Burnley striker Jay Rodriquez has apparently attracted interest from fellow Lancashire clubs Blackburn and Bolton over a supposed move. The fee is believed to be in the region of 4 million as the striker will be out of contract at the end of next season. The striker has also declined a new contract and Eddie Howe beleives he's leaving the club.(5)(18)Be NO fee if he,s out of Contract ? {Ed003's Note - If you bother to actually read the post it say's at the end of next season,which is correct}He'll go to Norwich...

Burnley have apparently expressed they're interest in signing Bourmouth winger Marc Pugh. Pugh worked with Howe when he was manager at Burnley and came through the ranks at Burnley and supported them as a boy.(12)(7)Depends if Bournemouth want to let him go. No need for the money now. Woould need to up his game considerably if he plans to play in the championship

Have far bigger names on their radar. Just a guess on your partOh yeah because Leicester are such a massive club Premiership players can't wait to drop a division and play for a mid-table Championship team!You can Have James Collins for Free mate he's the most at VillaLeicester are a massive club! Should be getting out of this decision. Players won't drop down but for the wages we can offer it may persuade them...

Ipswich may sign Taylor and Boyd from Peterborough, but it won't be cut-price. You don't get cut-price bargains off Barry Fry's market stall.(13)(10)They will go to Norwich in return for a midfielder and centre back plus cash.With the debt that the tractor boys have plus they are not in the prem Paul Jewell is avin a laugh.Listern you cretin, Ipswich are not in Debt, that's been brought by Marcus Evans, FACT, and i can assure you your P Lambert aint interested in the pair of them, his sights are set a little higher.35 million in debt when Marcus Evans took over !if it wasnt for him you would be in admin by now numb nuts.

Portsmouth to have a new owner by mid July. Owner will be British (English) and is buying the club for £1 + other costs.
Pompey on the way back?(14)(30)Who would want to buy them?
Minuscule squad.
Don't own a stadium.
Don't own a training ground.
Have to pay millions of pounds to renew the contract with Southampton University.
Average, at best, support (one of the lowest in the championship)
Millions of pounds in debt.Must be wrong-who in their right mind would pay as much as £1!You should of been closed down for good.Is there a consortium to raise the pound needed?How about a "score" for Pompey?
Tomorrow, Saints plenty, Pompey nil!You realise that pompeys debt are huge amounts more than the clubs worth? With no facilities, and impending league 1, it's looking slim that any one would buy them. It's like buying a car without an engine. Waste of money.Pompey owe in the region of £50m , so to lavish £1.00 for this debt does seem a teeny weeny bit STUPID {Ed003's Note - I'll buy the car for a quid if nobody else wants it }I dont support either Southampton, Portsmouth or even Bornemouth I support the 5th best team in the premier league at the minute but Portsmouth don't have many fans but I say they have the best in BritainSome strange 'facts' being quoted!So lets get real - Pompey do own their ground, Their debts will be off set by a CVA, which wil be signed because the alternative is liquidation which would mean remaining parachute payments would be cancelled and therefore not be distributed amongst the creditors. So the club will then be for sale with zero debt BUT still a very high payrol that will ensure a loss in year 1 of the ,new business'. This would be in the region of £5m unless most players are sold. However, players like Ben Haim on £36k per week are difficult to sell! This isthe reason that a very low selling price is likely. Other clubs have been through similar situations, and it's all about bad ownership!Pay off every single penny
they owe before they
anybody can buy themSo much for the prediction of 'Saints plenty, Pompey nil'..............The only reason Saints even got a point was due to the ref allowing their second goal to stand although it was clearly offside! Time you Saints fans accepted that you are currently top on merit, but you are really nothing all that special.Yeah, 'cause Rangers being sold for a quid worked out a charm2nd goal wasn't offside because the header to him was from a pompey player.
but 2-2 seemed about fair
06 Apr 2012 14:07:22
Huddersfield looking at Rangers left back Lee Wallace(5)(20)Excellent player but Rangers still owe Hearts £800K for him!Keep looking to good for youHe is gonna swap potential trophies at a big club which will get him international football, for league one?Don't think Hudderfield have £3m

England are set to take a chance and will approach Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish about becoming their new manager. The FA are impressed with how he stands by his players from the media and feels he would do the job internationally. With him also being unsettled at Anfield, the Scotsman could link up with the national side on a deal until after the World Cup in Brazil.(4)(84)Of course they will! He's the best manager in the game and will be available at the end of the season when he will be sacked.This should have been posted on April the first.Some scouser has put this up are they that deluded? id rather have paul ince as manager and hes terribleHe has the right credentials...............picks the worst winger in the country........ie Downing just like previous England managers. He won't leave Liverpool- am sure the other 19 PL managers would want him to stay there as well.I think your all missing a something bigger than hes a poor manager, and that is the fact hes SCOTTISH and there is not one scotsman that will ever even consider managing england, let alone actually except the job.Ha haha got to be a scotland fan who put this one up,Nice one fergie.This is awesome but why are people biting at this?'This is awesome but why are people biting at this?'
By people you mean one person ?One Scot who would take the English job is Alex McCleish. He will be available at the end of the season and no Premier outfit will want him.You are joking ???!!!Are you serious he would probably be the 30th choice Redknapp Pardew Ferguson(only because he said he was offered the job but said naw) Hughton Glenn Hoddle probably too Wenger alot more most of the premier league the championship a couple of foreignersNever hire a scot,,,,,,it just would not go down well with fans,,,,am no saying that the fans r bigots but come on it wouldnt b rightWho actualy clicked believe on this rumor? anyway i wouldnt mind a scottish manager they are the best managers in football if a scot were to get it i would like to see david moyes get the job hes an excellent manager and he will replace alex at utd 1 day
THE HEMMINATORTotal carp,the FA says they will only employ an English speaking manager,the only language Dalglish speaks is fluent Bo@@ox
06 Apr 2012 13:20:34
salif diao to wigan(8)(17)Mate give it a rest posting anyone you can think of to wigan.Please please please let this move happen (although I wouldn't like to wish him on wigan) just get him out of Stoke, apparently been offered a coaching / ambassador role but wants to play. He hasn't been good enough to play for 5 years now. I'll drive him to anywhere he wants to go.

matthew kilgallon to wigan(10)(20)
06 Apr 2012 12:28:40
Stoke rumoured to have a deal in place to take Lukaku on a season long loan as Kenwyne Jones is set to move on. A deal they agreed with Chelsea a few months ago after they tried to take him this season but failed due to the 3 club rule. Jones is interesting a few clubs in England and abroad.
Salif Diao is set for a move to France in the Summer
Robert Huth keen on a move to Germany
A French left back is interesting the Potters
Jarvis as reported by many is on their radar. This looks quite likely
Stoke are very interested in a player who faced them in this season's EL but don't have a name.
Sorensen likely to exit also with a great deal of interest in him
Woodgate/Upson/Tonge/Soares and a few more to be cleared out. Upson unhappy that Pulis blocked his move to China.(18)(6)Huth's going nowhere. He's hero worshiped at Stoke and loves the club. He's also got one of the best partnerships with Shawcross in the EPL.Based on what? Why has he not signed a new contract? I love it when people say so and so 'loves the club' etc when they have no idea what is going on. Did Huth tell you that personally that he's going nowhere? Stoke are doing their best to keep him but he wanted away last August hence him being dropped if you must know.

Charlton look to bring back luke young from qpr(13)(10)

Happy 90th Birthday Sir Tom Finney.
from all at the seaside
Mr.Roller Coaster(20)(9)Many thanks,at last a birthday shout for 1 of the greatest football players around,too many poeple use the word LEGEND too often but sir Tom Finney is and allways will be a LEGEND and its taken until 11pm until someone has mentioned his name on his 90th birthday on a footy page..shame on you all!
SIR TOM FINNEY...FOOTBALL LEGEND..happy 90th fella! {Ed001's Note - and it was a Blackpool fan saying happy birthday to a Preston legend!}A very happy birthday sir tom from a wolves fan.Thxs to the lasher fanThankyou, sadly Toms mind is not his own which is just as well as i shudder to think of his opinion of the shambloic goings on on the famous pitch he once graced. Happy Birthday Sir Tom.
To the PNE players, the shirt is yours to loan. Whether you decide to wear it and become legendary and part of Preston Folklore like Tom or just get it dirty to make a living from is your choice!!How can you 'disagree' with a 90-year-old man's birthday? Did the seven who did have special dispensation from their carers before they pressed 'disagree'?
05 Apr 2012 18:41:18
Southampton interested in signing goalkeeper Ben Foster to replace ageing kelvin davis if the club make it to the prem.(25)(25)No chance why would he go there ???Why would we want him?Same reason he went to West Brom and Birmingham I guessGotta be better than where he currently is.Kelvin still only 34. That's pretty young for a keeper... :LI would keep Davis over Foster. Foster is a good shot stopper but clueless on crosses. Stoke got rid of him and so did Man UHe wont go to southampton as he knows they are still a chumpionship side, Fulham more like if Blues will sell.
05 Apr 2012 18:33:29
Southampton and Newcastle have both made bids for Jay Rodriguez (Burnley). Eddie Howe says he will be sold this summer.(29)(9)Yep to saints, tried in jan but will be back with a bigger offer in the summer coyr!!! {Ed003's Note - Eddie Howe has not said anything of the sort,but a big offer would likely see him leave, a very good prospect in my opinion }Norwich are preparing one too...
05 Apr 2012 18:29:11
Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay on the one man short list to replace Big Sam should West Ham fail to go up.
Malky see's this as a stepping stone to get to manage Celtic in the future. And he also see's West Ham as a far bigger club than Cardiff.(22)(13)To be honest most west ham fans see the club as bigger than most, big sam is right their all deluded.Only position Malky would take is as Scotland's national manager (heard that steps are already underway to get him in and Levein out).The malky mackay that recently signed a new contract at cardiff.... west ham big club my arse
05 Apr 2012 17:11:42
Matt Jarvis from Wolves to Stoke for £6 million asa the transfer window opens Pulis knows talent when he sees it
Berbatov to move to Galatasaray not sure for how much though
Hoilett to Liverpool on free transfer
All pretty sure will happen. And for those who will say stupid to the berbatov one a pre-contract has already been agreed. Fergie doesn't want him at Old Trafford any more.(23)(9)Rumour is he's on his way to southampton, if they get promotion.6m for Jarvis not a chance if they go down and do stoke need him? is he a stoke style player NO.Yes he is a stoke style player NOW. If you have watch stoke to past couple of seasons you will see that they play with 2 wingers to supply crosses to they 2 tall strikers. this is exactly what jarvis does, beat a player, get to the by-line and put in a decent cross. therefore would be an excellent buy for stoke.The problem with Jarvis is he can beat players ,score a goal but is useless at crossing.You obviously know NOTHING about Stoke above. Of course he is a Stoke style player..........they use two out and out wingers and Pulis has tried to sign him twice before.It will cost you more than 6 million are you a silly baggieIf Pulis knows talent when he sees it, why did he buy Cameron Jerome? May be he is building a team with surnames that start with J.Jarvis has been linked with better clubs than stoke.
hoillet to bayern munich is done deal however waiting until transfer window.
up the wolvesJarvis is overrated best to stop atwolves in league 1
05 Apr 2012 17:07:35
Whittingham will not move why would he he's obviously happy here and he's married to a girl from penarth(7)(25)Because there's bigger better teams that would want himBe in premier league team next yearUntil a bigger club offers him decent money he's happy you mean :-)Shows how much you know whitts ain't married. And he's off so get used to life without himNCFC want himEven if he has married a girl from Penarth it's possible she could move with him.
05 Apr 2012 17:05:42
Yes Ross McCormack did leave Cardiff for a reason to play for a club that's not managed by david jones(15)(3)
05 Apr 2012 15:21:40

Woodgate may return to Leeds although Norwich intetested
Huth not decided on his future at Stoke
Jones interesting 2 Prem clubs and Malaga
Southampton intetested in Sorensen
Many fringe players set to leave
Ins
Jarvis at Wolves a real major target. Stoke enquired in Jan but Wolves wanted Whelan
Stoke made two ambitious enquiries to Man U
Stoke looking to raid Chelsea for two players who are available in the Summer....one permanent one on loan(15)(7)Sorensen would be great for us and good competition for davisWhat makes you say Malaga are interested in jones? Source?Malaga and QPR enquired re Jones in Jan. Sorensen back up for Kelvin Davis :-) Yeah right and maybe you'll get Van Persie as back up for Lambert as well
05 Apr 2012 15:10:23

05 Apr 2012 13:39:58
chelsea going for hazard, modric and ba in a deal worth over £100 million(11)(36)You can buy Ba for about £8m.
Modric for about £40m
Hazard for £30m
total: £78mSorry guys but Chelsea had a bid turned down of 40mil for Luka modric so they won't get him for 30mil everybody knows that tottenham chairman will bring in Remy,hazard already in the summer to keep modric happy cheersNot a chance. Don't need players like Hazard, need players of more substance.
Modric has had an ok season, not a £40million season, Spurs will overcharge as they don't urgently need to sell and they are selling to a prem club. Chelsea have learnt from the Torres incident.
Comment above is wrong. Overall valuation of £100mil is reasonable, possibly 10mil too high. Ba is worth more than £8million. Toon are in no rush to sell after the £35mil from Carroll.Hazard and ba for 20 mil..interestingBa apparently has a buy out clause for £7 mill, Hazards buy out is 40 mill euros roughly£34 mill, so a total of £41 mill pounds so that would mean paying over £59 mill for Luka. I'm sure even Daniel Levy would be tempted by that but I don't see any of it happeningAnd how can "a" deal cover three selling clubsBa nearly 30 way past his sell by date
hazard min 50 million
modric min 40 million
05 Apr 2012 12:08:22
southampton to make speculative bid for kalou although player wants to stay . His departure is becoming more and more imminant(20)(20)Get realWould be a good signing for usAt first thoughts this seems outrageous. However, Saints are in the Market for prem quality players, and chelsea will be shifting the dead weight for next season, so it is likely they are making a "speculative bid". It seems unlikely it will go through, but it's not massively off the clubs ambitions. Would love for this to happenNo chance hahaSouthampton arent promoted yet.... how do you know that they might loose all remaining games?Doubt they will lose all their remaining games, but in the position they are in, it would not be unrealistic to believe they havent started enquiring on the premise that they do get promoted. If they don't go up then the deal simply wouldn't go through.
05 Apr 2012 11:11:52
Swindon are interested in shrewsburys striker Collins, they will make a move in the summer.(13)(5)Why when shrews could also be promoted along with the mad mans swindon (paola di canio)
05 Apr 2012 11:04:40
barnsley jacob butterfield could be on his way to newcastle in the summer fee up to 2k
source/daily mirror(13)(14)2 thousand poundss thats a bargain :)Sorry he's on his way to the saints and it will be for more then 2k lolI'm a Saints fan and I know for a fact he's not coming here unfortunately. Good little player but he's off to the Premiership in the summer. Newcastle and also Fulham sniffing around.Saints will be in the premier league next season lol so 3 teams after him then lol

Keep dreamingPosh couldent afford vardyPoppycockPogba is a Man Utd sub he won't join,don't think they will sell all those players, Miller rather stay at Forest and Vardy will go to Leicester or someone, a team that will press for the Premier LeagueBarnett,Percival and Brisley are done deals, cant see us taking the Man Utd lads as Fergie despite his reputation has never really done that at Posh, Dont think Paul Jones will be leaving although others will be
05 Apr 2012 10:17:26
If Wolves are relegated Norwich City will make a move for their midfielder David Davis
reports suggest they will offer somewhere in the region of £1.25m-850k(8)(23)Team will be rebuilt around Davis - Not a chance birdmenHe is a player that goes on loan to League 1 sides so he might go to NorwichNot a chance in hellDavis has been guaranteed 1st team place if wolves go down and they dont want money they are financially secureDont need him and would rather have Whittingham
05 Apr 2012 08:49:15

Wolves: Nikola Zigic - Birmingham - £2 million
GOD HOW I HOPE THE PARK ONE FOES THROUGH!!
GOT THESE OFF OF A VERY VERY RELIABLE SOURCE!!(6)(57)Shaqiri already signed for bayern munchenShakqiri has already presigned for bayern.
Custom Made xYep and Hoilett's contract will have expired so any fee would be set by a tribunalDon't see Norwich getting Ricky Lambert either, he's committed his future to the club stating he wants to see his career out there. They're promotion is looking inevitable, just need to record 3 wins with West Hoof losing one, and its sealed. If they are up, then there would be no reason to sell a star striker to a club they will be battling to avoid relagation with.All BSAnd Kranjcar worth 10+million.... you deludedI have to admit as a spurs fan I am suprised that Nico is worth £10m.
also Hazard is not going to Man City, I know that for a fact!Wylde allready signed for boltonVilla haven't got 8.5 million to spend on players they're looking at free and loan signingsTchoyi is out of contract in the summerSorry but looking at the comment above - Villa said they are willing to buy a few big money players.
Its the wages not transfer fees that we worry on.
Naismith is not joining WBA though.Even though im a Norwich fan, i too can't see us signing Ricky Lambert. Ricky Lambert would be a great signing but with Southampton almost promoted (bar a couple of wins) i think it would cost any club (not just Norwich) more than £5m.
The guy just knows where the goal is, these sort i've players cost alot of money as we all know.Is zigic any good cos if he is wolves wont buy him,they dont know how to buy a good player just look at the crap we have allready.If more than 3 of these happen i will eat my metal studded football bootsI hope lambert comes to Norwich...Lambert is agood player but norwich need a fast nimble st. Southampton wiuld be daft to sell him to anyone
05 Apr 2012 01:48:21
Gylfi Sigurdsson is interesting arsenal as Arsene Wenger has been talking to Brian McDermott about the player(13)(17)Would love to see Gylfi playing for a top 4 club, he really deserves it.Saints want him so watch this space"Saints want him so watch this space"
Dream on, he is far too good for them. Their are much bigger and better clubs out there after him.Brian mcdermott is in charge of reading and swansea boss BRENDAN RODGERS only has gylfi sigurdsson on loan from hoffienheimBrian McDermott?'Brian mcdermott is in charge of reading and swansea boss BRENDAN RODGERS only has gylfi sigurdsson on loan from hoffienheim'

Leeds United Updates:
Paul Robinson will sign on a free transfer on May 1st, when his contract at Bolton expires.
George Boyd will snub any interested championship clubs, including Leeds and Burnley, in the hope of playing premiership football next season.
Neil Warnock wants to sign 15 players in the summer and will have talks with owner Ken Bates after Leeds' game against Derby this month.
Billy Paynter, Leigh Bromby, Mikael Forssell, Mika Vayrynen, Ben Parker and Paul Connolly will all be sold this summer, as Warnock seeks to get rid of - quote Warnock - 'dead wood'.
Paddy Kenny would love to link up with Warnock again and is rumoured to sign this coming transfer window. This comes after Mark Hughes confirmed his interest in signing a new keeper, with Rob Green rumoured to sign for QPR.(11)(8)Well Boyd will have to wait a bloody long time if he thinks he can jump up to the premiership level, he's too in and out of form player,Boyd has got real ability, but no pace. That's why he's not a premiership player now.Good luck with selling that lot. He'll do well to get one stick from a Twix and before you tell me to concentrate on my own team......I'm a Leeds fan.

Steven Naismith to sign for West Brom in the summer for £2,500,000 but could rise to £3,000,000 with add on fees.(13)(18)Should that not read 250,000? 2.5m is a lot for an unknown player from Scotland.Naismith is worth more like £6m in my opinion.
West Brom can have heskey for free.Heskey to wolves or leicester,
naismith to un named league 1 club.Rangers wont sell naismith unless the clubs debt doubles and then add on 10 million
04 Apr 2012 18:41:40

Burnley will snap up George Boyd from Peterborough for around £950k after the midfielder was transfer listed by the club after not accepting a new contract offer.(7)(18)Cant see itIsnt he available on a free?No he will have a year leftGeorge has bigger things on his mind than little old Burnley!What he has on his mind and what he gets are two different things, deffo not premiership levelVery underarated player in my opinion. Would do a cracking job for many sides in the lower half of the prem and those in the top 6 of the championshipVery skillful, very one paced. If he was two yards quicker he would have been in the prem 3 seasons

Chelsea will attempt to sign Marek Hamsik as they see him as the ideal long term replacement for Frank Lampard.
Also, Dider Drogba will only sign a new contract if Chelsea hire Jose Mourinho.(18)(17)

Newcastle to sign Jan Vertonghen, Erik Peiters and Louis Saha in order to compete in Europe next season.(8)(37)Vertonghen would never sign for newcastle nor saha , what a dreamer.Louis Saha is a free in the summer, so very chance he would love a return to Newcastle... Vertonghen is a long shotTheres no need for saha, with Cisse, Ba, Best, Sammy and Shola Ameobi. The other two are most likely out of the list.Ba and cisse out every january sammy ameobi not a striker so saha is possible vertongHen no he will cost more than 15 million and probably go to bayern or arsenal
Douglas and cissokho are more releastic targetsWhy wouldn't vertonghen or saha sign?
ben arfa, cabaye, cisse, ba all opted for the toon over other clubs... santon tooVertonghen is only worth £8m and I dont think we will get him anyway I think we will get Douglas from FC Twente and Pieters as you rightly said for £5m from PSV. But Saha is noLois saha plays for spurs and they will play europe next season whereas toon are lucky to finish to 6

Blackburn will sell up to at least 8 first- team players if they get relegated.
Out:
Martin Olsson (Galatasary)
David Goodwillie (Celtic or Championship side)
Mauro Formica
Paul Robinson
Yakubu
Scott Dann (Stoke)
Michel Salgado (Will be sold regardless of relegation)
Junior Hoillett (Contract expired - Tottenham or Liverpool)(22)(12)David Goodwillie to Celtic "or a Championship side". If Blackburn get relegated they WILL be a Championship side...I can certainly see this happening, maybe not all 8 at once, but definitely see Martin Olsson moving to Galatasaray the Turkish sideAnother Championship sideFormica(Top championship side)
Robinson( Reading, West ham, Southampton or Lecister)
Yakubu( Decent premiership side)You will be a championship sideRobinson wont be going to saints reading or whu unless they sell they're current no.1sHoillet will go to bayern munichGoodwillie will not sign for Celtic - he's a Rangers fan and has integrity... and a decent right uppercut!

Take it how you will but I did break the Crouch, Upson, Woodgate and news amongst others.
A few outs at Stoke on the cards.
Pennant has created a lot of interest but the player wants to stay despite his problems- was talk of a swap with Everton's Coleman in Jan.
Jones is interesting a few clubs including Norwich and Soton.
Etherington is wanted by A Villa who failed in a bid before. Everton interested also
A lot of fringe players to move on including Upson, Tonge, Soares etc
Targets include Jarvis and Ward at Wolves.
A main target for Stoke is Charlie Adam who Liverpool are keen to unload if a subsidary deal can be agreed
Stoke are still keen to bring in Defoe which had been on-going for some months.
Still a lot of uncertainty over Huth's future(8)(22)A lot of talk in Wolverhampton of Jarvis to Stoke. Wilkinson the other way.Defoe won't go to stoke hes a family man, very close to his immediate family, one of the reasons he didn't really settle at pompey...so I doubt a trip up north would happen..sorryAdam,in your dreamsCan't say am bothered if we sign Adam or not but have decent info rather than nonsensical opinion like yourself based on nothing. Defoe moving is a sticking point but his house is for sale on a certain web site .Why would coalman or adam go to stoke, and do you know they are both under six foot, and have never played rugby in their life !Stoke and Sunderland are both apparently after Adam who will more than likely leave in the Summer it seems. Can see one of the two landing him to be honest. Also heard that Liverpool and Leverkusen are both interested in Huth.Never mind the rest, why would everton swap a talented young player for pennant?Etherington to Villa?
Villa the club that had Ashley Young? I'm sorry but I think you have this confused with a rubbish club not a decent club.So you want ward let me know what time you want him i will have him there earlyI agree- why would Etherington go to Villa and get involved in a relegation scrap? They HAD Ashley Young you're right :-)Ward is not very good and jarvis will probably end up at everton or sunderland

West Brom set to make a shock bid for Middlesbrough midfielder Nicky Bailey; who's contract expires in the summer.
Source - SSN(14)(10)I think Celtic were looking at him too but don't think he'd come to Scotland if an EPL club is in for him.Does not expire till 2013, so they will have to bid a few millionWill that be the same shock as naismith zzz

TIM HOWARD to Arsenal for £2millon(4)(48)Hmmm. Presumably this is the contribution of a very bored Kopite, as it makes no sense on any level - Arsenal don't need a first choice 'keeper (which Howard would surely demand to be); Everton don't want to lose him; Howard himself has recently given several interviews in which he's stated how happy he is at Everton; and £2 million is a laughably low sum.Are you drunk mate? change that to about £10m and you're halfway there.Everton are trying to offer him another contract so I would think that's not going to happen.
melwing28Poster no. 2 I believe you must be drunk yourself, as good a keeper as we all know him to be he is not worth 20m.A keeper that scores..... worth 20 mil of anyones money ;-)
WESTYArsenal have tried twice to sign Sorensen in the last 18 months so they are after a new keeper. Rumours that Hennessey is a target in the SummerAND, before his first game, he will ride around the pitch on shergare, led by lord lucan.Poster no. 4 - he started it!!!!!!Not good enough for arsenalYeah Right because Arsenal have such great quality keepers :-)

Southampton are interested in Stoke defender Matthew Upson as reported in the Sun and the Daily Mirror. Also in the Sun before the South Coast Derby this weekend its says that Portsmouth striker Kanu could be heading to Qatari club Al-Arabi.(20)(12)Would make sense as they wanted him in Jan but Stoke said noHe wants a move to londonPersonally, I would rather we avoid old has-beens that will demand high wages. We have arguably the best CB pairing in our division, and theyre both young. No need to break the bank for someone that won't play immediately, and in't better than our current players. Would be bad business.Actually the few games he's played for Stoke he's been very impressive. Think you're exaggerating re your CB pairing of course but the blond lad (Zak?) looks real impressive. Soton did try to loan Upson but China looks like his next move
04 Apr 2012 09:06:51
Southampton are going to save matthew upson from his stoke city nightmare in the summer(20)(9)I heard reading were looking at him, take from that what you will, its probably just lazy journalism as he spent some time on loan at reading beforeMatthew Upson been linked with a move to China again this week
