liverpool are trying to bring in flamini as a straight swap for aquilani(11)(36)Are you desperate?Flamini is a decent player and is also versatile. If it's Liverpool's intention to sign a short-term replacemen for Lucast, Flamini would be a decent option. Saying that, I still think that they'll persist with Spearing in the meantime.

Both Jelavic and Davis of Rangers being punted around EPL with £6.5m and £2m being quoted aslong as payment is cash- direct from an agent. McGregor will only be sold for £6m plus should stay until the Summer. McCoist is planning double swoop on St.Johnstone for Sandanza and Davidson but wages have been laughed at. Loan for Chelsea youth player but don't know name.(21)(8)Also heard this about Davis and heard he is gutted because he is the captain of his boyhood heroes! Without him the league is gone!Your club might be gone soonTwo million for davis ? we paid three million for him and he has just penned a new five year deal so get a grip and stop talking pish timothy !!St Johnstone shall be looking for at least 1500000 for the 2 of them something rangers do not have as they are about to go bustUtter rubbish.

Hi Ed, do you know of any Norwich transfer rumours? Or do you know if any of these rumours are true; Snodgrass, Matt Philipps, Jordan Rhodes, Nicky Maynard, Chris Gunter, Wilfried Zaha? Just names I have heard, and would love to know if you know if there is any truth behind any of these. Also do you know anymore about the young German player? {Ed003's Note - Phillips has been watched by a lot of teams and at least 2 offers have been turned down,the others I dont know,sorry }(9)(8)No way Zaha will go Norwich, bigger clubs looking at him and he signed a 5 year deal 2 weeks ago.

And yes im a palace fan, not hating #justsaying^ this isn't twitter?You have no hope of getting Snodgrass, he wants to join CelticHope snograss does join glasgow celticPhilips to norwich what garbage is this if he goes and only if, it will be to a big club his manager said chairman said and so did the player so give it a rest fool.

Podolski to arsenal 9 million

Pato to arsenal 40 million

Rhodes to arsenal swoop with afobe

Arshavin to zenit

Fabianski to norwich-loan

Afobe to huddersfield(12)(8)Yeeeeeeeee right , pato whos injury prone for 40 mil , so who sits on the bench van persie, ur crazay , a crazay man u r whos just .... carazy

5 gold starsBelievable apart from PatoYou won't get pato podolski or Rhodes keep smoking the good stuffHudders will want more than afobe he is there RVP at least �4m and then maybe afobe aswell!Afobe not bad player. lot younger the rhodes but rhodes going to be a lot better player, afobe couldn't hit barn door last season butstill young would expect 4-5m plus afobe! UTTWhy would Norwich want another keeper? Fans have every faith in Ruddy and have 3 good young keepers at the club so no keeper will be bought at carrow for some time

09 Jan 2012 21:58:54

People are saying that Dobbie is part of a swap deal for Maynard between Swansea and Bristol City, but the talk going on around Swansea is that Leroy Lita is the player involved in the deal and not Dobbie. Lita is not playing much game time at the Swans and may be would be up for a return to Bristol City.(4)(13)No chance of Leroy returning to Bristol, he would be in too much trouble of the pitch for it to be sensible.It is on the back page of the Bristol Evening Post about the Maynard - Dobbie and cash deal. i would not want Lita back at ashton Gate, very lazy, useless and over ratedNow reported on the BBC website too

09 Jan 2012 21:41:19

that was a bit convenient, henry unmarked and scores the winner, I bet that there was a few big bets placed on that one?r(20)(7)From where I was sitting it looked offside, but as it was Henry it was over-looked. Too busy cooing over him. Yes I am a Leeds fan and yes Arsenal deserved to win, they had enough blooming chances to win comfortably. However I do feel like it wasn't going to be their night and would have welcomed a draw, just so we could have another go at them with the likes of Snodgrass and some new transfers.Henry wasn't offside...aidy white played him on

09 Jan 2012 21:40:15

Leeds to offer Henry a loan move after a drab game at the emirates, master bates having a wet dream over the night(12)(28)

leicester to sign

cameron stewart and billy sharp

southampton to sign gary hooper and nicky maynard

west ham to sign jordan rhodes and vedran corluka(19)(34)Dream on about hooper hes to good for the championship and hes out of ur price range!!Cameron doesn't want to go and Hull don't want to sell so Leicester are wasting their time.All these players are far 2 good for the camp. This is utter rubbishDonny and Leicester have already agreed a fee for Sharp just awaiting personal termsSouthampton and Celtic have agreed a fee for HooperWhy is it ppl think that hull wont sell 2 leicester? its utter bcks! bye far the richest club in the championship FACT! if pearson desperately wants sum1 then he will get him end of!! BLUE ARMYHow can you judge if Hooper is to good for the Championship when he only plays in that piss pot SPLLeicester are nowhere near the richest club in the Championship, their owner barely makes the top half of the table, he just seems to like wasting his money. They might get Sharp, they won't get Stewart.If you are judging "richest" club by the wealth of its owner, you may want to check out who own Southampton FC and how much they are worth.Im a celtic fan hooper wont be sold for any priceSharp isn't going to leicesterCameron Stewart is going nowhere! He as pledged his alligence to Hull City, so quitter Pearson might as well look elsewhere eh!

09 Jan 2012 20:51:19

Bradford City keen on taking Watford striker Joe Garner on loan to add to their firepower. Garner is out of favour at Vicarage Road with Sean Dyche looking at loan options instead of the former Forest man.(2)(5)

09 Jan 2012 20:49:09

Youre mad, wolves dont pay big wages, and are not in debt at all, old firm arent a force and couldnt hack the pace of the prem.(11)(5)It is easy to slag the old firm, but rangers got �2m for winning the title last year,when the team that finish bottom of the epl get �35m. Just remember that is every year. Given a level playing field rangers and Celtic would blow wolves out of the water. Just remember that rangers took 150,000 fans to Manchester, no other team in the

World could have done that.

I don't think 150000 have even Heard of wolves {Ed003's Note - It was 100k yesterday,but you have to remember you play under a different affiliation, I just dont get it myself nobody from other affiliations try to compere themselves with the EPL ? }Behave of course the old firm could cope in the pl. Might take a couple of seasons to get some money but could defo compete. The money in the pl is ten fold to the spl and we have some I the largest fan base in the ukI'm a wolves fan, but I have to say if Rangers or Celtic were given the chance to play in the Premier League and had the money that that goes with it they would grow and become a force within a few years. The size of the clubs there fan base's are huge they have massive gates compared to English clubs like Wigan. This is one of the main reasons that they should never be given the oppurtunity because english clubs would suffer in the long run.I am not being funny, but the EPL is shown all around the world to possibly even billions of people if you think about it in Asia, so even if 'knowing' about Wolves is only a by product of playing against some of the so called better teams in the world, it is still more coverage than what the SPL gets, I am not sure of exact numbers, but the supporter numbers (people who have bought tickets), are in the 200 thousands, so even taking in the fact a few people will have 1, 2 or possibly even 3 numbers, that could accumulate up to at least 125k people buying tickets alone, there are also quite a number of fan clubs around the world who follow Wolves, and also the general support who dont go to games, so I do believe 150000 have at least heard of Wolves.

Just to add, I think you would struggle to begin with in the EPL as if you were a championship club who has just been promoted if you look at your squads as they are (Players who couldnt make it in the EPL, and those who are untested Championship players or those who haven't left Scotland yet. You have a few exciting young players coming through, dont get me wrong even your national side will be decent in a few years time, but just 1 thing you will struggle to compete with in the EPL, and that is to attract players, who wants to go to Glasgow, when there are alot better cities on offer in England, from an outsider looking in I know where I would go, and almost anywhere in England is better than Scotland (I stress not everywhere).

So to conclude, until you actually do start playing in the EPL, we will never know how you would do, and since this is almost certainly not going to happen, I think and more discussion on it is pretty pointless?Wolves fan is talking sense. we would compete and it would be hard for a season or two but we would have the fan base and the ability to attract big players. After a few years they'd be up neat the top.'A force' doubtful, midtable at best.SPL sides would only be half decent in the championship, there best players are of the same calibre of kyle lafferty who couldnt even hack the championshipThe two sticking points with this are,

Where would Celtic & Rangers,Conference?

Blue Square? they could not be expected to

join the football league without having to progress through the divisions on merit,and what would happen to the SPL

without the revenue that the Big Two generate.Although there are some good points being made here they are completely irrelevant as it will never happen, although you could ask the question as to why the EPL has Welsh teams in it?

BobbybuffonThe Welsh teams were in there from the start or at least very early on!

bournemouth to sign Swindons Matt Ritchie for 1.5 million plus add ons........ Big things happening at the south coast club thanks to russian investment with the club already having spent over 2 million on permanent deals for their loan signings acording to Steve fletcher (Bournemouth striker) who I was chatting to in the gym tonight(6)(27)Disregard this one.....He wasn't in the gym. He was on twitter posting pictures of him playing darts on the xbox with his daughters. Check for yourselves.....the truth is out there.Total rubbish for a start Bournemouth wouldnt pay 1.5 million and Ritchie wont go to Bournemouth as he sees Swindon and what is happenning there a bigger club than Bournemouth.He'll sign eventually, not for �1.5m though. League two players are not worth that much. Swindon might get some sign on clauses but if the lad is that good he's going to want to move to a club on the up.I'll bet you 1.5 million he doesnt go to liitle Bournemouth and any Russian who is a pal of your chairman has to be iffy how many times has his company gone bust - oh Yes that s it just the SEVEN TIMES. - and apparently he is proud to call his current building company seven building

09 Jan 2012 21:47:18

Liverpool linked with any player who has a pulse!(48)(12)Its better to be linked, and lost, than never to be linked at all. Everton take note.

ynwaAnd all of those players are willing to walk bare footed as they are Liverpool fans and are coming for a quarter of the asking price because everyone wants to be part of the club.I think you are mistaken its Tottenham who are linked to any living species in the world..........and a fair few that don'tWell maybe not ipswich players, not that many of them belong to them! OTBC!

Christoph Daum new England coach.

According to resident HVM, the 58-year old

has been made first chice replacement for

Fabio Capello.

65y old Italian has 60% winning record

since he took over in December 2007.

However, his contract will run out on July, 30th 2012

If he does not fail the medical test,

Daum will be second German to coach national team

in the UK, after Bertie Vogts' spell with Scotland.(2)(16)

09 Jan 2012 21:25:33

Demba Ba will be staying at St. James Park until next summer and he will most likely be moving to PSG who will offer him sky high wages, the Senegalese forward was born in Paris and according to the man himself he has always wanted to play for PSG. Tottenham,Liverpool and Arsenal are all thought to be interested in Ba who has a £5m release clause and i'm sure we will hear about this clause nearly every day until the 1st of February but a January move appears highly unlikely while a summer move to moneybags PSG who need a forward seems very likely.(25)(15)Already in talks

09 Jan 2012 20:57:03

Junior Hoilett deal almost done as kk sees him as the ideal player to fill RW position. Liverpool to also bid for stokes tuncay sanli and/or Demba Ba of Newcastle. Kk also needs to bolster the midfield and will target chiek tiote. The only player to transfer from overseas will be gaston ramirez of Bologna to add some creativity to the side.

The futures bright......the futures red {Ed025's Note - is there anyone who they are not buying?(4)(39)They wont be signing Ken Aguero!Tuncay Sanli doesn't play for Stoke anymore he left last seasonYeah evraLiverpool to spend 70 mil plus in this window? LOL no, they will sell Suarez to Real for 30 mil, and then maybe they will spend some of that.Tuncay has been to germany and now bolton on loan,u know plenty about football it seems

Mark Hughes will become new QPR manager {Ed025's Note - mystic meg has got nothing on you!..(26)(6)

09 Jan 2012 20:26:54

QPR why buy players like johnson when you can get quality like chamakh? stupid(2)(25)Chamakh, quality, ask any Arsenal fan to describe him in one word, you won't get many responding with quality.

Apparently Ipswich have had a bid for Dave Kitson rejected for approximately £500,000. And also Portsmouth have agreed to sign simon Cox and Marc_Fortune with either Ben Haim or Luke Varney going the other way, depending on their choosing. Also Darcy Blake has agreed to join Portsmouth for a fee up to £250,000 depending on if pompey get a owner by then! any other pompey news uve heard pleasee reply and tell me what that is!;)(5)(25)Ipswich are 60 million in debt no more moneyI'd heard that Pompey need to get rid of Ben Haim, Kitson, Varney and Lawrence before the window shuts to drastically reduce their wage bill. If they can't and don't get new owners pretty quickly they won't be able to pay January's wages. And whoever buys them is going to need to rebuild the ground having paid Gaydamak �15 million or so for the land around Fratton Park first, find and build a new training ground (instead of renting a school field in Eastleigh) and then build an academy from the ground up. Although would anyone invest all that in a club only getting average gates of 15,000?Any news on the takeover15.000 is good for a 20.000 stadium given were now in the championship. And we don't owe 15 million to gaydamak for the land at all. He owns the land around the ground I.e the car park which is a few mill tops. There's a lot of money to be made at Pompey it's wether the right people invest or not. Could make huge profit long term. Plus we have the best fans in England fact.10 Jan 2012 09:03:44

www.twtd.co.uk/news.php?storyid=19872&title=clegg_reiterates_backing_for_jewell

Read it

Marcus Evans has and will continue to back jewell with Money and it's not Ipswich in that much dept it's how much Evans has lost! :)Surely if you had the best fans in the country every home game would be a sell out, would it not?, please enlighten me as to how anyone can make a profit from Portsmouth. You need to wake up and smell the roses mate, PFC are in trouble BIG TIME. Now that's a FACT!I would have thought that �500K was about right for Kitson, also Haden Mullins for around the same fee, at least they wouldnt have to worry if they were going to be paid each month, I cant see for the life of me who would invest in Pompey, I think they have been delt a raw deal when Harry took over, well over spent to get their success and now its biting them back big time, I do hope someone comes in and brings some stability to Pompey they dont deserve all this crap that they and the fans have been dragged through.

Ipswich Town FanJust like there was money to be made out of Chelsea and any other team that's been tarted up and rolled in glitter. Pompey have fantastic fans and are feeling the pinch like everyone else. I would say 15.000+ is very good for them considering where they are at the moment. They'll be fine I like Pompey always have done. Very passionate people and I hope they finally get right owners that treat them right? And get them back to the prem etc

Nicky Maynard to swansea for 2m plus dobbie(13)(17)Offer accepted.

Some fickle footy supporters out there. If Swansea sign him he will score goals. Reasons- He be playing with better players, training with better players and playing for one of the best managers in the prem.Why do you think the manager is one of the best in the prem league. You Jack person you have played 20 games and won 5 that makes him a great manager yes.

fabio aurelio to sunderland 3.25m(24)(20)...with his injury record ?? :)Im a liverpool fan, and when he is fit he is a top player, however when is the big thing. I heard somewhere that in the course of his liverpool career he played less than 30% of games he should have been available for. A shame really because a fully fit in form aurellio is a threat to any team. If you get him, when he plays you'll love him, but I doubt a club like sunderland would take such a big gamble on a plyer whose fitness is questionable at best

Birmingham City goalkeeper Colin Doyle could leave in the january transfer window with Watford keeping an eye on the situation.(14)(4)Dont blame him tbh. weve had him since 2003 he's only made 25 professional appearances for us, and only making 42 professional club appearances in total. i guess he needs the step down to watford so that he can get some first team action. hes a good keeper and ill miss him. fair play to him for sticking it out for 8 seasons!'OHHHHH we were in the Europa League' get over yourself mate, your championship now where you belong, not a step down for a mere average goalkeeper! Did great up at Liverpool didnt he last year!!

adam johnson on his way to anfield for 14m to get regular 1st team football before he loses his england spot for the euros(33)(31)Well Adam Johnson signed a new 5 year deal with city in nov knowing he was not getting 1st team football just wanted more money tho!...@PossibleDream on sunshine - no chance!No one of his calibre is going to join Liverpool , you are a second rate club now.Get used to it! He is a cracking little player and would not entertain you guys when he does not need to.FACT!

liverpool preparing a £17.5m bid for aaron lennon(20)(47)Unlikely, but he would be great.What while hes injured?Lol dont be so stupid boy , why would he want to go??Good moveWhy would they do that, Spurs won't sell Lennon and that kind of offer would hardly entice them to sell a player of his quality, plus why would he want to move to a team with only an outside chance of CL next season when he has an excellent chance where he isFor that money I'll drive him there myselfAaron lennon to liverpool it is very unlikelyAaron hates Liverpool! Not going to happenWhen theyve got about 100 wingers? i don't think so palI think 17.5 would be a decent price from any one other then liverpol but with their history of overpaying spurs should ask for double

YaoLiverpool got 100 wingers ?

Aaron Lennon hates liverpool -why

unlikley to happen, in this world-think again

lennon not good enough this season so keep him.

Also anything 'concrete' regarding Sunderland signing a forward? {Ed001's Note - the only concrete thing regarding a forward, is that they had Rhodes watched, but so did half the Prem!

Norwich City Hot Gossip;

No lies on this list.

In;

Juan Pablo Angel (short term loan) from MLS. De laet is going back due to his persistant back problems.

Gary Cahill's move to Chelsea is being held up as Bolton are dependant on them getting Norwich centre half Leon Barnett who is seeking a move for first team football.

Finally Aaron Wilbraham to Ipswich is happening, deal will be sorted in the next 48 hours. Player and club are said to be delighted about the capture of the ex mk dons player.(15)(18)What a load of rubbish this isI agree, most of this sounds rubbish rumours, Juan Pablo Angel / yeh right lol, and why would Norwich sell Barnett to Bolton a team who could impact on our chances of staying up, never going to happen. Wilbraham to Ipswich and is well documented in papers already, but will only happen if Lambert gets a fourth striker in for 1st team squad.The De-Laet could be a possible, because he has suffered a few injuries, but NCFC would still have to pay his salary through end of season, so it will only happen if Lambert has a replacement loan he desperately wants to bring in, because its an expensive option.

09 Jan 2012 17:31:31

Leicester city close to bringing emile heskey back to where it all began.Nigel Pearson's a long time admirer of the prolific striker's speed and ability to poach a goal out of nothing,a nominal fee is all that's required.Pearson's also hoping to recruit Kieran Dyer on a pay as you play deal to form a lethal partnership with heskey!(13)(12)AHAA "prolific" and "poach a goal out of nothing", have you been watching the same Heskey as the rest of us! ha too funny!Also heard this but with hargreaves in cm just for guaranteed strenght over 40 games a season!Dyer,s out for the seasonNot a hope of this happening heskey is out for the next monthHeskey taught messi all he knowsShrewd business from pearson,sleepless nights ahead for championship defences facing smash n grab,once they hit a purple patch no one will handle their pace and power,a lethal combination!He can trap a ball further than some can kick it

09 Jan 2012 17:31:08

my dad saw daniel levy at a conference, he asked him about anyu transfer rumours, he said there's a few irons in the fire, on of which being tim howard... his contract runs out in the summer too(4)(10)Everton goalie please no hes rubbish !Oh yes, because when a random person meets Levy, someone that Levy has never met, he will go and tell him a player who he is interested in, one that he hasn't told anyone else about.Going nowhere, + has three years on his contract, so a liar or very ill infomed.Daniel Levy would not be telling people who he was looking to buy and even if he did he wouldn't be looking at Tim HowardI doubt he would have said anything, are you mad?So he has Friedel, Gomes, and Cudicini, who are all better than Howard in my opinion.But Tim has a higher goals to chances ration than most of the spurs team

09 Jan 2012 17:31:05

Source from inside the club that Southampton had a bid of 4.5M for Gary Hooper rejected and as a result won't go over 6M as they don't want a bidding war and Hooper could want more then the 20k per week wage cap at St Mary's(9)(19)The wage cap at Saints is less than 20k it 12k and i keep telling you Saints fans about all these strikers you are tlaking about signing you will have a team of strikers according to you lot.

So again i will tell you Cortese wont buy players for silly money and wont pay more than your 12k wage cap- i know trust meI'm fairly sure Lallana is on 22 or 23K a week as it is, so I don't think the wage cap is 20K.12k? Ok, you clearly know nothing. Lallana and fonte for example, are both way above that. 22k is the wage cap. Get your facts right, and yes we maybe linked with a few strikers, a good manager doesnt go for one, he has back up plans, so yes alot of inquiries will be made. So think before you post. All it takes is a bit of logic.No FR know's what the wage cap is, if any, unless you have inside information, which so many people seem to have on here. Saints will sign players if it is for the good of the club, they wont pay silly money for any individual player. We have had our finacial problems before as most people are aware. Under Cortese this will not happen again, it not a lack of ambition, it is being sensible. Ask Pompey what happens when you try and buy success.The top player at Southampton is actually 17kWAGE CAP IS 20k per week 5k bonuses

Lee has agreed a 800k per year contractWell i know someone senior at Saints and im telling you the wage cap is 12k as i've told you lot before but you come out with these saints stories which are all fairy tales.

apparently you were getting Billy Sharp but looks like hes going to Leicester as both clubs have agreed a fee and i told you that as well. I know more about the inside of your club than you as i keep telling you because of a senior guy i know.

09 Jan 2012 17:28:50

Liverpool are considering a joint bid of around £6m for Huddersfield starlets Alex Smithies and Jordan Rhodes which would see the pair loaned back to Huddersfield until January of next year. Liverpool have already opened talks with Blackburn over a possible £7m move for David Hoilett. Dirk Kuyt,Joe Cole,Fabio Aurelio,Brad Jones,Alberto Aquilani and Maxi Rodriguez are likely to have left Anfield by the start of next season and Liverpool are planning summer moves for Luuk de Jong and Xherdan Shaqiri but while Liverpool continue to look towards the future they may miss out on Champions League football which will be detrimental in attracting the best young talent.(9)(26)Rhodes worth 6m alone and still no word on when smithies will return (if ever) just cant see itRhodes will go to NorwichRhodes is going no where until the summer depending on what league we are in. Why would anyone bid for smithes when he not fit!

09 Jan 2012 17:22:20

Gary hooper (Celtic) seen in black Mercedes at st Mary's Southampton this eve with agent(19)(31)Proven scorer at Champonship & SPL levels & a previous working relationship with Adkins. Fingers crossed, however Lennon didn't sound keen when interviewed recently.Hoope is not good enough to play for the current Saints team, i would be pretty down beat if this signing gets the go ahead.There must be 2 Gary Hooper's then because the one that plays for Celtic is actually in Glasgow right now #truthHooper isn't good enough? Are you insane, Hooper would be exactly the player we need along side Lambert. I know this is very very unlikely but I hope it's true.Yea lets drive from Glasgow to Southampton. That shouldnt take long...Hooper wouldn't leave to go to championship far to good for that levelWhat is it with some fans from small clubs ,who do you expect to sign ,rooney,messi,ronaldo ?I didnt know ashton lane was in southampton?

ahhh....unless it's one of those supersonic mercedes he's in

stop just making up 541t!Don't think that's likely. If a player was to sign then he'd surely be taken to Staplewood?More then likely adkins said today he was very close to completing a deal to sigh a top class player .... Ps said in the daily echo paperGuys, has anyone thought that he could have been picked up from Southampton airport in a black Merc, 90 min flight from Glasgow.

Rumour has it that Lennon wants to un- load him because of his wage demands to be paid top rate at club, this would release funds for him to bring in another striker, may actually be some truth in this story.

Celtic may get 60,000 in for big derby's but their share of TV money in Scottish league is poor, they get less than Championship clubs, so unless they get a goods run in euro cup they and Rangers struggle to get the really top players, they just can finance them.For a start, why would we be willing to sell our top scorer while we're attempting the treble, and the fact that we don't need to sell anyone?

Lennon has also said in the past day or so that no-one will be going anywhere unless crazy money is offered.

and where this nonsense rumour about hooper wanting to be top paid player comes from, i dont know. hooper has stated himself that any talk of contract extensions is being put off till the end of the season so he can focus on the games ahead without niggling worries

he's not going.....END OF!

09 Jan 2012 17:20:59

Bournemouth to bid for Matthew Ritchie again after refused a new contract at Swindon and they will be bidding the same as last time 500k(2)(16)You can bid 500k for Ritchie if you want which is mickey mouse money as you wont get him for that not when Championship teams are hovering for him and going to offer more money plus the fact he says he wants to stay as he loves playing under Paolo and he can see the club really progressing under him.

With all due respect to Bournemouth you are a smaller club than us and we will soon be overtaking you. Ok you've got your Russian guy come in with some money but how long for as he could be another dodgy guy as Pompey had especially if he is a friend of your chairman.So muppet when did Ritchie refuse a new contract thats news to me as he still has two years left on this one.So just to put your nonsense rumour into context your manager says he wants one stiker in this window so that counts Ritchie out plus contract talks havent even been discussed with Ritchie so again total nonsense story and STFC have already stated he wont go for less than 1.5 - 2 m and Bournemouth wont pay that.Dream on mate 500k would not buy his bootsNo-one will pay that cos he's not worth that much.Then he will stay and see out his contract, because thats how much he is worth to us...

Two days before it was officially announced that we were in liquidation. A huge ship called the Amaryllis was in dock in Gun Wharf Quay. That shipped was owned by Billionaire Karl Albrecht the 12th Richest man in the world.

He already owns a sports club in America (Although not sure if it is American Football or "soccer").

Somehow I can't see his visit was to enjoy the festivities of Gun Wharf Quays.(4)(12)German boat builders Abeking & Rasmussen for a cost in excess of �100million and has been undergoing sea trials since SeptemberTheres no docks in GunwharfSo we'll be playing with Aldi on our shirts will we ? somehow can't see it.Yeah on board was olive oyl popeye and plutoSoory but that ship was actually in Edinburgh docked at Ocean Terminal (i even have a pic) and it is available for rent so not owned

Andrew Andronikou, who is quite open about his role, has stated again that Portsmouth are in talks with more than one potential future owner. He is keen to secure a long term future for the club including investement in a new stadium and state of the art training faclities.(9)(7)Are they planning on doing an MK Dons then a bu99ering off somewhere else?!The funniest thing ive read all year...100m for a stadium,20m,for the training ground,30m to service the debts etc etc....How are they going to make there money back?? There not, so unless its a PFC supporter this is pure fantasy... Ive heard the deal that was 48hrs away last tuesday has collasped...The above post is wide of the mark. When the debts are paid the ground and surround will be redeveloped at a significant profit. Much needed student accomodation will be part of the new development, among other regegeneration projects. A new ground coupled with training facilities will be developed concurrently including hotel and conference facilities. The club's new owners will also set out to provide a sports science academy.If there was so much profit in building a new ground and developing the surrounding area why has none of the previous owners done it?? Im a property developer and there is certainly no profit in spending 80-100m on a new ground and hopeing student accomadation and a few flats will make you a return,it wont...The land at fratton isnt big enough for anything like whats needed to interest any savy investor unless you knoch FP down and that isnt going to happen or is it?Yes, well read. The entire historical parcel of land including will be redeveloped including Fratton Park. It will not be a few flats but hundreds of attractive student lets in a block. plus other regeneration projects. One part at least will ne a run by a Community Interest Company. The new ground will outside the city one of two sites. This will faciltate ease of access to much larger away support contingents in the future. The sports science college will emerge here also. The new traing facility will be on the West in a country area requiring change of useage.

Norwich City have enquired about signing arsenal keeper luis fabianski on loan until the end of the season(9)(16)Good loan for norwich if it happens.Why would they want him? They have Ruddy, who has been linked with an England call up, and is better than Fabianski, and Rudd as backup who has played England Under 21 and is a good prospect. What a load of bcks.Isn't he called Lukasz?Rumour? fairytale more like, they already have two loan players and goalkeeper back up in two young England U21 & U19 internationals, plus we have our quota of 2 loans.

09 Jan 2012 16:51:56

Ipswich Town will pay Norwich City £500,000 for in-form striker Aaron Wilbraham(8)(16)That would be more like 100K, he has had less than 60 minutes on pitch this season in premier and I am sure if Lambert gets another striker in , he will be allowed to leave.I'm not arguing with the fact of Wilbraham leaving. But 500k? Well if anyway is stupid enough to pay that much for him it would be 1p5wich! Hope they do sign him, can only help them get relegated really! Poor player is WilbrahimovicNot sure your opinion of Wilbraham being a poor player is fair, he Joined Norwich as a back up to Holt at a diff level of football, and then we signed Morrison, who has kept Holt out of the team sometimes this season, so he has not had much of a chance to show his worth.He's not worth �500, never mind �500k, I'd be surprised if he wasn't allowed to leave on a free if anyone would take him.

Portsmouth are looking to sign Norwich City defender elliott ward on loan until the end of the season(12)(10)Been injured for so long its possible he'll go for couple months for matches, but no way for the season. he's still our best centre half when he's fit!Best centre half when he's fit? What have you been watching? Everyone I have spoken to, plus me, think he is our weakest central defender. So unreliable, and extremely slow. Offload him as soon as possible I sayPompey cant afford the wages of there players ATM let alone for him that's why it's cash only at fratton park to pay there wages up front lmaoPossible for a month loan to get him match fit after long injury lay off, but doubt Lambert will let him go permanently until season end, we had 3 CB's injured earlier in season, so doubt Lambert will sanction loan till season end.Not going to happen, one of our best centre backs!

Manchester United have made a bid to sign Ki from Celtic to bolster the central midfield, the offer is in the region of 7.5 million, Celtic have already turned down a bid of 6 million of Villa for the player just named Korean Player of the year(14)(25)Ki is worth a lot more than being offered, Celtic turned down 8 mill in the summer, and since becoming korean player of the year, try making an offer upwards of 10 mill plus, who do these EPL clubs think they are trying to get players on the cheap,Not a bad player would be a snip at that priceOverrated 2 mill playerWake up ,turned down 8 mil ,lawell wouldnt knock that back ,yet more deluded celtic fans dreamingCeltic have not turned down an offer from villa of any note, get your facts right please!Both rumours are utter tripeAlex Mc Leish has said it himself that they cant afford him

09 Jan 2012 16:44:44

Jay Rodriguez will go to fulham FACT!!(6)(22)Its only a fact if it has already happened, I think you will find he is on Norwich's radar as well.Must be true,use of the word 'Fact'I still think he's going to southamptonWould never happen! Why would Jol buy a player who hardly scores in the championship & take him to PL?No he wont fact

Bournemouth will sign Freddie Eastwood this week in a deal of £190,000 + Warren Cummings. Cummings will join Coventry as left back cover and will bring more experience

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bournemouth cant afford 190,000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

seeing as how they have new rich russian owners, i think they probably can(9)(8)Freddie Eastwood can leave Coventry for nothing. Coventry told him to find a new club.They are not spending money so not that rich.Its common knowledge eastwood isnt fit and its also common knowledge that he can go for free as we just want him off the books..Bournemouth fans are like Saints fans they think they are going to buy everyone up as they have a dodgy Russian owner with some oil money.I'd heard it was Macdonald at Cov they were looking at, not Eastwood.We are considerably richer than yoooooooow!! E I E I E I O, up the football league we go! Dean court is buzzing :)

09 Jan 2012 16:39:37

Blackpool to sign el hadji diouf if phillips goes to Liverpool(8)(29)Diouf has signed a 18-month contract with doncaster so this is unlikely.Phillips going to Liverpool !! Wake up and return to the world of reality. He's almost 40 years old. What a load of tosh. {Ed001's Note - Matty Phillips, not Kevin!}Matt Phillips numpty, what an idiot. He's closer to 10 years old than he is 40. Quite a way off.What divs we get on here.

philips is not going anywhere chairman and manager have said,but maybe come the summer, if he goes to lpool would no doubt see a player come t other way as is the good relationship between clubs.

I think hes 1 of the best prospects ive seen at bpool for years, including sinclair,stewart,adam etc.

liverpool looking again to test ajax's resolve again in january with a £25million deal for cristian eriksen who is keen to link up again with suarez and international collegue daniel agger straight £25million cash or dirk kuyt and £12.5million(23)(18)U think kuyt worth 12 dream onAgger hardly plays and Suarez will be gone in the summer so when would he get to play with them plus he has turned down europes biggest clubs he's a winner not a mid table player so stick with donkey Adam and heavy HendersonEriksen wishes to move to a club with Champions League. Liverpool have very little chance of signing him.Agger has played almost every game this season idiot. Suarez loves the club, wouldn't leave unless a massive offer was accepted by Barca and only Barca. He came from Ajax who haven't set the world alight in the last few yrs and has said he believes in the LFC plans for the future.What a heap of made up rubbish.....Liverpool again.Eriksen has his pick of teams i doubt he will choose Liverpool, stick with the Downings and Hendersons of the world and leave the top players for the champs league teams.

Also i doubt Ajax fans would want a Feyanoord old boy in exchange for their golden childWhy not pick liverpool. Eriksen want too play, and if he picked Man city it would never happen. chelsea not that much. the only big clubs in the league who use the youngsters most, is liverpool and man utd.No way dirk will leaveSuarez to Arsenal for 25 mil. Clause in contract which they will meet.

and just signed a new contractOut of favour,he is back in the first team squad,u dont know much do u

09 Jan 2012 16:11:15

Snodgrass to join up with ex colleague at Norwich, 1.5mil(19)(17)I'm sure no-one would want to join up with Bradley 'Judas' Johnson. And it will take a bid of five times that amount to even open negotiations. You should check your facts.

wallyPrem has gone to your head, your still a small clubGive it up sad small Norwich,he don't even get on with bj.Now I know most Yorkshire folk a not the sharpest tools in the box, So lets try and keep this to works of less than three sylabuls. YOU ARE A VERY SMALL CLUB WHO ARE LIVING ON THE HISTORY OF DAYS LONG GONE BY.Ward is injured and we need strength in the backline so why would we loan himYeah we havnt got the money for him in january, wont happen indeed.

but small? cmon. sorry whats ur average attendance this year? let me enlighten you. 23,700. we're not a big club, sure. but our crowds average/season has been in the top 15 for years now (13th so far this yr) and its only going one way. look it up before shouting abuse, defo not a "small" club.I don't get all you Leeds fans. Yes your history is better, and you are a more well-known club around the world. But the situation is, Norwich are a premiership club, Leeds are championship, and it will be this way next season aswell. So if Norwich came in for him and had a bid accepted, I have no doubt Snodgrass would leave.The fact of the matter is, yes you may be bigger, in the way that around the world you are more well known, and that you have won more than us. But we are a premiership club, and will be next year, you are a championship club, and will be next year.Now I know most Yorkshire folk a not the sharpest tools in the box, So lets try and keep this to works of less than three sylabuls. YOU ARE A VERY SMALL CLUB WHO ARE LIVING ON THE HISTORY OF DAYS LONG GONE BY.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When knocking aforementioned Yorkshire folks lack of intellect it would help if you manage to spell your comments correctly you massive tool!

Either way this rumours nonsense!To the guy insulting "Yorkshire Folk".

The word you were looking for is WORD not work and it's also syllable.

Oh and history is three syllables his-to-ry.

Keep it up. You're really portraying all Norwich fans in a positive light and really educating us Yorkshire folk.

Snodgrass would cost anything from 3 - 8 mill by the way.Snodgrass woudl easily choose a contract offer from Norwich over one from Leeds. But don't agree with the fee though, Bates would never accept that. Considering we can get him on a free in the summer, i don't think we should pay any more than 2.5-3 million if we do sign him this month8 million? He has 6 months left on his contract, no club would pay that. But knowing Bates that's what he probably wants, even though he'll be joining us on a free at the end of the season. OTBC!He signed a 4 year contract in Aug 2009. I think you'll find that his contract will end in 2013.

3 - 8 mill and you can have him.Guys, I am a Norwich fan, and while I agree he will not leave for �1.5M, he will almost certainly leave at season end if not before, will he eventually come to Norwich who knows?, But Lambert is keen on him.

But before you start on the educational prowess of Norfolk Folk, please consider toning down your responses then you will find others respond in kind. The site is meant to allow rumours to be posted in a general forum, not to trade cheap insults about each other's club, after all we all clearly love football that's why we use the site....I think the original post about him joining up with ex-colleagues, is referring to him joining up with hoolahan and Paul Lambert.

the 3 of them were together at Livingston.

09 Jan 2012 16:03:12

hey ed ... i keep hearing about torres putting transfer request in , firstly have you heard anything and secondly , he supposed to only want to come back to anfield or athletico which makes me suspicious over the rumours as he could go and may want to go to a bigger spanish club and not just move for sentiment ... anything on the grapevine ...cheers {Ed001's Note - it's just rubbish.}(4)(12)

Cheeky bids to test the water anticipated.(9)(4)I like the look of Humphrey, not helped at Motherwell buy the useless Striker they have there, if he finds a club who move the ball quickly, it will suit his game, Forest or Leicester would be a great move for him.They can take him he's rubbish anyway!

Manchester united to get sneijder in a swap with nani .(12)(39)Not true. Sneijder will not be leaving Inter Milan while they are in the Champions League. A possible exit could come in the summer if Inter are still struggling.Rubbish !Not a man u fan ok

but this is rubbish why would united get rid of there best wing.Best winger obviously you dont watch utd and dont watch him playing he is crap the balls he sends over are sh-t even rooney thinks so valenciar gives the best crossesClearly you dont watch football or nani play. he is the best winger at the club and has been the best player this season. okay he hasn't been great the past 3 games, but name a utd player who has!His crossing is not great but his general wing play is Good and yes i would agree he is your best winger. and fyi his crossing he was uniteds (and i think the leagues) top assists last season

Aston Villa have now joined the race for Gary Hooper of Celtic after a possible snag with insurance for loan move of Robbie Keane. Mcleish has told coaching staff around the club they need a ''fox in the box'' to which Hooper certainly is the best out there under 10 million.

Expect a bid to match Southampton's (not yet formerly bid but will happen in coming days) and again as stated earlier watch some movement from Sunderland.(2)(21)Fox in the box ha ha,far to slow for eplUnder 10m..., says who exactly?

cos i guarantee celts wont sell for anything less than 10mSurely Darren Bent qualifies as a fox in the box type of striker?

We don't need any rubbish from north of the border thankyou!I think you will find your captain came from north of the border, clown!

Arsenal and Liverpool are favorites to sign Nathan Redmond from Birmingham City a fee around £7 million.

Birmingham are willing to cash in on England under 21 goalkeeper Jack Butland but want upwards of £3 million. If they fail to get a buyer they will allow him to return on loan to Cheltenham Town to gain more experience before making him 1st choice next season.(4)(15)Redmond is a Villa fan and wants to join them but birmingham have also asked for 17 million and Jack Butland also wants to join cheltenham on loan utv and utcNathan Redmond is a Birmingham city fan.

Bcfc have put a �10 million price tag so your wrong on both accounts.

Hi Ed. Do you see any truth to the rumor that Alonso Is coming back to Liverpool and maxi and kuyt are on the way out? {Ed001's Note - no, yes and yes.}(10)(11)Xabi Alonso is happy at Real Madrid and has no intention of leaving this season although that could change if Real lose the league. Kuyt could be out of the door providing Liverpool find a suitable replacement. Ivica Olic's name has come up on more than one occasion since the Bayern man is out of favour and is looking for first team opportunities. however if Liverpool are to make the move, they would have to stump up 7-15m and also face a battle with Lazio for his signature - ATYes and if he does leave Real Madrid because they don't win the league he is going to go back to Liverpool because they have a great chance of winning the league and also being in the champions league next year haha!

09 Jan 2012 15:28:21

Gary Hooper

Martin O'neil has expressed his interest in the 23 year old Celtic striker and has been forced to bring forward his meeting regarding the player after learning of Southampton's aggressive move for him. A bid has not been made yet for Hooper but expect one in coming 2 days in the region of 6.5 million for the south coast side.Sundeland will feel they have the edge wages wise in a possible battle for his services but Gary is keen to move closer to his family if he leaves Parkhead.

Celtic are secretly welcoming a big money move for their hitman , but PR wise will continue to say he is not for sale and try and pin it on Hooper wanting to leave which he doesn't....just wants a new contract in line with the high earners in squad.(7)(17)Hoopers valuation should be around 10 mill plus, if Rangers value Jelavic at 9-10 mill, then Hooper is roughly the same value or more as he is a better all round player

once again, rubbish english clubs with no chance of winning anything or even playing in europe, trying to get players on the cheapCortesse is too shrewd to part with that sort of cash for that particular player.....Hooperman will stay celt 100%What a lot of mince!Total rubbish in one way he wants to be nearer his family and then you say he doesn't want to leave which one is it?I don't even think there are any players in Scotland even worth anywhere near 9-10mill?! Nobody North of the border can compare quality in SPL to EPL? Eg. David Healy & Anthony Stokes couldn't even get a game for SAFC reserves, yet they start every week for Rangers & Celtic! Enough said.What is southsmptons aggressive move if they have not even bid yet!! Not exactly aggressive!!

Also, �10 million! You having a laugh? He is a player from the Scottish prem! He came from league 1, where players like sharp and fryatt had a better record. Sharp is going to Leicester for �3 million and fryatt is joe average at Hull and worth barely a �1 million fee!

Just because he has played for Celtic it doesn't mean he automatically commands a big fee! Put it this way, Boyd and McDonald scored goals for fun in Scotland but in the championship were both average to rubbish!Answer to all your replies.... Hooper would be sold for 7 million and that really is good business for Celtic...Martin O'neill has been researching and scouting Hooper for last 3 weeks...I stated that if Gary was leave Celtic he would rather be nearer his family . Celtic have refused all contract negotions over last 3 weeks with the player ...that isn't something you do to keep a prolific striker on a contract far inferior to 4-5 of the other team players.

Arthur4m absolute tops!! Bar the Old Firm the rest of the SPL is the equivalent in quality to League One in England. That's not a dig, just a fact. Any more than 4m then we're better off bidding for Rodrigues from Burnley, The Duke from Coventry or looking outside of Britain.More BS....give it up you lot, hooper's going nowhere this window, and certainly not for less than 10m. like it or lump it, thats the price you're going to have to pay.Hooper has played and scored in european competition, think this is a step up from the championship, so would be worth more than the Sharps and Fryatts you mention...Oh, i forgot to add, he had a better scoring record than your 35m tattie Carroll, and if i'm not mistaking, both played in the same division at the same time, carroll has got even worse, whereas hoopers game has improved immensely, so shove your pathetic valuations up yer jacksie10 Jan 2012 08:57:24

Sorry saints fans, done deal! You lot all speak about the players that you are going to sign on here, Leicester actually go and get them!I dont think we ever made a move for him this jan. He made it clear he wasn't gonna move south in the summer.Jo? he's happily playing in brazil isn't he? why on earth would he go to doncaster? he'd easily get in half of premiership clubs...

It is not known whether Mcleish is willing to sell his star player.(8)(13)Isnt he injured?Star player? good one. He's out of contract in the summer, take him he's yours.Heskey and ideal goal scoring shouldnt be used in the same sentence"star player" is that a joke?Doyle and ebanks blake are so much better than Heskey, if he was villa's star player he'd be worth like �20m upwards you fool!You silly steptoe

"As part of the Scout team at West Brom, i have heard about the Comings And Goings. Most Players are happy at WBA at the moment so they will not be many departs but Roman Bednar will leave for Brighton for a fee around £1mill, and Billy Jones also Departing too the Championship with Doncaster. West Brom will make a few bids, Hodgson will delve into the market and make a 2Mill bid for Jason Puncheon, followed by trying to gain a loan deal for Owen Hargreaves and Frimpong. they will also make a sneaky bid for newcastles james perch and Rangers Kyle Lafferty. Overall they are only willing to spend £9Million"

Who is the pathetic little boy who really thinks we believe he is a member of WBA scouting network? If you really were, do you have any idea how counter-productive it would be detailing transfer targets on a rumour website? You an absolute plonker and a compulsive liar who makes a mockery of this site. You're not a scout, people who scout for premiership clubs dont sit in there parents spare room revealing supposed transfer dealings, which by the way are clearly Bs because frimpong has signed elsewhere. I worry about people like you because you clearly have mental health problems and feel the need to inflict your own fantasies on other members of society.(16)(7)I am a scout, but not the guy above! Also, I do not scout for any prem teams... :(Bit Harsh !TBH I am a Wolves fan and when I see deluded stuff like this it is easy to tell who wrote this also the baggies do similar things , just a wind up really.

i think liverpool have a better chance of signing hoilett as his agent said that he would fit in better here as there is more playing time in here (no left wing downings better on right) spurs have bale dos santos and modric that would makethe cut over him. personally hes right.

as well ""rumour"" has it we have put in a bid that was accepted for him and we are doing a medical,, rumour bid was 5 mil plus add ons or 7 mil... once again this last part was rumour(7)(13)Dos santos will be leaving spurs and reports are that hoilett fancy a spurs move more than his agent fancys a liverpool move...at the momentThere are a number of Blackburn players who have "get-out" clauses in the event of relegation. Hoilett is one of them. Yakubu is another. {Ed001's Note - Hoilett's contract is up in the summer anyway.}He wont even be a reg in the lpool squad and he knows it he signe for a smaller club for regular footyDo your research mate, modric isn't a winger he just played there a few times 2 years ago, dos santos is most definitely leaving and persides he's a right winger come forward, you could have atleast said lennon, bale, rose, townsend, pienear, kranjkar and van der vaart CAN all play that position...^^ came here to say the same.

Nathan Redmond is at Man City's training ground and he is to sign by the weekend for £15m from Birmingham City.(7)(25)What a rip off, I got him for 2.8 mil on FM!Why would anyone pay 15M for this player.

he looks like a half decent prospect but that is it, would pay a max of 3M for him.

He has pace but doesnt know when to pass the ball, tries and tries to take on to many defenders and most of his passes are not completed and most of all he is always out of position.

he needs a good 2 years before the likes of a PL club would pay that amount, but he must improve on the above that I have mentioned to stand a chance.Rubbish.

Think Owens a non starter though.Cant see the owen thing.

Liverpool have agreed a fee with both Real Madrid and Barcelona for the return of Xabi Alonso & Javier Mascherano.

Commolli has been in spain and met representititves over the last 3 days. The deal is meant to be worth £40 million for them both with maxi rodriguez going back to atletico madrid to raise some funds. They are offerering around £6 million for the argentinian international.(12)(37)Again, Alonso has no intentions to leave Real Madrid as they continue to close the gap on Barcelona. Javier Mascherano has been monitored by other clubs in recent months but it is very unlikely that Barcelona will sell without buying a viable replacement as his departure would leave them light in that area. I haven't heard anything about Maxi Rodriguez but Atletico Madrid are close to signing a deal for the return of Reyes. As far as I know, he is the only returning player AM are looking at. - ATHAHA I'd love Alonso back considering he's nominated for the best player in the world along with Messi and Ronaldo. He ain't going NOWHERE!It's Xavi Hernandez that's nominated for the ballon d'or, not Xabi alonso. And neither would move to Liverpool from their respective clubs. Ever.Alonso is a key player for Madrid this is never gonna happen son! he is arguable more important than Ronaldo as there is no1 that can replace him where as there are a mass of attackers (not at Ronaldo's level obviously but that would bag alot of goals)No need of macheranoSorry girls to disapoint you but a spanish paper with strong conections to real have conformed alonso is being edged out and he would love to play in england again maybe chelsea city or would he return to anfield -dont think they av that money about but you never know.

Harry Redknapp is naive to Tomkins' ability and therefore too stubborn to pay the amount Allardyce will want for him. Therefore no such deal will take place.Fairly certain Rhodes will be leaving Huddersfield, but not to West Ham. He'll be in the Premiership come February, probably with either QPR, Norwich or Swansea.Naive to tomkins ability? typicial bloody west ham fan.. just because he's a player and he's decent it doesn't mean he's amazing i think redknapp a PROFESSIONAL football manager with trained scouts will know better than you...Rhodes to Norwich for me if he goes anywhere hope not but pilks went there and clarky would probably rather him go to norwich - ed u know any replacements for jord? {Ed001's Note - I don't think he will be going, but I know Huddersfield have an interest in Vardy in case he does.}West ham are the only team to put in a bid for rhodes

United will look to bolster their attack by making a bid for German superstar 'Mario Gotze' with the deal thought to be worth around £43 million(8)(25)As were Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Juventus, that is until Gotze said he loved Dortmund and didnt want to leave, before extending his contract till the end of 2014. So I really don't like your chances there.Highly unlikely since Mario has already agreed to fulfil his contract with Dortmund until 2013 with an option to extend by a year some time soon. A lot of young German players are doing their best not to move abroad pending the outcome of the Euro 2012 competition. If Germany win, there's every chance the DFB will want to shield the league's best young Germans from foreign clubs prying eyes. Furthermore, the signing of Marco Reus from Gladbach signals intent from Dortmund. They are not a selling club and other BuLi sides have sat up and taken notice. It's going to be very difficult for clubs to pry away talent from Germany now. - ATThe glasers are skint youve no chance in 5 years youll be were liverpool are or have been or were glasgow rangers are close to being please wake up and small the coffee

Jelavic will move for £8/9mil. Broadfoot for

pennies really, we will bring in HOPEFULLY,

Sandaza £400,000, Russell £500,000, and a

top drawer european striker like Jelavic for the

same £4M he cost, then the funds left can help

money problems.(9)(29)I wish but thats not happening...i will pay for broadfoot to go anywhere and drive him there myself...even let him in the front seat if hes luckyCant see any big signings at ibrox. �1m deals may happen but nothing ig until the tax case is heard. also see company suspended from trading on the stock exchange. not looking good.Lmao......Rangers getting 4m to spend on a striker. Read the news, the club is bankrupt, little of any of the �5-�6.5m that Jelavic goes for will be spent on players......Lmao......Rangers getting 4m to spend on a striker. Read the news, the club is bankrupt, little of any of the �5-�6.5m that Jelavic goes for will be spent on players......There is no chance of getting 8/9 million for Jelevic. Interested parties have baulked at the asking price, no offers on the table at present. Maybe towards the end of the window when clubs get desperate Rangers can screw a few more quid out of interested parties but i cant see a fee being more than 6/7 million. There are also suggestions that Rapid Vienna also have a 30% sell on clause so no money to spend even if he does go!

Lets face it, Jelevic is off form and clubs want players bang in form in the January Window. 7 goals this season(not counting penalties) is hardly setting the SPL alight!

You are right about Broadfoot - Pennies!

About 700K for Edu is about right tooThis Broadfoot rumour won't go away. Just hope he goes to Leeds and not to Ashton Gate - We don't want him either.Russell for �500K? I very much doubt it. When are Rangers fans goning to realise that they can no longer force Scottish clubs into selling their best prospects for pennies when they can sell them to lower league English clubs for more money? Get a grip, lad!Il tell you right now Rapid Vienna DONT have a 30% sell on clauseTake a lot more than the change of that to sort rangers money problems, may sell the stadium!Sandaza is the only player to be linked with Rangers so far in the current transfer window.Source SSN�500,000 for Johnny Russell - who are you kidding blue boy? Away to your room where you and your Action Man can dream some more. IF Russell goes anywhere it will be down south - both for money and real career prospects. The days of young naive Scottish footballers being duped into thinking that signing for Rangers is in any way going to strengthen their reputation are, thankfully, well and truly over. By the way, big man, youse have been banned from trading - Happy New Year!

Norwich about to make rys williams ist signing this window a fee of 2 half million.(9)(10)Waste of moneyIf half of the rumors about Norwich transfers were true they would have signed half of the players in the championship by now.^Haha. I'm a Norwich fan, and we do seem to be the team that everyone decides to make up rumours about. Lambert hasn't even given any idea of any players he's interested in.

Noone to Cardiff ? Well, if they table a figure around the £1,500,000 mark maybe. However Noone loves it at Brighton, Brighton don't need the money and frankly, have Cardiff got that sort of money ? Cardiff might have a few more points currently but they are likely to struggle in the doubtful event of them getting promoted unless they get a large injection of cash to offset their current debts. Brighton on the other hand are very solvent, due to incrase their capacity by 30% in the close season and not having any debts thanks to Tony Bloom.

Cardiff would be at the very best, a step sideways.(7)(13)You know nothing of cardiff's finances ...and why are they likely to struggle...the malaysians have paid off quite a bit of debt and PMG have converted 6million into shares...dont speculate ...NOONE WILL BE OURS

AND IT IS DEFINITLEY AN UPWARD STEP...FA CUP fINALISTS 2008 SEMI FINALSTS LEAGUE CUP 20102...2PTS OFF TOP.....A step sideways? Cardiff are challenging for promotion, and unless Poyet stops trying to force players who clearly aren't good enough to play like Barcelona, to attempt to play like Barcelona then Brighton may well get relegatedI can see Noone coming to Cardiff personally, in exchange for another player and moneyCardiff are owned by two malaysians one being vincent tan worth an estimated 1.2 billion and dato chan worth 700 mil havent got money , obviously not . on a good note where heading upwards are your clearly heading the other way . hell when we beat palace this week we only need to get man city in the final win or lose to guarentee a uefa cup spot , step sideways i think not .Cardiff are backed by a multi billionaire so we are so much better off than solvent

Madine to Huddersfield from Sheffield Wednesday to Huddersfield quoting Ive always wanted to play for a massive club like Huddersfield (11)(19)Really?? he wants to go from playing infront of 18-20k+ fans every week to struggling to get 14k??? massive club yeah, that why they have never been in the premiership and sepnt the last 6 years or so in the same division!I think you will find Wednesday are a bigger club than HuddersfieldYea of course he did.no one could ever call hudders anything but a small club in a small town.I'm a blade so hate to say it but, Wednesday are a much bigger club than huddesfield will ever be.

So dream on..My quotes were totally mis-interpreted. I actually said that SWFC are MASSIVE and that Huddersfield are a tin pot club with no fans.My quotes were totally mis-interpreted. I actually said that SWFC are MASSIVE and that Huddersfield are a tin pot club with no fans.Im not a wednesday fan or huddersfield fan but wednesday are a much bigger club.Madine wouldnt even get in the team at huddersfield. might not been in prem league but been in top division for more seasons won the first division more time, got more money than you, and if we're so bad how cum swfc chasing our player ( roberts) take him he's league 1 level only. which is where ur staying,dint we do the double on u last season, score 4 at hillboro this season,will see whos small when we playing championship nxt season with the blades! see u in april wen we wallop u and seal automatic! tired of u swfc fans still talking about a couple of seasons in prem league where you got hammered every weekJust 6 yrs in L1!!

Bournemouth will sign Freddie Eastwood this week in a deal of £190,000 + Warren Cummings. Cummings will join Coventry as left back cover and will bring more experience(15)(5)Bournemouth cant afford 190,000The new billionaire owner might disagree with you there. They can probably afford quite a few �190,000 players now!The poster that says Bournemouth can't afford �190,000 needs to do their homework.

But it's not Eastwood anyway.

Junior Hoillet to Stoke for 8m and Pennant going the other way.

Upson to leave due to lack of first team football.

Kenwyne Jones to Wolves and Fletcher/doyle coming the other way.(10)(12)Fletchers next move will certainly not to be a poor team like stoke...they r too small time for a flying scotsmanUpson knows hes back up, Jones nor pennant aren't going anywhere and hoilett will go to Liverpool or spurs, stoke will only sign Michael uchebo and possibly Jimmy kebeAnd wolves the championship ping pong side arent"poor team" ?

You mean financially, or football wise ??

either way, you're full of st...lol

Financially - Owned by Peter Coates and his family - who also own a little company you might have seen during the ads on, well, pretty much EVERY top flight football match shown in the UK.. BET365 anyone ??

Football wise: 8th in prem, 4th season where we're consistently improving, Knockout stages of Europa League, last season's FA Cup finallists....

How does the song go ??

"We're going Valencia, you're going to Peterborough....."
