I'll start it off, fire away please, the most obscure to the most likely, even Spurs may sign someone decent...


Glen Johnson to Liverpool looks like happening, thoughts?

Ronaldo to Real for £80Million

You heard it here first!

EDIT:

Damn it!, just seen the story has already broke!

Thoughts... Glen Johnson being 'worth' 19m makes me feel sick. I can't wait for football to implode.

It already has in some areas.

 ;scarymoment;

Whats the Leicester Rumours Tighty?

Newcastle rumours please Rooky...

Johnson is a good player that needs to be made to feel special, hence he blossomed at Pompey because he was first choice and grew in confidence, he wont do well in a team where he has serious competition for his spot.

Simon Cox has been on-off for a month. Suggestion is that Mowbray is a big admirer, wanted him at WBA, and he'll now go to Celtic

N'Guessan from Lincoln

Loans of Ryan McGivern from Man C, Tom Cleverly from Man U again, Stockdale from Fulham

thoughts of GK Ross Turnbull from Middlesborugh






elsewhere I gather that the Deco/Carvalho to inter stuff is live, but Chelsea want a swap getting Ibrahamovic

Tevez to Man C on megawages

Bentley to Villa

Dnaiel Sturridge to Chelsea

This was posted on the BBC forums about Johnson, albeit the slightly biased Liverpool board, I thought it made some sense...

''Don't knock Johnson. He is just what is needed for the following reasons:

1) UEFA requires us to have a certain number of English lads for the CL, and Johnson is hence perfect.
2) His game is getting better and better and I am sure he will grow into one of the best full-backs in the world within a couple of years.
3) He adds depth to what was previously our most short staffed area of the team.
4) He is a strong attacking full-back who will give us more dynamism in the flanks than Arbeloa.

Yes, I can accept that £17m for a right back seems a lot, especially given our current financial state, but take this as a sign that maybe the bank balance isn't as low as we first thought. Plus, Rafa has for too long had to settle for cheaper, stop-gap players like Josemi and Kromkamp because he wanted to pay a fair price. If it takes £17m to get the quality we need, then so be it.''

Factor in the fact that Pompey still owe Liverpool about 7 million from the Crouch transfer ...

He'll do well at Liverpool then

There are none, and can't really be any of remote truth until the club is sold. I think it's pretty telling that no one has been banging one the door for any of our players though!!

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes will make a bid for Portsmouth striker Peter Crouch if he is priced out of a move for Blackburn frontman Roque Santa Cruz.

If this is true I would be amazed ....

Touché. I think that the new Real Madrid president might have managed to extend any football downturn for an extra year on top of what it was going to take.

Anyone got a vaild NUS card? Quite fancy getting the deliotte football report again this year but at £600 compared to £60 with a card it's a little too steep!

Especially if we sell Arbeloa to help fund his signing.

Personally, I hope we sell Dossena and Lucas to help fund it.  Babel can go as well imo.

Nothing coming out of Burnley yet ... must be a few signings on the cards.

His England performances last week would have had a lot of managers reaching for the phone.

is that all of your transfer kitty spent now?

I don't think the cost will be anywhere near £17M.  We're stilled owed for Crouch, and with the wheeling and dealing, it'll probably be nearer £10M.

We should still have a little more to spend apparently.  £25M on Tevez would be good ;)

Not sure that Tevez is a good fit for you. Where would you use him, bearing in mind that if he moves it's for regular first team football?

Also not sure you have another £25M to spend, although who knew that Real had £140M and rising?

You cant get too caught up in the cash side of it though surely. You are owed 7m from Crouch, if you pay 10m and cancel the Crouch money it has still cost the club 17m. 

Stadium move must be well and truly on the backburner? The top four must now be operating with full CL money included in their plans. It will be very interesting if someone can break a place or two into those in the next two seasons - obviously its not that likely that they will, sadly. Credit to replace that loss in income doesn't seem to be there given their current loan problems it seems.

As stated on here we're owed 7 mil from Crouch and Dossena and Arbeloa are off making it very little from our budget being laid out if any. Degen will deputise when he gets fit.

Lucas to stay IMO - the young lad from Hansen did good in the second half of the season. Mmm bop. Babel to get one more year I think, mainly because Silva doesn't want to come to us - which is a shame lol.

I think it's pretty widely accepted among Pool fans that we're not on Tevez's list of team to go to as he had a good relationship with Man U fans.

Secondly Kia Joorabchian doesn't want payment over 5 years for Tevez like we've offered.

I think we still have money though. Recent financial reports would have been known to Rafa and the board long before this summer's budget was set. Also, after sales I think the £10-11m outlay for Johnson will be recouped.

owen coyle still in florida, nowt happening this week.

Freddie Sears turns down a season at Wednesday to go to Palace

If this really had anything to do without why would he go to city other than the 140k on offer ??

Fair one. I think paying £25m in one payment might help his agent/owners persuade him to go though. Also he wont have to move house! In fairness if he stays in England he's going to be hated at Pool, Citeh or Chelsea.

That aside I think he'll stay at Man U anyway, mainly as after Ronaldo's sale it'll be hard to justify not spending the £25 million they want. He'll get the games he wants now too.

We have signed an Exeter player (Matt Gill) and some Swansea reserve (Tudur Jones).

Hell at this rate we might avoid relegation, FML.

OTJ is a good footballer, but has had several bad knee injury's, would easily be playing top half championship football if fit and healthy...

Robhino to Barca on season loan

Where is this ?

I don't see him staying at man yoo,they should get villa instead.Tevez is hard working but he's bit overated imo

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_5385764,00.html

Unrelated, Drogba gets 6 match euro ban.

4game ban with 2 suspended,bosignwa got 3 game ban

Palace already got Darren Ambrose on a free.  Should also get Freddie Sears on season loan as stated previously, and also trying to sign Bradley Wright-Phillips from Southampton on a free.

They should but I cant see him leaving Spain. (I hope not too)

LOL ... this is a belter

Former Newcastle United boss Kevin Keegan could be set for a return to management at Southampton after being spotted holding a meeting with Saints legend Matt Le Tissier and former chairman Lee Crouch.

Funny transfer...   ;whistle;

Good point, I will move it to the fry up thread.

No 'spam' on there please. get it?

Catalonia, Spain.

Sigh

Chelsea have matched Liverpools offer
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,12040_5388201,0.html

Chelsea will presumably offer more wages, so I guess it depends how he was treated there, and if he wants to pastures old...

Competition for first team football vs Jose Bosingwa or Philip Degen (as I'm sure we're selling Arbeloa) - I know where I'd go.

The rumour is in the Liverpool store at the ground the option to have "Johnson TBA" on your shirt was available until 9:30pm last night.

All of this means he's off to Chelsea obv.

Tevez definitly leaving

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8110740.stm

Surely Real must be interested in Tevez?  Hard grafter with all the skill looks a match to me, guess he likes the Prem though...

Can't see tevez adding anything to more depth to real. Must be playing one through the middle with some really fluid 4-3-3 at real and I don't think tevez suits that that well.

Wow I'm shocked he's going.

He's not coming to us as he doesn't want to piss of the Utd fans but he's considering Chelsea and City? Money talks me thinks. I'm sure it's coz we offered £5mil per year over 5 years and not £25mil in one go as the others have.

Liked Tevez but I'm glad we didn't pay 25 mill for him- he's not worth that much.

Fergie has some work to do this summer

Glen Johnson agrees a deal for a transfer to Liverpool

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/8102625.stm

good return for pompey ... they are going down next season though, get on !!

Happy with the payer if not the price but I guess that's the going rate for an Englishman from one EPL club to another.

Sturridge to chelsea,going to be top class imo

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/8067000.stm

Ashton & Owen to Stoke!    ;sark;

Ronaldo
Tevez
Benzema
Ribery
Kaka
Villa
Casillas
Torres

All these players have been rumoured to have turned down offers from Man Utd this summer or have chosen to leave. What does it say for Man Utd that they cant attract a true world class player.

That real madrid are a bigger attraction

Sir Alex Ferguson has offered Manchester United's Portuguese winger Nani to Wigan as bait in his bid to sign Ecuador winger Antonio Valencia. (Daily Mirror)

Bait is a bit strong, he's not that good.

Do you think even if we didn't buy Valencia, Wigan might just keep Nani anyway ?

Man Utd Cant attract world class players?? They make world class players!!

Ok, Ronaldo, Beckham, Van Nistelrooy, Vidic, Evra, Cantona......nah, see what you mean, they're all average.


Are you for real?? Real can pretty much buy anyone and you think they'd go after Tevez? I dunno what player you've been watching! The guys good but on Real good. They're after signing Ronaldo, Kaka, going for Riberi, offloading Robben, after David Villa and you think Tevez should go there?

Kooo-Kooo back to West Ham i say

pompey to go down, run gd one time!!!

UTD in for Benzema but so are Real obv.
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5401990,00.html

True say - none of these were world class before being at Utd. You dont actually buy established world class stars. The exceptions were probably Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney both of whom are English.

NH Sir, you nearly had me there for a minute...

Blackburn are enquiring about Ruud V N,[ ] unfrotunatley though bigus is no longer around to give us his comments.

Why what did bigus do?, i was enjoying him mixing it up a bit

He was being an arse last night, tbf i dont know how he lasted so long.

I'd love Crouch to AC Milan to be true

Lyon have confirmed Benzema will join Real

Can we make a free 11? City have released 4, Pennant is out of contract and Owen is touting himself all over.
So we have Danny Mills, Vassell, Hamann, Michael Ball ,Pennant and Owen any more?

Any Charlton stories Gatso?  Seems all quiet?

llera's signed from franchise fc, hudson's gone to cardiff. strange days at the valley, those transfers have been known about for quite a while but only announced by the club in the last couple of days, all news of anything is being kept under wraps as long as possible as we're apparently going through due diligence on a new takeover bid

(http://www.sporyolu.com/images/stories/vassel5.jpg)
Where do i sign?

Ross Turnbull signs for Chelsea on a free.

Dalglish back at Anfield:

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N164946090703-1605.htm

here's the lot. a few useful players available

http://www.givemefootball.com/pfa-transfer-list?name=FullName&page=1

Do people think there is ANY chance of John Terry joining Man City.
These stories dont normally run this long without there being some substance, but i find it hard to believe that he would join them at the moment.
Wouldnt surprise me if he had an agreement to join them next summer if they make the Champions League though.

Saw SSN yesterday, Milan have offered £20m and Flamini for Adebayor.

The words hands, snap and off spring to mind.

Looks like Alonso might be staying at Liverpool after all, which would be excellent news.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/real-back-down-on-alonso-transfer-1736032.html

Not quite gallacticos but i've heard Nicky Bailey to Middlesbrough

Looks like they're going for De Rossi instead now.

What is all this betting on Ribery to Liverpool about? Surely we can't afford him, he wanted to join Barca, etc.

We'd have to lose either Mascherano or Alonso to help fund this, otherwise it's bonkers.

no idea, but Brent told me yesterday he went from 66/1 to 8/13 to join Liverpool. hmmm

lol it was on sky sports this morning, person from sky bet says they took 500 quid on him and it brought it down to that.

ahh, explains. Sure will be off to Liverpool then

yeah they were scared after being stung my the Owen transfer betting coup last week.

adebayor's brochure

http://www.oleole.com/media/main/podcasts/arsecast/ADE_BROCHURE.pdf

Ferguson on SSN says that is Man United's spending over! WTF!?!

BS imo, Fergie just trying to do 2 things.

1) If he fails to get anyone else, he will say that is happy with the current squad.

2) Sending out a signal to other selling clubs, that Man U won't be held to ransom as they are not desperate to add.

LOL, this was done by an Arsenal fanzine. He is apparently in talks with Man City about an overpriced transfer to them, I sure hope it falls through.

Hopefully we can offload Eboue aswell, there is still talk about him being part of the deal that brings Melo to Arsenal.

If we do manage to offload Adebayor I would love to see us go for Huntelaar but there is big talk of Chamakh from Bordeux.

The Adebayor deal is about £22m with wages of £170k per week lol city just LOL

Tevez didn't want to sign for Liverpool as he didn't want to upset the man u fans.  Wonder how they'll feel now he's signed a 5-year contract for Citeh.

A fantastic player, and I would have loved to see him at Liverpool.

Alonso wants out. I'm a bit gutted but cant blame the guy after the way he was treated last summer.

Still if we get £30m (or £20m and Negredo) for a guy who Juve and Arsenal wouldn't pay £16m for last summer then we're laughing if we can get Martinez or Camiasso as a replacement.

It seems to be the case that he wants to go, but I haven't seen anything new (with direct quotes) that suggests that there's any further evidence that he is actually going.

Paulo da Silva signs for Sunderland.

I think this is a great signing, solid no nonsense defender, would love him in my team. Don't know price tag yet

free

tevez to man city subject to medical and they're also in for adebayor.

How many forwards do Man city need? really I thought the problem with the team was the complete wank defense.

Maybe they've brought Keegan back and put him in charge of transfers?

Looks like Adebayor will be at Eastlands come the start of the season.

The team is looking stronger and stronger.  They're definitely going to be a force this season, and I'm sure they'll be at least challenging for a CL spot.

They're gonna have 4 top top strikers in santa cruz, tevez, adebayor and robinho cant see too many of these being happy on the bench! I think they need to sort the rest of the team out imo.

Ive never rated Downing, can't believe Villa will pay £12 mil for him, did he even score last season?

Ashley Young on his way?

Don't rate him either. Isn't he injured until December anyway?

I was looking forward to seeing Bellamy seethe for a season not even getting on the bench but it looks like Redknapp wants him. Benjani to Blackburn possibly that just leaves about 3 other strikers to offload.

Liam Dickinson to Brighton for 100k from Derby, what a right Donkey he is.

Hull agree £5m fee for Zomara from Fulham, jeez he has a poor scoring record, just shows you what £5m gets you!

Delph's move away from Leeds seems to be getting scuppered by Bates holding out for a prem player type transfer free of £7m+

Lol Brighton outbid Norwich to get Dickinson, we sure are going to compete in Division 3 ( i am not calling it league 1) this year.

Has the world gone mad?

Crouch £12m to Sunderland

Zamora £5m to Hull £5m £5m £5m!!!!

Downing £12m

I know its market forces, but this is a seriously distorted market bubble right now. If ever the TV deal went wrong there would be an awful lot of football clubs in crisis

I dont think this is a bad move. He's now been a proven EPL goalscorer for about 5 years (joint highest scoring Englishman last season?) and went to Pompey for 11 million not so long ago.

Bent being worth 16 million not once but twice would be hilarious.

I LOL'd when I read that Spurs had turned down a 14 million offer for Bent, saying "we want to recoup the 16.5 million we paid" ... dont be fucking stupid, take the 14 million and thank god imo.

strange thing for the club to come out with. I'm pretty sure 14m would represent a decent profit, you certainly didn't pay anywhere near 16.5, that was the max figure possible and his lack of appearances would've brought that down plus we gave you a big discount for early payment rather than the installments originally agreed

this

so in other words the 14mirrion bid never happened.

Yeah but they will probably take into account the 4-6m on wages they've paid him over the last 2 years.

Whats going on with Spurs so far this close season?

Normally they have signed 16 players and sold 22.

HOLY SHIT!

Am i the only guy that finds this even more redic that the recent Transfers thats been flying around:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8155593.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8155593.stm)

Ibrahimovic is so over rated and isn't even half the player Eto'o is, yet Barca are reported to be offering £35M + ETO'O (worth £25M) for him!

Thats about £60M in total for a lazy bastard like him!

I'm total stunned by this

inter have signed lucio too.

Eto/Ibrahimovic transfer is a joke

I would much rather have Eto. I wouldnt even do a straight swap let alone give them £££ too, also it seems Helb is part of the deal.

We have been linked with a bid for Huntelaar which I said I would love to see him at Arsenal about 2 pages ago in this thread. Real have denied we have made a bid though. Fuck Adebayor off and get Klaas, would be great business imo.

We alos need to sort out a DCM player

They must have just decided to forgo the usual selling all there players and buying them all back in the next transfer window.

I don't understand why they are signing the Sheffield United pair. Good players but you only need 1. Hutton could go to Everton if they both sign.

Agree 100%.

16.30 Swindon Town manager Danny Wilson has decided against offering trialists Cherno Samba and Scott Spencer contracts.

Give him a deal imo

absolute leg end on champ man

+1

Celtic have signed Coventry City left back Daniel Fox for £1.5m.

Anybody seen much of this fella?

A bargain. I expected him to go the premiership.

Really sweet left foot, he will score tons of goals from free kicks if he's given the chance.

I would have loved us to have bought him.

QPR rumoured to be getting DJ Campbell

This would suit us, he has fallen out with the manager and looked half hearted for 18 months. Might suit QPR too. DJ still lives in Hayes, likely to be happier playing locally and might, if he ever managres to stay onside, be good for 10-15 goals a season as he looked on loan at Blackpool last year

Welcome to the 'tic Cave.  ;D

I know your game Camel, read my answer on another thread, come here and steal the praise!!  :D

He's a QPR fan I think.

I like him as a player, but heard rumours about his personality and lack of work ethic. Which you seem to confirm. We desperately need a goalscorer.

Sounds promising, we haven't had a decent left back for years!

Damn, I've been rumbled.

He scored a great free kick against last season which must be available online somewhere, although i can't find it.

Looks like they've thrown in Hleb on loan as well (worth another 2-3m).

Why would you change that front 3 at Barca? Pep Guardiola needs shooting.

I think its partly to do with Eto'o getting near the end of his contract and wanting a big payday from a new deal, so Barca have to sell him before his value declines.

Yes but it's not like Barca don't have the money!

I wouldn't pay 40 million Euro for Ibra let alone giving away Eto'o and Hleb as well.

I'm not disagreeing about the Eto'o v Ibrahimovic part. I've yet to be convinced by him - though I've see people on other forums who are more into Italian footie than me who claim he really is that good.

In terms purely of the getting rid of Eto'o side, if he goes to them saying he wants £250k a week and Man City or Inter have agreed to pay it, but Barca "only" reckon he is worth say £140k a week, then with a year of his contract left they really need to punt him.

Imagine Barca did pay him £250k p/w, what happens when Messi's agent turns up at the chairmans door!? Even the biggest clubs have to draw a line somewhere.

Yeah financially it makes sense. I just don't know where you go after a perfect season in footballing terms.

If you cant improve that front 3 by adding Torres, Villa or Ribery then pay the man what he wants IMO. Although I guess with the financial reports surrounding Barca they might have had to get rid if his demands were that daft.

Crouch to Spurs

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8169170.stm

10 mill !!

That's a good buy for yoos lot. You should have had him when we sold him.

Would have been better to have kept him when he was with us years ago LOL

lol crouch

Kolo Toure to double his wages in Man City move. (Daily Mail)

Bad news for Liverpool:

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news/2009/07/30/liverpool-fc-s-xabi-alonso-hands-in-transfer-request-100252-24275822/

Hope we get the £30M for him.

I think 30m is a ridiculous price really, snap it up imo, as long as the monster masch stays, and actually 'wants' to stay, if he wants out too we need replacements, and fast...

We lose Mascherano as well and we won't be close to challenging for the title this season.  Someone asked who I'd rather lose if I had to chose one.  I went for Alonso, even though last season he was phenomenal for us.  I just think Mascherano is harder to replace and he's key to the stability in defence and the way Rafa wants to attack.  Not happy about losing Alonso though, and not sure who we're going to replace him with.  Even if we sign someone who is of similar quality, will they fit into the side quickly enough?

I was reading something that said Rafa needed Alonso in the side to provide the passes to the Houllier-side he'd inherited.  Now he's building a side that does what he wants, the 40-yard passes from Alonso are less important.  Not so sure about that myself, but if it's the case I'll bow down to Rafa's superior knowledge.

Good post, I agree of the 2 i'd prefer to see Alonso leave and obv i dont blame the lad for wanting to leave, he wasn't exactly treated well and owes us nothing IMO.Such a classy player though lifts his head as soon as he gets the ball and always looking forward none of this passing sidewards and backwards malarchy.I do think it will be easier to find a similar player to alonso if not quite as good, but Mascherano's don't grow on tree's he is such a beast , the bigger the game the bigger the performance from him. So please lets us keep Masch at least ,if not then it's a big big blow to our title challenge.Should be all very interesting anyway....I guess that lad Stevie G could prob do a job somewhere in the middle if neccessary!

Agree with them posts. I'd go for experience though. Cambiasso or Aquilani who have done it in the CL. Not Cattermole, who whilst English and potentially very good, just wont be good enough for right now.

Linked with Villa. Doubt it'll happen.

opinions from the scots on christian dailly as a signing for charlton please

obv class in his day but how is he in his old age? gonna do a job in league 1?

According to the Mirror Madrid are offering Huntelaar, Van der Vaart or Negredo as part of Alonso deal.Doubt that's true either.

I've been told by a very unreliable source that De Rossi will be the replacement not Aquilani.

Actually it wouldn't surprise me. They have 29 first team players and can only register 25 for the league. We dont want any of the above though.

I'd much rather that.

I like Aquilani as a player but he's so injury prone he's related to Harry Kewell.

he's not very good

oh dear hes pretty bad tbh

Huntelaar is class man!

huntelaar could become very good..not quite there yet but definitely very talented.

Please be true the guy is one of very few players in world football who can play the role well.

Agree but Benitez doesn't seem to want any Real players.

I'm guessing wages are the issue.

1204 BST: Liverpool have signed Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani for £15.3m. (Spanish newspaper Marca)

Bye bye Alonso, decent replacement by all accounts. Sad to see Alonso leave England though, I've always enjoyed watching him play.

Delph to Villa
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,12040_5470978,0.html

I've not got a clue about Alberto - a decent player by all accounts, but liable to break.  Sounds like Kewell/Owen.

i hope master bates spends the money on decent players :)

Exactly.

108 games in 6years - not good.

He should be well rested...

Bid for Alonso accepted and Real wanted a non-disclosure clause meaning they paid the full £30 million.

I would much rather Defour than anyone we're linked with but I'd prefer Aquilani over Poulsen.

Just read that.  Wonder how long it will stay 'undisclosed' for.

We're also meant to be interested in Poulsen from Juve?  Also talk of Lucas leaving to go to the Corinthians.

:dontask:

Sad day, was really hoping he'd have a change of heart. Were gonna miss him and Poulsen cannot do the same job as Alonso, he's a poorer version of Mascherano. I would love De Rossi but then again im not playing fm.

Lucas out! lol I dont mind him anymore to be honest his second half of last season was far better than the first half. I would actually give him a chance unless it was a good offer.

Defour>Aquilani>Poulson IMO.

Why not get Schneijder back in a deal for Alonso?..Surely 5mill would get you Schneijder these days.Real are desperate to offload him...and he's not on a ridic salary.

He's off to Inter for £18m odd apparently.

I'd love him at Anfield.

Alonso could well be madrids best singing this summer in terms of how important he'll be to the team,wp benitez trying to shove him out last summer for less money than barry who's not even close to alonso's level never understood it at the time and could now majorly cost liverpool in there title persuit

3 players to fill Alonso's void

Senna

Javi Martinez from Bilbao

or Defour from Standard Liege

Also a lot of players are now starting to play in the CL qualifiers which will make them cup tied.

Views on Bassong pls, esp Newcastle fans

ty

Will be a good deal for us imo if we get around 10-12million for him.That said the fact he came out of last season looking like a good player in that defence with that team i would guess he'll go onto to be a very good player

Would love Martinez

Bassong was our player of the season, though that in itself says nothing. He is as quick as anything out there, which helps him out when he dies make the odd mistake. He's comfortable on the ball too. About 100 times better than Dawson, 75% of a fully fit woodgate, but with time to improve. I think we might have got him for free, so if we make £10m on that it would have to be good business for both.

I'm looking forward to seeing Carl Cort play again, bug name signing for my
new 'team of second interest'.

He is working his way down the league at quite a pace, completely ineffectual for Norwich on a short term contract end of last season.

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N165312090805-1649.htm

Not surprising to see Everton trying to klingon to Lescott.

I heard Aston Villa are trying to buy JP Kelly.

;applause;

I have a feeling (but there again it may be wishful thinking) that there is about to be a big centre-back merry-go-round.

Lescott to citeh, Senderos to toffeeland, and Hangeland to the Grove.

Wow M.O'N signs an Irishman

Taking a big risk with signing a foreigner

I'm an awful centre half but i reckon in the current market i'm probably worth about 100k.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeee aberdeen sign grassi

no idea who he is but we signed him

tkae that man city and put it in your pipe and smoke it

Go for it. Gets to play in the Champions League!

Benjani was 6/1 earlier to move to Notts County today, down to 2/1 now...  Surely not?!

if he was anywhere but man city it'd be less strange, he's 31 and looking for a big final payday but surely that's what he got when he moved last year. maybe it's another one of those 5 year contracts?

Happy with Kranjcar signing .. also happy that we have kept Bentley for the time being ... really dont think we have seen the best from him yet  (apart from the goal against the @rse obv)

absolutely delighted with the end of the transfer window. turner's £12million transfer means we got a nice sell on fee so didn't have to sell any of our midfield and got to re sign sodje

Quality signing! shouldn't be anywhere near a team with as low a standard as Pompey!

Just like Tuncay, surely a top flight team could do with him?

He went to stoke didn't he ?

Tuncay signed for Stoke last week.

lol didn't realise

[X] proves my point!

[ ] Stoke will be a top flight team next season

I am happy to give you 2-1 on this for any amount you like.

Lol at sky dedicating a channel to transfer deadline day,then having dramatic footage of Big Ben as it approached 5pm lol gg

FYP

Getting 9.4 on Betfair guys

anyone up for 12/1?

Stoke did well last season, just a little concerned they seem to have bought in so many players. I think they will be close to being relegated for sure.

With their home form, their physical side and the general shit standard at the bottom of the EPL there is no ay Stoke will go down.
