note how i craftily got him into my fantasy team while he was still going cheap :$

hey, i wonder if bbc will spazz out cause i have 3 utd players :$

Saha won't cut it at Man Utd, similar to forlan who i have heard may be heading to fulham anyway

From bbc.co.uk

Fulham and Manchester United have denied Louis Saha's claims that a £9.8m move to Old Trafford has been agreed.
Saha insisted he would have a medical at Old Trafford on Tuesday before completing the protracted move.

But a Fulham spokesman told BBC Sport: "There has been no fresh bid, so no bid has been accepted and the player does not have permission to hold talks.

"This obviously means that suggestions that he will have a medical with Manchester United are nonsense."


United have also insisted no deal is imminent, leaving Saha again confused about his future.

Fulham have rejected an £8m offer, but Saha claimed in the Daily Mail: "I am very happy now that we are about to complete the deal.

Cottagers' boss Chris Coleman had even been linked with a move for Celtic's John Hartson as a potential replacement.

But it is clear that this latest speculation is simply another twist in an increasingly acrimonious saga.
Saha, who hopes a move will attract the attention of the France coach Jacques Santini, said: "I have wanted to go to United for a month and now I must prove I can play in the team there.

"This is a big step up in my career and I know that I will have to show that I'm good enough."

Coleman and Fulham owner Mohamed al Fayed have insisted they would not be forced into selling the forward who has inspired Fulham to the brink of a Champions League place this season.

"You just get that feeling that we're being bullied into selling one of our players, but I don't like bullies and I don't like to be bullied so that's why we're so determined to hang on to Louis Saha," said Coleman.

Canero to join Leicester

Scotland Under-21 winger Peter Canero will sign for Leicester on Thursday, with Kilmarnock fuming at the size of the transfer fee.
Killie had been pleased with an initial offer of £350,000 for the 22-year-old, who is out of contract in the summer.

But they were forced to accept £100,000 less once agent Raymond Sparkes became involved in negotiations.

Kille general manager Dave MacKinnon said: "Kilmarnock are not going to get as much money as we thought."

Canero had rejected Killie's offer of a new three-year deal and a 60% pay rise.

Instead, he travelled to Leicester with Sparkes for talks and a medical on Wednesday.

He is expected to take in his new club's FA Cup tie with Manchester City before signing the following morning.

"Kilmarnock and Leicester City have behaved impeccably, as has the player, who has acted professionally throughout," MacKinnon told the Daily Record.

"But, once other parties outwith those three entities became involved, the problems started."

However, MacKinnon was pleased that Kilmarnock will receive some money for a player they could lose for nothing at the end of the season.

"Peter will go down there to discuss terms and he'll take in the FA Cup replay with Manchester City," he said.

"Given the player's contractual situation, Kilmarnock are delighted with the offer we have had and hopefully the player and his agent will be able to negotiate a satisfactory package for Peter.

"I think it is a great move for him. But if Peter decides it is not for him at Leicester then he is more than welcome to come back to Kilmarnock and sign for us."

Heskey is apparently in talks with Middlesbrough.

I'm suprisingly, not happy about that

lol that player we're meant to be signing makes me smile.

Dunno if he's any good but his name sounds like canyonaro from the Simpsons.:$

:mad:

I could just not go on MSN i guess,but that pm for rep is enough please. :(

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has confirmed he wants to strike a deal to end Francis Jeffers' loan spell at Everton.
Jeffers returned to Goodison Park from Arsenal in August, but has yet to score and has been unable to force his way past Tomasz Radzinski and Wayne Rooney.

Redknapp wants to sign Jeffers to solve his current striker shortage.

He said: "I would like to sign Francis Jeffers, but I don't really think it's a goer. I will try it and see."

Redknapp said: "I am looking for a striker as we are desperately short - I have only really got Teddy Sheringham at the minute.

"He belongs to Arsenal and he is on loan at Everton and I doubt whether or not Arsenal would want to lose him."

Redknapp is currently without Aiyegbeni Yakubu due to the African Nations Cup and Svetoslav Todorov and Vincent Pericard through injury.

Jason Roberts' loan spell from West Brom has also ended and the player has now joined Wigan.

Chelski are meant to be eyeing up Saha now :|

Chelsea can have him.

Leicester got a bloody bargin with Canero. He is easy one of the best and most under rated players up north.

We would be linked with Saha whatever, we're linked with everyone under the sun.

Except Heskey.

Arsenal linked with Defoe :|

'Sif we really need another striker

Sure, we're stuffed right now if Henry gets injured, what what are we gonna do with him once Bergkamp, Wiltord, Kanu, Aliadiere, Pennant and Jeffers return??

Is it that hard to push Pires forward for a few games and put Parlour/Edu/Gilberto etc. on the wing until Bergkamp recovers in like a week?

Bloody saha :mad:

He should just be a grateful bastard like Henry was when arsenal turned down that 50 mil that chelsea offered him

We 'might' be signing 'someone' next week :-\

Heskey is definetly in talks with Middlesbrough

i hope the toon sign nicky butt and alan smith

Yeah i was like wtf when i read that,theres been no real explanation and when looking at the story the only thing mentioned with it was that he pulled out of the Man City game with an injury,which would be a pritty gay reason for transfer listing him.

In other news we've re-signed Steve Guppy,i used to think he was the man but he is 34 now,so i dunno.I think we really need to be signing players of real quality like Birmingham did last year to stay up,another class midfielder to take pressure off Izzet as against Chelsea and Man City we were shit in that area.

Henry was already at the best team, so why would he move? Saha isn't at one of the best teams.

Christian Vieri linked with Chelsea. :|

Yeah but Fulham still sign his paychecks, so he can be bloody grateful :mad:

Is he a defender or midfielder?i've heard both attributed to him.

I think he should be grateful for Fulham's help in establishing him but the fact is that one of the best teams around are interested in him.

Think of it this way,if you had a average payed job somewhere but it was made public that another company wanted you as manager or a different,better payed job than the current one and your current employers refused to let you go.What would you do?

Mostly plays right wing back he usually plays right wing for Scotland U21's.

Depends if i signed a bloody contract :mad:

I might get pissed off and stuff, but rules is rules

Cool,we could use a right back or a right sided midfielder,assuming we stick to 4-4-2.Should be good at 5-3-2,my preffered choice as it was the one under O'Neill,aswell.

We've been linked with Reo-Coker now.:D

Pompey were breifly linked with a loan move for Baros aswell as Jeffers but i can't see how/why Liverpool would allow that.

Manchester United have finally bought Saha.
Tottenham are now confirmed front runners to buy Nicky Butt. Who I believe is in the top four best footballers in the United team.
Jardel has left Bolton for the Serie A team Ancona.

Chelsea have got a deal going for Roberto Carlos now as well apparently.

As a Chelsea fan that would lift me, as a Real Madrid fan it wouldn't. Already struggling for defenders and midfielders, especially if Ronaldo leaves as well as is widely reported.

That someone is Carl Cort

Also, well played tonight, you lucky bastards :p

And MMM still wont believe Miller is good.

Of all people why did it have to be Cheyrou :rant:

Meh, Murphy hit the post, Iversen ballooned one from six yards :'(

By the accounts I read it was a fair result *shrug*

POMPEY ARE NEXT :eek:

Nah think you're getting confused here ;) At the start of the season I said if he was fit our chances would improve greatly. Problem is he hasn't been fit all season, more or less. Now he's getting a run together and things seem to be coming round.

I still say he played awful against Man U, yes he scored the goal but it was one of the worst I've ever seen him score, Howard honestly should've saved it :$ He started looking more like the player we had last season after he'd scored it though. The one tonight was him at his best though - it's probably just a confidence thing with him. *Hopes he can keep it up :$ *

You right, I was getting confused.

But I guess you meant on Saturday Kenny played like Jimmy does for Chelsea, he scores, but he does nothing else.

Lads was this just a bullsh</>it rumour, or is there any truth to it at all?

He's been linked all season, particularly after Crespo signed for the 'Ski and Vieri got his knickers in a twist about it

Also apparently, Spurs have had a bid for Robinson and Milner turned down
