Premiership Talk
 

WOOOOOOOOOOO,Transfer window opening in about an hour and 20 mins in the U.K so i thought may aswell have another thread for all the rumours and stuff.I'm pritty pumped for the new year and this makes it better.:D

Some moves have already been sealed and the players have just had to wait for the window to open so they can play,for example:

Michael Brown from Sheff Utd to Tottenham(500,000) Having seen the guy play against Leicester and other teams in div 1 last season i think Spurs have got a bargain there,even though he's not been so great this season.

Wolves will sign i think someone called Ganea but not too sure if thats right,but he is a Romanian forward on a free.

Can't think of any more deals but Leicester have been linked with Dabizas again and also 'an exciting Finnish player' but so have Man City(i forget his name btw).

Yeah so just post anymore deals and rumours or whatever.

RBFFFFFF:D

Apparantely Tottenham have had a bid for Andy Reid turned down,according to teletext between £2.5-£4 million.

The mentioning of a Swansea player reminded me of another player Leicester were linked with,18 yr old Chris Hall from Lincoln,so i guess he could be a good prospect,though i just checked the most recent team for Lincoln i could find and he didn't play.:(

Blackburn and Villa meanwhile have made inquiries about Muzzy Izzet,but no bid has been made(and it better stay that way :mad:),but sticking with Leicester,i think that we could do with maybe a couple of defenders and some quality midfielders,i would focus on the defense though as we have taken the lead 7 times this season and gone on to not claim maximum points.

We're looking at arjen Robben and some chinese/asian something or other guy.

pretty hot.. coudl do with another defener or so too thoughl.

Yeah Michael Brown for £500k is a bargain :mad: Damn you Pleat :rant:

We have signed Ganea, he's basically Mutu's partner in the Romanian national team :love: he couldn't settle in Turkey so they let him out of his contract :cool:

NOW SORT THE DEFENCE OUT DAVE :rant::rant::rant:

On the rumour page on ITV text,it has said that Leicester have told Blackburn to pay £1 million for Izzet.Seriously WTF,i'd rather have him till the end of the season and risk him going for nothing than see him leave now,because imo if he goes now for that,there is no way we could sign an equal or better standard replacement for that money and so we'd go down.:(

I think if he wasn't out of contract at the end of the season then we should get £4 million as a minimum.:rant:

<font size=3>Dabizas to join Leicester</font>

Leicester City are poised to complete the loan signing of Newcastle defender Nikos Dabizas.

ROASTID

Yeah i feel the same about the Lincoln kid,i think £250,000 was given as the price but we may aswell get a proven player who could be a free and then maybe pay a little more wages because of the non fee.

Muzzy's contract's up at the end of the season.:( Shame we won't get more than £1 million for him considering when Martin O'Neill (OBE :D) was in charge i think we turned down about £6 mill.He might stay i guess but the club has said that they can only offer a new contract when we're assured of premiership football next season.Personally,i'd offer him one now with Les Ferdinand apparantly not changing his mind about retiring and so thats a big earner off the wage bill,and then just offer Muzzy a slight drop because i doubt Blackburn would be willing to match his current wages(i think about £30,000) and plus they have Tugay and Flitcroft and then within 3 months,Barry Ferguson so will he play?

Pritty excited about Dabizas,i know when i said last summer about him packt up saw it as good riddance but i think he can be good for a club like Leicester,then i again i would've been fairly excited if anyone would have joined(other than Dennis Wise).
Anyway..

That's the story about Pasanen being linked with Portsmouth but Sky Sports News or it might be Sky Text say that they've signed him on loan until the end of the season.Incidently,he's a young Finnish defender who plays for Ajax but has recently dropped down their pecking order,fairly experienced in Champions League and International levels and Harry Redknapp has said he can play at full back and centre back.:yes:

In other news,Bolton seem set to sign Jamaican international keeper Donovan Ricketts(who was the man when Brazil played Jamaica at the Walkers Stadium earlier this year) and aswell as Muzzy,Blackburn have bid for Peter Enckleman.

We're being linked with Dwight Yorke :wtf:

STOP IT DAVE, SORT THE DEFENCE OUT :rant:

In other news Ganea might get his debut tomorrow against Kidderminster :love:

Blackburn's bid for Izzet has been turned down.:love:

Meh he's not so bad :wave: he should do a good job for you i hope. Seriously he should be considered for our team our defence is shambolic.

Didnt fancy buying Titus Bramble? :(

Villa have been linked with Nobby Solano and Viduka.
Barthez has gone on loan finally

Plymouth 6
Chesterfield 0

After just 36 minutes :lol:

Yeah well its not the Premiership, but I'm not making a new thread for it.

Gillingham 3 - 1 Charlton :|

Ah, the Cup :love:

:love:

Rolls royce performance all round.

Dyer woooooooooooooooooooooo.

Cisse's had a medical at Anfield :love:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...rs/3356585.stm


Bolton have signed Javi Moreno on loan from Atletico Madrid until the end of the season, subject to a medical.

Moreno is leaving Spain to look for first-team football after falling out of favour at Atletico.

The 29-year-old was a prolific scorer for Alaves when that club reached the final of Uefa Cup in 2001, in which they were beaten by Liverpool.

But his career has stalled ever since his £5.5m move to AC Milan the following season.


Moreno could make his debut in the FA Cup third-round replay against Tranmere a week on Tuesday after the sides finished level on Saturday. Bolton face Manchester United on Wednesday and then Blackburn at the weekend - but those Barclaycard Premiership games may come too soon.


With Nigerian forward Jay-Jay Okocha absent at the African Nations Cup, Bolton manager Sam Allardyce was anxious to bolster his squad for a busy fixture programme which could see Wanderers play nine games this month.

"He has only played eight matches this year for Atletico Madrid," said Bolton boss Sam Allardyce. "It means we have to be careful regarding his match fitness but hopefully he can be successful for us."

Allardyce decided to move for Moreno because of Mario Jardel's failure to find his scoring touch.

The Brazilian was drafted in from Sporting Lisbon in the summer but has yet to hit the target in the top flight. "Mario was here to score but hasn't managed one in the Premiership and you can't wait, " Allardyce added. <!-- E BO -->

lol nah,i think our current defenders are better than Bramble right now considering how he's playing.

I also have to change my BBC team cause i didn't think he could be kept in after the Blackburn game,so what with you playing Leeds i figured i'd put a Newcastle defender in and after O'Brien's goal-line clearance in the Blackburn game that he would be in but no. :mad: :(

Titus is shit. So is O'brien.

Woodgate however is the man :love:

Liking that Moreno signing for Bolton :y:

Come on Bobby buy someone good for defence please :(.

Yeah just signed that Spaniard on Champ Manager,started pritty well :D

Blackburn have signed Peter Enckleman permanentely too.

Muzzy seems set to stay aswell.:love:

Holy sh</>it Houllier did something good :eek:

He rejected an offer for Henchoz, maybe he does have a brain after all.

:lol: Henchoz is aweful

On his own, yes. With Hyppia, no.

All he does is fouls people and handballs it. :|

But I am judging by what I see on T.V. He might be playing tonight though, I'l be there.

Henchoz and Hyppia used to be good. Now they are crap, that is all

Henchoz and Hyppia play well with one another, because they tend to cancel out each others faults, the problem is they haven't played in the centre together for about 6 or 7 months.

I saw the Yeovil game and they put Henchoz right back with Biscan alongside Hyypia,which seemed kinda dumb seeing as Henchoz and Hyypia used to be the best center back partnership in the league.

In other news Nikos looks like making his debut tonight:love:

We could really do with a left back who isn't a complete prat :'(

Liverpool 1 Chelsea 0 :cool:

Waits for Dazz to quite rightly complain

Also, El Hadji Diouf shouldn't have been sent off, but its still a disgrace to football, and to Liverpool FC as a whole. I was really angry at his reaction to his sending off, keeping in mind he kicked the ball away 3 times, was booked rightly and was just a dick all night. That was his 10th and 11th bookings of the season, contributing to the majority of Liverpool's bookings this season. Him going to the African Nations can't come quickly enough.

In other news, Dietmar Hamann is god.

I love Portsmouth right now,cause without them getting Roberts then he'd have moved to Leicester and we wouldn't have Marcus Bent.:love:

0-0 draw at Southampton last night,quite a good result but i hear Les missed a chance to win it for us(recorded premiership so i'll watch that soon).

In transfer news,Newcastle have said they'll listen to offers for Nobby Solano.

Trappetoni (sp) has been linked with the Spurs job, although just about every manager alive has been linked, these talks appear to be at an advanced stage.

Liverpool are looking for a keeper as well.

Man Utd have apparently signed a Pre-Contract for Liam Miller of Celtic, that'll be a really good signing.

You said exactly what I was thinking, a few minutes before he was sent off he blasted the ball into the top teir of the stand...once it was well off the park, and the ref definitly should have booked him for that. He faked injury RIGHT next to the touchline and they should have just rolled the stupid prick off the pitch and got on with the game. He did overreact when he got sent off, but he did have a very valid point, and if anyone got booked for that then it deserved to be Mutu, because Diouf wasn't even looking, Mutu should have seen his foot.

I still wore my Chelsea shirt to college today, because I don't think we deserved to lose, the only difference between the teams is that you scored your only chance.

Heskey played quite well, and that was one hell of a pass to Cheyrou. Mutuuuu :(, hitting the bar :mad: how did he miss that.

End of the day, a draw would have been a fair result, Geremi, Gudjohnson, Johnson were fu</>cking aweful, the sooner Ranieri stops playing them, the better.


OH AND WE HAD TWO GOOD PENATLY APPEALS AT THE END, THE SECOND OF THE TWO WAS DEFINITLY A PENALTY. POOR MUTU. :(

Ha ha. Great perfomance last night, Diouf said in the Sun today that he loves being a bastard. :shifty: I think he had every right to act the way he did after the sending off. It could of cost us the game because the linesman is an idiot.

Anyway Liverpool are looking for a goalie although no names have apeared yet. Probably only be a loan deal.

Man Utd are going to buy Liam Miller at the end of the season which should piss off the Celtic fans as he's a great young player.

Yeah,its also been said that United will sign a Chinese player,called something like Dong and i'm not gonna attempt his surname.:(

Berkovic looks likely to go to Pompey,according to ceefax it is a question of whether it can be done before they play Man City on saturday.

About the Chelsea match,they seemed unlucky not to get anything,Mutu needs a goal but hoepfully not in their next match.Dabizas to mark him out the gaaaaaaame.:cool:

Lol at Mutu and Diouf both of them are crap so its ok :y:

Nah really though wtf was that sending off about :| bizzare - don't feel sorry for Diouf cos yeah he was being a dick about it. Mutu didn't seem to know about it but i laughed at his inability to score and he does go down to easy (but who doesn't these days?! :n: )

WTF at Cheyrou playing :wtf: worked out in the end though eh.

And :( at Nobby Solano maybe leaving.

Chelsea have been linked with Petr Cech for the past few days but have apparantly had a £6 million bid rejected,but that seems a bit much for someone to be bought as a cover goalkeeper.:wtf:

I guess if you got it,spend it though.:-\

WE'RE FU</>CKING LOADED, LA LA LA LA LA LA
WE'RE FU</>CKING LOADED.

:D

Gordon Strachan is standing down as Southampton manager at the end of the season

That's a shocker

Also Liverpool are supposed to be signing Paul Jones :|

Daniel Levy (Spurs Chairman) has confirmed they want Trappetoni

Man U have as good as signed Liam Miller and they've made a new offer for Saha supposedly

LOL :D

I remember when you thought Roman would ruin Chelsea. :wavesad:

Ahahahaha Cort is shit.

If that goes through its our lucky day.

Still nothing :|

Viral infection my ass, get out of bed and sign some players Dave :rant:

Paul Jones has joined Liverpool on a month's loan. Also Diouf as expected has had his sending off reduced to 1 yellow.

I still do, just better make the most of it before he does.

:wavesad:

At least the debts are paid off

Yes but wage bills are on going. £50mil a year on wages. Thats gunna take its toll.

I personally think he's the man,it brings a smile to my face when i see him smiling away,even when you lost to Charlton. :$

Thinking about it though,you're probably right,i doubt he'll want to stay in England all the time(or for the majority) and sooner or later will probably leave,which will cause a fair bit of damage.Plus i read that Mutu wants to go to Romania in 2 years and play for Steau,dunno how though cause they probably won't be able to afford the asking price,even if he says wages won't be a problem.

Auxerre have said that it's as good as done that Cisse will be a Liverpool player next season

Also I've seen conflicting reports that Liverpool will sign him next week, which I doubt, but it would be nice.

lol

I prefer the Cort deal personally :(.

Liverpool got Cisse for £13.7 million apparently at the end of the season.

As for Carl Cort, a guy from my work who is a die hard Scummer (Southampton fan) says they tried to get him on loan at the start of the season but it's a definate no go now from what he hears. The beauty of football ground rumours!

They needa replacement for Owen, 40Mil, what a bargain :shifty:


I hope we dont get him, I'd pay no more then £20mil for him, and we dont need a striker anyway. Forsell and Cole will be back next season, and hopefully Gudjohson will have gone.

Actually Rob according to Houllier it was a lot less

Which means it was probably a lot more.

Why pay £5million for butt when you can get it for like £50 on some street corners

Portsmouth have cancelled Zivkovic's contract by mutual consent :|

This from a team who can barely put together 16 players right now :$ :|

Word,i was thinking 'why do that' when i read that it was cancelled.

Also,thanks for not making a thread about the result on Sunday Dazz :$.

I had exams on monday and Tuesday, so i had to revise, have barely been online. The moments gone now, so I'll just taunt you forever on MSN.

David Seaman just announced his retirement too.

I know last week Peter Bonetti was at Dens Park watching Julien Sparoni and Craig Gordon too (because he sat about 8 seats away from me) so could be signing 2 goalies this week.

:lol: I love you man!

It was just three days ago we were saying what a great guy Seaman is.

But I'm not suprised, he would have retired at the end of the season anyway.

I'd be smiling about that bro. :)

Louis Saha's dream came true on Tuesday when Fulham accepted an offer of £9.8m for the striker from Manchester United.
Fulham had previously rejected an offer of £8m for Saha, but the extra cash tipped the balance and brought an end to an acrimonious tug-of-war.

"I am very happy now that we are about to complete the deal," the 25-year-old Frenchman told the Daily Mail.

Providing he passes a medical on Wednesday, Saha is expected to be a United player by the weekend.

Fulham manager Chris Coleman must now try to replace his leading goalscorer, and Celtic's £4m-rated John Hartson is a possible candidate.

Saha, who is hoping this 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 had 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.

Metz bonus

But speaking on Tuesday, Saha's agent Branko Stoic said: "Sir Alex Ferguson will not give up on Louis Saha.

"Negotiations are hard but a new, superior bid is coming, and I believe the transfer will go ahead this week."

Saha, who joined Fulham from Metz for £2.1m three years ago, scored his 15th goal of the season when he converted a penalty in the 2-1 win over Everton on Saturday.

Metz will earn around £1m from Saha's transfer to Old Trafford under a sell-on clause in the deal that saw him come to London.

ie./ sssssssssssssss

Saha no :cry:

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
