We've been in contact with Spurs about Crouch, they want 14 mil for him. But they're interested in Babel aswell so I can see a swap deal happening.

And Crouch has been told by Abby Clancy that hes gotta move back down here to save their relationship to get away from the bad influences in London, after he slept with that prozzy.

If he signs... We'll have Abby Clancy, Alex Gerrard, and Carly Zucker all at the one club. I guess that could end up linking Terry with us aswell.

Martin O'Neill has just resigned as Aston Villa manager! Source - Sky Sports News


I did not see that coming :| they even cut the reporting on SSN to go straight to this news!

Big news am watching now.

Wonder whos next..

[SocietyIsRuined]

I thought Villa would struggle this season and this comes as no shock. The timing is, but I thought he would be the first manager sacked, Mancini imo will be the second.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Everton boss David Moyes is hoping to pull off a cut-price transfer coup by snapping up Spanish defender Jose Angel.

Angel, 20, has a £15m release clause in his contract and is tied to the club until 2014, but he is understood to be avaialable for just £3m.


Could be another Moysey bargain signing if this comes good, and I do think we need more depth defensively, he'd be the ideal back up for Bainsey. Young lad too :)

Omg @ all the Cardiff news today, and it's only midday!!!

We've signed Seyi Olofinjana on a season long loan from Hull, perfect signing! Just what we need is a bonecrusher in the center of the park :)

Ross McCormack is off to Ipswich :bawling: for 500k and Jon Stead :/ I'd rather take the money and leave Stead cos he's shyte, but is one of those players who always scores against us. Gutted to see Ross going, he's 2nd string to Chops and will never get a chance as he's overweight and has a real drinking problem, so a move could help him sort his lifestyle and he could be the amazing player he was 2 seasons ago, he'd be a great asset for Ipswich.

Brian Clark, Cardiff legend died this morning :( scored the winner when we beat Real Madrid 1-0 in the 70's. Met the guy last year, top bloke but he's been unwell for a while. R.I.P Brian, you hero x

[MissKittyFantastico]

I've heard it all now from the Daily Star...Moysey to Villa?!! :joker:

Also being reported that we're going in with a 13mil bid for Remy, errrr and we're getting this money from where exactly?!

Everton are making an audacious £13million move for Loic Remy - and will help fund it by selling Yakubu to West Ham.

Nice striker Remy, 23, has turned into one of the hottest transfer properties this summer and is due to make his France debut against Norway on Wednesday.

West Ham have been at the forefront of the chase but have been unable to come up with the necessary cash and realise £8m-rated Yakubu is a more realistic target.

Tottenham and Stoke have also shown interest but have other targets and Remy acknowledges Everton represent his best opportunity of coming to the Premier League.

Although Everton have been struggling to find funds, the club's backers want to give manager David Moyes the chance to break back into the Premier League's top four. They see Remy as the man to give the side the clinical touch they are missing.


What a load of ****e, we'd be lucky to get 8mil for Yak, and we can't afford Donovan at 10mil so where the hell is the money going to come from?? The clubs backers?!! We've just secured Arteta and working on Pienaar (both with a significant hike in wages)..I don't know where they get their info from.

[Chels]

Yes we can :D

He's apparently got a clause in his contract meaning if he's dropped from the main squad he can apply to have his contract terminated. Therefore if he gets dropped from the 25-man squad he can effectively quit and recieve a severance pay from Man City which will benefit us as well as him as it will be a lot less than his current 90k a week contract. Then he could join us on a free, and he's previously stated playing football isn't about money so he'd take a huge pay cut :thumbs:

West Ham United have made another bid for Everton Yakubu after having a £7 million offer rejected last month, reports Sky Sports News.

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2010/08/10/2064727/west-ham-table-another-bid-for-everton-striker-yakubu-report

If they can keep him fit then that is a great signing for them. He usually averages between 15-20 goals a season.

Also opens the door for Carlton Cole to come to us :)

[King Gizzard]

Yakubu will be amazing at West Ham always been a fan

[seanraff07]

Pardon my spelling haha :p SSN know nothing anyway, they just said we have no senior keepers available bar Marshall http://www.ccmb.co.uk/fudforum/images/smiley_icons/facepalm.gif

Aw yeah sorry about us nicking him from yous, has to be done i suppose!

We are starting Allan McGregor in goals though, but i think David Marshall should be starting, he's much better IMO!

They don't take an interest in anything apart from the EPL.:bored:

[MissKittyFantastico]

Good luck to West Ham with Yakubu if they get him, I honestly don't think he's got 15/20 goals a season in him anymore, plus he's become awfully lazy, but then this is what he does, has a couple of good seasons for a club and then gets restless and complacent so maybe him going would actually be a blessing for us and for the Hammers. I don't think Moysey wants to sell him though :s

Fabianski confident of No.1 spot.

Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is convinced he has won the race to be the club's first choice custodian this season, reports the Daily Mail. Manager Arsene Wenger has recently been believed to be lining up moves for a string of top goalkeepers, including Shay Given, Pepe Reina and Mark Schwarzer, but Fabianski, who joined the Gunners from Polish outfit Legia Warszawa in 2007, said: "I hope it will be a breakthrough season for me. I have a double task. I want to become the No.1 in the Arsenal goal and that would help me to realise my second target – to be No.1 in the national team."
LOL!!!! Never..



Stuttgart defender Serdar Tasci has reportedly admitted that a move to Arsenal would be difficult to turn down after being strongly linked with Arsene Wenger's side all summer.

The Turkish-born German international, 23, has made more than 100 league appearances for the Bundesliga side since breaking into the first team in 2006 and was part of his country's squad that reached the semi-finals of the World Cup.

[MissKittyFantastico]

EVERTON were left bemused last night when West Ham United made a fresh bid for Yakubu – for less than their rejected initial offer. the Londoners returned yesterday with a new offer of £5m to sign the 27-year-old.

Pffffffft what a joke :joker: Needless to say it was rejected.

Jack Rodwell got MOTM last night in the England U21's match against Uzbekistan, was captain for 60 odd minutes until he was subbed (to a standing ovation) and played really, really well from what I managed to see, Capello was watching so hopefully he'll get a call up to the senior squad before too long. Danny Welbeck was really impressive too I thought.

Moyes has rubbished ideas that he may go to Villa in an interview on TalkSport, not that really even needed saying lol but good to see him speak out and dismiss it so adamantly and declare once again his commitment to Everton :)

[30stone]

Rodwell's gonna be great :)

They made a lower bid?

[MissKittyFantastico]

Haha yeah! Talk about a cheek, they offered 7mil last time and it was turned down, now they come back with an offer for 5mil? :hugesmile:

Don't get me wrong I'd be quite happy to see the pie muncher go but they're taking the piss, Moyes has said he wouldn't accept less than 12mil for him anyway but even then he's not really looking to sell.

I think shawcross could be good at some point.

Though saying it..

Joe hart, he controls his outfield players very very well for such a young keeper..

Yeah.

I've actually got Shawcross in one of my fantasy football teams, I really rate him. And agreed on Hart too.

I'd take the 9mil definitely, then maybe look to try and get Donovan. I just think that Moyes has set his mind on not selling at all this season, and he's put such a big price on Yakubu to send a message that our players aren't for sale. I say give him till Jan to see if he comes good, though I personally don't think he's going to be the same player of a couple of seasons ago again, mainly due to his injury, he doesn't seem to have recovered well tbh, and people are using that as an excuse, Mickey, Jags and Fellani have all come back from serious injury and all looked/look great. I think his best days are just over.

[30stone]

Yeah for sure.
Kinda like eduardo again lol..

Yak not worth more than £2m

West Ham chairman David Sullivan says he won’t offer more than £2m for Yakubu, although figures for previous bids for the Nigerian striker coming from West Ham have been quoted at much higher recently…

The Hammers’ chairman says that Everton want £8m for the striker, but that the Londoners want to pay no more than £2m.

“We have cooled on Yakubu,” said Sullivan. “When you have a good hard look at him, we want younger and quicker and better.

“Everything has a price. You want to get Yakubu for £1-2 million and they are quoting £8 million and that is far too much.

“They have to be more realistic. If they said £1-2m we might go back. We bid more at the start of the summer because we had more flexibility but, at this moment in time, having spent some of our money on other players we want him for £1-2m.”

The Yak joined Everton for £11.25m two years ago and scored more than 20 goals in his first season on Merseyside.



They are seriously taking the piss now! :joker:

[30stone]

7 - 8 mil is his price for me..


Christian Poulsen is a great signing for liverpool really wanted him at arsenal..

Liverpool will have to cough up £20m for Carlton Cole. West Ham are willing to sell but they want a top price as they would have little time before the new season kicks off to sign a replacement striker.

BArcelonca want to swap Zlatan for Robinho.
Thats a good deal for city! Zlatan is far better.


Mezut Ozil wants to join Real madrid and they are willing to pay more than other clubs.




Spanish newspaper Marca are reporting that Manchester City are set to continue their big spending ways with a €40 million bid for AC Milan defender Thiago Silva. - 40m euro on a defender and they want to push the milner price down?? ridiculous, id never compromise with man city, id say a price and stick to it.





Arsenal scout Giles Grimandi watched Montpellier pair Emir Spahic and Mapou Mbiwa-Yanga in action last weekend, according to L’Equipe.

The duo performed impressively as the hosts dispatched Jean Tigana’s side 1-0. With the Gunners scratching for defensive numbers after the exits of Mikael Silvestre, Sol Campbell, William Gallas and Philippe Senderos the players could be set for a move.

Mbiwa-Yanga is a 21-year-old full back, while Bosnia international Spahic could compliment new boy Laurent Koscielny. (Goal.com)

“I need it to happen,” Schwarzer told the Australian Daily Telegraph. “I’ve had a couple of chats with Mark. It’s delicately poised. Who wouldn’t be keen to go to Arsenal?

Top 10 Youngsters set to light up the Premier League this season.


1 ) Jack Wilshere

The attacking midfielder who has played out wide but prefers to operate in the centre is hopeful of first team chances at the Emirates this season. His loan spell at Bolton did not go unnoticed as he earned his first senior England cap against Hungary this week. The creative schemer has received high praise from Capello: “He plays without fear, with confidence. This is not normal to be so young and so good.”


2 ) Jack Rodwell

This talented Evertonian made his senior debut for the club at 16. He has been utilised in defence but is destined for a central midfield role given his quality on the ball. The 19-year old who scored his first PL goal against Manchester United earlier this year impressed as captain this week for the England under-21s as they beat Uzbekistan.


3 ) Victor Moses

When Crystal Palace were forced to sell their most prized asset in January, this Nigerian born youngster was linked with moves to both Manchester clubs and even Real Madrid. Eventually the delights of Wigan beckoned for the speedy, powerful playerswho is used either as a winger or a striker. Known for scoring spectacular goals the 19-year old can expect more playing time at the DW


4 ) Chris Wood

West Brom’s Young Player of the Year was within a whisker of giving New Zealand a victory in their 1-1 draw with Italy at the World Cup. The 19-year old Kiwi striker featured fleetingly in the Baggies’ last PL season. The imposing figure who has been heralded as an old-fashioned centre forward may bring an extra dimension to West Brom’s attack this season.


5 ) Marc Albrighton

With a new manager imminent at Villa Park, this tricky winger will be hoping to impress this campaign. The 20-year old who has once turned down by West Brom came through Villa’s youth system. Accustomed to playing on the right wing, Albrighton is known for his pace, skill and accurate crossing ability.


6 ) Zavon Hines

The 21-year old Jamaican born forward should have sent a clear message to Capello about the dangers of calling Jamie Carragher out of international retirement when he easily outpaced the Liverpool defender last season. The West Ham player earned his side a penalty that day and scored a last minute winner in the home game against Aston Villa. Currently sidelined with a knee injury, the forward should regain starting opportunities on his return to fitness. The Upton Park crowd quietly refer to him as the new Jermaine Defoe.

7 ) Phil Jones

The 18-year old centre back won admirers and rave reviews in the latter half of last season making nine appearances for Blackburn. Tipped as a future England centre-back, the player appeared calm and authoritative in their defence. Sam Allardyce has said his transition into a regular first team player will be carefully managed. Continued commanding performances from Jones may scupper that cautious approach.


8 ) Nile Ranger

The 6ft 2in London born striker has been praised by Toon legend Alan Shearer. The smartest move he made during his short managerial stint at St James’ Park was to reward the payer with a new long-term contract. The tall and pacy forward is a prodigious talent and may be thrust into the spotlight if Newcastle’s front line is not strengthened.


9 ) Jordan Henderson

The midfielder earned the Young Player of the Year award at this boyhood club last season. Henderson scored his first PL goal at Manchester City last year and racked up many more assists as he was a revelation on Sunderland’s right wing. The energetic midfielder with an eye for a good cross has committed his future to the club, much to the delight of the Sunderland faithful.


10 ) Adam Johnson

At 23-years old the Manchester City winger who played the full 90 minutes for England this week may no longer be considered a young, up and coming prospect. Plucked from Middlesbrough in January, Johnson adapted seamlessly to life at big spending Manchester City. In keeping with the trend for wrong-footed wingers, the left-footer poses a goal threat on City’s right wing and commits full backs on their weaker foot. His curling goal against Sunderland last season was inspired and sublime


Some of them are not great..

[30stone]

Steven Gerrard has revealed he would "love" Everton counterpart Mikel Arteta to come into the England fold.

Arteta, who is from the Basque Country and is Spanish by nationality, has never been capped by the reigning European and world champions. He qualifies for England through the residency rule like his compatriot Manuel Almunia, the Arsenal goalkeeper.
You want to play with the best players, and if it makes the England squad better, of course I'd like to see it.
Steven Gerrard on Arteta

And Liverpool skipper Gerrard admits he would welcome his Merseyside rival into the England camp. He told TalkSPORT's Drive Time: "I'd certainly love nothing better than to see Mikel Arteta available for England.

"You want to play with the best players, and if it makes the England squad better, of course I'd like to see it," he went on. "I think it happens to most national teams [that they pick non-nationals], but it's up to him if he wants to make himself available. You want to play with the best players, and if it makes the England squad better, of course I'd like to see it."

Gerrard added: "Fabio Capello is the man to answer the question because he's the manager, but for me he's an excellent player."



Well said gerrard.

[Locke.]

Dani Pacheco should be on there, definitely the best young spanish player in the country.

Dani Pacheco should be on there, definitely the best young spanish player in the country.

Oh yeah, just saw one of them was born in Jamaica, didn't see the bit about him being able to play for England.

Be nice to see some youngsters doing well...

Gibbs if he gets his chance will be amazing.

The Question is..

can any of those youngsters do this

1TxAYwSJZns

[30stone]

fabregas could..

[Locke.]

Ngog can do that with his eyes closed

[Novo]

Fabregas would fall over his own feet trying to run

Ngog would probably not even try to attempt it....

[King Gizzard]

Going to Villa tommorow, actually think we will win, West Ham will be so complacement but our caretaker manager knows all the players well and I actually wish he got it permanently. Super Kevs barmy army!

[setanta]

Watched Villa perform there on the telly and I have to say I was very impressed, although they were up against a poor West Ham side. Having said that though, Villa played some really nice football, with Milner, Albrighton and Downing really standing out for me. Carew still does a job for them up front but his finishing today was very poor.

[King Gizzard]

Best game ive ever been to, atmosphere was amazing, team played with a freedom I've never seen before. Albrighton is an England player in the future for sure, along with Clark

Best chant of the match ''Martin, Martin Who?'' to the daddy cool theme tune


Kevin MacDonalds claret and blue army!

Maradonna wants the Villa job :joker:

[Wildcat!]

WHat a great goal by Ngoc!! Liverpool 1-0 Arsenal

I have to say, Arsenal looks really Awful BTW!!! They really need to get some better players, if they will ever have a chance to contend for the title. All this young players craap. just aint working.

[setanta]

The Sky Sports pundits saying that Joe Cole isn't dirty. What planet are they on? He's a petulant git and likes to go in hard from time to time.

[Locke.]

Our performance deserved a clean sheet, one of the best defensive performances I've seen.

Was a really good game anyway, and at half time I would have taken a point, so all isn't bad.

[Wildcat!]

it was a good game. i still think Arsenal sucks though.

[Locke.]

To be fair they were missing their best player, I still think they'll be there or thereabouts at the end of the season

[Novo]

Maradonna wants the Villa job :joker:

Has it really gotten this bad for him

[30stone]

We definately looked the better side first half great defensive work from liverpool was impressive, we definately missed fabregas, and van persie although made a different isnt fully fit yet.

Was happy to get the point.

Think it was a ridiculous desicion to send off our new defender.
First yellow yes definately, second not a chance.

Be good to play blackpool at home next week, i mean they won very well, but they are a team i think we could rip apart especially in the last 20 mins when we tire them.

[30stone]

Could see that Van Persie was the only one that could get through the liverpool defence..

We struggled to get through the middle massively.. and van persie and rosicky walked through.. just wish van persie was fully fit.

[setanta]

it was a good game. i still think Arsenal sucks though.

Not at all Wildcat. They'll still be around come the end of the season.

[Locke.]

I think Chamakh looked good when he was allowed to run with the ball, his positioning was a bit off for most the game though.

[setanta]

Brilliant performance from United, with Scholes and Berbatov in tremendous form. Joy to watch and should have been more then 3-0.

Oh, and the goal from Giggsy near the end was just beautiful.

[Locke.]

Andy Carroll is going to get himself a few goals this season, looked very strong tonight.

[setanta]

Andy Carroll is going to get himself a few goals this season, looked very strong tonight.

Missed an absolute sitter though, but yeah, he looks fairly good... strong and athletic anyway.

Not a bad team, but they don't have any strength in depth and United basically played them off the park. Wish Scholes was still in his 20's. What a player.

But yeah, Newcastle should survive, as long as they don't get too many injuries.

[Locke.]

I think they need to sign a right back and a centre back. Could do with another striker aswell, Ameobi has proven about 10 seasons in a row that he is not good enough for the premeriship.

[Novo]

Newcastle needed Lovenkrands out there tonight

Arsenal On the Verge of Huge £11m Signing That Could Boost Title Chase



Reports this afternoon suggest Arsenal and Manchester City are in talks over the sale of Eastlands keeper Shay Given with the stopper’s former Newcastle United teammate Warren Barton reportedly revealing on American television that the transfer could go through any day now.

Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given revealed over the weekend that he will seek the exit door at the Eastland’s stadium if Joe Hart is made the number 1 with a number of Premier League clubs notably Arsenal and Fulham alerted to his availability.

The 34-year-old Republic of Ireland international has revealed he does not want to sit on the bench at this stage in his career and will look to leave the City of Manchester with England hopeful Joe Hart having been picked ahead of him by manager Roberto Mancini as City’s Number 1.

Barcelona Coach Pep Guardiola Looking To Replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic With Manchester City Striker Robinho

[30stone]

Arsenal striker Jay Simpson is eyeing a permanent £1m move to Hull City to revive his career, according to his agent.

Simpson has failed to break into Arsene Wenger's first-team plans at the Emirates Stadium, spending last season on loan at Queens Park Rangers, and is holding talks with Hull boss Nigel Pearson about a possible switch to the KC Stadium.





Arsenal have move for Fiorentina midfield star rejected
Riccardo Montolivo had been targeted by Arsene Wenger but now the deal is dead he will switch attention to more pressing issues.


Manuel Almunia is ready to quit Arsenal if the Gunners sign another experienced goalkeeper this month.



Arsenal Set Sights On £12m Dutch International Centre Back: Wenger Targets Mathijsen
Joris Mathijsen has emerged as a target for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger as he continues to search for another centre back to help stabilize his back line after losing the services of William Gallas, Sol Campbell and Mikel Silvestre. The 30 year old Hamburg defender played a key part in Holland’s World Cup campaign and is a vastly experienced player who may well be interested in a new challenge after four years in the Bundesliga. - I would be happy if we signed him!!!




Arsenal are reportedly in talks with Stuttgart to sign 15-year-old midfielder Serge Gnabry after he impressed on trial.

After joining the Gunners on a week’s trial, he did so well the club extended the deal for a further three days so youth coach Liam Brady could check him out in pre-season friendlies for the under-18 team.

And the club will want to put a deal in place quickly in order to allow him to make the move on his 16th birthday for a nominal fee.

The German, who can also represent the Ivory Coast was sensational against Birmingham City, grabbing a goal and assists, and the North London side have moved quickly to beat any other potential suitors.

Gnabry scored 30 goals from an advanced midfield position last season and will continue Arsene Wenger’s policy of bringing the best talent from the continent to the Emirates Stadium.





Neil Warnock has tipped Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season – if they can clinch the signing of Mark Schwarzer from Fulham.

The Gunners have failed to pick up a major trophy since their FA Cup success in 2005 and their last league title came a year before that.

But, while Warnock believes champions Chelsea will again be prominent, the QPR boss says the addition of an experienced shot-stopper like Schwarzer can give Arsene Wenger's side the edge.

*

“I think they’ve needed one (a keeper) for a while and if they can get somebody like him who is so reliable it will be a massive piece in the jigsaw,” Warnock told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.

“I think whoever finishes above Chelsea will win it. I have a sneaky feeling this year for Arsenal for some reason.

“I think Arsene over the last few years has taken stick but he has been building quietly and they have got more experience – and Fabregas staying is a massive plus for them.”

Bellamy to Cardiff is a bargain, he doesn't need to worry about money but is purely going on football decision, it's close to his family home etc which is nice to see in the game for once:).

[Chels]

Not a bad signing, he's 30 now though, could be lacking a bit in pace for a LB.

We need a decent LB though as Blake needs to back to center half to partner Hudson, as both Gerrard and Gyepes are crap. I'd be happy with Naylor as Whittingham or Koumas could easily cover his pace.

[Novo]

But all teams in the Prem are good quality sides - in the SPL all teams bar Celtic and Rangers are League One standard and Celtic and Rangers are mid-table Championship sides at best.

Rangers would easily hold their own in the Premiership, last 3 EPL teams Rangers have played

Chelsea - Won 2-0
Blackburn - Won 2-1
Newcastle - Won 2-1

It would be a stroll in the Park

[seanraff07]

Cardiff are Basically buying all the scummiest players around

Bellamy and Naylor..

Robbie keane will be having a medical there in the next hour

Or Riordan from us.:D

They were linked with him earlier in the summer actually..

Although i amn't fussed what he's like off the pitch as long as he keeps producing goals on it! We need to get him signed up soon though or i think he could go to a Championship team like Cardiff.

[Chels]

I love championship away games in all the ones i've been to they let you sit where you like so get in there early and have amazing seats! We normally go to the top next to the wall so we can bang on it woop

I sit the the bangy wall at the CCS xD

What about when Arsenal pumped yous 3-0 in the Emirates Cup last year?

[King Gizzard]

I like Rangers for one thing - signing Jelavic so he doesn't play tommorow for Rapid Vienna vs us in the Europa League

Last year he sent us out

[King Gizzard]

Lol @ when Gunter stood on someones foot

Wow tough man :laugh:

Charlie Adam was the main reason blackpool got promoted to the premiership but he wasn't even in Rangers starting XI. speaks volumes

Maybe Ian Holloway has just got the best out of him.

And i just find it funny how successful he has been with Blackpool since leaving yous!

[Chels]

Seen them Bellam 3 shirts on SSN, If I were a cardiff fan I would actually get one of them just for the novelty of it, lol

Typical of our shyte club shop to mess up the orders... they ain't even got away shirts or keeper shirts in yet! Bloody ridiculous.

We've had 3000 orders of Bellamy shirts D: I think i'm the only supporter who's not getting his name on my shirt lmfao

[King Gizzard]

Are you getting Wildig??

[King Gizzard]

D: SSN have just said the football league could actually refuse bellamys transfer

They should just give all the profits of the shirt sales to Motherwell and bam, its done and over with

[Chels]

LOL no :p either Hudson or McNaughton, aint decided yet :p

[Chels]

D: SSN have just said the football league could actually refuse bellamys transfer

That's what the club are planning on doing, and extra ticket sales etc so it's the easiest method for Motherwell to get their money... it's stupid if they refuse the transfer cos it'll just take longer for them to get paid.

Or alternatively we could send Quinn back to them, he is poop.

Paul Quinn is world class!

[Chels]

Omg I've just seen the most hilarious photo of Mark Kennedy xD

[bbfan1991]

Cardiff should tell Motherwell to do one:mad::D.

Milner move dusted, tbh getting £26 million for him is a bargain considering he was brought in for half that value.

[King Gizzard]

Good god Chels I hope you don't know this man

Speculation is hotting up around a move for Bordeaux midfielder Yoann Gourcuff, after it was believed that Manchester City scouts were in attendance for the French clubs 2-1 defeat at home to Toulouse this weekend.

Despite enduring some what of a difficult summer in South Africa with his national side, Gourcuff has been on the radar of a number of Premier League clubs in recent times, with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and City rivals Manchester United all tracking the 24 year old.

Although speculation around a move to a top four Premier League club has lessened in the last few months, it is believed City are ready to swoop in and make yet another big money move as they look to mount a title challenge this campaign.




They are just signing people for a laugh arent they???

[30stone]

How Ashley Cole can make england stop hating him..

1 Go on Jeremy Kyle
2 Go to Rehab
3 Distract people with fasion
4 Cash in on Crouch's "cock - Up"
5 Show his sensitive side
6 Go out with someone even less popular than himself
7 Leave Chelsea FC
8 Hold a press Conference (tiger woods style)
9 Help out at an old peoples home
10 RETIRE!


Lol.

Scott Parker is the latest English player to emerge on Roy Hodgson’s radar at Liverpool.

Despite West Ham’s unwillingness to sell their 30-year-old captain, Parker is admired at Anfield where Roy Hodgson has been monitoring his situation for some time.

The Reds’ next move depends on the future of Javier Mascherano who has declared his intention to leave the club but for whom there have been no firm offers.

[King Gizzard]

Not going to happen

West Ham owners are *****s.

[Locke.]

Don't need another centre mid. Already have Poulsen, Lucas, Aquilani and Spearing, if Mascherano leaves. And Gerrard can play centre mid, too.

Would be a waste of money, need to spend it on a striker instead.

Arsenal are reportedly on the verge of signing Italian international Riccardo Montolivo.

The 25-year-old midfielder was heavily linked with a move to the Emirates as recently as June, with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger reportedly keen to sign the player as a potential replacement for Cesc Fabregas.



Wolfsburg will offer Liverpool winger Ryan Babel a career lifeline with a possible £9million switch.


Arsenal continue to look to the future after reportedly agreeing a deal to sign Stuttgart teenage starlet Serge Gnabry.


Japan ace Keisuke Honda is aiming for a move to the Premier League in January.

The 24-year-old has been linked with some of Europe’s top-clubs after he was the star performer for the Blue Samurais in the World Cup.

His classy displays led to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger branding the CSKA Moscow playmaker a “genius”, and the Gunners are now favourites to sign the £12 million-rated man.

5 Players Arsenal should consider Signing.

2. Gary Cahill - Great signing id be happy, would become an england international..
3. Fernando Llorente - BIG Powerful striker great player would be excellent.
4. Juan Manuel Mata - Great player but i dont think he would have much difference of an impact to nasri.
5. Nigel De Jong - Never happen.



Just remembered nasri is out for the next 5 matches :(

Vladimir Weiss signing for Rangers

It’s a miracle! Manchester City are putting three players up for sale – players who evidently have no future in Roberto Mancini’s title challenge season. Perhaps the most widely expected name on his list is Robinho, the 32m flop from Real Madrid, who spurned Chelsea for the riches of Eastlands in 2008.

His first season wasn’t half bad, although his home and away form was like Jekyll and Hyde, and managed to hit 13 goals despite some expectations of 25+ a season.

Another one for the exit door is Roque Santa Cruz, the Paraguayan international who chose to forsake mid-table Blackburn for (then) mid-table Manchester City last year. However, one injury after another has significantly hampered the striker’s City prospects – and just 3 goals from 19 appearance just isn’t good enough.

At 17.5m, the loss of Santa Cruz at a cut price or for free would not be the end of the world, but certainly a disappointment for the man who once showed so much potential for club and country.

And finally, Shay Given may come as a surprise departure to some, but the form of goalkeeper Joe Hart for Birmingham City last season (and at Tottenham on Saturday) has breathed new life into England’s future hopes between the sticks. As such, there appears to be very little room for the Irish shot-stopper, who has proven over the years how safe his hands truly are.

[30stone]

Sky Sports News caused outrage amongst Liverpool fans after altering images on banners in the Annfield crowd for a pre-match montage preceding the 1-1 draw to Arsenal on Sunday.

The images were altered to show Roy Hodgson in the same picture of managing legends Paisley, Shankly, Dalglish and recently sacked Rafa Benitez, implying the newly appointed Hodgson is certain to replicate fortuitous times on Merseyside.

Fans took this as a sign of disrespect, especially to the last managerial campaign, which came under a lot of criticism from the Sky Sports punditry .The Liverpool faithful have expressed their absolute anger on a forum dedicated to all concerning the club. Fans explain that whilst they are supportive of the current boss, he has to earn such respect and Sky shouldn’t exploit the images created by fans just for the hype (created by the company) of an English manager in a top four side.

William Gallas is ready to sign with Tottenham.

The Mirror says Harry Redknapp has stepped up his bid to pull off a controversial deal for Gallas.

Wheeler dealer Redknapp is determined to strengthen his squad, especially after Tottenham’s Champions League defensive horror show against Young Boys.

Steven Pienaar has insisted he loves playing for Everton and is happy to sign a new deal if fair terms can be agreed.

The South African midfielder has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park despite never stating that he was looking to leave.

The speculation stems from the fact that negotiations over a contract extension have dragged on for some time and he is yet to officially commit his future to the Toffees.

Pienaar's current deal expires next year and a number of other Premier League clubs are thought to be monitoring his situation.

However, the 28-year-old maintains that he still enjoys life with Everton and hopes an agreement can be sorted soon.



Evertons a weird club, with the exception of Rooney and Lescott everyone wants to stay and always have lol.

Probably because it's like a big family at Everton, everyone whose ever played for us says what a great atmosphere there is and how the team is always really tight :) Don't get that very much these days.

I just hope Peanut isn't trying to hold us to ransom and wants the same money as Mikky, he's not worth it, I'd pay him 50/60k a week tops in a new deal. Having said that I do hope he signs soon, he's been a great player for us.
