I think you need two strikers and sell Heskey;). I would perhaps try and bring in a LB since Bouma has left so there is cover for Warnock even though Cuellar can play there or Luke Young if he's still at VP next season.

We'll never get rid of that useless lump :(

No-one will want him:D. Shame because in his prime he actually was a clever player.

I'm impressed with Delfouneso so he should be given more of a chance next season:).

Liverpool are said to be close to agreeing a compensation package with Fulham for Roy Hodgson but the move is not cut and dried.

Whilst the Fulham boss is still the favourite to take over from Rafa Benitez it is thought he wants guarantees about the club's financial future and his possible transfer funds before he completes a deal.
Liverpool remain keen for a deal to go through as soon as possible as the possibility of the England post has cropped up with the spotlight falling on Fabio Capello following the woeful campaign in South Africa culminating in Sunday's humiliation at the hands of Germany.
Meanwhile former England boss Sven Goran Eriksson is now favourite to take over at Fulham if Hodgson departs.

Manchester United Given Green Light for £17m Wing Wizard Deal: Serie A Man Sanchez Wants Old Trafford Move


Before the world cup my mate was going on about this guy saying how good he will be and hopes he comes united..
Yet again he picked a great player to talk about lol.


He said the same about Arshavin and Nasri before Arsenal bought them and vermaelen, he said dont worry about toure vermaelen will be better..

Manchester United are reportedly considering offering Brazilian youngster Anderson in a deal that would bring Paris Saint Germain Stéphane Sessègnon to Old Trafford. The 26 year old Benin international has become a target for the best clubs across Europe after demanding a move away from the Parc des Princes and Sir Alex Ferguson is apparently a big fan of the all purpose midfielder.

Having seen Anderson put in a very sub standard season as well as upsetting the boss by making an authorized trip back to his homeland and is apparently a player who could be heading for the Old Trafford exit and he just so happens to be a target of the Ligue 1 side leaving many to put two and two together.

Both players are thought to be valued at around the same price of around £10-12m. The former Le Mans man can play anywhere across the midfield and even as an attacking player in the hole behind a striker so could be of good use to Ferguson

Joe Cole wants to sort out his club future sooner rather than later after claiming an unhappy final season at Chelsea was down to "political rather than footballing reasons".

Cole was "devastated" after England's World Cup campaign came to and end via a 4-1 reversal against Germany in Bloemfontein.

But now he wants to turn his attention to where he will be playing next season after the end of his spell at Stamford Bridge.

Inter Milan and Arsenal are amongst the clubs being linked with a move for Cole.

Cole said: "I want to get my future sorted as quickly as possible.

"My season for Chelsea wasn't great for what I believe were political reasons rather than footballing reasons.

"Carlo Ancelotti, I love him, I've got big respect for him. I don't want to go on into it now. It isn't the time.

"It is not financial and it is nothing to do with Carlo. I love Carlo. I think he is a top guy and a top manager.

"I loved my time at Chelsea, I love the fans but it is a story for another day and I will tell it but now is not the time."

Cole added: "I want to have a couple of weeks off, want to sort my future out as soon as possible, go on holiday with my family.

"Next season I want to have a fantastic season for England and whatever club I am out.

"The next contract I sign will be a footballing decision. I want to play in a more central position.

"I want a manager who has faith in me and I'm talking about club football here.

"It is a big decision for me and my family but I'm open to anything at the moment.

"I have purposely not spoken to anyone while I've been here because that wouldn't be fair on England.

"My phone has been turned off but now I want to sort it all out."

Chelsea are being linked with a move for Uruguayan hot shot Luis Suarez after he took his World Cup tally to three against South Korea.

Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti is known to be a fan of the Ajax goal machine and is thought to be looking for a more youthful alternative to his current ageing striking duo of Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka.
Manchester United, AC Milan and Juventus are all apparently keen on Suarez but with Roman Abramovich reportedly ready to spend big this summer Chelsea could well lead the race for his signature.
Valued at around £22m, the striker netted an amazing 49 goals in 48 games last term and that included 12 goals in European competition thus proving his ability to do well at the highest level and not just the relatively average Dutch league.
The Blues were reportedly close to signing him last year before the deal collapsed at a late stage.


49 goals in 48 games lol.

Manchester City are apparently lining up a shock move for Aston Villa pair Gabriel Agbonlahor and James Milner as Roberto Mancini looks to reshape his Eastlands squad. The Italian boss is hoping to bring in many new names so as to give his side the look of a team he has brought in rather than keeping faith with those signed by previous City managers.

Talks appear to be under way to nab England winger Milner but more heartache could hit the midlands club as Martin O’Neill attempts to keep striker Gabriel Agbonlahor from being tempted by a big salary and the potential for an arguably more realistic hope of Champions League football.

Both England men are also hoping to secure regular international starts and may feel that they could garner more attention at the City of Manchester Stadium. A projected bid of around £44m is apparently set to be made and whilst Randy Lerner may well turn down such a move he and O’Neill may find it hard to prevent the pair from having their heads turned by such interest.

Eidur Gudjohnsen is poised to join Fulham unless Tottenham intervene either to extend his loan deal or sign him permanently from French club Monaco.

Gudjohnsen has been left in limbo at White Hart Lane despite the club’s promise to thrash out a new deal if they qualified for the Champions League.

The Icelandic striker has become increasingly frustrated by the situation, prompting Fulham, Stoke and Blackburn to tempt him to leave and sign for them instead.

Chairman Daniel Levy has refused to sign off the deal for the former Bolton, Chelsea and Barcelona star while Tottenham attempt to off-load some key squad players including Robbie Keane.

While Gudjohnsen was happy to remain at Tottenham and has ruled out a return to Monaco, unless there is a significant movement in the next few weeks he is likely to review his position.

And Fulham, finalists in the Europa League this season, are favourites to secure his signature. (Daily Mirror)

It had looked like Harry Redknapp was close to securing a permanent deal for the Icelandic attacker but that deal was not done and Fulham are eager to pick up one hell of a bargain. The 31 year old vastly experienced performer showed what he was capable of during his loan spell at White Hart Lane last term during which time his cameo appearances helped cement the north London sides place in the top four.

If Tottenham are not quick to act they will lose out on a player who would be ideal to have around during their historic Champions League campaign, after all the former Barcelona man has a winners medal of his own to prove his undoubted worth.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is ready to offer £20 million for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan.

The Mirror says Redknapp is ready to spend £20m to bring Forlan to Tottenham.

The Spurs boss is desperate to add a top class striker to his squad to spearhead a Champions League campaign next season, and has persuaded chairman Daniel Levy to sanction a big money move this summer.

Forlan turned down a move to Spurs last summer but the Uruguayan is now thought be keen on a switch to White Hart Lane now the club can offer European football.

Despite winning the Europa League last term Atletico Madrid are struggling with their finances and may be tempted to sell Forlan so they can hang on to their prized asset Sergio Aguero.

Barcelona enter Ozil race to block move to Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City


After another stunning World Cup performance by German playmaker Mesut Ozil , the race has intensified for his signature, with Barcelona entering the running.

According to Spanish reports, Barcelona Manager Josep 'Pep' Guardiola wants to stop the 21-year-old Werder Breman player from joining Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City , deeming all three to be potential close rivals on the European stage.

And according to Sport, Barcelona are looking to use Aliaksandr Hleb as a bargaining chip for Ozil,

Arsenal are interested in Ozil - an IMScouting Player-to-Watch all of two years ago - as a potential replacement for want-away captain Cesc Fabregas , while Manchester City were linked with the then-£20million-rated man in April.

Related: 'How much is that Ozil in the window?'

Chelsea, meanwhile, are said to have been tracking Ozil for two years and made tentative enquiries about his availability.

Ozil has so far refused to sign an extension to his Werder Bremen contract, which has a year to run.

Reports are coming in that striker Eduardo da Silva has been told by manager Arsène Wenger that he is surplus to requirements at the club.

The Brazilian, who plays for Croatia, did not have a good season with the club as he struggled to recover from several niggly injuries.

Featuring mainly as a substitute, the 27-year-old has not scored in 12 appearances.

With new signing Marouane Chamakh likely to be the preferred partner for main man Robin van Persie in attack, it leaves Eduardo with very limited opportunities at a club that has stood by him as he recovered from a career-threatening injury suffered in 2008.

Eduardo enjoyed a rich vein of form before his injury, proving himself to be most natural finisher at the club.

Dudu, as he is affectionately known by Arsenal fans, has reportedly said that if he was to move, it would preferably be to a European side, rather than remaining in the Premier League.



Dont know why but i like him and dont want him to leave i still think he has much to show.

Arsenal and Spurs are set to make their respective moves for Joe Cole as he is now keen to get his future sorted out.

Cole is wanted by both North London giants now that his contract at Chelsea is over and, following a disappointing World Cup, he is hoping to get his future sorted out as quickly as possible.

Arsene Wenger and Harry Redknapp look to be the pair ready to battle it out for his services after Manchester United apparently ruled themselves out of a move for the player.

Cole said: "I want to get my future sorted as quickly as possible.

"I want to have a couple of weeks off, want to sort my future out as soon as possible, go on holiday with my family.

"Next season I want to have a fantastic season for England and whatever club I am out.

"The next contract I sign will be a footballing decision. I want to play in a more central position.

"My phone has been turned off but now I want to sort it all out."

Good work Ben!:).

Luis Fabiano has rejected a move to Spurs in favour of Man Utd or AC Milan.. me thinks he will end up at the San Siro as he nearly ended up there next season!.

Fingers crossed Nottingham Forest come back up to the PL:cool:.

Aston Villa have 'shown interest' in South Korea international Cho Yong-Hyung, according to his agent.

Also The Sun claims that they have agreed to sell Milner to Man City for £25 million.

Still can't believe Japan lost out in the very last minute. :/

David Silva joins Manchester City on a 5 year deal from Valencia for £28 million.

Will play two seasons, get frustrated and be signed by barcelona

Yes once the novelty of the money wears off:hugesmile:.. maybe he's got the two Manchester sides confused, he'll say it's always been his dream to play for them, which is what players say nowadays when they transfer:joker:.

Everton have had a £900,000 bid accepted for Strasbourg striker Magaye Gueye and are interested in Germany defender Arne Friedrich.

Sportsmail revealed Everton's bid for Gueye on Tuesday and the France U21 international will sign a three-year contract on Thursday.

He said: 'I was over the moon when I heard that Everton had agreed a fee with my club. I was so happy and I am looking forward to developing in the best league in the world.'
Meanwhile, Everton and Sunderland are leading the contingent of Barclays Premier League clubs chasing Germany defender Friedrich.

The 31-year old is available at a knockdown fee of £2million, after Hertha Berlin reluctantly agreed to sell him, in the wake of their relegation from the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg have had a £1m bid rejected.
But Friedrich said: 'There have been offers from England, and I am totally open to the idea of moving to the Premier League.'


I'm happy Moysey is looking at another defender, we have enough strikers and midfield players now but Distin is still the weak link at the back imo. Just hope we can hang onto Pienaar and Arteta (rumours are he might want to go home to Spain because of his baby having sight problems) :(

I was going to mention that to you the other day Kitty about Arteta but forgot:blush:, think it might be a reluctant departure then for him...
