*Latest transfer gossip...

[Sorry.]

Palace have bid for Kevin Kyle (S'land), Dean Ashton (Crewe) and Tore Andre Flo (spain, forget where).

Dowie seems determined to get a good stock of lanky strikers in... it'll be Kevin Francis next.

I'd be interested to see how Dean Ashton does in the prem - he's been highly rated for a while now and I've seen him play some impressive stuff

Gronkjaer to Birmingham - deal has been signed apparently

So that's Izzet, Heskey and now Jesper. If he can get Emile to score that's the makings of a very decent team.

He's looked ok for Crewe when I've seen him... whether he'd step up is hard to say, especially in a team that's unlikely to be scoring dozens.

I'd rate Kevin Kyle better on evidence I've seen... pretty limited to be fair but I'd say he's surprisingly handy for such a tall get.

I'm kind of hoping Gerrard moves too.

Van de Vaart or Ballack to Man Utd

 

[kained&able]

man utd laughed at the idea of van de vaart


good to see dean ashton get a move to the prem. he is a player thats been talked about for ages.

Marcus Bent is in talks with Everton & Pompey. £450,000, up to him who he signs for according to Joe Royle.

As an Everton fan, I'm really excited about this

 

[Sorry.]

excellent. Prima donna arsehole off the wage book

 

[JTG]

Can't be arsed starting a thread elsewhere so I'll post here.

Rovers just went mental and signed three players today including Jamie Forrester (yeah, that one). Strange as Radio Bristol were reporting only a couple of days ago that he had decided to stay at Hull and wasn't coming anywhere near Bristol. This is also about the third attempt at signing him in as many years and it's finally paid off.

We also signed Paul Trollope (a Welsh international no less) and Craig Disley from Mansfield who appears to believe leaving the Stags for the Gas is an upwardly mobile thing to do. Can I have some of those drugs please?

Anyway, a chance to not recognise half our team just as I was getting used to the old lot. Happens every bloody year these days.

He got more for Leicester than Roon got for us last year.

Meanwhile, we're losing Roon.

Could be a good trade.

TBH, for the money he's a good signing. WSAG were saying we're thinking about Earnshaw as well but really, much as I think both are decent players, Radzinski and Roon replaced by Earnshaw and Bent? Don't think so.

 

[flimsier]

Yeah, me too, and then there's Grav to replace.

I was optimistic when last season ended. Not now.

 

[Iam]

Not exactly news, but I love this quote in the Graun...

Mark Viduka. Boro. Today. £40,000-a-week. Tears.

 

[CK1977]

Hatem Trabelsi, Arsenal have apparently agreed a deal with Ajax for Hatem Trabelsi, I hope this is true, cos this guy is absolutely quality.

Paul Trollope has a very reasonable left foot. Played at Palace for a while...

...as did Marcus Bent, who I think is a skillful player. He's often unpopular with fans though.

 

[kained&able]

Jole cole and geremi to spurs is a rumour i have hard a few people saying and it appeared on ceefax the otherday.

geremi i wouldn't be shocked about leaving. Joe wouldn't go to spurs would he though?????

[mrkikiet]

milner and nicky butt to the toon. happier about milner. now we need to lose some midfielders, what do you think, robert, viana, dyer?
rumours abound as to beattie's whereabouts as well, numerous chip shop and departure lounge sightings....

 

[mrkikiet]

kluivert to the toon.
lets link us with every semi-decent striker available.

 

[J77]

Well, Viduka's gone to Boro for 4.5M.

 

[Diamond]

Ronaldo to Spurs apparently. Always wanted to play English football and wants to link up with Arnesen....

I'm saying wait until he does his homework on 'one of the biggest clubs in Europe', no chance.

It's that time again isn't it!? Who's next to go to Tottenham? Nedved? Owen? Gerrard?

 

[J77]

Hasselbaink to join Viduka at Boro' - expect confirmation later today.

 

[Elpenor]

'Beanpole Striker', as he's often referred to in the papers, Peter Crouch, returns to the South Coast, to Saints for £2 million...

confirmation has arrived. the press conference was just on skysports news.

 

[J77]

'Beanpole Striker', as he's often referred to in the papers, Peter Crouch, returns to the South Coast, to Saints for £2 million...

He's lean, he's mean, he's a freaky goal machine. Peter Crouch, Peter Crouch

Should've signed for Norwich the semi-Judas

 

[Balbi]

'Beanpole Striker', as he's often referred to in the papers, Peter Crouch, returns to the South Coast, to Saints for £2 million...

he's going to get a lovely reception at fratton park next season. JUDAS!!!!

Oh yes, news.

Pompey agree deals for Lomana Lua Lua, David Unsworth and Ricardo Fuller.



god bless harry redknapp

 

[g force]

Carlton Cole has joned Villa on a one-year loan deal.

 

[Sorry.]

is Lua Lua an extension to last season's loan?

 

[flimsier]

David Unsworth

I hope Moyes knows what he's doing.

 

[mrkikiet]

is Lua Lua an extension to last season's loan?

no, it's a full on signing now. so he can score loads more vital goals against us.

beattie to the toon refuses to go away and there is some serious speculation on Big Als future now

 

[Sorry.]

eek - I reckon that's an error, Lua-Lua's good. How much?

What kind of speculation is that on Shearer? I can't imagine he'd play for anyone else. I don't think Beattie would be a particularly brilliant signing.
