*Latest transfer gossip...

[jd]

Palace have signed Ivan Kaviedes, Ecuadorian hothead and wunderkind. Also in for his fellow Ecuadorian, charmingly nicknamed "the knife".

Woodgate to Real for 14.5 mil. Im gutted

Bye bye any defensive strength we had. Although its an offer that cant be refused, esp since he misses so many games with injury.

 

[Elpenor]

That much for a perpetually injured player is a huge amount. In fact it's a huge amount for any defender.

 

[Balbi]

Portsmouth sign ricardo fuller for what appears to be twenty quid, pay as you play deal.

Hoorah!

We should have gotten rid of that jumped-up little shit Dire - um - Dyer!

Gallas or King to possibly replace Woody. Can any of you Chelski or Spurs fans testify if either are any good i.e. in the same league as Woody (strength, presence, leadership, good reader of the game, distribution etc....?)

 

[kained&able]

i've heard huth to replace woodgate.

i very much doubt chelsea would sell gallas.

[Sorry.]

We've offered Counago a free transfer, in the vain hope that someone will take his £20k a week wage bill off our hands. I suspect we'll probably split the difference with anyone who wants him, and pay off the other half of his contract. Anyone who signs him is - IMO - getting a fantastic player if they get his head right.

 

[kained&able]

carrick is officially at spurs! undisclosed fee but should be about 3-3.5 million.

Ledleeeey King to replace Woodgate, £8m should do it, had Shearer in his back pocket today, not hard

 

[Stavrogin]

snuh, unlikely - King loves tottenham and I don't think there's much to be gained by going up north - this newcastle season is liable to be a total right-off, what with Bobby and shearer leaving come the summer - anyone thinking of joining them had better wait....


Spurs apparently in for Reid again - I say this because Reid had major talks with his chairman and Kinnear says the reason was to discuss the spurs bid and where everything stands...

 

[Stavrogin]

oops missed your valuation - King will cost £20m+ - reason being that spurs don't want or have to sell and this is the amount floated to chelsea

he's not worth £20m objectively - but at this point, all things considered, that's how much he's worth to tottenham

Newcastle's chairman has said he thinks fans will be pleasantly surprised with Woodgate's replacement - but it will be very difficult for them to find someone who is available who is as good as Woodgate

Apparantly it's Rooney, thats an interesting one.

Why we would even think about signing the fat git (who is NOT, repeat NOT the white Pele....scoring V the Swiss....really?!) Gallas, some bloke from Cardiff and Matt Dawson, who is linked with everyone!

Another rumour doing the rounds is it's Calum Davenport.

newcastle 20millioon roony bid has benn rejected.

[twistedAM]

Apparently they're going to make a new offer. Also Mr Rich Russian is NOT interested in investing 20 mills in Everton.

 

[Sorry.]

Rangers asked to take Pablo Counago on trial, but the Spaniard wasn't interested. "A trial? do they know who I am?" he might have said if someone had asked him and he was in a tactless mood.

Celtic also linked.

 

[Stavrogin]

Spurs back in for Reid - he didn't play in the cup match and Kinnear says he ready to cut a deal for him

 

[Corax]

Yay! I'd rather him than Figo, that's f'sure.

 

[Stavrogin]

Bad news!

Forest want Johnnie Jackson - looks like a deal could be done soon

also, Spurs in for Tevez!!! You couldn't make it up! (oh wait, someone did)

 

[Stavrogin]

Spurs in for Tevez...

Charlton in for Saviola?

Bonkers...

http://www.sublimefootball.com/article.php?artid=4143

Tevez is an animal - look at his teeth!

 

[Corax]

It's a confusing time for Spurs fans...

We keep on signing half-decent players, wtf is that about?

 

[bang]

charlton for saviola?? teehee
i wouldn't like to see michael brown leave, we need midfield scrappers
how good is reid??
is he better than etherington??i'd like to see him back at spurs
i am a bit concerned about this spending spree, ok a "share issue" raised the money but i hope the board haven't got a touch of Risdaleitis..

 

[Stavrogin]

I think Reid will be great but I don't want Brown to go either - and he probably won't want to go having finally got into the prem and having played well

Johnnie Jackson will probably go if Forest want him though

 

[Corax]

Hm, don't want Brown to go. Didn't realise that was part of the deal.

Jackson's got a future, but he'll be better off at Forest.

 

[trickytree23]

Seems certain spurs will sell jackson following carricks signature...

 

[Stavrogin]

says in the mail that Kinnear wanted Brown and another player (jackson, I presume) but Spurs refused to let brown go...

Forest really ballsed up here - Dear old Pleat offered them £5m + Ricketts but they wanted £10m... now, having alienated both Tottenham and Reid they're struggling to make a £3m+ deal

This must have been one of the longest running transfers ever... I think Reid has felt like a spurs player for almost a year...

 

[Corax]

Dear old Pleat offered them £5m + Ricketts but they wanted £10m

What a muppet Pleaty was sometimes. Ricketts could turn out a quality player.

 

[Rocket Romano]

Newcastle have 2nd bid for Callum Davenport rejected.

Bobby on the phone to his old assistant Jose 'Do you Know Who I Am?' Mourinho to see if anyone's up for a loan deal

 

[Sorry.]

Charlton have £3m bid for Darren Bent rejected. Are apparently now going to look elsewhere.

It's fucking astonishing that we're in a position to turn down that sort of money ...
