Reid on the Rampage

Andy Reid said:
"A full international like Danny Murphy has just gone from Liverpool to Charlton for about £2.5m and Michael Carrick has joined Spurs for £3m.

"Nicky Butt went from Manchester United to Newcastle for less than £3m and he is in the current England team.

"So it's a bit ridiculous for Forest to be looking for that sort of money for a player like me, who has never played in the Premiership.

"I'm frustrated. I think the handling of the situation has been very poor."


Poor Reid

Unlike the ancient regime Arnesen will not pay over the odds for anyone - if they price Reid out of the market he'll just go elsewhere - he can find players anywhere - even those that haven't played a first team game for their club
 
turns out that we probably aren't in a position to turn down that sort of money. Curbishley will make another bid after the weekend, which more than likely will be accepted (apparently we initially accepted £3m and later changed our minds, JR making a fuss I'll bet).

So as of next week Charlton will have a new striker, Jonaten Johansson will be off to Norwich and Joe Royle will have a little money to spend badly.
 
Spurs in again for Reid...

but it looks like they're not convinced they're going to get him in time...

The uber-youngster Reto Ziegler's move has been brought forward from january - Grasshopper Zurich have allowed him to move now

he's a left wing back so I assume he can play in a forward position on the flank - he's only 18 though
 
Calumn Davenport signs from Coventry - apparently he's going to be loaned out immediately to West Ham as some kind of thing we owe them from the Carrick deal

Didn't the FA ban that type of deal?
 
It'll be interesting to see how Rob Earnshaw does in the Premiership. Didn't he net over 30 for Cardiff last season?

the daily ranger had 4 stories today about yorke signing for celtic and how hed adapt to life in the SPL...
numpties!
 
Spurs have snuck in the signing of the legendary Spase Dilevski - known throughout the football world for his cool name

Celtic are about to sign Dwight Yorke

WHy the cunting fuck are we going to sign Dwight Yorke?!? :mad:

Nope IJ - He's joined Birmingham City - with Yorke being an Ex Villa player i wonder what the Brummie Blues fans will think of this?
 
Owen Hargreaves claims he will try and resurrect his move to tottenham in january...

I say: Too late - you're career is over - on the plus side it's never been a better time to retrain as a plummer
 
Owen Hargreaves said:
I spoke very seriously with Tottenham and liked what they had to say. I was very honoured.

There are great young players there, with Ledley King and Jermain Defoe, and I think they are really getting something started there, so who knows, maybe next time.

It's over for you

give up
 
hes a decent player but you have spent a lot of money on your midfield noow, why pay £5milllion more unless you want him to play right back i guess.

Spurs in 14million Euros move for Robinho!!!

sounds crazy but apparently Arnesen was trying to bring him to PSV for two years

but anyhow, this particular new pele is 5'4" and 8 stone - how is he going to play in the prem?
 
Kained and Unable said:
what for january????? why would you start doing a deal now????

silly idea.


dave

the word from arnesen is that we urgently needed to add some steel and strength in depth - He thinks he's done that with his 15 player haul - now he wants to add exciting/star players at his leisure

speaking of Reid he was excellent today - I hope no one gazzumps us
 
Ireland/spurs coach chris hughton says we could still be in for reid

We still want the chubby little Irish dazzler, but if he keeps scoring those goals for Ireland, big Joe is going to want at least £45m. From eleven-a-side...

Republic of Ireland and Spurs assistant coach Chris Hughton has not ruled out the possibility of the Premiership side pursuing their interest in Nottingham Forest winger Andy Reid when the transfer window reopens next January.

Reid was left frustrated after he handed in a transfer request to the championship only for nothing to happen before the transfer window closed last Tuesday.

Forest have slapped a £5 million price tag on Reid and although Spurs made to offers for the Ireland international, an agreement could not be reached, but Hughton is confident that a deal can still be struck.

"Certainly from our club’s point of view that interest is still there. In international terms he’s growing. Cyprus was his best performance for us," said Hughton.

"His confidence is high, he’s been in the squad regularly and it is showing. He is more comfortable not with just being in the group but showing his ability.

Reid scored an amazing goal for Ireland in their 3-0 win over Cyprus at Lansdowne Road last Saturday and has been a real find for Brian Kerr this year.

The 21-year-old has stressed that he will concentrate on doing his best for Forest and not let the transfer worry him in the slightest as he would rather let his talking be done on the pitch.

I don't think it's that unrealistic. Did anyone else the feature in the Observer sports monthly about him? He's not there yet but the boy obviously has talent and from the sounds of it could play - and score fuck loads of goals - in the premiership at some point.

Santos just revealed that Chelski made a c. 10 million euros approach in the summer and it was rejected out of hand

they aren't messing around - he'll go to barcelona in 2006 I reckon...

they said that after the world cup he'll be the most coveted player in the world
 
Yeah in the observer article it said they were holding out for 40 mil! Can't see that happening somehow with the transfer market how it is at the moment.
 
yeah but from chelski?!
after they win the prem this season
and i reckon they'll be at least semi finalists in the CL (depending on the draw)
abramovic HAS to give Mourinho whatever it takes to get the lad
i cant see Barca stumping up the cash
even tho- imo they'll win La Liga- especially after the 3-0 win tonite
and they're my top team to win the CL

they just dont have the cash to spare do they?- especially after this summers extraveganza
