Football Rumours

Tottenham have finally completed the signing of right back Alan Hutton from Rangers, for a fee of around £9 million.

Freddy Adu is believed to be a target for Liverpool in the summer as the American owners tom hicks and George Gillet want some American influences at Liverpool next year also it is believed he is going to be there to solve Liverpool's left side problem as Kewell and Riise are set to make way for him.

Kevin Keegan will make a surprise swoop for Danny Mills. The Newcastke boss has made him his number two target and will make a £7m bid to secure his services.

Bruno Metsu is being targeted, according to some in agent and footballing circles, as the next Southampton manager.

Apparently ex-academy coach Georges Prost recommended him to the Southampton board, and Saints' are giving him serious consideration as a possible replacement for George Burley.

For those of you who don't know who Metsu is, he managed Senegal in World Cup 2002.

George Burley is the new Scotland boss!

I am a good friend of one of newcastle head coaching staff (unfortunately i cant say) and he tells me Shearer will be assistant manager within the next 24 hours. Phillip Albert, Steve Howey, Warren Barton and Robert Lee will all be joining Kevs back room staff in a big to bring back "The Entertainers". He will replace 20% of his coaching staff with these coaches.
Newcastle are in talks with the following:

Dimitar Berbatov (Spurs) (£13m)
Mohammed Zidan (26, Egyptian talent) (Hamburg) (7m)
Balazs Dzsudzsak (4m) (Huge Talent from Hungary, currantly pays for PSV)
Fernando Menegazzo (6m) (Brazilian internatial, plays for Bordeaux)
Barry Robson (1.5m) (Scottish International from Dundee Utd
Michael Thwaite (2m) (24 year old Australian defender from Wisła Krakow)
So far Kev has only been in talks with these players!

It is not certain that these players will be signed in this January transfer window but THERE IS NO DOUBT they will be at Newcastle by the start of next season.

Despite numerous pleads from UEFA to try and bring the champions league final to smaller contries it now seems they are taking a new tactic.
UEFA officials have announced that the minimum seating capacity is to be increased dramatically meaning that only a very small number of stadiums will be eligible to bid for the finals. Among the stadiums that will miss out is Hampden Stadium, home to Queen of the South which held a very successful final last year.

Former Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier will this week be offered the Republic of Ireland manager's position.

Keegan is set to approach Alan Shearer and offer him a job at Newcastle, but he has revealed that the pair may need to resolve some differences first.

Celtic also aim to tie up a £1m deal for American international goalkeeper Brad Guzman.
