Football Rumours

21 June 2008
Darius Charles [Brentford - Ebbsfleet] Loan
Ross Clark [Alloa - Dumbarton] Free
Raymond Logan [Pollok - Dumbarton] Undisclosed

Arsenal look set to lose Adebayor, Rosicky and Hleb. Wenger may even look to sell Gallas, with Toure and Fabregas in contention for the captaincy. Wenger will look to bring in Croatian forward Olic for £10.5 million with the some of the money from Adebayor to partner Robin Van Persie although he is also after Klaas Jan Huntelaar (also a target for Real Madrid). Bendtner will be the third choice forward until Eduardo returns. If Gallas is stripped of the captaincy, he may put in a transfer request in which case Wenger will sell and bring in Vincent Kompany.






Aston Villa will resign in their efforts to hang on to Gareth Barry with Liverpool finalising the move next week. Villa will replace him with Steve Sidwell while Pasqual Chimbonda will arrive for £4 million. Villa are also chasing Liverpool duo Yossi Benayoun and Scott Carson and Chelsea's Wayne Bridge and Shaun Wright–Phillips.





Florent Malouda will be leaving Chelsea this Summer with Juve set to snap up the French winger.






Manchester City are considering an audacious swoop for Everton's Tim Cahill if they fail in their efforts to bring in Ronaldinho. The Jo transfer will happen despite problems with ownership but it may drag on until August. Mark Hughes will also bring in Benni McCarthy from Blackburn and will bid for David Bentley, although the latter is keen about Champions League football and Liverpool.






Sir Alex Ferguson will resign to losing Cristiano Ronaldo in a fortnight and a fee of around £48 million + Sergio Ramos will complete the deal.
Ramos will slot in at right back for United alongside Vidic, Ferdinand and Evra in defense. Gary Neville will be spared but even if free of injury will have to settle for the bench.
Ronaldo will be replaced by 25 year old French winger Franck Ribery although he is currently injured. Ferguson will beat Chelsea to the signing and will offer £26 million + either Louis Saha or Mikael Silvestre for the talented France star.

Jermaine Pennant could be heading to Newcaste in a straight swap for James Milner.

West Bromwich are considering offering Harry Kewell a contract at the Hawthorns but the Aussie winger will have to take a 50 percent paycut in joining the newly promoted Premier League side. Wigan and Tottenham are also interested in the Aussie winger.

NUfc rumours, No "my dads sisters husbands Uncle is a groundsman at. " I have it on good authority that Newcastle will sell to sign the following players

Sell
Smith – £4 million (Rangers or Wigan)
Shola – £2.8 million (Norwich, pretty much sealed)
Carr – free – to whatever "lucky club" wants him
Cacapa – £1.5 million – (Nice)
Milner: ( – £9.5 million + guthrie – (Liverpool)
Given – £6 million – (Arsenal)


In's
Gomis – £10.5 million – (st ettienne)
Arda – £12 million – (galatasarey could higher the price because arda has had a gr8 euro and also Arsenal are ready to rival the toon)
Arshavin/Diego – 11 million, if NUfc fail to bring in Arshavin they will turn to original target Diego who they targeted before they lost out on modric.
Zherkov – £5 million (zennit) Keegan likes this attack minded LB.
Boruc – £8 million (Celtic) NUfc may lose given to Arsenal so Boruc is the back up if this happens
Spears – 500 k (Plymouth)
mcgeedy – £6 million (Celtic)

Other possibilities are Emana, however he has stated he wants to move to Spain. Also croatia lb pranjic is another possible target as are Zigic and pablo Aimar. The lack of defenders linked is a huge worry.

To all the West Bromwich fans who are moaning about the club not signing Paddy McCourt, I have it on good authority that the real reason was due to the new owner of club not wishing to be associated with low inadequate signings. The talks are at an advanced stage and the new unamed owner, made it clear to the chairman Mr Peace that the quality of players that will come in to the club will be of a standard much higher that what the club have been used to. Due to the chnge of ownership being so close the new owner insists in being kept informed of all possible signings. Money for new players will not be an issue.

Informantion straight from the horses mouth
Martin Bain has told me of the following players the Rangers are gunning for.
Kyle Lafferty – Done deal should sign today
Paul Robinson – Straight swap for McGregor
Noel Hunt – Walter sees him as a good wide man in the spl
Zander Diamond – Impressive displays against us could see him arrive
Juninho – Looking to end his career outside of France and was impressed with our displays in Europe
Lillian Thuram – Like Juninho, looking to finnish with the bears
