Walsall fc are debating making a bid for Middlesborough striker/ winger ledesma and stoke midfielder cuvelier after there recent windfall from paterson and grigg sales. Could be a possibility if there available at a low price and its walsall fc 125 anniversary so want to show some ambition
Why would Ledesma drop down a league to go back to Walsall?
Ledesma deal is not true, Mowbray sees him firmly in this season plans
Relax many Walsall supporters do not want Ledesma back as he does not fit into the side anymore, we need strikers not midfielders, come on saddlers
Cuvelier will be in Stokes squad plans next season, very bright prospect. don't see him leaving Stoke
I really hope flo co will be playing for stoke this season.
Florent is hoping to impress Hughes but if not will go on loan to championship side. He is settled in Stoke and does not want move
Cause stoke is miles from Walsall not
No offence but you have no idea if he is settled and doesn't want to move. Can't see Hughes letting him go, however.

chaplow on his way back to burnley, millwall were on the verge of signing him until burnley came in for him, utc
It would'nt 'SURPRISE' me! SHAME if this does happen, but move on SL will find someone else!
Rubbish chaplow will join millwall, as sl has sold his plans to him we're going for attacking football and chaplow will be a regular in his plan. plus we can afford his wages, burnley can't!
I hope not?!
Welcome home Chappy!
Ok if I wrong so be it. I posted the op, nowt against the wall but that is what I am told
Please let Millwall be his destination. Overrated first time round at Burnley purely on the basis of his home town status, done little in his career that makes him a worthwhile punt.
It's all gone 'quiet' on the millwall sites! what's 'happening'? i wonder? coyl
Still say at the wages Chaplow will be a luxury, he did play well true, but we have a number of wide players now, especially if it is true, DNG will play wide, that is Henry, Feeney, Martin and DNG, as well as Malone, who didn't do that bad there and Woolford, I know this is boring. But the wage Bill, we have potentially 6 wide players all drawing wages, do we need another?
"Please let Millwall be his destination. Overrated first time round at Burnley purely on the basis of his home town status, done little in his career that makes him a worthwhile punt. "
Great player just what burnley are missing, an attacking midfielder who makes things happen. The above post is a typical blinkered burnley fan. we could sign Messi and still some Burnley fans would complain he was too small!
Woolford, Malone and DNG can all go too free up some space on the wage bill.
Easily solved get shot of malone, dng, woolford, all three no more than bench warmers or playing in the stiffs, none can really change a game or make an impact and as for malone doing ok on the wing are you sure! you need therapy my lad! chaplow worth all three players wages put together!
Missed the point again, before Morisson came in Batt went. Before Bywater came in Mildenhall went. Do you get the pattern. Also Wilkinson and Taylor leaving left room for Martin. So I would love Chaplow, until you see movement out probably not going to happen. Malone and Woolford would not go to lge 1, unless someone was going to pay the wages. So will they go. Amber is not such a mug, he as the rules summed up, so where are the palyers you want rid of going, don't see Managers queing for them do you?
To missed the point - Wilkinson agreed to sign for Bolton in April, Taylor turned down a contract extension around the end of the season and Mildenhall's contract wasn't extended at the end of the season. Doesn't really fit your convenient pattern.
They all left, before new players came in was my point, so before new players come in, someone will leave. The pattern is not convenient but matches the financial situation of Millwall. I know many would like the Lions to break the bank and end up in Administration, I prefer the slow incremental steps as it happens, one of the wage bill, and one in.

Shrewsbury are lining up another friendly with a foreign team. most likely to be a French or German team. Not announced who yet but believed to be Toulouse.
I know it's not a transfer rumour but I thought I would share it anyway
Need to sign players not friendlies
We are in talks with several clubs and players. The transfer window hasn't even been open a week yet. Keep the faith!
Wouldnt be at all surprised if by the end if next week we will have signed 3 or more players
06 Jul 2013 10:18:34
Rumours are that Bradley Wright-Phillips will join Walsall FC in trinidad in the next few days, he is currently in new york with the red bulls. Wright-Phillips would be perfect for Walsall as they play a nice smooth passing game and he would be able to improve and develop at the club
Apparently the deal with walsall is almost done and he will sign for them when they return from their Trinidad tour
06 Jul 2013 19:57:51
I have also heard he will be joining Walsall. Decent replacement for there last seasons top scorer Will Grigg
06 Jul 2013 10:10:31
Bradley Wright Phillips will turn down Brentford and other clubs to sign a 3 year deal at Walsall replacing last seasons top scorer Will Grigg.
What a load of rubbish they can't afford him, he will go notts county or brentford
06 Jul 2013 09:53:21
Boro are currently working on deals for:
Wheater - Swap with Emnes
Hazard - Loan
Graham - Loan
Adomah - £1m - £1.5m
Ebanks-Blake - Free
Wheater and Graham deals dependant on McDonald leaving, club have offered to mutually terminate his contract.
Adomah money to come from sale of Rhys Williams
If we sell Williams then we won't have a defence!
06 Jul 2013 09:50:53
Derby have enquired for the availability of Coventry defender Cyrus Christie. City are in no position to demand a fee and Clough believes he can get the RB/CB for under a mil. Bargain at his age.
According to the daily star Huddersfield Town are also interested. Same 2 teams wanting the same player. Let's hope like Vaughan, he joins the terriers
We gave up on Vaughan. Wanted too long to make a decision (holiday I think) so we chased Russell instead. So, technically, we weren't really head-to-head with Huddersfield.
I don't think we (derby) would be desperate to sign him unless Brayford goes. Would supruse me if he went Hudds
Hope Keogh has a word. :-)
Fair play to Christie for going to another club any play under contract at the minute can't wait to get out if the club.
Sad to see him go, he'll probably make a very good 1st division player very quickly.
06 Jul 2013 09:50:34
Swansea have made a firm enquiry for Blackburn striker Jordan Rhodes.
No thanks. The Swans are not going to pay over the odds for a championship benchwarmer
06 Jul 2013 09:40:04
Alan Gow to move to Bristol Rovers next week.
06 Jul 2013 09:27:30
Ipswich table offer for bartz gk said to be 1 million of notts county
Town interested but won't be paying a million for him.
More like 100k plus addons!
£1 million! Ha! We won't be paying that much money for any single player this season. That's for sure.
Well you won't be getting hm then
He's got to be worth 1m+ in today's market. clubs like Ipswich take the mick because he plays in league one now but they clearly know he will strengthen their team. but don't want to pay.
The fellow pole is worth so much more then 100k so don't come that rubbish! He is worth 1m easy! He will smash the championship and belongs in the prem! If Bart goes then all the best but notts need to make some lolly on him! Hope he stays as he's quality but spies is on his trail, he's quick sharp and good reflexes that's why man united was looking at the boy! Coyp!!
Don't want him anyway much better players then him
He'll be good cover to the much better Loach.
2nd keeper for an average league one side, 100k maximum.
We are trailing 2-3 different keepers at tjein and already have 1 of our own so its extremely unlikely we have offered a mill for one
The sale of Bartz thought to be 600K will bring BWP and Danny Haynes to the Notts line up
Im a notts fan but I have to disagree with both of you he's not worth 1million but he's worth more than a 100k i'd say being realistic 400-500k
Hes not the second keeper for us he is definitely our best keeper and worth much more than 100k
I don't think Mick will want to pay that much for a possible third choice-keeper, especially now it looks like Dean Gerken is closing in on a contract at Town.
06 Jul 2013 09:14:42
Blackpool have offered kevin mcdonald of sheffield united a contract but looks like he's stayin where he is at the moment, a few others also interested
How can they offer him a contract when he's still under contract at united? Unless your saying we have accepted an offer or Blackpool are going behind the clubs back?
06 Jul 2013 08:45:03
Middlesbrough ins
David wheater ( Bolton )
Thorgen hazard ( Chelsea )
Albert adomah ( Bristol city )
Obafemi Martins ( Seattle dc )
Danny graham ( Sunderland )
Outs
Seb Hines ( hull )
Marvin emnes ( Bolton )
Scott MacDonald ( motherwell )
Oba isn't leavving seattle he loves it there and he's their top scorer so they obviously won't let him leave after just a few months and even if he did leave it wouldn't be to a championship team
If martins comes to BORO we are Premier League next season.
You won't get Wheater unless we sign Dawson! Hazard has gone back to Belgium. I seriously doubt that Dougie is interested in Emnes at the kind of prices Boro want for him, he's not worth that much. There are better wingers out there, we have been linked with Raheem Sterling and Kerim Frei with loan moves, younger and hungrier!
Why would hull buy hines who is injured until late 2013.
Obafemi Martins just signed for Seattle Sounders so not happening. The others are likely but doubt Hines will go to Hull and how can Motherwell pay his wages?
Seb Hines isn't moving an inch.
Highly doubt martins
Wheater been offered a new deal at Bolton.
Because Middlesbrough can afford them signings? Wages + transfer fee! Don't be silly!
Seb hines won't go to hull. we already have enough defenders, and need strikers. anyway, he ain't good enough for prem imo
It would have been if we'd paid that much for him
Hines is only good enough for L1/2. So Hull will not sign him. The rest are pure conjecture. Nobody knows how much money Boro have to spend and whether Macdonald is going or not but only Gibson can answer that one and he ain't speaking. So expect nothing and anything else is extra. I think the 'class' players will need to be loans.
Bolton fans/people say that Wheaters been offered a new contract, doesn't mean to say he'll accept it though.
Boro fans/people are saying Middlesbrough are planning to bid to buy Wheater back. It doesn't mean the bid will be accepted!
06 Jul 2013 08:27:16
West ham update
Forgt zapeta or bony, hammes real forward targets are a loans for duelofeu from barca and remy from qpr.
Duelofeu would be straight Season loan and we are in pole position over spurs and Everton as we can offer regular first team football. Remy will be a loan with option to buy at around £5 million.
Expect other deals for sane at £3 million and a box to box midfielder as yet unconfirmed, but rumoured to be an exciting youngster from holland? I think his may be fer, but that is a pure guess!
Come on you irons.
You have no money. And the only players alladice will by are 6-7 foot strikers for a game of smash it up field and hope for the best.
06 Jul 2013 06:57:17
Huddersfield looking at an outside chance of landing Sean Morrison again from Reading.
As a Huddersfield fan, I would be happy to see him join the terriers but I don't think we will get him which is a shame.
Why am I not surprised
If by outside you mean no then I completely agree
Not a chance! He's just broken into the first 11 at Reading who are much more ambitious than bottom half team Huddlesfield!
06 Jul 2013 12:58:06
this guy must have had a good sleep last night, cause the only way youll be getting him is in your dreams
Morrison
He would jump at the chance to come back to Huddersfield whatch it happen
Town fan from Reading
{Ed029's Note - He proved last season he can be a big player here, and he impressed at times in the PL. If he leaves it will be for a top end Champ side minimum, not Huddersfield. Also the club can't afford to lose a centre-back.
06 Jul 2013 15:55:34
How do you know hudds won't be a top end champ side next season. Would have been v. close to play-offs had Beckford stayed fit last year. as for not being ambitious - you are having a laugh. One of the best run and ambitious clubs in the league and one of the few with a chance of satisfying ffp. There is a big diff between suicidal spending and ambition.
Well said no such thing has top half and bottom half just look at the teams have gone into league 1 in the last few years ie wolves leeds sheff wed cov etc etc
Ed29. What constitutes a top end championship club? Hudds were only 10 points off playoffs! Giving it large just like Wolves & Blackburn last season & look where they finished!
{Ed029's Note - Far from giving it large and no offense meant either. Morrison proved himself here and in the PL. It's a credit to his development that a move to Hudds now would be a step backwards.
Huddersfield will finish above Reading this year so on that fact alone Huddersfield must be a top end championship club. Ed what do you make of that? {Ed029's Note - I'll have 5 pints on you being wrong. Loser has to pay up at the next meeting between the clubs. You taking that bet? I'll log your IP and pop back in May ;)
"Morrison -He would jump at the chance to come back to Huddersfield whatch it happen"
Because every player who has had a successful top flight breakthrough decides to give up being in the first 11 of a club tipped to bounce right back to sign for mid to lower championship team. I think this is very much Huddersfield fans having delusional issues.
06 Jul 2013 19:05:46
i`ve seen hudds play in front of over 40,000 at home in the 1970`s. A Reading fan will never be able to say that. 12 years in the wilderness of L1 might make you believe hudds are a small club. Trust me they are the essence of the sleeping giant. Dean hoyle is the alarm clock. {Ed029's Note - Living in the past wont win you trophies in the present. Your attendances don't suggest you're a sleeping giant either tbf. Good luck next season.
Wish peeps would stop knocking hudds, we'll be challenging soon and within 5 years reckon we'll be knocking on the premier league door! There Just jealous these fans from other clubs who know there club ain't ambitious!
06 Jul 2013 20:47:36
15, 500 average. pretty good in this financial climate. Ed. drew liverpool in fa cup in 1999 and had 100,000 applications for tickets excluding liverpool fans. Never going to make c`ship games against the likes of QPR and reading attractive to the people of hudds. The past is what defines who your club is. ask Liverpool. {Ed029's Note - I agree, so why the big club little club comments at Reading? In the 3 seasons in the PL we have always sold out our allocation each game. Away occasionally let us down (Wigan, Man City protest last season etc) In the Champ average 19k consistently. Near 15k STH's for next season. I merely pointed out if Morro was to leave he would go to a top end club (chasing auto promotion or PL club - Norwich and WBA enquired last season). Never a dig at Huddersfield. You are where we were 7 seasons ago. Building sensibly piece by piece. You'll become a PL club eventually I'm sure and then you can propel from there I'm sure.
Ed
let's make it a round £50 you can drop the money off in either Reading or Huddersfield and you won't have to wait till the end of the season as I think Reading will do a Wolves this year. {Ed029's Note - I'll take that bet. IP logged. See you Sat 29th of March ;)
Like James Vaughan, Sean enjoyed his loan spell so much and made so many good mates that he would forego a move to a 'bigger' club just to experience the Town factor again. If you watched the tv programme 'Town' you'll also appreciate why West Yorkshire is such a draw as well! {Ed029's Note - I lived in WY for 5 years. Don't tell me fibs ;)
To the guy who had ed the £50 bet, i'm a town fan through and through but no way will town end up higher than reading your deluded pal.
Nobody cares what huddersfield fc done in the 70s or during the war you have to go by the last 10 years and Reading fc have been better simples
The person who's saying reading are going to get relegated this season is a stark raving Looney. there's no chance have you seen the players they have signed or the manager they have got automatic promotion for them
Morro would never go there he loves it at reading his best mates here, the fans love him, he loves us and Adkins rates him H
Reading you sound just like Blackburn last season this hiz the hardest league to get out off many clubs in this league have spent big money for years and got knowwere they are bigger clubs in this league than reading {Ed029's Note - Agreed. Very competitive league and far more exciting than the PL in my opinion. Reading are by no means banking on an easy ride, far from it.
I think if Morrison was to leave Reading and town were still interested he'd definitely want to discuss a move here, but the fact is he's a starting 11 player for Reading so unless that changes we won't be getting him.
06 Jul 2013 02:26:06
Swansea set to sign Remy for 5m and bony for 14m with 2m add ons
Because gomis is heading to russia
Bony probably, remy no chance.
Remy and bony would be amazing together! But we couldn't afford remy wage demands
Lyon want to sell to anyone who puts in a decent offer. But Gomis has stated his move will only go through if his sporting ambition is made even if he earns less. It is the 3rd time Lyon is trying to sell him so it shows he s keen to hold his word and stay at lyon this season if no better club offers. Maybe Swansea does not have so much recognition yet and that s why he s not moved yet. No chance of course of him moving to Russia
Remy on 75k a week. He'd have to take a 40k pay drop
Or maybe Gomis is waiting till his contract ends so he can get a big fat signing on fee from someone
06 Jul 2013 17:03:42
Remy would be great so long as he doesn't go to prison!
Wages for Remy could be too much but would be a good deal for the right price.
Remy for 75K a week no way Swans.
06 Jul 2013 02:12:33
Swansea are finding it hard to agree a deal with bony club because they asking for more swansea have put a final bid in which is 14m and 2m with add ons and huw jenkins have said he will look into plan B if they miss out on bony because of his club, bony as told the club that he wants to move to swansea which he nearly agrred personal terms, wounder whos Plan B
Plan b= loic remy from qpr
06 Jul 2013 02:08:38
Tony Mowbray is keen on signing a 40 game a season defender.
Chris Baird, Chris Berra, Roger Johnson, Karl Henry and Frederic Veseli have all been discussed. - inside source
Baird is too good for that league
I will drive johnson and henry there myself berra can walk needs some exercise
06 Jul 2013 01:56:01
Middlesbrough in talks for
Danny Graham - loan with view to permanent deal.
Thorgan Hazard - loan
Chris Baird - free agent
Frederic Veseli - free agent
Carlton Cole - free agent
Coles wages will be to high for us and I can't see hazard making his way to the riverside.
06 Jul 2013 01:38:34
Bury to sign Bangor City striker Les Davies on a two year deal, similar model to Craig Jones and was longlisted for World Player of the Year 18 months ago
He's a great player is Davies. The day we went to Bangor last season to see him play, he was on fire, will be a good signing.
Have you actually seen him? I play for Newtown and yes he's a good goalscorer but absolutly no where near football league standard. Plus overweight.
06 Jul 2013 01:02:36
So, as I told you yesterday, Luton have signed Luke Guttridge. Expect that to be the end of our summer business, especially inwards, unless anything drastic comes up. Only name I've heard is Scott Doe but can't see it now after we signed Anthony Charles last week
05 Jul 2013 23:26:18
Doncaster are strongly linked with narki wells from Bradford and also Hanson from Bradford you heard it here first
Do Doncaster have £3.5-4 million for Wells? As he's worth about the same amount as Gayle that went from Peterborough to Palace. Then £1 mill for Hanson. Oh and it's Nahki not Narki. Can't see them both going to a place that struggles to attract fans week in week out.
06 Jul 2013 09:31:23
Good luck with that if Donny want to spend £2.5m plus
Lets hope they have plenty of cash then
No chance both not good enough they re ok in league 2
Haha 3. 5-4 for wells what planet you think your on? For an unproven league 1 player haha sort your head out
Do doncaster have money. Yes they do. 2 of the directors sold their share of the keepmoat company for £750million a few years back and that's before any other money they already had. Plus John Ryan has plenty. Difference is we do not go stupid with it but if they need to buy they and will
Sort your head out Donny aren't good enough for them give your head a shake and come bk when you have money to afford them
Lol. Since when do league 2 players (unproven at league 1) go for 4 million quid? Too much time on footy manager lol
Since they were as good as wells and hanson
I'd pay 4M for a decent PL forward, but for someone who is unproven at League one? Not a chance. Delusional BC fan
07 Jul 2013 07:12:53
Both played great against Swansea. Fourth tier players.
Wells is natural goal scorer and will prove it next season. If Gayle is worth 8mil then wells is worth 4 all day and night. We don't have to sell so get what we want for him. FACT
Both did well against Swansea. BC had one shot on target in 90 mins and that came from jones. Both players not for to lace Billy's boots.
Gayle wasn't worth 8M, it could potentially due to add-ons, but I think its something like 4. 5M, which I still think is ridiculous. Realistically I'd say maybe around 1M for Wells.
05 Jul 2013 23:24:53
Cresswell deal done set to be announced on Monday morning also sounds as though ex Accrington defender Mark Hughes could also join up with us really up for august got amongst the best team in the league and a number of players who will hit double figures
05 Jul 2013 23:19:28
Millwall to sign Wolves centre back Roger Johnson for a nominal fee
I would be happy if we only had to pay a nominal fee to get rid of this donkey.
Complete fantasy. Wall already have 4/5 central defenders plus he prob still on premiership wages. Another defender is far from what Millwall need.
You'll have to dig very deeply to find the funds to match his current contract and he won't move for less. Wolves are stuck with him.
Doubt it. Millwall have got 5 CBs already in Beevers, s***tu, Robinson, Osborne and Lowry.
Wages much too high for us
Same, four centre backs, until a LB comes in that willbe Lowry's position.
We need a Right, and left Back and a Midfielder imperative.
Strikers are Easter, Keough and Morrison.
Martin Left, Henry Right. No cover for Dunne and Lowry except reliable Jack Smith.
Could see Osborne in P/E by the way. let's see. Jackett knows he will not get many games if Robbo is fit.
05 Jul 2013 21:22:48
Louis dodds a target once again for sheffield united. david weir has expressed an ibtrest according to the sheffield star
Would like him to stay at Vale Park but I see his opportunities being limited with the squad MA is putting together
Really. considering Dodds has just signed a new deal with Vale and played last night in a friendly? I've just looked at the "source" - via the Sheffield Star website and can't see a single reference to it.
05 Jul 2013 21:14:56
Has any clubs shown an interest in Marco Veratti as I think he is a top class footballer with bags of potential? and on another note where has the search function gone?
05 Jul 2013 22:41:30
with kinnear looking to add more experience to the team bids on the verge of being lodged for adebayor as well as parker and bent as well as loan bids for sinclair cabaye to monaco for 28mill and the money to be used to dign williams from swansea
06 Jul 2013 00:31:42
No chance he's on stupid wages at spurs!
No chance on Williams going to Newcastle! If he does leave Swansea it will be arsenal or Liverpool
To all fellow jacks! there's a horse going in the 4. 35 at leicester named LIBERTY JACK! Get on it!
06 Jul 2013 19:30:18
In Joe Kinnear we trust!
Pardew should decide
Williams to Newcastle no way.
05 Jul 2013 22:54:53
Lines to be announced as a Port Vale player at 6am tomorrow, having blown Bradford's offer out of the water. {Ed003's Note - A bit early ?}
Yeah it is really, but the local paper (Evening Sentinel) always seem to break at this time.
Lines is a cm. Bradford don't need him
Lines has signed 1 year deal at vale park.
Bradford were never in for him- they have 5 midfielders they have just signed Kennedy and yeates- we are in for a striker for cover and GK
Signed 1 year contract it's on PVFC official site
Lines has signed a one year contract at port vale, so he is a "port vale" player and not gone to bradford city, who offered less money
ENOUGH SAID
Not really ed, he signed yesterday but Vale's embargoed press releases generally go live at 6am the following day. And true to form, he was announced as signing at 6am on Saturday. {Ed001's Note - why is that then? Very unusual for a football club.}
Parky doesn't want players who are after the money but to play for the team- you are welcome to him money grabber
Suppose big bradford want pope no chance one season wonders
Poor fellow no ambition
Considering vale don't have bid budgets I assume he chose them because of their ambitions not cash
One season wonders lol port vale historically a third or fourth div. team haven't got much to beat have we
Historically a 3rd or 4th tier team? I'd check your history again. Vale have spent most of their years in the 2nd and 3rd teir. Not very many in the 4th teir at all. Vale have a chairman with money, no debt and are looking to get back to being an established Chamionship club in the next 5 years.
05 Jul 2013 20:53:01
Demba ba is in talks with anzhi Makhachkala fee to be around 8 million.
05 Jul 2013 20:19:52
Manual Almunia and Marco Cassetti both officially confirmed to have extended their stay with Watford with a 1 year deal each!
Heard that his Brother, Automatic might be signing too!
I thought the rumour was Marco Cassettis' cousins Videoity & Musica were also joining
Not only is his brother Automatic signing but also his french cousin, Dooble De Clutch
05 Jul 2013 20:08:43
Been told tonight that Wednesday will announce 3 signings early next week, one being Martyn Waghorn from Leicester City.
Bloody hope so!
Can you take Danns and Gally too?
05 Jul 2013 19:24:49
Ex-Shrewsbury Town Midfielder Matt Richards has signed for Cheltenham, in a out-of-nowhere situation
Good luck Matty a top player Cheltenham have great player for league two
06 Jul 2013 10:15:43
Heard a rumour that marlon pack MIGHT be signing for portsmouth again.
Marlon Pack wants to play at a higher level, he will not be joining Portsmouth.
If he is going to Portsmouth he would have just stayed at Cheltenham, only reason he left is to play higher, would not go to another league 2 club
Does every post have to become about Marlon Pack? I'm almost as bored of the Marlon Pack saga as I am the Luke Rooney one! He'll sign for someone this week and it's been confirmed by so many media sources that Crawley are in front. Why he'd join Portsmouth I don't know (don't bother with the sentimental tripe).
05 Jul 2013 18:00:20
Bradford city interested in signing Bradley wright-Phillips following his departure from Charlton
Would love to see him at VP!
Potentially true if the Wells deal goes through to Boro by the end of the week
Boro are stalling due to personal terms
05 Jul 2013 17:48:20
tv understand that Chelsea are in advanced talks with Norwich over goalkeeper John Ruddy.
This is all rubbish paper talk. McNally has said today that they have received no bids yet. So it's all just speculation.
Edison Cavani is close to signing for PSG fora stunning 60 million pounds.
Ruddy take him
I do not think Norwich will part with Ruddy for less than the 10M and even then reluctantly, however at that price how could you turn it down, he is an exceptional keeper, but 10M is huge money for a player NCFC paid 400K for
We don't need to sell him and to find a Keeper of that standard would cost just as much if not more than what we sold him for. Then would other keepers of that standard want to join Norwich? Anyway if he wants to be part of the England squad for the World Cup (if we qualify) surely sitting on the bench wouldn't best show his qualities to Roy Hodgson. More likely to stay for a season at Norwich. From a Norwich fan
Do you believe what Mcnally says?
Ruddy is now crocked, cash in now while you can before injury after injury. Best sold 10 - 12mil is a fare price.
Frazer Forster will be signed as a replacement, loves the club and worked with hughton previously
We will sell ruddy far to cheap then won't have enough for Foster as Lennon doubles his players asking price.
Ncfc are not going to sell ruddy
Not a good move for the club or for the player.
I read a lot of these rumor sites and chuckle at most posts, however heres my post. Do not matter what source I have on this you will make your own mind up but it will be out in days, ruddy requested to talk to chelsea which was agreed, ruddy offered no: 2 spot with intentions of n0: 1, terms have been agreed however norwich is not making it easy for chelsea, gutted as ncfc is in my heart but for the players its for the money. Big offer tobe made aas chelsea as ruddy onside.
Good move for his pocket plus he will be used at Chelsea he would be stupid not to go to a top club cash in and take over maybe not straight away but in time

Torquay United are now after the signature of Jordan Chapell as one of the two new wingers they are looking to sign.
Sheffield United will allow him to leave on a free transfer provided a large sell-on clause is signed.
Chapell wishes to sign a permanent deal with Torquay United after a successful loan spell that saved Torquay from relegation.
Would be a cracking signing
Local paper says other winger to be Courtney Cameron.
Can see something going wrong with this! But would be a real coup for us at TUFC
Ex bury player damien mozika to sign for torquay.

05 jul 2013 19:32:13
off to roda ffs!
Signing for Roda JC on a free transfer. Swindon couldn't afford his wages
05 Jul 2013 21:40:35
Looks like he's off to Roda JC in Holland where he spent the end of last season on loan
He's a midfield player, which we don't need.
06 Jul 2013 06:15:39
Matt Tubbs looking at portsmouth - no to OUFC
No he's not, he's a striker. Shame he didn't get more of a chance at dc too
06 Jul 2013 08:24:00
He's a 6Ft 3 STRIKER. Another Swindle fan?
He's no midfielder. shows what you know, and he'll be signing for Roda.
06 Jul 2013 09:41:38
hes not a midfielder!
05 Jul 2013 16:12:51
Former Shrewsbury Town midfielder Matt Richards has signed for Cheltenham Town.
Well, he did play for Hereford once so that qualifies him as a Shrewsbury target.
Never mind he has no track record at league 1 and most recently wasn't wanted by Carlisle!
I think you might be a bit confused, try reading the original rumour again.
Join top goal scorer for Shrewsbury last season - I believe that gives him a very good League One track record.
He was joint top because he took penalties and missed a few of them. Open play goals, not so impressive.
05 Jul 2013 16:07:44
Charlton are interested in signing Hull forward Aaron Mclean
Take him he does work hard but cannot score to save his life it was a waste of 1. 75 mil
Would love him at the valley. Scored at previous club so perhaps Hull's way of playing doesn't suit him.
Mclean's a nice lad, but he's simply not a Championship player, he was never worth the £1.3m we paid for him.
05 Jul 2013 16:03:54

Rumour on here about Tranmere signing Danny Murphy may be true. A source close to him has said he is in talks with a Merseyside club. Maybe with James Wallace still injured Ronnie will look to him to boss the midfield.
As a player? or could it be at liverpool as a coach?
I'd have that. We need experience, Murphy way better than Wallace
Probably Cammel Lairds!
05 Jul 2013 15:29:45
Doncaster deals
All 9 out of contract players to sign there already agreed new deals by Tuesday Furman and Mvoto deals to be done insane time frame. Forester will take longer while the clubs agree compo or go to tribunal. Other deals in the pipeline are Sanchez Payne, Chris Gadi and Luke McCullough who will sign 2 year deals and will feature not in the development squad this season they are on trail at the moment and looked very good in Tuesdays friendly
Harper could be the only one we see leave as Scunny and Bury both interested
How did danny philliskirk play on Tuesday I seen him quite a lot at sheffield utd thought he was a really good player but never given a chance under Wilson there
He did well scored a good goal but it was ruled offside. On Tuesdays show I would be happy if he signed for us
Got told in April that Dickov would be manager of donny due to his friend being john ryan and that Mvoto would sign.
Doesn;t bother me as link last nights draw with Dinamo Bucharest we have found a new CH who is as tall and has quicker feet and mvoto doens;t have quick feet. Also another couple of defenders who were beasts as well so mvoto won;t be missed now.
05 Jul 2013 15:15:59
Chris Powell has revealed that the former Sheffield Wednesday defender Richard wood is training with the Addicks. Could he be the next signing?

Derby are one off four clubs looking at Coventry Citys young right back Cyrus Christie. The other clubs are Ipswich, Barnsley and our old mates Huddersfield Town.
Source one of our message boards.
Old mates Huddersfield Town?
How big a squad do Huddersfield want,
they must have a massive training complex
One of our options if Brayford leaves I suppose.
They do have a large training complex, but that's not the point. They have a small squad. They released 8 players at the end of last season.
This left them with only one striker and this was a young kid.
We have three players who can play as a fullback and one of those is rumoured to be going.
It is a total rebuild.
7 million quids worth pal.
Why are Coventry trying to rack up a rivalry with us? We took your manager, get over it.
Your rivals are Birmingham from my understanding.
Sisu. Have valued him at 4-5million. It's pay up or shut up.
Btw my old mates comments was about when Us (Derby) and Huddersfield when we were both after Vaughan. Bit of banter between the fans.
Didnt intend to start a war between Cov and Uddersfield who I have no doubt are both lovely clubs.
06 Jul 2013 00:29:21
Town did not release 8 players only 3 lee, arfield and Novack fact UTT
Alvimaka HTFC
Town did not release three.
Alan Lee
Scott Arfield
Tom Clarke
Scott Kay
Israel Johnson
Connor Loftus
Lee Novak
That's 7 as far as I can tell. Granted only 3 were main first teamers with Clarke being a squad player
Syracuse christie isn't worth that much
Old mates Huddersfield Town? Thankyou. I also, as a Town fan, have much respect for Derby, if only because of the late, great genious of Brian Clough
06 Jul 2013 09:17:02
Mr Bing and his Asian consortium have bad a bid accepted from Sisu but can't complete till the golden share is given back to the club. The planning permission for Brandon speedway is all a smoke screen to allow them to get the ticket back
Nobody is going to pay 4-5 million for a un heard of center back that's in leauge 1. look at the clubs involved you got no chance. get a grip
06 Jul 2013 09:32:54
No they did because acadamy players like Loftus were released and Tom Clarke not for get that the loans went back and we didn't release Novak because we offered him a contract but he declined the offer FACT UTT
benjamin HTFC
Vaughan Beckford Danns T Clark and A Nother 8
Don't forget town also realeased Tom Clarke so it was 4 not 3. However Novak chose not to sign a new contract and was not realeased
6 released 5 loanies returned to parent club! That is FACT
7 million for Christie?! when you're struggling for cash? 1 million tops.
I like the Terriers though I think your gaffer has a bit of a sign over Nigel while he was at Barnsley. So do you think our clubs will find the next Herbert Chapman/Brian Clough again?
As for Coventry it seems a shame a once progressive club has hit rock bottom. I do believe you tried to lure Brian Clough to Highfield road while he was at Derby.
Sorry me again, according to a source on one of our message board, Derby have asked about the availabilty of the player but no bid has been made. However this may change in the next few days.
Only reporting what I have read, I am not ITK :-)
After all this he is going to sign for either Ipswich or Barnsley :-b
Cyprus Christie to stay with the Sky Blues, got it on good authority.
How can you have it on good authority dreamer? he will be sold to derby if brayford leaves and if any club think they are bigger or better than derby in that list your dreaming. get a grip if we want him wel take him for around half a mil!
Bad karma my friend. if any of those sides beat us this season - and Cov knock us out of the FA Cup. with a Cyrus hat trick.
. I will come around you house and chase you with a kipper.
Dala Llama Rams Fan.
What arrogance, derby hardly pulling any trees up. lower half finish at best
4-5mill or he stays he's under contract. Simples.
Yeah pure arrogance from derby! We only attract an average of 25,000 per game! Hudersfeild sigVaughn. And now they are massive! Ooo I see we are playin on sunday 4pm as our history as a founder memeber of the football league. Yeah a nothing club derby! Get your head down! You know nothing about football
Some Town fans are embarrassing really, we are a mid table championship club at best, stop acting like arrogant Leeds fans and wise up
Can coventry fans stop been deluded under contract or not nobody is going to shell out 4-5 mill on a untested defender in leauge one especially with your money problems
Just go to show you can fool all the people all the time, 25,000 watchin that dross
Still harping on bout brian clough era, even got his son, but magic hasn't rubbed off! maybe by time you get to grt, grt, grt, grt, grandson might string 2 wins together
The fact is both town and Derby have made good 'marquee' signings with Vaughan & Russell respectively, and hopefully both of our clubs will have decent seasons improving on last year. I assume though the one Derby fan acting like they're Man City may be the same one who rings 606 every time they 'shouldn't be losing to clubs like *insert name here*'. Glad the majority of rams fans are decent. Good luck for the season lads!
05 Jul 2013 14:56:31
Darren Ward has failed to agree personal terms with Brentford and has been asked by Swindon to stay. He will now remain with the Robins
I did here that today from a good source apparently he is staying around now!the same as caddis either one will be chosen for captain if they stay, the stumbling block is the money ward is on brentford don't want to pay it and ward don't want to take a pay cut. Be just what we need if they both stay.
06 Jul 2013 07:11:35
I hope the rumour is true that ward is staying as he will be a good influence on the younger players and just the type of leader we need
05 Jul 2013 14:53:41

Latest rumours coming out from the KP stadium.
Kris Commons being lined up to join Leicester along with Celtic old boy Bobo Balde.
Foxes also in the hunt (pardon the pun!) for Derby forward Jamie Ward and Lee Camp from Norwich.
Kasper Schmeichal being touted for £3m bid for goalie role at Norwich should Ruddy move in £8M deal to Chelsea.
No approach made for Ward as per the CEO webcast yesterday.
If Ruddy goes for 8m its an absolute steal. English, better than Mignolet - 15m+ {Ed027's Note - Lets keep our feet on the ground
Lee Camp is free agent
And, even if there was, the rumoured figure of 750K is a laughable amount.
05 Jul 2013 18:55:41
Baled retired about 2 years ago
Ruddy is quality and worth 12-15m
One big funny joke. I can't stop laughing. Lee Camp is a useless lump. Jamie Ward is never going to leave Derby and Kris Commons is a lying moneygrabbing judas who is not good enough at this level. Scottish prem is about his level because in England football is played by men and the slightest tap on the ankle would see Commons out injured for 3 months because he is a lightweight wimp!
06 Jul 2013 09:35:37
And Karl Henry from wolves
Commons is built like a tank, and is an excellent footballer really shines in Europe, he is to good for some small championship team
Commons is a good player, can be lazy at times and is injury prone. would be a decent signing to be fair (DCFC Fan)
Still sore after the way he left the rams, but a big fan of Commons and proven at Championship level (scored double figures in half a championship season before leaving for Celtic)
05 Jul 2013 14:15:41
stoke are favourites to sighn shaun wright phillips
Not Huddersfield? Surely they are after him
Please can this not be true. Outdated players!
SWP was only ever a sprinter with a football at his feet. The best he could ever do, even at the peak of his 'ability' was to knock a ball past a player then beat them with his pace - not his skill. Now he is 31 and is losing that pace. He's a one trick pony who is getting worse at that 1 trick.
Why do ex managers have to bring all their ex failed players with them. We need fresh talent not also rans.
Id take Bradley-Wright-Phillips but not Shaun
Don't think they do take ALL their ex failed players. Is a rumour, no more. Of course managers will look at players they have worked with before but so far Hughes hasn't signed one
05 Jul 2013 14:03:48
Walsall manager dean smith is hopeful of signing former Charlton athletic duo Scott wagstaff and Bradley wright Phillips. Dean smith has spoken to the pair and feels the players would be ideal replacements after the loss of brandy, Grigg and Patterson
He's signing for MK Dons on a FREE - Dad Ian advised him to take the offer to play for a footballing team
The footballing team that Walsall did the double over last season?
You weren't at the Stadium:MK on boxing day then. If he wants a footballing side, there's no better in the league.
Walsall are more of a total football team than mk dongs any day
Ha if he's signing for the dons he didn't take his dads advice!
06 Jul 2013 07:32:44
Darryl Trim, Gem Gordon, Dwight Pope, Nicholas Dillon and Rundell Winchester are all t and t trialist on trial with walsall

Despite reports to the contrary, rumours indicate that Leicester are targetting Derbys' Jamie Ward and preparing a £950K bid to entice the forward. He has one year left on current contract with a second year option. Seems to play only half a season though as hamstrung the other times!
Hope not we have enough sicknotes of our own without signing any of the sheeps injury prone flock. jimlcfc
Derby chief exec. Sam Rush has already said there is 'no truth' in this rumour.
Just no.
Hopefully our Jamie stays. I think he might have more competion this season so might be used more sparingly thus nursing his hamstrings.
He is too funky for the foxes anyway.
05 Jul 2013 13:45:20
Ash Taylor off to Norwich. Done deal apparently. Moore stated to Taylor he was a major factor for the reason of not getting promotion = unhappy player.
Power is also unhappy at being told that a loan midfield will be brought in and that Moore 'has' to play the loan player. Therefore, surmising Wallace is fit and plays then Power will sit on bench. He is not happy in regards to this and consequentially may seek pastures new.
No, why would we want Ash Taylor?
I think its a missprint, they meant Horwich, not Norwich.
05 Jul 2013 13:41:44

QPR boss Harry Redknapp has joined the chase for Celtic striker Gary Hooper - with a £4million bid that includes a number of add-ons set to be presented to the SPL champions.
Champions league or Championship?
05 Jul 2013 16:17:40
That's like saying you could play for Motherwell in the Europa league or someone like Newcastle who are not in Europe, who is more attractive?
Don't think he'll end up at QPR but he will end up in the English premier league. As for the champions league or championship thing I think you could look at it in another way Dundee utd or Manchester utd, Manchester city, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, ect ect. THINK YOU GET THE PICTURE NOW
Oh come on that's never going to happen we've got no chance! He's prem league class
I don't really get the picture, when we say champions league or championship we mean that we are actually in it unlike when you said dundee united who are in a qualifier.
Ok put it another way if your a top player you need to test yourself at the highest level you can week in week out. As a QPR fan if i'm honest if I were Hooper i'd stay put rather than drop into the championship. It just makes me laugh when I see Celtic fans slating lesser premier league clubs. There is not a side in the championship that wouldn't get closer to you than any other current SPL team. So knocking the lesser premier league and championship clubs is a joke when your playing in a 1 team league
05 Jul 2013 13:35:43

Benfica are hoping Nemanja Matic will stay at the club but admit there is such a lot of interest it will be 'almost impossible' to keep him. Chelsea are reported to be keen on taking the midfielder back to Stamford Bridge for a second spell, while Real Madrid are also keeping a close eye on his situation in Portugal.
05 Jul 2013 13:25:45
Stevenage have Andre Gray and Bradley Wright Phillip training with them.
I really hope bwp is training with us, definitely add goals to our game
That's strange, Andre Gray is actually in Portugal with the rest of the Luton Squad, he's also under contract so hardly going to be 'training' with Stevenage. Also they wouldn't be able to afford him.
Portugal? More likely Bognor.
05 Jul 2013 13:15:38
West Brom will look to sign recent free agent Mauro Zarate and Lille's Salomon Kalou to follow up recent signing Nicolas Anelka.
Good deals :) only problem is kalous wages
Kalou's wage isn't as high as has been reported in some places, although the amount Lille have to pay is high due to strict French tax laws. He'd be around £30k as would Zarate.
I've heard from a good source that Kalou's wages would be closer to 70k a week with a £2.6 million to £3million release clause.
I saw those figures in the Guardian I think but they are incorrect. He may be on slightly more on France but is willing to take a pay cut
He's at the Albion training ground today for talks, hope we manage to get Kalou as I can only see Clarke using Anelka very sparingly where as Kalou will bring instant quality to the team. Saying that I can see another club coming in at the 11th hour and blowing our bid out the water.
05 Jul 2013 13:14:36
notts county to sign danny haynes next week
Millwall are offering him a deal. Also heard Blackpool and one other championship club is interested so he's a long way off your radar

Yes he has
Yes he has haha
Well he has?
He really has.
The argus never lies
Oh dammit he has
Now confirmed by club
Great news!
Yes, this is true. This story has been posted on the club website. Not a great player, but one that adds depth to the defence.
Loyalty not many left in the game well done el -abd
He has, check the Brighton home page, it's been confirmed. Any news on Deulofeu?

Bristol City have expressed an interest in Hull's Aaron Mclean after he was told he can leave Hull on a free.
It looks like Baldock will replace Austin at Burnley with Mclean replacing Baldock at the BS3 club.
05 Jul 2013 15:36:25
Yes I can confirm talks are on going between Hull and Burnely for the transfer of Austin and should be completed once Baldock has agreed terms with the claret and blues! McLean's future is in doubt and has been offered to bristol to speed up the deal. Mclean's agent is belived to pishing the former peterborough striker to the West Country.
Only the Austin part of this looks likely
Baldock isn't going anywhere this window! Going to spear the attack in City's bid for promotion
76 games for hull scoring only 9 goals no thanks we don't want him you keep him
He may have played 76 games, but about 80-90% were coming on as a substitute in the last 5 mins
Aaron mclean still put in 110% every game. he showed at peterborough that he can score a lot of goals in L1 and the championship.
Mclean very much like simpson great work rate just not a prolific goal scorer
Luke Howell from Dagenham & Redbridge expected to sign for Bristol city Mon/Tue next week.
Would quite fancy aaron mclean down at the gate. but could he be on his way to peteboro. did well there which earnt him his move in the first place.
Luke Howell not signing next week but is in talks with BCFC.
I want a forward that scores
05 Jul 2013 12:53:48
Shrewsbury Town set to announce the signing of Mathieu Manset on a free transfer.
Very odd. Ex Hereford. Does GT not get it. Ex Hereford players are useful. Hence why they are in the conference
No proven record at league 1 & Carlisle didn't see any potential either. Surely we need to be signing players with some proven quality at league 1 level?
Shrews Blue
Well, he did play for Hereford once so that qualifies him as a Shrewsbury target.
Never mind he has no track record at league 1 and most recently wasn't wanted by Carlisle!
05 Jul 2013 12:45:42
West Brom will follow up signing of Anelka with the capture of Kalou. Will be done early next week

Chris Lines set to sign for Bradford City.
Ricky Ravenhill deemed surplus to requirements and will join Grimsby.
Second one very very feasible. Not good enough for L1, despite strong finish to the season.
Lines is a possibility, wouldn't mind seeing him at VP, but your rumours have no substance, they are just blind guesses.
You say his rumours have no substance, yet tv are reporting that Bradford City are among the front runners to sign Lines.
Parky has rubbished the lines rumours as have the local press
Too late Vale Park bound
WRONG, he's joined Port Vale

Pool also trying to get Powell on loan from united with ince knowing a lot of people there more likely to sign. delfouneso may sign a 2 year deal after villa said he can leave but other big sides in championship are after him will cost about 1m plus addons not sure about McCormack gud player if they can get Him.

Finland international Tuomas Rannankari is interesting Plymouth manager John Sheridan who is now showing signs that he has had enough of the silence from Bhasera (who could well end up clubless).
Bhasera won't end up without a club. I think we need to move on from him now and get a left back and prepare for next season.
^agreed

Rotherham United have made a bid for young Morecambe forward Jack Redshaw, who scored 16 goals in a poor Shrimpers side last season. Steve Evans wants him to be the 8th permanent signing for the Millers this summer, and the "final piece of the jigsaw".
Not for sale after all rotherham fans said he's sunday league after all.
Yes your right mate Sunday League Player not fit to grace NYS
Rotherham won't be able to afford him.
Rotherham can easily afford him we still have the le fondre money and evans has said TODAY that its none of the strikers mentioned in the media so its not him
I should think he will eventually be sold to a big club, not a club likely to be back in League 2 in a year and managed by a fat cheat.
Why bring Martin Allen into this?
05 Jul 2013 10:32:35
Watford are close to announcing the permanent signings of several former loanees and a few other players today, they include:
-marco cassetti, former italy international
-joel ekstrand, swedish international
-ikechi anya, soon to be scottish international
-daniel pudil, czech international
-almen abdi (GET IN!), swiss international
-gabriele angella, udinese
-marco davide faraoni, udinese
-jaime romero, udinese
christian battochio and reece brown are in early stages of negotiations.
watford have signed javi acuna on loan from udinese and want to sign diego fabbrini on loan too but that is far from a done deal.
No news on vydra, hall or almunia.
Source: Watford Observer
Good to see the closing of the "loophole" is making such a difference, if anything it benefits watford as we just sign the class players permanently!
FORZA WATFORD!
BS18
This would be the same class players who didn't get you promotion last season and won't next season.
Vydra could still be at the orns next year,
Watford are quite lucky to be a London club. Unless it's a city club, most other clubs wouldn't get a look-in by any kind of benefactor. Even Leyton Orient were recently mooted as being looked at by a takeover group.
If you're out in the sticks, forget it.

And how much have Watford paid for ALL these "class players". Combined total amount please?
If they aren't breaking the rules, they are breaking them in the fair play sense. Can any other club buy these players Watford have signed if they offer more money?

Nothing is guaranteed in the Championship but you would be foolish to write us off.
It's definitely a much stronger team than last season.
Should come close if we have a better start than last year.
Up as Champions.

"Can any other club buy these players Watford have signed if they offer more money?"
Of course they can, the entire Pozzo business model is based around developing players and selling them for a profit.
In accordance with the 'Registration Embargo' all deals have been approved by the Football League and excluding Lewis McGugan nowhere has it been stated that any of these players are free transfers.
In the same way Watford paid for all the foreign Loanees that they had last season
Regardless of that why would a football owner not use all resources available to him to improve his football team.
Are you going to complain when Reading, QPR, Forest and Other Wealthy Championship Clubs Spend millions building competitive squads.
Is it fair when Man City & Chelsea spend £200 million on players!
Of course any club can buy the players from Udinese. the pozzos sell players all the time but only for the right money. Watford are doing nothing wrong or not fair. Is it fair that chelsea and Man city have billionaire owners? Is it fair that leicester have billionaire owners (but spend the money terribly). Watford are being run in a very financial sensible way. Not over strectching themselves (unlike portsmouth etc)
Fair Play Sense!! Get a grip! There is very little that is fair play in football in this day and age. Is it fair play that Leicester City can by 50-80 million in debt and still operate? Is it fair play that Manchester City just had a rich arab plunder 200 odd million into the bank account? No it's not. The difference with Watford is they have football owners who have fantastic knowledge of the game and a passion for our wonderful sport. A fantastic business model that is all about fantastic football to increase attendances and have a sustainable business model at the same time. Yet more jealousy from opposition fans!

From being a well-respected traditional club, Watford have become a false and PLASTIC NON-ENTITY despised by most true football fans.
^ clearly knows nothing about the history of Watford football club
I love the new watford squad under the pozzo's all these quality young players coming in! I just hope that this year though vicarage road gets filled nearly every game. come on you hornets!
If by "true football fans" you mean "Dodgy Dave" from down the pub, then probably. They moaned about Chelsea and Manchester City. yet people seem to have gotten over that and all the over rich owners who run clubs into debt and do not know the value of money.
The Pozzos actually have a great setup and make money with a sustainable business model. If Watford lost the "relegation every year whilst playing hoof ball" aspect of our identity, FINE BY ME.
We still have a great academy, play more youth players from WATFORD's academy than almost every team in the league, play great football and we're challenging for Premier League football.
If you think this is having a negative effect on the club/town/football you are deluded, you only have to walk around the town to see what a difference it's making. so many more people walk around wearing replica shirts, season ticket sales have massively increased and the quality of the football can only be a good thing for the championship.
"From being a well-respected traditional club, Watford have become a false and PLASTIC NON-ENTITY despised by most true football fans. "
Presumably you have conducted a poll amongst all football fans in order to arrive at this stupid conclusion? Perhaps if you spelt the word correctly, the poll results would be different - or is Non-Entity the way your parents spelt it on your birth certificate?

Millwall have enquired about the availability of Leicester's Jamie Vardy.
Not true, not on the radar.
If we can get keogh back to his old 'sharp' self again we'll be ok! but we 'do' need another striker in case of injuries & suspensions! up to sl!
Keough will benefit from Morisson winning headers, he plays off the shoulder as does Morisson. What Keough does have is that bit of skill.
