From now on the best squads will be placed on the best squads page
Got to love the fact that someone wants to stop hearing "ridiculous" old firm rumours (admittedly some of the rumours posted on this site are far fetched but then these two teams are the only two apart from the big 4 that virtually guarantees Champions League football in Britain) considering this person's big news was two people close to nike are signing for villa, some other posters are just as apt at proving that the imagination of the brittish public is still going strong E. g. the rumours that Bentley would go to Aston Villa, Everton or Tottenham etc, while he has clearly stated he wants to leave Blackburn he also made it clear he wants to play Champions League football, heard a rumour that Boruc would go to Villa Park to link up with his old gaffer that made me laugh considering it was Gordon Strachan that signed him for Celtic not Martin O'Neill. One last ridiculous posting that Arsenal were looking to Makoun when he actually just singed for 7 time French champions Lyon two days ago. Rant over
From Guillem Balague's own site:
Regarding David Villa:
". I will give you my prediction: David Villa IS not GOING TO LIVERPOOL. There has been interest from Juve, Inter, Real Madrid, Tottenham and FC Barcelona and I have the impression he will end up going to one of those teams. Pep Guardiola is dreaming of playing Mario Gomez and David Villa together, but that is far from a reality yet. "
Regarding Ricardo Queresma:
"Well, as I said at the time, this is the kind of player that I would love to see Liverpool sign and I feel they could really do with. However, this is not the kind of signing that Rafa usually makes and I do not think he will change his mind this Summer. I do not think he doubts Quaresma's abilities on the pitch, even though the player can be inconsistent.
If anybody on this site is more informed about football in the southern Mediterranean then I suggest you start your own website and get a job on Sky Sports.

Dear DF, you massive person.
were you on drugs when you stated this rumour "Young and Agbonlahor £8 million+ Hoyte"?
Young was bought for £8 million and has improved tenfold so try at least £13 million and Gabby is worth at least £10 million (remember, this kid only scores against the 'so called big 4 teams')
And to that Rangers fan who refers to the Villa as the 'Vile', grow up you bitter jebend. are you married to a brum fan per chance? is this the reason for the bitterness?
AVfc to break top 4 next season
Celtic to win the Scottish Premier League again.
Blah, blah Barry, blah blah, Ronaldinho, blah blah, Villa. Need I go on? Most of these are not rumours I see on here, it is things people have seen on sky sports news or read in any newspaper in the shops. I am a die hard Toffee, and have been since 1984 (thank god we won the Fa Cup that year and not Watford) and in the last five years I have seen our club make steady progress. Now it seems whenever Moyes spots some talent and bids a decent amount of cash, one of the big spenders up the offer E. g Jo who was sounded out for £14 million but is now on the verge of a £20 million mobe to City. Where did that extra six million come from? It's time for fifa to impose a wage cap. The Rich teams just offer more money and get their man. It's just not on Players are choosing wages over European football, that is how crazy it is. I am not too worried who we sign. After all we held onto fifth last season without Arteta and Cahill, and A. j cannot have two bad seasons in a row. can he? I do not think so. Of course I would love to see Arshavin on the left (maybe even that turan guy from turkey), but apart from that, I cannot think of anyone else, maybe a right back to challenge Hibbert. As for people who say Everton are not a big club, each to their own, but most of those saying it have been looking up the table at us, so jog on fools. Hmmmmmmm, no rumours, just a bit of a rant. Come on managers do not reject this. please? taken ages to write. Ems
To the bloke who said STOKE CITY were forming an alliance with Australias A league, I really hope not as this is a poor standard football league. And beleive me Archie Thompson couldn,t get a game for PORT VALE he is the most over rated over hyped player in Australia. He is useless.There are some promising young players but no where near Championship level yet let alone Premier League. fact. A league is bottom half League One standard at best
Has there been an news on Celtic buying lately.
Rangers seem to be buying early fs.
hopefully few big names come to parlhead this year
Liverpool will not sign Nasri or Van Der Vaart. that is stupid. Rafa will spend how ever much Villa quote for barry. Gerrard only wants to play with barry, they play so well in the England set up. barry is a more holding midfielder, like Mascherano. but Gerrard prefers playing with barry as they have an understanding. just see barrys through ball in Englands last match. barry > Liverpool for £20 million. no more, probably not much less. Villa will have Liverpool ransom.
To the geordie fan that posted Newcastle are better then Everton because they dominate the north east, what kind of arguement is that, Liverpool compared to Sunderland and Middlesbrough mmmmmmmmm and do not forget that there is 2 Manchester teams that are not far away form Merseyside
For many years I have been a football fan. but I am always appalled at the amount of handling and grabbing of shirts etc. there is between players. Are they playing football? At times it seems more like wrestling. WHY should it be necessary to put your hands on an opposing player? WHY should you need to grab an opposing player's shirt and push or put your arms around him and restrict him? Surely all these things which have bee amply evident in the European Cup Matches are FAULS In my opinion putting your hands on the opposing player should merit a yellow card and shirt grabbing should merit a red card and sending off. I would be interested to know of other fans opinions on this.
You Liverpool supporters make me laugh, even if there is a first option on Nasri what makes you think the player would want to move to you. talk about arrogance.
Tricky Dicky
Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has been telling Cristiano Ronaldo to move to Real Madrid. Is this because he does not fancy playing against him in the Premier League?. I think so.
With the departure of Ronaldo looming, the same old saga of Beckham and Van Nistlerooy, it sounds all so familiar. Well as we have proved so many times Man United is not a one man show So what is next, who will we get and how much is he worth is on everyone minds.
On offer at Real Madrid, we have a bit of R' n R'. Ramos and Robinho. Ramos would be a real buy, a replacement for the wheelchair bound Neville, who has served United well, but time to move over and let the next generation to take over.
Robinho, as much as he had a good season, he last few have not been up to standard and for scoring the 2540 goal gap left by Ronaldo, I doubt it . However if we were to get a forward to get the ball in the back of the next like Karim Benzema or Klaas Jan Huntelaar or if they can pull of the coup of the century, Sergio Aguero. It's time again for the Glazers to cough up again.
It seems that clubs outside the top four believe that they will be able to sign top players from abroad which seem totally ridiculous. To be honest I do not believe that teams like Newcastle, Everton would be able promise top players from abroad to sign for their club when realistically they will be unable to progress from last season to finish above the top 4 or win any trophys. So please leave some realistic propsals up otherwise there is not point of this site.
P. D. B
Will the deluded Geordie who saw Arteta hopping off a plane at Newcastle, visit a optician and then have a lie down. you are suffering from a condition called wishful thinking,If Arteta ever leaves Everton it will be to retun to Spain not to a place where time forgot to play for a manager who is well past his sell by date.
Newcastle Arteta, Arteta Newcastle,
Do not know anyone who works for Everton, or Jim the kit man, although did used to get taught P. E. by a certain Mr. Neil Dewsnip, now head of youth development at Everton, although he certainly will not know Jack, and even if he did it would be more than his job.
We perhaps only need a midfield general to replace Lee Carsley, however preferrably not too defense minded and two versatile creative midfielders who ideally be able to operate wide and centrally, to stop playing Neville in midfield, he can only pass sideways or back.
Everton Transfer rumours from various Everton supporter sites/Rumourspapers, I have put next to player what part they may play next season for us.
Joe Ledley Squad player
Wayne Hennessey Squad Player, cover for Howard
Lorik Cana potentially Lee Carsleys replacement
Michael Bradley not seen enough
Michael Johnson cannot see City letting this guy go.
Klaas Jan Huntelaar cannot see this one to be honest
James Milner Newcastle do not want him apparently
Arda Turan plays anywhere in midfield, even wide
Maik Taylor squad palyer, cover for Howard
Joγo Alves de Assis Silva we cannot afford this guy
Alou Diarra another Lee Carsley replacement
Zoltan Gera squad player, to play after euro tie
Joaquνn Sanchez Rodrνguez creative wide man
Mark Beevers squad player
Modeste M'Bami Lee Carsley replica apparently
obviously we would not be able to sign all of these palyers, however at this point I beleive it all to be press constructed rumours to create sales rather than expose true stories, apart from perhaps the Ramsey link which has been confirmed by several sources as bid tabled and accepted.
Everton will definitely buy this Summer however Moyes has had his hands burnt mentioning transfer targets in the past, I do not believe he would make the same mistake again. I hope we get our Lee Carsley grock sorted out, and then bulk up the midfield, with hard workers who can create and I will be more than happy.
Newcastle Arteta 10 million, you paid £5 million for Titus Bramble aged 20 in 2002. if we accepted a bid in the region of £10 million think how many teams would be put on alert. yeah bigger and better teams able to offer European football as opposed to hugs and kisses in the cold from old fat tatooed Curry stained Newcastle replica jersey wearing groin cakes.
Leicester City
Former Walsall gaffer Richard Money will be appointed as manager by next week. He has already been lining up a swoop for Cardiff forward Robbie Fowler, apparently Fowler is very interested in signing for The Foxes but they are negotiating a pay deal similar to what he has at the moment.
Also Leicester are ready to release a new away strip for next season, it will be an all green strip, similar to the irish kit.
I know all this as my Uncle is a coach at Leicester.
Neil Stanley
GRETNA THE END
So the story ends,many people think it should never have began,the wee local English team playing in the SPL,WITH A FAN BASE OF 500. WHAT A JOKE,but not as bad as the BLAIZERS In HIGH OFFICE,that allowed them to represent Scottish football in the EUFA Cup,only to be thumped by another little team DERRY CITY.
All you trippers who think Ribery is leaving Munich are a bunch of crackpots.
He's just come off a stella season with the Bavarian giants and possibly will recieve the captaincy.
Luca Toni is not going no where the Champions League is too tantalising to give up and his partnership with Klose is the best in Europe. Dream on.
If anything Bayern will put a bid in for the unhappy Shevchenko but that seems too far fetched for now. Although Bayern have been eyeing him for two seasons now and need back up for Klose Toni and Podolski in the 4 cups they are trying to win.
German League
Champions League
German Cup
German Super Cup
See what happens.
Van Bommel is likely to come to the EPL or a move back home to the Dutch league.
EPL Clubs interested are Aston Villa
the Hammers
Newcastle
Tottenham
Lahm juust signed a massive deal with Bayern so will also not go anywhere. Bayern would be people to sell one of Europes top defenders who is reaching his peak for the circa £12 million you all are suggesting.
Besides Klinsmann loves his German national players.
Hence the purchase of Borowski.
Gattuso may come to Bayern if Klinsmann really wants him he would crush any poverty stricken Rangers bid.
Bayern player who ARE likely to come to the EPL include DemiChelsealis possibly Newcastle, Lucio maybe to Arsenal or FC Barcelona for approx £9 million. Sangol has a good chance of being picked up by Man United but also maybe Arsenal as Wenger loves him. Bayern are restructuring thier defense for the Champions league which makes sense if you loves to fricken Zenit in the UEFA Cup.
Podolski is rumored for a move back Cologne but this is highly unlikely. If he is going anywhere it's to Manchester City on loan but that is not going to eventuate either considering the Champions League German League German Cup etc. all Which Klinsmann wants. Toni and Klose cannot doit alone.
Bayern will spend money Klinsmann is no a tight arse and will want a top class team to take the Champions League.
Materrazi is an option but nothing serious yet.
Alex is likely.
But wait up everyone Big Transfers will happen AFTER the Euro.
NUfc do have money to spend and will spend big if they can get the right players in. (players that will improve the first team or sell shirt)
at the same time Ashley has ask that the wage budget be cut by £10 million a year to make way for these new player as he does not want to increase the wage budget too much more.
Newcastle have all ready cut £5 million off the budget by sell Emre (55,000pw) and releasing Carr (30,000pw) and ramage (15,000pw) = 5.2 million
other squad players in the list of who could be sold are Duff (77,000pw), Smith (65,000), Viduka (65,000), Rozehnal (35,000pw), Cacapa (39,000pw), faye (40,000) and Ameobi (40,000pw).
they only need to cut another 100 k per week to hit Ashley target and it's more than likley to be Rozehnal, Cacapa, Ameobi who will leave = £6 million more off the budget.
owen, Martins and Taylor will all sign new contacts this month.
For The Idiot who said hinkel is going to iverness
Be Seerious do you honistly think he would give up Celtic in a swap for ross tokely. and shuan maloney will not be going to Rangers for £4 million reason why becuase he's worth £2 million and he hates Rangers and loves Celtic. Lets All Hope Kenny Miller Signs For Rangers
MON AE HOOPS.
Everyone on here talk a load of crap. no one knows where players are going. only the people that work at football clubs.
Cannot believe someone suggested Man United getting £9 million for Saha
he has not played for two years and is more injury prone than RVP, + the fact he is 30.
oh dear
Why does everyone say that Adebayor is leaving Arsenal. he has already said that he wants to stay and prove mathieu Flamini wrong for leaving. JoshG Afc
Had to laugh that some had said Celtic were going to sign 40 million pound of players ha lucky if it will be £4. if Celtic sign these players Rangers are signing Ronaldo from Man United and Lampard. some folk live in a dream world
To the person that said it was "official" that Benzamine (who? ) would be a Man United player next season or words to that effect. listen mate, we'd all take your comments a bit more seriously if you could actually spell the players name correctly. it is Benzema. Karim Benzema. O.k?
To the chump that said Modric was going to Everton he went to Tottenham about two weeks ago so. unlikely. And someone mentioned Van Der Vaart to Fulham come on get real. No chance.
And someone else said they work in admin at Arsenal and Wenger had asked them to submit offers for players you have no idea mate.
