Nice work Reading, good luck Guthers. Would rather have seen him and Best link up with the Hughton though..

Still don't buy it tbh.. with the way we work transfers bids are never made public unless they have been turned down or we are about to confirm a deal. That said could just be Twente playing silly buggers. Still think they are just trying to get other clubs to bid.

Put beckham on the coaching staff sure...but are there better choices for the squad..unquestionably. Tough decision to exclude him big the right one.

More signings = More excitement for the fans = more 'impulse buys' of season tickets from the fickle fans. More like just more leaks to drivel by the clueless local media about possible signings tbh.

Hope the club digs itself out of its financial hole and Clarkie gets some money to bring them up. Best of luck to him and presumably Terry Mac and the Faz.

What's that in pounds? 7.5? 7.1 to be exact. Didnt we apparently bid more for Cissokho? Granted he is a lot younger though.

Given his age I expect we have a limit on how much we will pay for him. From his clubs point of view there is no point cashing him in unless they get a big amount. There is clearly a lot of interest and he has stated he is happy if he stays. The potential downside for Lille is that this is might be their last chance to cash in on him for this high an amount. I can see his value swiftly decreasing with age once he hits 29.

Can't see him staying..unless we can't offload him and fail to get any RB targets. Pardew has already said previously he rates Tavernier as being almost as good as Simpson and a quick learner. Might as well cash in on Simpson while we can tbf if we rate Tavernier around the same.

Keeping thinking Nile Ranger has been liquidated reading this thread title. Guess either way its good news.

They get the compensation money for hoillett when he moves here.

Spain Germany final it is then!

Tiote, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Ba money..

I think the whole fact they are reporting a bid not an accepted bid signifies it wont be accepted. Whole thing seems dubious though. Not the way we usually do business. Normally we hear little until it is done. These bid rumors work for both clubs.. Twente use our longstanding interest to drum up bids from other clubs, we force Demba Ba's hand on whether he is staying or not, could be argued it could push Demba further out the door though.

Great article: - pressures and sells the club to our foreign targets who might be Unsure. - pressures and calls for fan to buy tickets and fill the stadium every week. Perfect.

be demanding 3.5m at least tbh. Be upset if we let him go for less, looks premiership quality and his games/goals ratio cant be too bad either.

Maybe his team just want to flush out more buyers... Can see the chronicle poo pooing this tmrw..

Back up to hopeful on this one, based off a few meaningless wafflings in the journal! Let the cabmeister work his magic.

Happy with this like, if it materializes! We need more than two top class strikers on our books and regardless of what he wants pardew will ease him in like santon. Can see Ba taking his ball and leaving if we get him though. If so I hope we add someone else like rodriguez.

Yep. Looked decent from what I remember (despite Greece being very anti-football that year). Seitardis was the bomb, looked the part, but didnt he just completely flop not long after that? Not even sure he got injured either, seem to recall some kind of knee injury at somepoint.

Can`t see him coming here. It`s Miguel all over again.. lets hope we dont fuck Clyne around or he will be our Seitardis and we will end up getting another Carr.

Tbf he kept Sweden in it, should have been buried at half time and pulled off two or three stunners in the second half too.

If it stops the scousers whining and complaining about yet another "injustice" its worth it.

Hope guthers follows. Think he will go somewhere bigger though.

Better off staying at Brum isn't he? Can't see him getting any money to keep norwich up.

Lampard over beckham any day. Will wilshire be fit in time?
