What's his main strength? Heading? Larsson & Wickham could potentially be Barton & Carroll Lite. Alternatively it could also be Whitehead & Stead. He's not really much of a header/doesn't head a lot. Way better with his feet.

He probably won't get that anywhere, so if he really do want to play.. how much were bolton paying him last season ? was it subsidised by chelsea ? No idea tbh.

29 June 2011 Sturridge will not go for £6m, no chance. Don't think anyone believes that either. But I doubt it would take £20 m to sign him. £15m and under, and we should be in there.

The Chronicle understands Sturridge is not in Alan Pardew’s sights – despite speculation linking the Magpies with a swoop for the Chelsea ace. Sturridge is available for loan or sale at bids starting from £6m from Andre Villa-Boas’ new side. Surely we should be in there with a bid at least.

Even on loan, he would have been an excellent signing. Just can't see Chelsea being prepared to sell him this early in his career. I can, they are happy to spend 50M on a waste of space, they can afford to let him go. Don't think it's about Chelsea not wanting to sell. It's more about us not willing to splash what he's probably worth.

Street and Campbell were already part of the academy weren't they? Anyone know much about this Esteban Cardona Lopez? Not really. "Those first couple of days, they will be nervous about stepping in full-time. But we know the lads; they've been around the Academy for quite a number of years now so it's nothing new to them. The programme won't be any different other than the fact that they'll be full-time."

"New" youngsters joining the academy - Lewis Aird, Adam Campbell, Aidan Grant, Alexander Kitchen, Steven Logan, Esteban Cardona Lopez, Jonathan Mitchell, Remie Streete and Will Turton Youngsters leaving the club - Nathan Evans, Andy Mogwo, Ryan Page and Ben Robinson

Please, god no.

Aye.

Hence the tweet from Paul Robertson. Imo.

paulrobbo1966 paul robertson There is disappointing news for #nufc fans as it looks like one of the country's top young strikers isn't coming - latest in @EveningChron Sturridge surely. Disappointing indeed..

bensmith_Times Ben Smith #SAFC did speak to Wickham's 'people' in London last night. #LFC still focused on deals for Adam, Downing and Clichy

would any of them get in our starting XI as it currently stands ? Probably not.

Yep, he'll be forced to submit one by the club. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/footballnation/swansea-city-fc/2011/06/28/angel-rangel-signs-three-year-deal-at-swansea-city-91466-28959018/

Aye, seems a bit much. Don't think he would end up costing that much, but as everyone knows, the market is crazy.

Tottenham interested in Mbaye Niang of Caen. According to L'Equipe they would be willing to offer €8m for him. Great prospect that.

L'Equipe: PSG set to offer Lille €31.5m + Erding for Eden Hazard. Lille say won't sell to French club but... paper says Hazard wants to go.

Anyway, like rumours like this. So much more exciting than Gibson and fucking Treacy.

Get in Pardew On a more realistic note - don't think Premier League is an option really. Neither for Canales or for Real Madrid.

Lille have bid €8m for Park Chu Young according to Infosport +. Quite a hefty fee that. Would've loved him here tbh. Lille won't be too harmed by their sales. Fair play to them for splashing the cash to get their players.

No, it doesn't. We were "interested". Well not us personally but it says he knocked back the chance to play abroad where we were interested, to stay in France so suggests to me that we enquired. Whatever the case, we weren't rejected. We may have enquired though, as you say. Glad we didn't go any further.

JenChang88 Jen Chang PSV close to landing Georginio Wijnaldum for a mere €5M - Now that is a total bargain. Bargain alright.
