Dokko Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Scott Dann joining Birmingham for £4m!!! Over £3m profit in 18 months, canny going for Coventry. Bad sign for us though, once we've finally got rid of our shite the players were going to be looking at are going to cost fortunes if that fee is anything to go by.

joeyt Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 This isn't a rumour link, just an interesting look at some young players of Europe: http://footballtalentspotter.com/blogs/thespotter/themagnificentsevenoftheu21euros.aspx You'll notice that they recommend a young Finnish lad, to join a Championship club (they mention us) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_5377805,00.html Skysports.com understands out-of-contract winger Kyel Reid is being targeted by a number of clubs. Reid is available on a free transfer after his previous deal at West Ham United expired at the end of last season. A string of sides are believed to be monitoring the 21-year-old's situation, with Wolves, Birmingham, Burnley, Middlesbrough, West Brom and Newcastle all credited with an interest. Reid signed professional terms with the Hammers in 2005 and has since had loan spells at Barnsley, Crystal Palace, Blackpool and Wolves. Never heard of him.

LooneyToonArmy Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Real Madrid have had a manager for two weeks. don`t think he`s had any say or control on transfers like he had at Villareal....Perez is the one choosing the players to go for and not Pellegrini...not that he would have turned down kaka and ronaldo mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest westamfan Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Kyel Reid was once praised as one of the best players at the u17's World Cup by Javier Clemente alongside Mark Noble. He's had a few games for West Ham, showed us he has a fantastic delivery on him, but he never really adjusted to the pace of the game and I think he was a bit out of his depth in the premiership. He didn't seem to have the balls to take on a guy. He's free, he's young, won't cost much in wages and he's got potential. This is the kind of guy you should be taking a gamble on really. As I've been saying on here all along, freebies and loans is what half of your team will be next season. I can't see the club paying out any money at all.

Ronaldo Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 sorry, but that's absolute nonsense, £100m represents a very good opportunity for investment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 sorry, but that's absolute nonsense, £100m represents a very good opportunity for investment. Should be £80m. And WestAmfan is just smug because he now has owners when a month or 3 back his club was as safe as a toddler in a lion den. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound that great to me, certainly not enough to act smug. For me, if I were interested in buying NUFC, I would do exactly what most football clubs will do to the players at Newcastle this summer. If you wait a little longer the price will be even cheaper. I can see mid table in the championship by xmas, financially crippled, fans not turning up and the ones that do will be holding protests. Ashley will slash the price even more.

Exactly, the ball is in any potential buyers court. Why rush through a sale right now, unless someone else is close to buying the club. The price can only go down, the longer Ashley owns NUFC the more money he loses out on as we slowly slide down the league and then down the Football League. Wouldn't be surprised if people are bidding £100m primarily to carry out due dilligence and check out the books, then pull out and come back a few months down the line and say £50m, final offer.

Cajun Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Ched Evans? Young, decent height, good scoring record for Wales U21's, already got a few international caps, banged in a few for Norwich. Apparently available for £3m, probably already mentioned in this thread Doesn't seem to get on with Steven Taylor though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezeri Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Wouldn't really surprise me if we don't have scouts in Sweden today...as it's such a messy stage at the club right now and Ashley couldn't care a less about the club's long term future at the moment!
