Sidwell in and Van Bronckhorst rumour


Recommended Posts

Guest leon b

Guys i can confirm that steve sidwell has agreed to signed for us as long as roeder stays as boss,My freind has the same agent as him and say it's a done deal!

 

My source also tells me that the club have held talks with gio van bronckhorsts reps and a deal is not far off.

Gee, can I be the first to say I hope the FA doesn't hear about this - I'm pretty sure pre-contracts for domestic Bosman-style transfers is against the rules!!!

 

Gio as a left back - we could certainly do worse... Not sure how that fits in with Glenn's age restrictions...

If we do get Sidwell i think it will almost certainly mean at least one of Butt or Emre is heading for the exit door.

my freind feels pretty certain, we were talking about the toon and he said ''you lot have sidwell in the bag'' i thought he was saying he'd heard the rumour but he's actually heard directly from his agent. also said that the van bronckhorst deal is in the pipline.

Don't think so, think it all just comes under the Bosman ruling. 6 months or less to go and they can speak to anyone.

i not all that sure about van bronckhorst as a left back though, technically good but not too solid.

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

Michael Dawson was supposedly also signed, sealed but then not delivered.

i was kinda happy about the news as it shows the club is at least trying to get a bit of quality in,van bronckhorst is the wrond side of thirty though.

A quick, rough and ready search has revealed the following quote:

 

Premiership rules forbid rival clubs from talking to out-of-contract players until the end of the season.

 

But Sidwell is aware of strong interest from Toon boss Glenn Roeder.

 

From this thread - http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=38152.0 -  which quoted this source - http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002390000-2007150398,00.html

 

I know the Sun isn't the most reputable of sources, but I was fairly sure that was the case...

6 weeks until contract expires for players in the same Country.

So is Campbell but he's been a revelation for Pompey. Sometimes old-buys are good buys

My mates agent is the same as Kaka's. He plays for Leeds and says a deal is almost done for Kaka!

 

:rolleyes:

 

Good signing for Leeds imo, if they show this kind of ambition then they'll be back in the premiership in no time.
