sidwell to sunderland?? surely we should get in there..

I am not sure about this one at all.

The stories say he will sign once the Chelsea players come back from the African Nations Cup...but that won't be until February and, last time I checked that is after the window shuts! Seems strange.

The only way this could be happening is if Chelsea are using him as a sweetener to get Kenwyne Jones.

Why would Sidwell go there anyway?

Nicko? The Charlton site states he is their player still. So am i right to assume will they cancel the loan with Rangers in order to send him to us?

He was a very highly rated player and if he could find his form he would do a very good job for us.

Rangers would let him out. He is Charlton's player but in Glasgow for a year's loan which they would be happy to rip up.

Really liked the look of him yesterday. He's going to be some player

There's an interesting story with him...as some light diversion.

Jones came over here on trial and went to West Ham and Rangers as a centre half. Both clubs liked him, but not enough to sign him.

Southampton took a chance and the rest is history.

It just shows there can be gems found in strange places.

I'd normally take that as a bad thing - but Tugay barely got a game there because of Ferguson IIRC.

He's hardly been given a game. 3 in total for Rangers. I think Rangers don't really need a DM, they prefer to attack Greenock under 14s, etc in the SPL.

Yes, he stayed for a few more days but other clubs are out there...

That's good to hear but equally if he was anything special then Hughesy would have made his mind up very quickly. £1.5m is alot for him to spend on an unknown bulgarian striker though, so if you can get a further look then why not. :wacko:

Corrected.

Faye = NO. He's a bad bad player. If you think Mokoena is bad on the ball, you've seen nothing yet.

Shearer is on a beach in Barbados, and having had a conversation with his agrent on friday relayed to me he is not about to get off his beach and head back to Newcastle.

It is the worst job in the Premiership. Idiotic fans with expectations way above the teams ability to deliver and a nightmare owner with no experience, no patience and very little appetite to invest in the team. He bought the club to turn it for a fast buck, but if the rumours about Liverpool are true, then he might have to hang onto it for a bit longer than he had hoped. It couldn't happen to a nicer chap.

Hughes would be mad to go up there. It needs a new team, at least 3-5 years to turn it around and that assumes you get the support you need from Ashley. If he is serious about getting the Old Trafford job then he would be well advised to stay put, keep doing good things with Rovers and then wait until Fergie goes. It can only be this season or next when the old sweaty @#/? finally goes and Hughes cannot possibly hope to enhance his reputation in that time at a club that has proved a graveyard for each of its last 10 managers.

is his agent still tony stevens?

£5.5 million...it was laughed at back then but seems good business now.

Yes, but that was because he didn't want to go to Newcastle...[/quote]
