Sheikh Ahmed bin Saqr al-Qassimi, member of a ruling family in the United Arab Emirates has bought a majority stake in an unnamed Premier League club.

I wonder who??

Pompey?

[imy9]

Could it be us? The odds are pretty good as the following are not likely to be sold anytime soon:

There are probably around 10 clubs in the league that this could have bought, my money is on Everton.

[modes98]

I doubt it is us as they have bought 60% and aren't the trust after a clean break?

[JAL]

The lure of scottish managers

You've got to hand it to the Scots they make far better managers than us English guys.

Just hope big Sam can do us English guys proud on October 17th

Think your find its Everton

They have 3 shareholders, Kenwright holds about 38% leaving 62% with the other 2 investers and its them that could be about to sell

[mode_m]

Blackburn sell Roque for 18mil, Derbs for 3 and are looking to purchase Davies while Hull City is looking to purchase Owen? Really?

[modes98]

I'd leave Hull to that. Injuries have just about killed off Owen as a possible signing.

He would have to accept a minimum basic wage and a heavily weighted goal bonus for most clubs to take him.

Ben Sahar has moved from Chelsea to Espanyol according to SSN. The fee was undisclosed. I'd post a link but my internet is playing up.

[tcj_jones]

Was he the lad at Palace a while back, or was that Scott Sinclair?

[Billy Castell]

I think Sinclair was at Palace, but I don't know where Sahar has been on loan. Sahar is Israeli and a striker, thats about all I know.

[T4E]

Sahar was on loan at Pompey and QPR.

[Grabbi Graeme]

SSN reporting that Glen Johnson has agreed a deal to move to Liverpool

[tcj_jones]

Ah OK. Don't know much about Sahar, but Sinclair looked quality at Palace, albeit in the Championship.

WWhy do they need him when they have Arbeloa or is he going to Spain?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Because Rafa is skint and is scraping the barrel.

I wish we were that skint.

[LessThanJake]

Liverpool are spending that because they know Mascherano is going

[Bobby G]

What a waste of money at that much especially when Arbeloa was a solid if not exciting right back. They didnt need a right back. They will fall backwards next season as long as the other 3 of the top 4 dont regress.

[tcj_jones]

That Liverpool seem to adore Rafa I find baffling. He needs three top quality players: RM, LM and CF. All three and I honestly think they'd win the league next season, two and they'd be challanging. Instead, they blow £17.5m on a right back when their defence, as always, was extremely strong last season.

In other news, Big Club look set for Joe Hart and Barry Ferguson. I always thought that Ferguson was a very good player before his injury and it will be interesting to see how he performs nexy season.

Robbie Keane to Sunderland will happen

[joey_big_nose]

Robbie Keane to Sunderland will happen

What? I thought they were getting Bent?

[T4E]

Robbie Keane to Sunderland will happen

Eh?!

[modes98]

They want both and Crouch!

[ffan]

They want both and Crouch!

Redknapp apparently will get Crouch.

[EwoodGlory]

Eh?!

There has been a few problems in the dressing room since he went back apparently, and the rumours are Harry would be happy to get there money back. Strange one.
