Pompey are in major trouble right now. Bringing in Moko is bad enough, but bringing back the 37-year old retired Niemi to replace 39-year old David James? Deary me. I know keepers generally play far longer than outfield players but the fact Niemi was retired does not bode well.

Cost cutting on the bus passes, I guess.

Jozy Altidore has gone to Hull on loan. Bit suprised at that one.

[Hughesy]

They have also signed that lad from Stoke.

Altidore is subject to permit

[EwoodGlory]

Luca Toni's agent on possibility of joining West Ham.

'I think it will happen. At Bayern (Toni) is not playing and Zola is a great friend of his.'

Pompey confirm enquiry for Nugent has come in.

Hull City have had a bid accepted by Newcastle for Beye.

[jodrell]

Not transfer related but found this funny for the city of Liverpool. Everton's plans to build a new 50,000-seater stadium have been jeopardised by a colony of water voles.

Megson. Benni or JR ????????

Search for striker.

Greening to Fulham nearing completion apparently...3.5 million + a player apparently.... :lol:

[WillY]

Mancienne to Foolham

Mancienne to Foolham

Where'd you see that mate?

Mancienne to Foolham

Loan?

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I thought Wolves were interested in him again.

That guy knows how to relegate and promote. So he will be valueble for Fulham 2010-2011 season. Andrews is better than Greening.

According to the Sun (so it must be right) Bent ended up at Sunderland for 10m on 50k p.w.

Great deal for Sunderland that imo. Shame it was deemed he was out of our price range.

Poorest story of the summer so far?

In relation to the Everton Stadium story

Tesco, who also plan to build on the new Kirkby site, have deployed JCBs and a team of wildlife experts to help the animals move home.

I wonder which of the two will get there first?

Poorest story of the summer so far?

Nup, that was on sky sports news last night. They managed a whole 5 minute article about the fact that the average height of the Arsenal team is 3 inches smaller than it was 5 years ago. I know not that much happened yesterday but deary me!

[brian_gallagher85]

Perhaps they where a little short......I'll get my coat

Lescott still not at City. Hughes says more quality defenders will be added.

1030pm Granada reporting that Hughes will not be increasing there second bid for Lescott.

We'll see. Not worth that much IMO. He'll have his chance to prove himself this season... I'll be very interested, as I've followed him since he was at Ipswich and been dismayed at the lack of (footballing) progress he's made.

£10m upfront, £6m in extras.

£50k per wage as standard, with bonus' no doubt added on too!!

I read it was a 165 k goal bonus that works its way down...

[neekoy]

Thats a little random though isnt it. He dosent need a medfielder to do a defencive job because he has Mascerano to do that. He lost Alonso and needed to replace him so the move makes sense.

No I don't see why? Liverpool play with two defensive midfielders and passers in Mascha and(was) Alonso, Viera to me is an older but like for like replacement, he is rumoured to be on his way out of Inter, take the 30 million you just got for Alonso and the money from other sales and go knock on the door of Valencia and throw 50m at their feet for Villa.

Huntelaar is about to sign for Milan

Yes, but the Government hasn't even given them planning permission to build anything yet, so the implications of voles might be irrelevant. I also believe many toffees are against moving up the East Lancs Road to Kirkby...

SPL query.

Do any of the watchers of French football know much about Celtic's new loan signing Landry N'Guemo, from Nancy? I saw brief highlights of his performance against Dinamo Moscow and thought that he was a very good player. It made me wonder if we went for the wrong N'somebody French-based midfielder... I guess, however, that N'Guemo will be a lot more expensive, being an established topflight footballer.
