Ouch. Hefty price for Duff thesedays

[Presty On Tour]

ffan, are the Fulham supporters confident of victory in your opening day game against Pompey? With Portsmouth in trouble and Fulham fit and ready after their european qualifiers, I don't think you will get beat at Fratton Park.

[EwoodGlory]

Looks like this is definitely happening.

£4.5m seems a bit high, he looked decent on Saturday though.

Something is going on at Newcastle in the next 24/48 hours apparently.

Takeover talk and also Skybet released a statement saying Kinnears odds went from 16/1 down to 3/1 today.

I dunno. Hangeland seems to have his head elsewhere, he didn't play that well in the Europe games, Hart will have his players fired up.

I'd like to think we will win but I think they have a decent chance.

Paul Hart and Peter Storrie have apparently admitted on local radio that they don't think the Pompey takeover will happen.

Have they sold enough to get their debts in order, or are they on the way to administration?

There's a rumour going around down here that another consortium could be in line to take over Portsmouth. Maybe Nicko might know more.

This almost certainly means administration. I believe they still have a massive debt hangover. It will definitely mean bye bye to al the remaining big wage earners within this window.

Not surprised- the guy who was supposed to be buying is running the biggest lame duck operation in the Middle East.

Sunderland set to go for Distin & James according to the papers!

Report on what was said on Radio Solent. It seems they were remarkably candid, even with topics that they don't come out of very well at all (like selling Crouch for £9m when there was a £12m bid from Sunderland on the table).

Having said that, their loan signing of Vanden Borre could be a very good move.

Van der Vaart to leave on a free - but his wife has breast cancer so that will determine where he moves to:

Holland star Rafael van der Vaart sparks Premier League scrap as FIFPro suggest he can leave Real Madrid for nothing

Rafael van der Vaart could spark a scrap for his signature after being told he could leave Real Madrid for free.

The Holland international is looking for a new club after the La Liga giants said he would be offloaded for around £10million, but a top football lawyer says he can go for nothing.

Rafael Van der Vaart

Up for grabs: Real want £10m for the Dutch star but FIFPro say he can go for free

Madrid have not given a squad number to the 26-year-old, who has been linked to Chelsea and Liverpool, which has been interpreted by the international players' union as not respecting his contract.

Hull City announce talks with Sol Campbell incase Turner leaves, also announce interest in Andreas Hinkel of Celtic to replace Sam Ricketts.

[Tango]

Not quite Premier League, but Newcastle have signed Danny Simpson on a season-long loan.

God help them.

[mickbrown]

Kovac signs for West Ham, a very average player at best.

[1864roverite]

Winkers of Bolton have signed some Korean chap on a 3 year deal.

[rog of the rovers]

Gutted, didn't know Sylvie had breast cancer!

Hope van der Vaart comes to the Premier League, he's a class act.

I wouldn't be suprised with Arsenal or Spurs as I seem to remember he has some Jewish heritage, or may even be Jewish himself.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Moyes gives an aggressive press conference about Lescott and puts Hughes in his place:

Arsenal also seem to be having problems with bums in seats. They've been calling around to London companies trying to sell corporate packages for the season.

Steven Taylor for 3 million?

EXCLUSIVE: Steven Taylor to have Blues medical on Monday

You are here: Home -> News -> EXCLUSIVE: Steven Taylor to have Blues medical on Monday

FollowEverton sources understand that Newcastle United centre-back Steven Taylor will have a medical at Finch Farm on Monday prior to a move to Goodison Park. The fee is unknown as of yet but is expected to be around £3 million. Newspaper reports claim a move for Philippe Senderos has broken down and Everton have moved swiftly on to sign defensive cover. Moyes stated today that he hopes for some new additions “within the next 48 hours”

Taylor is known for being a passionate player who’s commitment shone through in the European U21s championship in 2007 where despite having a bad injury, Taylor, the captain, played on through extra-time and scored a penalty, though England went on to loose the epic shoot-out.

In other news, Nugent apparently on 40k at Pompey?

Lescott replacement?

[ffan]

Lescott replacement?

The Senderos deal apparently fell through, who was going to be brought in as competition, so maybe Taylor will be brought in as competition rather than as a replacement?

They dodged a bullet there.

[RibbleValleyRover]

They dodged a bullet there.

Indeed, awful defender.

Moyes is probably bringing in Taylor just in case a stupidly high offer comes in that they can't refuse or as a backup option if Lescott becomes unsettled again in January with some more Sparky tapping up. Though i don't think he will be in the job come January to be honest.

They won't sell him for that
