I thought one single thread to deal with the inevitable long list of bollix rumours bound to appear on footie-rumours over the summer. I found this today which made me laugh. So 1m for Ellington and a bid for MacAnuff. Why pay for Ellington though? They can have him FOC or for a nominal fee. Anyways, there you have it. At the end of the window it will be amusing to see what percentage of transfers actually became reality.
Utter Shyte indeed, but yes - I do read it. Simply for the comedic value really. I would actually like to make a list of players linked with us over the silly season just to see what happens. The media coverage of potential tranfers is mad these days but most fans are suckers for a good rumour (I know I am). I would guess that about 75-80% of all rumours have no source and are just made up out of thin air. Of the remainining 20-255 probably 2-5% actually comes to fruition. So 95% of every rumour will never happen.
Sheff mate doesn't think thats happening. Sheff fans can clearly see he is complete sh!t. Guess what he does? He runs about next to their other CM, just like he did with us. ****.
Blackwells targets are – L.Williamson – Watford G.Halford – Sunderland C.Beattie – WestBrom J.Shackill – Wolves As if sheff utd want c.beattie again he is awful CELTIC News Overheard Harry Kewell's wife Sheree in a fashion shop in Liverpool, saying that Harry was thinking over an approach to become Celtic player manager with an experienced assistant. :]]
Next bits of gossip from F-R. PNE will make Willo move and we'll get Neil Mellor. From Liverpool PAUL ANDERSON will join Watford as Liverpool no longer want him and will join for £500k. Finally some Saints joker thinks Rasiak will go to Owls, Burnley or us for 1 mio. Christ what a moron.
Also expect king kev (Sheffield United) to enquire about Kevin Kyle, Anthony Gardner and John Eustace. However these approaches are likely to be resisted by their respective clubs.
I am sure that BR would let clubs talk to John Eustace, he hasn't featured in any of his teams, and got sent out on loan, so that is a load of *******s.
Got some more carp: He was linked with them before, so Found some more as well: Another one: That's all for today,
That actually makes me laugh, considering: 1 - Derby don't own Ellington 2 - Why the fook would a Premier League club want him This must be the most rediculous rumour yet.
Was having a look on football-rumours today and came across some Watford rumours. Liverpool striker Craig Lindfield could be off to MK Dons on loan for the season whilst several clubs have enquired about taking Aston Villa striker Nathan Delfounso on loan for the season including Championship sides Watford and West Brom. Also as someone said on the New striker on his way? thread... My sister works at ibrox and she is very close to walter smith andrangers will sign the folowing s.hughes for 300k. a return for peter lovenkrands for free. ben foster and rafael da silva both for cum in for a season loan deal. shony aluko from aberdeen 200k. george boyd from peterbrough for 600k. rob jones from hibs 800k. craig gordon p/e warren feeney 500 outs will be charlie adam for 750 to cardiff. allan mcgreogor 3m+p/e to stoke. barry ferguson 1.5m to birmingham. demarcus beasley for 1.5m to psv. allan gow 500k to watford. andy webster 600k to hearts. steven smith 500k to bristol city. lee mcculoch 750k to wolves.
From footie-rumours today... The club have agreed to sell the players on higher wages, with the exception of Jobi McAnuff, as the club havent received any offers whatsoever for him. Apparently, 'McEnough' has refused a revised contract & looks likely to run down the last 11 months of his existing contract. Hopefully, he will resume the form he found under Brendan Rodgers, rather the woeful efforts under Boothroyd.
Sounds about right. McAnuff and Ellington are two players I can see in the starting line-up on the first day of the season.
Jason Demetriou (sp?) linked on their today from Leyton Orient. Sounds like the sort of signing we'd go for, so you never know....
Just seen that too. Don't know much about him but maybe Nak can fill us in? Sources close to Leyton–Orient have been informed that watford have had a bid accepted for Jason Demetriou http://www.leytonorient.com/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10439~35479,00.html Also..
