Jimbo 133 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 TRANSFER RUMOURS Jose Mourinho is planning a fresh raid on former club Porto to sign "strike sensation" Ricardo Quaresma, who will cost in excess of £15m, and have also entered the race to sign Sevilla's £18m-rated right back Daniel Alves. (The People) Chelsea are closing in on Valencia's Portuguese full-back Miguel for £10.5m and are also keen on Feyenoord's Canadian midfielder Johnathan de Guzman, who would cost around £2m. (News of the World) Southampton's Gareth Bale will go to the "highest bidder" in the summer after the club turned down a £10.5m bid from Spurs in the transfer window.

(Sunday Express) Jonathan Woodgate will snub offers from Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool to agree a permanent deal with Middlesbrough costing the club £6m. (Sunday Mirror) Aston Villa will sign PSV striker Arouna Kone for £7.7m. (News of the World) Arsene Wenger has been given £20m to bolster his squad in the summer despite his side's early exit from the Champions League. (Sunday Mirror) Tell us your transfer rumours Back to top OTHER GOSSIP The Premiership's top four will set a ceiling of £100,000K a week for their top players' wages meaning the likes of Frank Lampard, John Terry and Cristiano Ronaldo will be disappointed in their contract negotiations. (The Observer) John Terry's contract talks with Chelsea have broken down after he demanded a 10-year deal and a guarantee he would always be the club's highest paid player. (Sunday Mirror) Chelsea's Joe Cole is targeting the Champions League quarter-final against Valencia for his return from long-term injury. (Various) Chelsea's potential Premiership decider with Manchester United is likely to be played on Wednesday 9 May, four days before the end of the season, as the fixture is currently pencilled in for FA Cup semi-final weekend. (Observer) Sir Alex Ferguson says he will carry on at Manchester United for at least two more years and adds that assistant Carlos Queiroz is the ideal man to take over from him when he goes. (Mail on Sunday) Back to top AND FINALLY... West Ham say that problem gambling within the squad is 'an area of concern' that they hope to 'eradicate'... meanwhile, still going strong is the club's exclusive endorsement deal with Pinnacle Casino. "Pinnacle Casino reflects the strong values our football club represents," West Ham director Scott Duxbury said back in September.

luckyluke 1 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 That wage cap thing must be bollocks. Shevchenko, Lampard and Terry are already on something like £130,000, they won't accept a cut. We could have had Miguel if we'd gone in for him before Euro 2004, I remember us being interested in him before the tournement but wanted to 'wait and see'. It wasn't all bad because we signed Steven Carr instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Mag 3 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 DANNY'S NEW BOY IN TOON NEWCASTLE are poised with a £2million bid for Leedswonder boy Danny Rose - the last of the Elland Road young hopes. England youth player Rose, 16, was the odd-boy-out in the deal which took Michael Woods and Tom Taiwo to Chelsea in a controversial transfer a year ago. He chose to stay but Toon chairman Freddy Shepherd is ready to splash out for the attacking midfielder, who is already starring for Leeds reserves. Leeds will look for about £2m in compensation, based on the cash they got from Chelsea for Woods and Taiwo, when chairman Ken Bates drove a hard deal after threatening FA action against the champions. Newcastle are expected to tie up the deal within the next few weeks to take Rose into the Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Chelsea are after Tayls! Mar 11 2007 By Neil Farrington, The Sunday Sun Steven Taylor Chelsea are on the trail of Newcastle defender Steven Taylor. The Sunday Sun has learned that the Premiership champions enquired about the 21-year-old during January. Chelsea raised the idea of Taylor during discussions about a move for Shaun Wright-Phillips from Stamford Bridge to St James’s Park. And although they were given no encouragement by United – as they were when they asked after Obafemi Martins – Chelsea maintain an interest in the England Under-21 defender. The Blues’ lack of defensive strength in depth was exposed by John Terry’s absence in December and January. http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/newcast...#story_continue Hopefully the usual Sunday paper bollocks.

Shearergol 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Would be like us to swap a right winger for a defender though. Leazes will be torn though. On the one hand we'd be getting rid of the "future England captain", but on the other we'd have more attack minded players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 8870 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Leeds fans opinion of the Danny Rose speculation. http://www.waccoe.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=91495 I still remember all the "Kilgallon is the next Ferdinand/Woodgate/Moore/Beckenbauer! OMG!!!!LOL!!!11!!1! on Leeds message boards a couple of years ago... Rose might be a good prospect but totally unproven. Getting 2m for him wouldn't be too bad for Leeds, but I think Newcastle should look to address their problems first, especially with limited transfer funds due to missing out on European football...
