Well take Cole. Hes actually a fantastic player. He was just played the wrong way. But again this is bordering on suicide.

Getting rid of Barton, Nolan, Enrique, Carroll and to a lesser extent Routledge? We now have no depth and have gotten rid of our best players. Pure insanity.

Enrique is like a stone wall i dont think its possible to get past him unless your messi and his delivery is excellent. So sad to see him go.

Yeah, he's a good player, and I would like to keep him if it wasn't for his stupid wages. I'm sure he'll take a pay cut coming to Newc or QPR, but he will still be one of your top earners.

Transfer Rumours - 03.08.2011.

Sebastian Frey has joined Genoa from Fiorentina on a 5 year deal for an undisclosed fee. The Stekelenburg deal has been confirmed. Wow still can't believe Roma got away with paying that, well done. They are going to be serious contenders for the Serie A this season IMO.

xAragonite, I love the BBC football gossip site it's brilliant. Can't believe some of the rubbish the British press come up with some times, but other times they are spot on.

There must surely be something on top that we're not hearing about.

:lol: the only one of those that I read was the Guardian.

I heard West Brom and Birmingham were interested in him.

Went to both Roma and Ajax's websites and no fee was mentioned but I read on TWG it is in excess of 6 million Euro guess there will be the usual sell on fee added.

I would expect sell-on fees, a bonus if Roma win Serie A and a bonus if they keep a certain number of clean sheets.

Reports flying around on twitter that Jose Enrique is meeting with Damien Comolli this morning (GMT).

Paulo Sergio has been confirmed as the new manager of Hearts, becoming the 10th manager of the club since Romanov took over in December of 2005.

Pretty sure the clause in Stekelenbergs contact is Ajax get an extra E500,000 every season we make the champions league while hes under contract with us and they get another fee if we sell him or extend the contract.

:lol: Tranquillo Barnetta's agent is none to happy at Newcastle approaching his client.

Roma are linked with Kjaer [-o< Perfect replacement for Mexes.
Love the lad to, absolute gun.

I rate Kjaer very highly, but I thought Roma just signed a CB?

Quotes today that Barton is still in Pardew's plans, even if he's not in anyone else at the club's.

Roma signed Angel from Gijon, Nego and Heinze but I rate them as wing backs (replacements for Riise and Castellini). The only CB's we really have are Juan and Burdisso, Mexes is gone, Burdisso jnr got loaned out and cassetti is just horrible as a CB.

Thanks for clearing that up Felixx_17. Gee I tell you what Roma are building an excellent team, looking forward to watching some Serie A this season. Kjaer is brilliant would be another astute signing by Roma.

Got a couple to add:
DJ Campbell is 'returning' to QPR, signing a two year deal. The fee was reported as 1.25 million pounds.
Real Madrid have agreed to loan Sergio Canales (currently playing the under 20's World Cup for Spain) to Valencia for the upcoming season, could this spell the exit for Juan Mata?
Finally Chelsea have bought Oriol Romeu (also at the under 20's World Cup with Spain) for 5 million pounds on a four year deal. However Barça have put buy out clauses in at one year for 10 million pounds and the second year for 15 million pounds.

Canales is more of a central player and Mata plays on the left for them... I don't know if they're related.

No relation with Mata/Canales. Canales will be quality for Valencia this term though.

Sky Sports is reporting arsenal have rejected another Fabregas bid: The latest offer from the European champions is reported to have been €29million plus €6million in future add-ons, whilst Fabregas was also believed to be putting a €3million sum towards the move.

The Sun reports that Joe Cole is a target of big-spending PSG.

barca need to offer 40 mil before we talk .Its insulting to both arsenal and cesc to have a lowball offer for one of the best midfielders in the world , its like someone offering only 20 mil for lionel

citeh have signed romanian goal keeper Costel Pantilimon from poli timisora

Tonight's rumours from Sky Sports:

Anderlecht general manager Herman Van Holsbeeck and player agent Christophe Henrotay are reportedly in London to finalise Romelu Lukaku's move to Chelsea.

Stoke City have turned their attention to Nicklas Bendtner after their bids for Cameron Jerome and Carlton Cole failed.

Norwich chief executive David McNally has dismissed reports suggesting Grant Holt is to be sold to Leicester.

Bendtner will tear up at Stoke.

Milan Jovanovic has officially joined Anderlecht.

Man Utd have agreed a £3 million fee with Newcastle Utd for Gabriel Obertan. He has agreed a five year deal and will sign on Monday.

another Man U castoff thrown at Newcastle ;)

They already signed Marveaux, I'm surprised they're signing another winger.

Oh, but wasn't he supposed to be the next big thing :lol:

If he's injured all the time and French he'll be at Newcastle ;)
