Hope it's true... West Brom, Hull and Stoke have joined the race to sign Fulham’s Steve Sidwell. The midfielder will become a free agent in July and is still yet to agree a deal with the Cottagers, who were relegated from the Premier League last season. The former Chelsea man is being chased by a host of Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace and newly-promoted QPR and Leicester. Despite Fulham's struggles, the 31-year-old scored eight goals for the West London side last season. He is keen to keep his family in the London area, but West Brom, Hull and Stoke are all hoping to tempt him to join them and play on in the Premier League. http://talksport.com/football/west-...agent-sidwell-14060694821#zywYw4b4DY2EYzy8.99
"Tom Ince, who is a free agent at the end of his contract at Blackpool and had been discussing a possible move to Inter Milan, has declared that he now wants to remain in England. More on this story to follow... After lengthy discussions with my family, I have decided that my immediate future in the game lies in the Premier League." We must be interested. I don't think we'll get him, but his calibre of player don't come around on a free too often.
SkyBet have Stoke 2/1 Hull 5/1 Inter Milan 6/1(now wont happen) DQPR 8/1 Aston Villa and Cystal Palace 10/1. As a free agent this would be great business and release funds for others that will command a fee.
Would have to pay a fee as it would go to a tribunal, estimated fee is £8m based on the £1.5m Palace paid to take him on loan. However we could try and agree a deal with Blackpool for substantially lower
No. Team mates not mates. Same with Bruce and Hughes. Think when Ince gave it all the guvnor bollocks Bruce just laughed at him.
It won't be anything like that much, if he signs for someone outside England, they only get about £150k.
http://talksport.com/football/ince-rejects-inter-milan-favour-premier-league-move-14060694875? This does says we would have to pay 8 million, Inter would have had to pay 155k like you said.
Not sure Id want us to pay £8m for Ince or any other winger unless they were proven prem quality. Ince is not..
He is certainly not worth 8 Million. Don't understand why we have to pay anything, the twat is out of contract?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ejecting-Inter-Milan.html?ico=sport^headlines "Even though Ince is now out of contract his fee should he move to the Premier League will be set by a tribunal as he is under 23, unless an agreement is reached between Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston and the buying club. Swansea, Stoke, Sunderland, Hull and Newcastle are among the teams to have registered an interest but will want to pay less than the an estimated £8million tribunal figure based on the £1.5m fee Crystal Palace paid Blackpool to take Ince on loan for the second half of last season."
I reckon we was in for him on deadline day and that's what the hold up With him joining palace because Sunderland was holding up the graham deal
I think it might be easier to say who we are not looking to sign.. Peter Crouch, Charlie Adam, Brede err him at Fulham, Tom Ince...are on Steve's radar according to SkyBet
