dubious source re Montero Swansea have won the £4million race for Ecuador’s World Cup left winger Jefferson Montero. The Welsh club are willing to meet the asking price of Mexican side Monarcas for their pacey wide-man after he picked them as his ideal move. Montero was approached by the Swans along with West Ham and Sunderland during the past few weeks - and while he was in Brazil. Now winger Montero has told Monarcas he wants to go to Swansea because he thinks their style will suit him. Montero - who speaks good English - has been linked with Premier League moves for years but now has his chance. The winger is close pals with countryman and Manchester United midfielder Antonio Valencia and comes with a big reputation. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footb...h-4m-transfer-jefferson-3820633#ixzz36sAl6xVX Follow us: @DailyMirror on Twitter | DailyMirror on Facebook
He's got to the age now when it's time to **** or get off the pot, as has Lee Lucas......and (and I say this every summer it seems!) Jazz Richards. I don't think anyone sees Jazz as our next right-back or defensive midfielder so maybe it's time to let him go? He'll do a good job for somebody somewhere...if he moved for 1st team football it would be good for Wales too.
Reported that Monk will be offering Routledge a 3 year extension until 2018, he'll be 33 when the contract runs out. Does anyone think Routledge has the ability to change position as his pace goes? Where would you play a slower Routledge?
The Rules (at least a broad outline) - Clubs register a squad of up to 25 players, which must include at least eight 'home-grown' players, at the end of each transfer window. - Home-grown players do not have to be English; home-grown players are defined as those who "irrespective of nationality or age, have been affiliated to the FA or Welsh FA for a period of three seasons or 36 months prior to 21st birthday" - Clubs can supplement squad with unlimited number of players under the age of 21. - Changes can be made only during transfer windows, although in exceptional circumstances (eg goalkeeping injury crisis) moves could be allowed. - Players loaned to Football League clubs cannot be replaced, but can regain their spot on return to parent club. - Rules apply only to Premier League matches, not European, FA Cup or League Cup action. - First deadline is 1700 BST on 1 September (24 hours after end of August transfer window).

Hernandez and Davies sold, Montero bought? When? This is a nice thread, but shouldn't it be updated with official news only. Alternativly with a rumor part. All of the players could be off, but its only rumors...
Fair ****s, you've got a point there. Just trying to get ahead of the game as I might not be on here at the end of the week, thought I'd adjust it back if the deals broke down...but I take your point and will keep things official in future.

Are people still promoting this player? He'll show what he has in the friendlie and my guess is it won't be much.
By virtue of the fact you're asking this question, I don't think I understand the homegrown law. In my head, he's Icelandic. Surely that's where it starts and finishes.
- Home-grown players do not have to be English; home-grown players are defined as those who "irrespective of nationality or age, have been affiliated to the FA or Welsh FA for a period of three seasons or 36 months prior to 21st birthday" Not sure how old he was when he joined Reading.
Yes, he does. Joined Reading in 2005 and left in 2010 when he was 20, so he spent way more than the 36 months needed to qualify.
