I like Diame too, but I couldn't see him moving from west ham to us, especially given our league position. The upside is that Senegal didn't qualify for ACON. Even with Ba and cisse up top!
http://www.ghanasoccernet.com/boate...rchives&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter Guess that spells an end to rumours that Jol told him not to join up with the ACON.
Apparently Spurs are listening to bids for Livermore and Huddlestone. I'd take Huddlestone, and with the Jol connection it's not out of the question.
He was indeed training with us and according to a few reports he had been here for almost a year! Strange decision, but if a player doesn't want FFC then I don't want the player.
He has been and for some time but the deal is definitely off Bidley. The report Bandit mentions was in the Sun today and quoting Bolat's Agent. There are conflicting stories as to why it fell through but it did as of last Friday and hence the new rumours about us being in for Butland
Oh I don't doubt the deal is off, it's just strange that he's been training with us in England and yet doesn't want to move to England. Oh well, he sounded like another Smoggy to me.
According to Sky a work permit has been granted for Derek Boateng, but he has gone to the ACON and some 'wrinkles' still need sorting.
Not a paper rumour but a tip from a Crystal Palace chum who rates Yannick Bolasie, and considers him a better prospect than Wilfred Zaha. Just a thought really but a reminder also that there could be bargains playing in the Championship. please log in to view this image â¢Squad No: 7 â¢Position: Midfielder â¢Age: 23 â¢Birth Date: May 24, 1989 â¢Birth Place: England â¢Height: 1.85m â¢Weight: 84 kg 2012/13 Season Championship League Performance GAMES GOALS ASSISTS SHOTS 23.........2........7...........43 You can also get a glimpse of him in this video clip of the Palace v Stoke cup tie - http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/crystal-palace-0-stoke-0/
Although the papers (and the bookies) still have us as favourites to get Butland, Stecklenberg would appear to becoming more of an option - Stecklenerg's agent Rob Jansen insists the goalkeeper will leave the capital club if he is not guaranteed a first-team place. Tomorrow we will have an interview with the board," Jansen told Voetbal International. "If it turns out that this situation continues, we are gone. Maarten has not come to Roma to sit on the bench."
"Fulham are believed to be closing in on a deal for Ghana international midfielder Derek Boateng. Sources close to the Black Stars squad suggest the 29-year-old has already passed a medical and obtained a work permit, reports the London Evening Standard." BBC latest...
The translation in this article is awful but it seems to be saying that, following the meeting, Roma are willing to let him go for 5m euros (roughly £3.2m). And we are the named buyer. Source - http://it.eurosport.yahoo.com/notizie/calcio-roma-stekelenburg-verso-il-fulham-lobont-sara-160200933--spt.html There are other stories saying that the asking price could be as low as 3m euros.
Banal Nicolita - Romanian midfielder playing for St Etienne. He says he doesn't know anything about a move to us, but we're linked to him from a couple of stories. http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/premierleague/story/Nicolita-in-dark-over-Fulham-70256616 Tom Huddlestone - Spurs midfielder. I'd like this guy at CC, nice to see a rumour to go with it. (includes Stekelenburg info) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ham-Tom-Huddlestone-Maarten-Stekelenburg.html I'd be particularly up for signing Huddlestone as we do have a distinct lack of English players at the club, which is a pain because of the new PL squad rulings.
Which is exactly why I don't expect us to jettison Senderos any time soon. He's an okay squad player and is essentially a "free" squad place whilst we have few other home-grown players in the squad.
