    Last summer we had the world cup, and the prediction league to go with it. Now there's obviously no fixtures to predict this summer, so what about a transfer prediction league instead? We can choose a number of players who are likely to move on this summer, and predict who their club will be come September and guess the fee and get more points the closer your guess is to the fee. (We could have other bonuses as well.)

    I enjoyed the WC predo league last year, and if anyone fancies it, I'd do this as well. Just an idea, to stop us all going mental about Gervinho/transfers to NUFC and help pass the boring end of season. If anyone's interested, let me know on here and I'll think of a format.

    I think we'd have to give Hibs more than £500k to take Perch off our hands.

    Could include NUFC players in there for the controversy I suppose ;) Perch, and dare I say Barton/Nolan/Enrique?

    I was going to get a list of players off the skybet who will go where thing since they're the ones most likely to move, then ask you lot if you think there are any more interesting ones.

    Sessegnon to Spurs
    John Obi Mikel to Sunderland
    P BArdsley to Wolves

  9. Lets not include ones that have already been pretty much agreed. Henderson and Ngog don't count.

    Enrique to Barca
    Ranger to Stoke
    Smith to West Ham
    Drogba to Spurs
    Tevez to Inter Milan

    Found a few on sky bet, and added a couple of my own: Nasri, Tevez, Fabregas, Drogba, Sneijder, Rossi, A. Young, Pavlyuchenko, Kranjcar, Crouch, Defoe, Ba, Parker, Downing, Bellamy, Bothroyd, Adam, Enrique, N'Zogbia, Given, J. Cole.

    Will get rid of a few as thats loads, but have I forgotten any interesting ones? I'll ask for predo's tomorrow, leave this article for a day to see who's up for it.

    It's not listing who you think will go where, it's a list of players who are likely to move, then everyone predicts where each one will go. It's no use everyone just picking a few random players, everyone has to do the same to make it fair.
