we need to get someone decent in, parker smacks of desperation t.b.h trying to get someone in, you would of thought our new chairman would have had these plans lined up before he bought the club, losing out to players like hull etc is not good, not feeling positive at the moment
Last minute buys might be Enoh from Ajax (fee Undisclosed) Cresswell from Ipswich (£3m) Sako from Wolves (fee Undisclosed) and then Gargano on loan from Napoli Striker on Loan from ??? (Could we get another Berbatov moment) There are probably lots of players waiting for big clubs to come in for them, then their agents start to tout them to smaller clubs on the last days when they find out it's not going to happen.
Too late for Huddlestone? Sky Sports News is reporting that Tottenham's 26-year-old midfielder Tom Huddlestone has signed for newly promoted Premier League club Hull City. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/23691641
Nice spot regs Huddlestone Madness. Did you see this below it.... Daily Telegraph's John Percy: Fulham have moved to hijack QPR bid for Scott Parker. Hearing they have also had an offer accepted by Tottenham.
It's turning into a syndrome! Parker is the kind of player I would like to see at Fulham, like Taraabt, but we've already got his position covered. I dont know how I'd feel if just Parker came in, if we also get a passing mid I would be happy as larry as Boateng and Parker is a very solid DM pairing. Just saw this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23699608 and felt a bit sick- of the 3 midfielder going at spurs we've gone for the defensive one.
Parker is an interesting player. I remember him at Charlton and West Ham as a box-to-box midfielder, playmaker and a decent attacking force. I think he changed (or was asked to change) the style of his game to a more restraint and defensive quality when he joined Spurs and got called up to England. If he can stay injury free, regain his fitness and recapture his early career form then he could be the buy of the season - slotting into Murphy's position as the heartbeat of the team. Just imagine Boateng winning the ball, laying it off to Parker who majestically sets up Tarrabt, Ruiz, Berbs or Bent!! I'm getting excited just thinking about those exciting combinations!
The latest Gossip: 1) John Percy of the Telegraph is saying that we have had a bid for Scotty Parker accepted. The newspaper London24 say Palace are also in the hunt for his signature. 2) And the East Anglian Daily Time says we have “Gone Cool On Aaron Creswell” Their article also notes that Tranmere would be on 20% of any transfer fee for him.
And as posted yesterday, the Hull FC Oficial site have now confirmed that Jake Livermore has joined on a season loan.
Looks like we won't be signing Bent: @SportingLife: Darren Bent has been cut to 1/5 from 5/4 with @SkyBet to move to Crystal Palace this afternoon. http://t.co/AmxDC2XqbJ
Yup, nothing official yet but Stan Collymore on TalkSport is also saying loan deal done - £65k per week !!
You've got to be joking? Vydra, Livermore and now Bent all going to rival clubs on loan deals? Where the hell are you Jol?!
As Jol constantly keeps saying we neeed more goale he sould go fo the Greek HYDRA ,should be good when we get corners.
According to Fulham updates on Twitter: @Fulham_UPD: #fulham Roma chiefs Sabatini, Baldissoni in London to discuss player sales http://t.co/mMz44KwBIP | TribalFootball Maybe Jol is renegotiating a price for Osvaldo? Or more likely the Southampton Execs are finalising a deal. I've got a feeling we'll end up signing Peter Odemwingie on the final day of the window (currently priced at 8/1 with Skybet). Worth a couple of quid maybe?
As far as I can see, the deal between Roma and Southampton is already done, but it's down to Osvaldo, who doesn't want to go there. He's holding out for a move to Inter. I could be wrong though. It'd be awesome if he was coming to CC, I can't see it though.
I've got that feeling too but I hope I'm wrong. I can’t believe we won’t pay the £6 for Bent. He has a proven record in the EPL, has a point to prove to Villa and it's a World Cup year so can’t see how we can lose. If you look at his scoring record in the EPL its virtually identical to Berbatov who we paid £6mil for. He is also 3 years younger than Berbatov. With the squad we have at the moment we are going to struggle to stay up this season. We desperately need to bring in a few quality players.
http://avillafan.com/site/7834/bent-set-for-palace-nope-its-fulham/ Article suggests that Bent has had a late change of mind and having a medical with us this morning. Not sure how good the sources are.
very good source, sky are saying it, the betting has gone from 5-1 yesterday to 1-8 on, medical today
