Good player. Now pretty much a regular in the Belgian national side and for Ajax (their vice-captain). Strong, right-footed defender, Gerrard-like with his long passing, and a very powerful shot. Lots of clubs are being linked with him, since he is apparently intent on moving and has said he is not renewing his contract with Ajax. Who knows if we are interested; not a top priority for us I would say.
Just seen this link from the Daily Flail website - http://au.sports.yahoo.com/football...-bid-for-lokomotiv-moscow-striker-dame-ndoye/
Now that would be SOME signing IF it comes off - though I'm not holding my breath!!

With regards to ruddy, is only want to sell if he is determined to leave.
I doubt very much we would make money from the deal. If get £10m and go after Forster, Celtic will demand £10m knowing we have it and are desperate to sign a keeper.

Wouldn't that be the most enormous og for ruddy, a big rival for the England keeper position coming in to work with the England gk coach while he collects splinters on the Chelsea bench!
Bah!
See RBF's post yesterday, 12:27 PM 
Clearly, Chelsea are feeding the press to unsettle Ruddy. I believe CH and DM when they say no bid has been received. The press wouldn't make up the £5m bid, but Chelsea would, and then follow it with 'which was immediately knocked back by Norwich'. This was meant to unsettle Ruddy, encouraging him to say 'Norwich are asking too much for me' (like Toivonen did after Fulham's £2m offer - yes, Fulham play the same dirty game). The third stage is to tell the press, 'Ruddy wants to talk to us' (implying that City 'won't let him'). IMO, it'll come down to whether Ruddy wants to play Chelsea's dirty game or not. So far, so good.
I've just noticed this from ESPN on the same subject:

They obviously have to be more circumspect about what Chelsea are doing.

Breaking news just heard on talksport dutch journo say's that we are defo trying to sign leroy fer
Ooooooooo! Don't use such a dirty word!
Lets hope they have this one right!
That's a far better article than any of the others I've read on the subject
At least whoever wrote that spent more than five minutes writing it and looked at it from all angles.Yeah there was, he started.
Hadn't thought about it like that melchett... Quite like that thought. Whatever the end result, the huge upside being that we would be a particularly good prospect for a decent keeper to join...
