Rumours in today's Sun that QPR will try and sign Stephen Quinn.

Rumours in today's Sun that QPR will try and sign Stephen Quinn.
Thinking about this, do that mean that Warnock doesn't think he's good enough for a promotion push (or else Warnock would have signed him this season) but he is good enough to keep a team up?

[dr_peepee]

Was it out of some loyalty to Sheffield Utd that he didn't cherry pick from their squad? I seen an interview with Warnock whilst at Palace and there was still a sense of a bond there with Utd. Dunno who he's signed otherwise but in the case of Kenny it was a move that suited both clubs. I

An interesting connection he will have there is former Galway defender Regi Nooitmeer

EDIT: ...and Robinson scored the winner today in Haka's 2-1 victory

Transfer rumours. Doyle to Sunderland according to The Sunday Mirror. Hopefully not and Wolves stay up. Long to Liverpool according to the Mail on Sunday. If he does move, a smaller club where he can get regular football would be best.

Conor Henderson on the bench today!

Conor Henderson on the bench today!

Ya saw that. Would be great if he got a taste of 1st team action before the season ends. Here's hoping!

[Paddy Garcia]

Why not - he could not do worse!

Shane Robinson scores again for FC Haka

Daryl McMahon scored in Farnborough's 4-2 loss in the Blue Square South playoff final and it was a belter

Many players being released by St Johnstone, however, it seems Alan Maybury will be offered a new contract.

Colin Healy has signed a new one year contract with Ipswich.

[gastric]

From the tabloids, Hughton could become West Ham's new manager, Colin Doyle to sign a one year extension at Birmingham and Villa and Sunderland showing interest in Kieron Westwood.

While 3 months old, it gives some insight into how O'Toole went after his return from injury. Maybe with a full pre season and more mature attitude, he can turn his career around.

Darron Gibson went unbeaten in his 20 (16 wins, 4 draws) appearances for United this season. Not only was he the only unbeaten United player but he was also the only one to get an assist in all 4 competitions.

Carl Magnay who supposedly declared for us last year, but who through injury has not played, has returned and played for Chelsea's reserves. Does anyone know if he is any good?

Craig Thomas Lynch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Lynch made two sub appearances at the back end of the season for Sunderland. I have no idea about his eligibility and couldn't find out much about him. He was born in Durham but I don't think he's played for any of the England youth teams. Does anyone know if he's eligible for us?

[Closed Account 2]

Kohlmann has played the first two games of the 2er Bundesliga for Union Berlin this season. A 1-1 draw at FSV Frankfurt (n.b. not Eintracht) and what looks to be a 0-1 home defeat to Greuther Furth.
