Please God - thats £40k a week off the wage bill for a guy who is not getting on the bench at Celtic. Presumably Sunderland will have to offer similar otherwise Balde is going nowhere.....Quote:

I agree it's good for Long, but I'd say he'll be coming off the bench for most games behind Doyle and Lita barring either of them being sold.Quote:

Steve Finnan to Villa could be back on, from http://www.football365.com/story/0,1...846655,00.html

Earlier in the summer, Steven Gerrard announced to the press that he was "desperate" for Liverpool to sign Gareth Barry...a deal that could finally go through this week for £16m plus Steve Finnan.
PLayed in the u19 game against France at the cross a few month backQuote:

...Dundee United may well be facing the Spanish side without one of their key performers from last season. Last night, the club rejected a bid believed to be in the region of £500,000 from Reading for striker Noel Hunt.
Steve Coppell, the Reading manager, is in the market for a new forward following the sale of Dave Kitson to Stoke for £5.5m last week so has turned his attention to the Republic of Ireland B internationalist, whose brother Stephen is already at the Berkshire club.
Reading, who also had an offer of £400,000 for the player turned down last month, are determined to make an immediate return to the top flight following their relegation to the Coca-Cola championship on the final day of last season.
Hunt scored 17 goals for Craig Levein's side last season and has been pivotal in their recent resurgence. He has continued his fine form this summer, scoring in all three pre-season matches so far.
Therefore, United are loathe to lose a player who has steadily improved since joining from Dunfermline two seasons ago and will hold out for a higher fee from elsewhere unless Coppell ups his offer for a third time.
surely noel hunt is worth much more than half a million
David Bell has been transferred from Luton to Norwich for an undisclosed fee. Good move for the lad.
Definitely. And if he's to leave Dundee, he shouldn't be going to the Championship.Quote:

Nick Colgan rumoured to be signing for Sunderland.
Undergoing a medical today apparently.Quote:

That link says he's signed which is confirmed on the Reading site.Quote:

Scott Davies moves to Aldershot on a season long loan and Kieron Murphy has trial extended at Accrington. Any word on James Simmonds?
Interesting article on the Glenn Hoddle academy where there are three Irish players:
http://www.irishpost.co.uk/news/story/?trs=qlidgbcw
Interesting concept, looks like he will coach the players and then try to sell them or negotiate contracts and get a slice of the pie.

He was there for all of last season as well and helped them win the league.Quote:

Why? To me a foreigner is someone who doesn't speak English as a first language. Americans, Aussies, Kiwis, Scots are not foreigners to me my friend.Quote:

Midfielder Keith Andrews is set to complete his £2m transfer from MK Dons to Blackburn. (Daily Express)
Finnan to Villa as part of the agreed deal for Barry to Liverpool, according to football365
I'm glad I set a record even if a pretty meaningless one.Quote:

Well if nothing more Conor McCormack and I share a common outlook, I'm happy being in the minority, we're usually right. :)
Yeah, it involves conquering a native people, and occupation by a foreign powerQuote:
