10m for Senderos?!

Keegan is a joke as a manager. How he keeps getting work I'll never know. He still hasn't a clue how to distinguish between a good defender and a donkey.

Signed for mansfield

10m for Senderos?!

Knock a "0" off that and the price is about right

Jim O'Brien offered a deal by Motherwell: http://footylatest.com/news/news.php?extend.1450
Adam Rooney seems to be impressing on trial on Inverness: http://www.whydelilah.co.uk/news/Tri...486173422.aspx

reports on sunday morning linked Newcastle with a £10m move for Senderos, or £7m plus Shay Given.
Wenger has said he's not for sale, and he has heard nothing about a move to Newcastle: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...906963,00.html

£3m for Given is a steal, considering he's probably got at least 5 years left in top flight football.

HAHA that would be the crime of the century if Wenger pulled that off, replacing a donkey with a quality keeper and 7mill on top of that for good measure, even Keegan isn't thick enough to go for that, shenanigans I say

Clinton Morrison has signed a 2 year deal with Coventry City and gone straight into the squad to face Norwich on Saturday. BBC Ceefax.

Doyle is being targeted by Sunderland for a transfer before the beginning of the Premiership season according to some of today's tabloids. Roy Keane in link to Irish player shock.

In fairness it would be a good move for him and Ireland. He might get some good service from the likes of Reid as opposed to the scraps he had to feed off last season.

That's been doing the rounds since the start of the summer. With Jones out until late September/October I reckon it's just a case of tabloids putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with a space filler. Keane's already signed Diouf, and has Murphy, Chopra, Prica, O'Donovan, Connolly and Stokes on the books. He doesn't need another striker.

Think Prica was released.

[Qwerty]

Yep Prica was loaned back to his old club in Denmark. Sunderland do need another striker, of that list none are proven at permiership level. Murphy did OK but he's not going to hit double digits, neither is Chopra.

It's not about quantity, it's about quality. Doyle has had more success than any of Sunderland's current strikers. Obviously he had a poor season last year, but I think he'd walk into the starting lineup at Sunderland, and those are the players Roy is looking for.

That said, I agree that this could just be tabloid BS.

[elroy]

Roy O'Donovan has gone to Dundee United on loan for the season.

Keith Andrews to Blackburn is back on, from http://www.football365.com/story/0,1...964407,00.html

Blackburn manager Paul Ince hopes to complete the £2million signing of MK Dons captain Keith Andrews in the next 48 hours.

[SunderlandBohs]

Stephen Ireland on his way to Sunderland in a 4million deal. Sold behind Mark Hughes's back. Just a rumour at this stage. Kevin Doyle is not going to us according to the Sunderland Echo. But the Newcastle Journal reckons he'll have a medical this afternoon with us.

haha very belated april fools surely! I wouldnt even have Senderos in Ireland's back four!

Stephen Ireland on his way to Sunderland in a 4million deal. Sold behind Mark Hughes's back. Just a rumour at this stage.

Ireland was late for the Man City v AC Milan game at the weekend. When he did arrive he was brought on in the 2nd half.

One piece of local rumour is that Ireland said he was told by one of the backroom staff (I forget his name) not to turn up as he had been sold to Sunderland. Hughes got on the blower to him and said "where the fcuk are you? get yer ar$e to the ground now!"

There's a few rumours going around message boards, another is that Hughes told the players on friday that if they were going to play, they'd get a text message. Ireland never got one so he never showed up. It was Joe Hart who rang him to tell him to show up

Aston Villa have lodged a £7m bid for Doyle, according to the times: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/spo...cle4535658.ece
