UK Times says Jay Tabb has joined Reading for an undisclosed fee. Good player, good move if true.
Coppell is a shrewd judge of player and has done more to develop Irish talent in the last few years than anyone at the FAI. Tabb is a very clever, technically gifted player, but I wonder whether anyone associated with the management of the international team even knows who he is.
City upped their offer for Given to 6 million. Honestly, that's laughable! If Buffon was worth 30 million in 2001, then Given is worth at the VERY LEAST half that. In my honest opinion, for a keeper of Given's quality and experience, they should stump up at least 25 million.
While I know what you're saying Brian, you've got to keep in mind that the English league transfer record for a keeper was just recently broken with Sunderland's signing of Craig Gordon at 10 million pounds.
While there's no question that Given is a far superior keeper to Craig Gordon, the fact remains that goalkeepers have low transfer values in England for whatever reason.
With that in mind, and his injury problems last year, I'd probably say anything in double digits will be taken into consideration by Newcastle if Shay really does want out.
Preston are weighing up a £1m move for Stockport winger Anthony Pilkington, who is also being watched by Wigan and Bolton. (The Sun)
Scored a couple at the weekend. Did he get a B cap during the Staunton era?
Can one descibe Givens as being part of anything other than a wierd parallel universe where the normal rules of footballing judgement have been suspended? I bet Trapp and Brady have never heard of him, but no doubt he will get on to the radar if Reading are promoted and he gets on the telly a bit more regularly.
Stephen Hunt for Wigan?

Great point, Coppell has been a legend for us.
It's a plus to have an agent who also knows about that side of football development.
Folan linked with QPR- that would be a good move for him I think.
Skysports.com has Hunt on the main page saying Reading have agreed to sell him to Wigan for 5 million....I guess they just need to agree personal terms and the deal is on.
Didn't quite make the step up expected.
Terriers make double swoop
Huddersfield Town have snapped up Anthony Pilkington and Lionel Ainsworth, subject to the duo passing medicals.
As revealed by skysports.com earlier this week Huddersfield had lined up a move for Pilkington to bolster their attacking options.
Pilkington has agreed a three-and-a-half year contract to join the Terriers from Stockport County, while Ainsworth will move from Watford on a two-and-a-half year deal.
The League One club will pay undisclosed fees for the midfield duo and manager Lee Clark is delighted with his double swoop.
"They fill the criteria I set out for players being young, hungry and good footballers," Clark told the club's official website.
Strachan won't let O'Dea go until he has assurance that Kennedy will be fit.
"I am very sympathetic to Daren.
"He needs games now and has been inspirational in training. But we have a lot of games to play.
"If we can help him to bring his career on, then we will."
It's just a pity Strachan is so intent on this left sided, right sided thing. O'Dea is only up for one position and that's McManus' spot. The captain and a player who's never injured.
