Lot of suggestions that Given could go to Villa
With Brian Laws getting the sack at Burnley, it will be interesting to see if they sign Paddy Madden.
he probably got the sack because he was trying to sign Paddy Madden.
Madden turned down an offer from Celtic of 1000stg per week a few months ago by the way.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

Could be good business for McLeish, especially if they're willing to take pay cuts. You'd imagine the pair would be available at about $10-million but both would give a big boost to the team.
i would say he is very thick and overrates himself. His brother is his agent and apparently advised him that he could get more from a Championship club or Celtic if he hung in there. The problem is that he's not as good as he thinks he is. His decision appears to have also cost Bohs the guts of stg:100k which i am pretty ****ed off about.

Pardew now showing interest in Keane - go to Wolves or Birmingham Robbie. Adam Hammill, a potential recruit, is being chased by ' a list of clubs longer than your arm' according to sources at Barnsley which probably means he will stay with them.
Kilbane off to Huddersfield, anyone heard this rumour?
Monaco are the latest club to show interest in Aston Villa's unsettled midfielder Stephen Ireland, 24, who is keen on a move to either Liverpool or Everton and has been the subject of interest from Stoke and Fulham. Villa want to recoup about £6m for him.

Meanwhile, the Magpies are interested in taking Tottenham's Keane on loan and signing Wolfsburg midfielder Karim Ziani, who would be available for £2m.

Rumours McLaren wants to bring O'Shea to Wolfsburg. Kind of a strange one to make up if you know what I mean, would definitely be an interesting switch.
How many other English third division players have played for us in recent times? I'm thinking a couple of goalkeepers (Gary Kelly of Bury? Joe Murphy of Scunthorpe? Nick Colgan?) maybe but can't think of any outfield players.
