Official Transfer Rumours thread

Felt we might aswell open one up. I'm only going to start with the smaller ones that haven't really been talked about as we know most of the others.

Richie Partridge on Saturday:
"Coventry, Norwich and Leeds are interested in me and if I had the choice, it would be Coventry."

I read something about Coventry being interested in Graham Stack too.

Jonathon Douglas could return back to Gillingham on a year long loan.

Paul Lambert wants to make Paul Tierney his first signing at Livingston according to the BBC. Other reports were that he signed a 2 year deal at the weekend.

Thats all I can remember at the moment.

Tierney will almost certainly sign for Livi. I think he's just waiting to make sure that they dont get relegated over the whole Hassan Kachloul thing.

Thought he could do better to be honest, Livi have a few good players but overall are a poor side with not much support.

While he did well there on loan last season, shouldn't he be aiming his sights a little higher than League 1??

Harte might go to Blackburn according to eleven-a-side.com

**tetsujin1979** · 24/06/2005, 9:22 AM

The link to blackburn was in the herald last night as well, it'd bring the Irish contingent there to Harte, Steven Reid and Douglas (if he stays)

Could be just their way of trying to give the story some credit.
Apparently Carlton Cole is being offered to Spurs as make weight in the Frank Arnesen deal so another striker wouldn't help matters for Robbie "The Pout of the South" Keane.
Not sure going to the Toffees would help either

Kind of discredits that story!

Does alright doesn't it? ...what with David Connolly breathing down his neck and all...

Apparently Spurs aren't accepting any players in the settlement with Chelsea.

**OwlsFan** · 30/06/2005, 9:07 AM

I've heard that Ritchie Partridge will be signing for the Owls. I heard this at 2.00 am at a party last night so I'll wait and see on that one

Yeah, it was in one of the tabloids. He said he didn't know where the Pats rumour came from. I'd like to see him go to Wednesday. Get Joey O'Brien back too and you'd have an almost entire Irish midfield.

I'd prefer to see Joey stay at the Reebok, with UEFA Cup football this season, the squad is going to get stretched more than last season and he'll have a better chance of a run in the first team, maybe even a run out in the FA Cup third round, before Sam decides to pack it in and concentrate on the league!!

Bolton are gonna lose that Greek dude to Liverpool aswell so he might get in there.

**OwlsFan** · 08/07/2005, 4:26 PM

Wednesday have tabled a bid for Coughlan, the Irish Plymouth defender. Apparently he is highly rated in Plymouth but at 30 he's hardly one for the future for Ireland

**dr_peepee** · 10/07/2005, 10:36 PM

According to the good people at the NOTW Clive Clarke is off to Sunderland

**dr_peepee** · 11/07/2005, 12:23 AM

Irish "declaree" striker Luke Rodgers is close to a move to Crewe... I remember he was highly rated at one stage but then Shrewsbury got relegated and he got injured. Dario Gradi has been know to unearth a few gems in his time though...

Now that would be a great move. Another left back playing in the Premiership. A good player IMO - way ahead of Maybury.

**eirebhoy** · 11/07/2005, 6:09 PM

Just seen this:
http://ichuddersfield.icnetwork.co.u...name_page.html

Adams, meanwhile, has agreed new deals with 10 players - influential ex-Arsenal and Everton man Stephen Hughes, his skipper, fellow midfielders Claus Jorgensen and Isaac Osbourne, winger Richie Partridge, strikers Andy Morrell, Gary McSheffrey, Craig Read, Trevor Benjamin and Dele Adebola and centre-back Richard Shaw.

Adams has also made two new signings, Trinidadian goalkeeper Clayton Ince from Crewe and striker James Scowcroft, from his previous club Leicester.

Strange.
