Transfer Talk !

[Winrew]

Manchester City have signed Espanyol's Albert Riera on loan until the end of the season, say the La Liga club.

City will not confirm a deal is done - insisting talks are ongoing - but Espanyol say the left-sided 23-year-old has joined on loan.

Yaniv Katan [Maccabi Haifa - West Ham] £100,000
Clyde Wijnhard [Darlington - Macclesfield] Free
Dickson Etuhu [Preston North End - Norwich] £450,000

Anyone else heard anything ?

Looks like Anelka is on his way to England.

Im hoping he will finally join Newcastle!

[all_funkt_up]

So am I.























then you'll be relegated

[all_funkt_up]

When will newcastle fans learn - YOU NEED SOME DEFENDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bloody schoolboy errors that have cost you goals over the last few weeks (bramble and babayaro against spurs) need to be sorted.

Anelka is just the sort of player you dont want. Tempremental and hasnt done anything of note at his last 3 clubs has he. Waste of space.

[Swooperman]

That Clyde Wijnhard moves around a bit doesnt he ??

Havent read anything about this yet but Matty Fryatt of Walsall didnt play yesterday & hes their most saleable asset by far so wouldnt be suprised at something there.

Am I alone in think if Freddy Shepherd gives Souness money for Anelka they deserve everything coming to them

[Jesus]

AFU - if you look at Newcastles defensive record this season it really isnt too bad...some bad mistakes yes but people over exaggerate in my opinion!

They dont seem to be creating chances or scoring many goals - thats what they need to improve on mainly especially with Michael Owen out injured!

I think Anelka would be a good signing....he scores goals where ever he goes...and goals win matches as u know!

[Gaz Stod]

Hodgson sort of sacked Winjhard (loan, till he fucks off for good.) cos his was takin the piss, always late for training, bad attitude etc. Anyway hes gone and scored 10 at Macclesfield. Bastard. But we have a new hero, Ndumbu Ngsungu, rolls of the tongue.

Dunno about talk, but I did hear a rumour that Newcastle were looking to sign Henrik Larsson. Lets hope that Henrik can't bring himself to play for that dirty blue nose Souness. Then we can all concentrate on bringing the king of kings back to his throne in paradise

[christianu]

Anelka scores goals Jesus, we had him for 2 and a half years but I tell you he will do nothing else.

Id be gutted if I was you. Theres a reason he has moved all over from place to place. He is a liability to the team and we nearly got relegated with him scoring about 20 goals.

[mrmuzeman]

Im pretty sure the Toffees dont have any money left so hopefully we can get some loanees in. Im hoping for an inspirational Arteta type loan signing like in Jan 2005

Probly just end up with no one though

[all_funkt_up]

Jesus Thing is, Newcastle always do things the wrong way around. Build a solid defensive formation then worry about attacking later. Make yourselves hard to beat first and then concentrate on attacking. Rumours today that Glenn Roeder will be in charge for the weekend's game and that Souey is on his way out.....

Maniche has signed on loan for Chelsea for rest of the season. Good signing, he looked a decent player in Porto's CL games and for Portugal in Euro 2004.

WBA hoping to take Ehiogu from Boro for a nominal fee.

Laurent Robert has left Pompey to go and play at the real Stadium of Light (Benfica) for rest of the season, Pompey meanwhile have brought in Polish Nigerian Olisadebe on loan for rest of the season.

Birmingham look to be favourites to get Chris Sutton for the last 6 months of the season. His contract expires in the summer, negotiations over a new one have stalled at Celtic and it looks like he will be on his way. Sorry to see him go but looking at it this way, he is 32, is becoming more prone to injuries, taking longer to recover and will be £30k a week of the wage bill.

He's been a superb servant for Celtic, great attitude, gives his all in every game but its been proved this season that him and Hartson don't play well together, and the whole team suffers when they are the front two. In the end, Sutton can't match Hartsons goal scoring record so if one of the two has to go, I would be happier if its Sutton.

A hero from the opening minutes of his Old Firm debut when he scored the first as we pumped the Forces of Darkness 6-2 in MON's first derby game.

Liverpool have completed the signing of Dutch right-back Jan Kromkamp, who is joining as part of a swap deal with Spanish side Villarreal for Josemi.

Krompkamp, 25, has passed his medical and will be officially unveiled at Anfield on Thursday.

Hamilton Accies have completed the signing of Spanish striker Rudy Torres for a five-figure fee from Welsh Premier League side Llanelli.

And 35-year-old midfielder Scott MacKenzie, who had been on loan, has signed on permanently after being released by Falkirk.

Midfielder Gavin Williams has signed a permanent contract with Ipswich after joining the Championship club on loan from West Ham in November.



The 25-year-old Wales international has agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal, with West Ham receiving a £300,000 fee.

He told the club website: "Ipswich are heading in the right direction. "If the gaffer Joe Royle can bring in a couple of new players to strengthen the squad I don't see why we cannot start moving quickly up the league."
