Official Transfer Thread

[AJ]

I like how the official transfer thread is filled with mostly speculation and nothing official.

I can remember in the last thread I posted a pretty good link regarding transfer interests and official offers and stuff, but im too lazy to find it

Probably better going in here, save starting a new thread.

Martin O'Neill will be stepping down as the Manager of Celtic with Gordon Strachan taking over.

I used to like Strachan aswell.

Bent set for Ipswich exit

Ipswich Town's England Under-21 international striker Darren Bent is set to leave Portman Road this summer.

The Cambridge-born youngster has spent his entire career at Ipswich and feels the time is right to depart for pastures new.

The East Anglian side finished third in The Championship, but fell to West Ham in the play-offs at the first hurdle.

Bent, who has 47 league goals for Town in just over 100 starts, has been linked with a move to newly-promoted Sunderland.

Ipswich boss Joe Royle has admitted the side will listen to offers for the £3 million-rated ace although they do not want to lose his services.

"Darren has informed us he feels the time is right to move on," said Royle. "We don't want to lose him.

"We will listen to offers. However, it is still early days."

That counts as being official news doesn't it?

He'll definetly head to the Premiership, he's to good for the Championship, though I am curious as to where he'll end up.

Newcastle? Darren Ambrose is there so i'm sure he'd big it up to Bent plus they need a new striker after shipping out Kluivert and the inevitable sale of Bellamy.

[MDK]

Anyone know how good Glyn Garner is? Orient have just signed him and he is supossed to be good.

He's 32 and I'm pretty sure he's a left back. Probably more of a Paulo Vanoli No.2.

Everton are most likely going to get Parker. Twice they've done that on us the cunts!

[Farmer Reil]

Bristol Rovers youngster Scott Sinclair is set to sign for Chelsea.

Bastard Atkins. "We finally have a promising youngster, LETS SELL HIM!"

I think theres a good chance of Dellas coming though, he said the Contract Rangers offered him was practically to good to turn down.

We are also in for some Swedish left winger and I think Nonda still, but face competition from Juve for both.

[Guest The Real Deal]

Everton have completed the signing of Tottenham's Simon Davies.

Just a few rumours milling around.

Apparently, David O'Leary is looking at buying Roy Carroll as a replacement for Thomas Sorensen. The word is O'Leary has been less than please with Sorensen's performances over the last season.

Norwich have apparently been offered four and a half million for Dean Ashton by Rangers.

Birmingham, as well as wanting Parker and Andy Johnson, have made an offer for Kleberson.

If memory serves me correctly, Sorensen has made a few gaffs of his own. And if you take the mistakes out, I'd probably take Carroll over Sorensen most days of the week.

[Guest The Real Deal]

Carroll and Ricardo have been released from their contracts at Man Utd as well as 6 others.

I hope Villa sign Carroll he's a decent player.

[Guest Booker T & The MG's]

Antti Niemi is apparantly interested in a move to Celtic, rumours are based on Strachan taking over.

If he did move it's death threat central or worse for Niemi being an ex Rangers player, you'd have to be off your head.

[lazy_arse]

Tottenham are interested in Routledge and Johnson from Palace with them already supposedly having a £7.5/8m bid turned down for the pair.

I still don't rate Johnson, but I can see him going somewhere like Birmingham. I think Ashton is the better player to go for.
