2011 Summer Transfer Window Thread

[TCO]

There's bound to be a 16 year old in Southampton's youth team that's worth that much?

[Lineker]

Leicester's bid for Jermaine Beckford has been rejected.

Rangers have confirmed the signing of midfielder Alejandro Bedoya on a three-year contract from Swedish side Orebro. The deal was originally set to take place later this season in the winter transfer window.

Neil Lennon has claimed that the influence of agents could see Celtic lose their talented youth player Islam Feruz.

Kilmarnock have signed midfielder Leon Panikvar on a two-year contract following a successful trial.

Portsmouth are reported to be on the brink of signing Norway International striker Erik Huseklepp from Italian club Bari for a fee reported to be €1.7million (£1.5m).

1824: FOOTBALL - German football expert Raphael Honigstein on Twitter: "[Thomas] Hitzlsperger has signed for Wolfsburg, three-year-deal."

[Starvinho]

QPR have made a bid of £4million for Scott Parker according to Sky Sources. Interesting...

This would be a great signing for QPR

[TCO]

He probably has a better shot of Premier League football next season staying with West Ham in all reality.

Not that they'll accept it, that seems a bit low, even to me and I'm not crazy like Sullivan and Gold.

[HailtotheYo]

Carlos Bocanegra to Rangers ..... apparently they're trying to capture the magic of FulhAMERICA Edu and now signing Bedoya and Boca.

QPR bid 4 million for Scott Parker

[Lineker]

Already mentioned chap.

Parker surely can't be happy that his captaincy was given to Kevin Nolan?

[Jimmy]

I think it was probably under the assumption that they would lose Parker to a Premiership team.

[IAceI]

I know QPR need to actually sign players to stay up, but Parker will probably look and think "at the moment, West Ham are a better team." So I guess he'd need assurances that QPR were going to continue to sign players and build a Premier League calibre team - and with the uncertainty over the ownership at the minute you don't know what's going to happen. So I can't really imagine this deal going through, but then against West Ham are looking increasingly hopeful of capturing Barton too so it depends how they'd all fit in.

All seems a bit wacky and out of this world does this summers transfer window.

[iiMarco x]

But he would also think do i want to play premier league football this season?

[IAceI]

As it stands you'd assume West Ham have the infrastructure to get into the Premier League and stay there, but they have owners capable of anything.

Either way there is an announcement at 1:30 today where Ferdnandes will become 66% owner of QPR, Mittal the rest and claiming QPR will be backed. So that could throw a spanner in the works and if QPR are willing to throw some money around then they could bring in Parker.

They'd have to act quickly though as they only have two weeks until the window closes and the last thing they want is to be adrift at the foot of the table when the mid-season window opens.

Parker will want Premier League football to try and squeeze into the England set up as it's a tournament summer. If he can do well with a crap team again he might have a chance again - still not entirely sure how he was voted the best player in the league myself but a good year. I'm still surprised he's not really had anything from a bigger club. His wage demands must have been bloody ridiculous.

[IAceI]

About £70,000-a-week if I recall. So that will definitely scare off some of the bigger teams you'd imagine if they consider what they could probably get for that.

Rag talk today has been:

Onuoha linked with Everton, Blackburn and QPR.

Chelsea have £22m bid rejected for Mata.

Redknapp talks about possibility of selling Modric for the first time.

Man Utd turn their attention to Goetze ahead of Sneijder now.

QPR realize that there is 2 weeks that's why there new owner has gone straight in with a bid

1352: FOOTBALL- Chelsea have completed the signing of Anderlecht striker Romelu Lukaku. The 18-year-old will be available for the club's match against West Brom on Saturday.

This lad could be a sensation in the Premier League, he might take a while to settle but in a few years he'll be world class. Surely this opens the door for another Sturridge loan move now?

Hopefully he plays on Saturday it has been reported that it is likely.

Blackburn has made a bid for FCD defender George John ..... I hope they say no, he's a huge part of their success this year and that would be a huge shot to their chances at hardware

[cmb211087]

He is on his way over for a medical so guess they said yes
