"TRANSFER WINDOW GOSSIP"

This might be a good idea or not, if you have heard any information about Transfers going on maybe you could post them in here rather than making a new topic everytime.

This is the information i have heard about:


Liverpool are poised to swoop for Tottenham star Simon Davies by offering Emile Heskey in a swap deal, according to the Daily Star.

The Welsh winger has been linked with a move to Manchester United, but Houllier is targetting him to give the Reds the width that they have lacked this season.

Manchester United could be denied another of the players they are after, if the Sun is to be believed. They state that cross-city rivals Manchester City will beat them to defender Michael Reiziger.

Kevin Keegan has moved after the Dutchman was told he is no longer part of Louis van Gaal's plans at Barcelona and have offered £20,000-a-week to steal him from under the noses of United, Newcastle and Celtic.

The Daily Mirror get all Addicks fans excited by revealing that Charlton are chasing Ronaldo. Could it be the transfer coup of the decade? No, they say that Alan Curbishley wants Sporting Lisbon's Christian Ronaldo and his strike partner Ricardo Quaresma. The old teases.

Celtic youngster Simon Lynch is to sign for Preston in a cut-price deal, say the Daily Record. Craig Brown will make a transfer window move for the striker for just £130,000.

Finally, the latest in Arsenal's search for a goalkeeper. Step forward Nicolas Penneteau, French Under-21 international. The Daily Mail claims that Arsene Wenger sees the Bastia man as a long-term replacement for David Seaman.

Robbie Fowler's move to Manchester City has collapsed after the Leeds striker turned down the move, according to his agent.

England international Fowler had agreed personal terms at Maine Road after Leeds agreed a £7million fee with City.

But his agent George Scott said: "He had time to reflect on the deal and realised it was not the deal for him, although he was flattered by Kevin Keegan's interest".

Wasnt really comparing the two, just using Van nistelrooy as an example. Fowler isnt THAT bad mind, he has a goal scoring ratio better than 1 in every 2 games.

Fowler has decided to not move to Man City.

All this after agreeing terms as well?! Must have just been having a laugh with Keegan...

Can't really compare the 2 though can you? It's like comparing Van Basten to that 45 yr old guy who plays up front for your sunday league team and doesn't know when to call it quits. You wait for someone of Ruud's quality but Fowler? well less said the better

Robbie Fowler has agreed personal terms and is poised to seal a £7million move to Manchester City.

Fowler is understood to be taking a £7,000-per-week pay-cut to link up with City.

The 27-year-old, who reportedly earned £42,000-a-week at Elland Road, now just has to pass a medical.

I don't like Fowler's face. Never have. I'm glad Fergie has come to his senses and decided likewise.

United are being Linked with Kluivert and Quaresma again today. Kluivert plays that support man role pretty good and could be good for the 4-4-1-1 Formation. But will Fergie really buy a player that wont be allowed to play in the champs league?

Fowler is very very injury prone. Most likely reason why Fergie didnt bid for him, or he just thinks fowler is crap.

Mind you, he did buy Van Nistelrooy after his major injury. Although fergie waited till Van man was fully fit and back in first team action.

Good point....why hasn't fergie made a bid for Fowler? Fergies the man that could get Fowler back to his best as he was at Anfield, and what a duo up front that would make for United - Van Nistelrooy and Robbie Fowler

WTF is Ferguson doing?

Robbie Fowler's going for £7 Million!

I can't believe we haven't made an offer for him and he'll probably end up at Man City, even Rebrov's going for £3 million and we are being linked with mall time strikers.

Feckin'ell.
