Default Rumour Mill

Alright guys, lets try and keep all the footie rumours to the one thread and have some great banter at the same time over the ones some fans believe.

Todays rumours are Keano for Chelsea,Man Utd to spend 50million on 3 players,Rangers to buy Kenny Miller, Us to laugh if they do, and many more involving all the clubs. So lets hear what you think is true and what is crap as the transfer window opens on the 1st of June and there's bound to be plenty.

Lets also hear what players your club should get rid of,who should stay thats rumoured to be leaving, and who they should buy.

My club need a few players...a left back,c/back, midfielder and a striker, they need to get rid of about 10 as well...Pressley,Naylor,Doumbe,Sno,Donati,Virgo,Gra vesen,Riordan,M.Brown and Killen.

agree with all the hoops players there...still wondering what happened to lee naylor...his 1st season he was class????

riordan hasn't been given a look in by strachan...but apparently that may be more down to his lifestyle choices rather than ability....

as for evander sno....WTF....biggest a*se in football in more ways than one!

personally i think we need a quick central defender and a playmaker...not enough guile in the middle

kenny miller to rangers....he'll get a rough ride from both sides of the old firm if it goes through...

cannae see keano at chelsea....he must hate them?

i will be looking out for whoever buys klasse jan huntelaar...he seems to be the real deal....

Kyle Lafferty and Watfords Shittu heading to Rangers, also Alan Smith could be on the cards, lets hope we don’t go for Miller, then again if we get him on a freeby it may be a smart move. I hear Berbatov is heading to Man United, Messi headin to Chelsea

Derby want close to 2 million for Miller which would be bad business, Celtic fancy Shittu as well and i have watched him lots of times and he is a good c/back,Its also rumoured celtic will buy Jay McEveley for 500,000 from Derby and i like him, he's young, strong and likes to play football when in possession,I don't believe any chelsea rumours at the moment because they haven't got a manager and he will want his players, Rijkaard or Mancini for that job.

I would not be happy if Rangers splashed out 2m for Miller, we will see what happens. Not seen a lot of Shittu so can’t comment on how good he is. I hear Celtic are also interested in Laffery, he is a Rangers fan so I think he will only be going one place if the bid is right. I like McEveley myself and at £500.000 it’s a snip.

What does everyone think of the Ronaldo situation? Will he go? I think he will.

Georgios Samaras remains keen to join Celtic permanently, while Massimo Donati is wanted back in Italy.


Greek striker Samaras joined the Bhoys on loan from Manchester City in January and scored five goals in 16 SPL appearances.

He has enjoyed his stint at Parkhead and is now waiting for the managerial situation at City to be cleared up before he tries to seal a deal with Gordon Strachan's side.

"Gordon wants to keep him and Georgios wants to stay," the player's agent Lee Anderson told the Scottish Sun.

"The player is clear in what he wants, but the problem is down to the confusion at City.

"The first thing I'll do is find out from City chief executive Alistair Mackintosh what is going on."


Disappointed

Meanwhile, Celtic's Italian midfielder Donati is attracting interest back in Serie A just a year after leaving Milan.

Donati's agent Andrea D'Amico told the Scottish Daily Mail: "There is strong interest in Massimo from Serie A.

"I now have to speak to Peter Lawwell (chief executive) to discuss the situation further because we don't know what will happen at Celtic next season.

"Massimo tells me that he has a close relationship with the manager, Gordon Strachan, but he was disappointed in not playing in the final games of the season.

"The manager assured him there was no problem and so Massimo wants to stay if there is a possibility of playing, but if the manager is not happy and cannot give him that, then he should tell us."

I think he'll stay another year, Don't know if Fabiano will be bought from Seville though as Manucho will be there next season and he looks good.

Nasri looks like another good buy for Arsenal as well although i'd like to see them spend some real money and buy a couple of experienced players to help the kids they have
