Sonatine 11549 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Transfer windfall due? Monday brought further transfer speculation regarding a trio of former Magpies: Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish has made an £8million bid for Wigan winger Charles N’Zogbia. Wigan paid £6m to sign N’Zogbia from Newcastle United 15 months ago and now value him at £15m. Manchester City will give the first sign in the next 48 hours of their transfer spending power with an offer for midfielder James Milner, thought to be £24million. They expect Chelsea to compete for Milner and want to declare their interest first. Villa are expecting Chelsea to match City's offer. Sources close to the player believe Villa will demand closer to £30m to even consider selling Milner. Scott Parker has been added to the list of players that Arsene Wenger has drawn up as potential summer targets as Wenger looks to bring proven experience to a young squad that faded out of the title chase. A fee of £12m has been speculated upon. With media gossip also speculating about summer moves for Habib Beye, Sebastien Bassong and Damien Duff, it would be reassuring to know that United inserted sell-on clauses in the deals that saw their players leave SJP - and that any funds raised would go towards squad strengthening.

Craig 6700 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Striker David Villa moves to Barcelona from Valencia David Villa will be unveiled as a Barcelona player on Friday after completing a £34.2m move from Valencia. The Spain international has signed a four-year deal and is the first summer capture for the Catalan club, with Cesc Fabregas also said to be a target. Villa, 28, is due in Barcelona on Thursday and is booked for a medical. The top scorer at Euro 2008 despite missing the final through injury, he had reportedly attracted interest from Manchester United and Chelsea. The man from Asturias, in the north of Spain, is a regular in his country's first team and will be highly fancied to make a big impact at the World Cup. His arrival at Barcelona is likely to lead to increased speculation over the futures of strikers Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. After a board meeting at Valencia in the morning, Manuel Llorente, the president of the club known as "Los Che", said they had accepted Barca's offer. "We have sold David Villa to Barcelona for 40 million euros," he told a news conference at the Mestalla. "As everyone knows we could have done this deal last year but we thought at that moment it was best to keep our squad together to try and get into the Champions League. "We have achieved that aim and finished third in the league, and he has contributed a lot towards this. We think it is a good sale and necessary for the economic situation of the club." Outgoing president Joan Laporta claimed on Tuesday the club were "satisfied" with the 21-goal contribution of Ibrahimovic in his first season since arriving from Inter Milan. Henry appears on the verge of a move to Major League Soccer, with Laporta revealing there was "a lot of interest" in the France forward from the United States.

Out of contract at the end of the season, I imagine he'll sign another deal at Cardiff if they get promoted like. I honestly have no idea if he's any good at all.

Andrew 4859 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Id be delighted, new RB, one of our weaker first 11 positions and a CB who I think is actually as good as, if not better than our current first choices, limited chances at arsenal but lets face it we're a long long way away from them at present in every area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 11549 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Toon target Jermaine man NEWCASTLE are planning a £5million bid to bring Spurs' Jermaine Jenas back to St James' Park. Midfielder Jenas, 27, is keen to get his career back on track after slipping behind Wilson Palacios and Tom Huddlestone in the White Hart Lane pecking order. Jenas spent three years on Tyneside before a £7m switch to North London in 2005. Toon boss Chris Hughton - who worked with Jenas during his time at White Hart Lane - is keen to add experience to his squad for their return to the Premier League. And Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is unlikely to stand in Jenas' way if the right offer is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
