Gemmill 46001 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 So far I've heard (from Gol and an independent lad on N-O - yes, I know ) that a fee has been agreed with Werder Bremen, and (Gol) we are awaiting a response from the player, (N-O lad) we are discussing terms with the player. The N-O lad claims that he's been told that the club are very worried that Owen will never be the same player again, and so are going for Klose as a contingency. I also heard from a lad called Kevin at work ( impeccable sounding source ) that we met with Ashton's representatives at the weekend and the deal is pretty much sorted, to be unveiled later this week. Come along now, don't be shy. No one gets mocked for saying what they've heard in this thread! It's a mock-free zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Ok, you forced me. A family friend of my boss is pally with Anal apprently, and all he would say was that there will be a new striker here by the end of the week and the fans will be very happy with it. Although, knowing how Anal's mind works, it'll be Mickey Bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6700 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 The Ashton rumour is rife down here as well. Local press is claiming that Ashton wants the move but that Pardew is digging his heels. The sweetner is that Pardew is apparently desperate to sign Milner and may be willing to sacrifice Ashton to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'd be happy to sacrifice Milner for Ashton like. I'm not convinced he would ever have a place in our team. Oh and my rumor (although not to do with a striker) is that we have a deal done with Celtic for Petrov as midfield cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 (edited) That's starting to look a bit xmas tree-esque to me, painful memories. 164435[/snapback] I know those line-ups were more about attacking options, but I'd seriously worry about a Taylor and Bramble partnership. I'd drop one of them for Moore, probably Taylor. Any of you "ITKs" know if Glenn's got another central defender on his shopping list, or is he really happy with Moore, Taylor, Bramble, BOUMSONG?
