The generic transfer thread

Lee Bowyer to Ipswich and to be their new captain (not confirmed yet).

Good signing. Surprised West Ham let him slip away. He'd do at this level.

£££ - Don't forget they've just signed Nolan as well to add to Noble, O'Neil and Dyer (if he's still there and can stay fit?).

There's only so many high waged aging midfielders a club can keep, even West Ham have a limit somewhere.

[roadrunner]

Good point. I think Dyer is a free but no-one seems too keen to take him on, unsurprisingly.

[cmonurz]

3, 8, 11, 12 - total appearances by Dyer for West Ham in each of his four years at the club. Atrocious injury record.

Can't believe he has nearly 400 career appearances!

never once completed 90 minutes in any of his games and was paid £83,000 a week.

I doubt in 2009 West Ham thought they would be in the Championship, 2 years later.

CMS to choose Brighton?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13991715.stm

1327: Brighton are set to win the race for the signature of Peterborough United striker Craig Mackail-Smith, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire understands. The Seagulls appear to have beaten off competition from Leicester and West Ham for the 27-year-old.

I already thought Brighton were going to be top 6 next season, that could well push them towards the top of the play offs

[Mr Angry]

That has to be the signing of the close season so far! Incredible!!

Posh agree fees for 2 Premiership sides, then Forest/Leicester/Iswich/West Ham all have a pop, and he ends up at.......Brighton?



Not being funny but I cannot believe that we couldn't have offered more in wages than BHAFC.

[Mr Angry]

Gael Clichy - from Arsenal to Man City for £7M.

Going for broke and likely to achieve it if that's an indication of their policy.

I imagine Posh fans are not happy with CMS now. He was always going to leave, but Brighton aren't miles ahead of Posh. It would be like Long moving to West Ham or Brum. Perhaps understandable, but he could do better.

I think its more like Long going to Cardiff or Forest.

4 year deal will take him to 31/32.........so he must be confident with Brighton

"I want to play at the highest level I can attain and I want to play in the Premier League,"

[cmonurz]

Hmm. I guess it's a step-up of sorts for him, but at 27 if he's had an offer from a Premier League side then his decision to go to Brighton smacks of someone quite happy in his comfort zone.

I've got to be honest, if I had the pick of any Championship club of which to join, Brighton would be quite high on the list at the moment.

gael clichy signs for man city on a 4 year deal. good signing for city who just get stronger and stronger. i still feel they're two top strikers away from winning a premier league though. on the other hand players can't seem to wait to get away from arsenal. how long before wenger decides he too needs a fresh challenge? mourinho's replacement in waiting.

it doesn't have to be about money all the time. he spent 8 years at arsenal and man city are the club on the up while arsenal seem to be going in the other direction. this lad is a multi millionaire, this move will be more about ambition than just money. your post is a bit rich for a chelsea fan btw.
