Benayoun signs three year deal at Chelsea.

Happy with that? I'm really not sure he'll be a success for you.

[Kitson12]

Bolton sign Martin Petrov

Hasn't that been around for a week or so already?
Oh, and they have also signed Robbie Blake.

[Urinal Mint]

robbie blake? good championship player sure, but not anything like premier league standard. strange signing by bolton, and i think this could be a bad season for them.

[paultheroyal]

D.Silva joins Citeh.

convinced city think they have signed the wrong david!

Stoke have offered Cardiff Michael Tonge and Dave Kitson in exchange for Joe Ledley.

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/footballna ... -26776917/

Thought it was worth mentioning for this:

Former Cardiff manager Lennie Lawrence was keen on 6ft 3ins Kitson when he was playing for Cambridge United. He was available at £150,000, but eventually signed for Reading and is now at Stoke.

Lawrence, meanwhile, went for Rotherham United’s Alan Lee, who cost £850,000.

“It was inconsistency that put me off signing Kitson,” said Lawrence at the time. “We must have had him watched 15 to 20 times.

“He was hopeless in half of them, pretty decent in 25 per cent of them and very good in the other 25 per cent.”

First with the news again.

REAL FACTS!

West Ham are closing in on a deal to sign Brazilian wonderkid Neymar on a season-long loan, before the 18-year-old Santos forward then joins Chelsea in a year's time.

Neymar and Carlton Cole. LOL.

Neymar isn't going to happen.

By way of compensation, expect Sidwell to sign for them.

I think you misunderstand what I've written. What I was asking was whether you are happy with the transfer abd if he'd do well for you? Because i'm not so sure. I wasn't questioning the legitimacy of the news!

I am pleased with the signing. He's got bags of PL experience and has been one of Liverpools best players over the last couple of seasons. So it's a win, win situation really.

Now if we can just bag Torres and Kaka.......

[Silver Fox]

I thought one of the biggest fails of Rafa's time was the lack of starts given to Jossy Benny Noon, season before last when Liverpool came second he was arguably player of the season on limited appearances

Not worth those wages tho! In fact, had NR said £100k a week, I'd still have scoffed.

[jumpers for goalposts]

Any mention here of Ross Wallace joining Burnley? Was fantastic against us in both games for P.N.E last season. Looks like a top bit of business

Always rated Wallace even when he was at Sunderland (despite him scoring against us for them also). Good piece of business by Laws.

Decent playeer but 'greed.

Only played 13 games for Barca last season

I find it all highly laughable
