Right then i will start seeing as we got 3 months nearly of nothing just say one name who you would like to see us try and sign.

We should go for David Prutton

David Seaman.

Trevor Putney.

Steve Lomas

Juan Cobian.

Simon Cox

Micky Hazard

Kaka.

Phil Neville

Knew it wouldn't be long before there was a silly suggestion ;)

I heard Drogba will be leaving Chelski.....might be worth a punt to replace Cox.

I would never ever attend, if that twat played for us, unrealistic as that is of that happening, hate the prick.

Mark Bosnich.

Christian Dailly.

Pavarotis ghost as a back up keeper.

You did mean 'punt' JJ ?

Just imagine Greer and Dailly as centre backs. Possibly the scruffiest pairing ever!

I've heard we were going to swap him for Cox, but Barcelona have offered us Messi + Cash so we're thinking that over :D

In that case maybe Barcelona and AC Milan can come to some sort of arrangement whereby we get Messi and Kaka, as well as 5 million each from both clubs, in return they can rotate Cox weekly between the two sides. Sounds fair I reckon.

Sergio Torres, just released by Peterborough.

His armband proved he was a red...

From the Transfer Rumours Post.



Apparently.

Wasn't he Wycombe's player of the year a couple of seasons ago?

Anyway it would be a good song, and that is one thing we do lack right now.

No idea what position he plays.

Quinton Fortune

He was voted 76th best player outside the Premiership while at Wycombe in 442 magazine, and hes a striker.

His Wikipedia page makes interesting reading.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Torres

"Torres, who had signed a contract lasting until 2010 at Adams Park, was voted the 76th best player outside the Premier League by FourFourTwo magazine even though he is rubbish"

I thought he was a winger

On a serious note:-

-Billy Clarke, forward released by Ipswich
-Peter Clarke, Southend defender out of contract, highly rated
-David Noble, midfielder released by City
-Jon Worthington, released Huddersfield midfielder
-Daniel Nardiello - not sure if he's out of contract, but he's not needed at Blackpool.
-Keigan Parker - just because he always seems to score against us, or at least play bloody well.
-Michael Ricketts - Walsall fans unhappy to see him go. Good presence up front, scores a few as well.
-Dom Blizzard - midfielder at Stockport - may be out of contract but if not, we'd likely be able to get him for peanuts in Stockports situation.

A load more out there as well, could be a decent year for picking up freebies it seems.

Edit:- Torres is an attacking midfielder that can play on the right if needed.

I thought he was a CM?

The best part of that is that after 'is rubbish' it says "citation needed" :D

He's only played a few times for Leeds over the last few months, has he been injured / suspended?

Whilst he'd want too much money, there's also the fact he's turned into shit recently.

How can you say he is shit while asking if he has been injured or suspended? Billy clarke would be very good imo

As would Peter Clarke at Sarfend, but he has had some admiring glances for Championship teams and I think Sarfend will do their utmost to keep him being their current/ex club Captain.

I'm sure you would if he signed.

We need a number 1 keeper.

Couldnt agree more sippo

Who would you like to see between the post then?

Someone half decent. Not sure, as I don't know who's been released. I'm sure DW has his eye on someone. I don't think Phil Smith is good enough to be our number 1.

Does it have to be a keeper out of contract?

Barry Corr!

In goal any of Federici,mildenhall or that dimi konstopoulis(spelt wrong) and in midfield prutton and folly. Never happen though

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/q/qpr/8025833.stm

Any good?

JPC manages fine.

Never heard of him sippo to be honest

http://www.htafc.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10312~1652045,00.html

Maybe they will offer cash and players!....Cadamatari looks like hes on his way.

Cant open that leefer. What does it say?

Shit link DRS...Cadamatari hasnt signed a new contract..Marvin Kamara and Danny Whitehead a striker released.

Cadamarteri is joining Dundee United

Cadamarteri is more injury prone than Barry Corr.

no he isnt but he is older, fatter and probably worse...

i'd like a few ie 3-4 young players from prem clubs that dont quite meet the top standards.with maybe a couple of experienced players too.

James Scowcroft.

Agreed Arriba - we shouldn't be looking for players just after their meal ticket.

According to 'Uddersfield fans he is.

Talking to a Tranmere mate of mine last night and he says Ian Moore and Chris Shuker are both out of contract at the end of the month and also a young lad Jennings who is a good prospect , they maybe offered new contracts but they have a lack of finance so the manager has been told to trim the wage bill.
I always rated Shuker although he says he can blow a little hot and cold but when he is on form he is too good for league 1.

Darius vassell, out of contract at the end of the seaSon I believe!

Good shout, he was brilliant against us for Barnsley a few years ago.Him & Devaney both actually.

No thanks.

What's the deal with Ian Westlake?

Seemed a decent Ipswich player now probably going to leave Cheltenham (Oldham didn't want him).

I'd love Shuker on the right wing. Always rated him highly.

I reckon Jermaine Easter would be a realistic target as well.

Sure he'd divide opinions as he comes across as a cocky twat, but he's a player I quite like.

so we really would have j(G)ermaine AND Greer ?

How about Stefan Stam who has just been released by Oldham?

Crock, he's only played about 50 games in 3 or 4 seasons

Not a rumour just a player i wouldnt mind....Alan Sheehan from Leeds? A left back, good set peice and delivery. Thought he was good against us when he was on loan to crewe. Same bloke who was sent off against us at home for leeds this season.
 

Sheehan would be a reet good signing!

If you remember just after they took over AF said that they would be looking at players from top clubs who want first team football. (As with Cox).
When you look at the players we've had on loan over the last few years it illustrates the point. If we had signed them rather than had them on loan we'd have a hell of a team.
Examples are Carrick, Milner, Darius Henderson, & the best I've seen was Jimmy Davis (RIP). I'm not saying that we could have signed them all, but I know we could have signed Henderson rather than just acting as a shop window.

We were skint though with henderson and couldn't/wouldn't pay the agent.

Matt richards also and dan harding look like leaving ipswich both are leftbacks and would be good signings

No thanks. Dirty player.

Kiegan parker being linked with kilmarnock. Wouldnt mind him

Harding has impressed at Reading so would hope for Championship. I mentioned Richards in the rumours thread, would be a decent signing if he can prove his fitness

Leroy Lita been released by Reading, id have the big headed cunt here in a heartbeat

I have to admit so would i would be a fantastic signing

No chance. Thank God.

Parker is a sack of shit.

Scott Golbourne would be a more realistic signing from Reading's bunch of departing players. Left back who spent some time on loan at Oldham this season.

Also, some club is going to get a cheap deal for Owain Fôn Williams, Sky Sports are saying he's leaving on a free because he's not been paid. I hope he doesn't waste his time going to bench warm in the Prem.

DV will be coming in his pants..

He often does!

All these would be good experience players for Div 1 released by Reading - Graeme Murty, Marcus Hahnemann, Michael Duberry. Especial Marcus Hahnemann.

I think you should be posting with the other drunks dell

A bad judge of a footballer maybe, but a drink I'm not!!

Haven't touched a drop for a few days and not allowed a drop until Friday 22nd.

Hahnemann got released? Blimey. He'd be a great signing, but I expect he'll go back to the States.

Good shout. He's been a great pro for them.

Bit of a poor man's Brad Friedel, but still.

He looked awfull the last few matches though.

Steve Kabba released by Watford, yes a bit of an attitude problem at times but a cracking player on his day.

Beware the Nalis's.

"I'm not finished in England yet and I want to continue playing over here."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/reading/8052913.stm

Plus he mentions wanting to stay in the area, as well as that he shot a muntjac and was barbequeing it in this interesting audio snippet:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/reading/8052962.stm

fuckin hell i'd sign all of these...

Reading have confirmed club captain Graeme Murty, goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann, defender Michael Duberry and striker Leroy Lita are being released.

Yeah, if we can sign those four as a job lot I'd be delighted!

I dont think the bank manager would be delighted though

Pfft, it's not even June yet, reality doesn't set in for a month or two yet, I'm still expecting us to pip Liverpool and Barca to sign David Villa.

More like Hahahnemann because you'd have to be joking to say he was coming here.

No they would all be on a fair whack but each would fill gaps in our squad!

Someone else we should be looking at if Cox goes - Reuben Reid. 20 years old and scored 18 goals for Rotherham last season.

probably the best cricketer who became a footballer since phil neville

Good player SCM. Fancy rotherham to do well next year.

Like a Bull...like him.

why dont we try and nick lloyd owsu from under brightons nose? not only will it stop the cunt scorinhg against us but he is coxs best mate, might persuade simon to stay.

He's in australia talking to Perth i think.

adelaide or brighton are his options at the moment i think.

I like both, but the weathers normally a bit better in adelaide.

They're in crisis, with a possible failure of the water system for the city. The river systems are drying up. (Adelaide, not Brighton)

Thanks Nev

Always a pleasure.

Danny Hollands has handed in his notice after not being paid by Bournemouth.

I've always rated him, very good player who's proven at this level.

I thought Hollands was only suing the club. I saw an interview suggesting he was staying there despite the legal stuff.

I really miss the old school cricketing footballers...probably not been a proper one since Phil Neale...Worcestershire often seemed to have one...Jim Standen, Ted Hemsley , Jim Cumbes spring to mind.

Chris Balderstone was good enough to play top flight football for Carlisle, then got capped by England at cricket in 76, when he'd retired from football and was concentrating on cricket aged 36.

He can leave on a free if not paid within 14 days.  If someone makes him an offer , including paying him on time, he would be crazy to say no.

I'm almost certain he's taken up the option of the 14 day rule, which means he's free to walk from his contract on the 12th of June, could be wrong though.

Of course if they get a new buyer in, all notices will be void, but Paul Baker who now runs the club, is apparently reluctant to sell for whatever reason, despite the club losing around 700k after the takeover.

Cleveland Taylor hands in a transfer request at Carlisle which has been accepted.

Taylor on one wing and Macca on the other would frighten defences, hopefully get HRK in as well with a bit of luck and we've got 3 very good wingers at this level.

I'm allowed to be optimistic!

What have you been smoking?

What not even on loan?

Yeah meant on loan, don't think that's beyond possibility at all.

how about former reading captain graham murty?

Very high wages arriba unless he took a big cut

been injured,and is getting on,still available and just down the road.and he's earning nowt at the moment.

Murtys a great player - he prob wouldn't want to come here!

Matt holland quality midfielder been released today by charlton :nod:

I read a piece in the Times today essentially saying that Paul Scholes and Gary Neville need to wind down their careers away from the spotlight.  Player-coaching roles I reckon.

Probably on our entire wage budget combined.

If we're looking to strengthen in the wing department, which I expect we are, Max Gradel from Leicester would be a good shout. Remember him running the show when we played Bournemouth a couple of seasons ago.

A good player who will be part of Leicester's side next year.  He even has his own song about shagging the wives of the fans.  You don't move when you have a song like that.
