The Parkin Summer Saga begins

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

my bet would be on sunderland. mick macarthy said he was goin to buy english players this summer and he is a known admirer of parkin

[mexico red]

has to be qpr, or is that too obvious?

[Kinky Tom]

Coventry perhaps.

Shiny new stadium, surely will be given some cash to spend on players fit to play in it.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Coventry perhaps.

Shitty new stadium, surely will be given some cash to spend on players fit to play in it.

he wont go there trust me!

[Kinky Tom]

Maybe not Rich, but if we all keep posting a Championship team name, then surely one of us will be right eventually, then we can all marvell at the wisdom of the one who hits the target.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

sheff utd would be the most likely champ club or QPR

[Melksham Red]

Reading would make the most sense.

[Kinky Tom]

Ok, so we all tend to agree that he will be off to a Championship side so I thought I'd consider the teams there next season, and make a note of which teams I wouldn't mind him playing for.

Premiership teams to go down.

OK 3 from 4 of these teams will be in the Championship next term.

Norwich - Assuming they keep hold of their front line they will not need him.
Palace - Wouldn't mind so much, good partner for AJ, but doubt he'd go there.
WBA - Sure they'd be interested, especially if Earnshaw leaves, doubt it though.
Southampton - I imagine if they go down both Phillips and Crouch may leave, so not a bad bet if you ask me, wouldn't mind too much either.

Obviously one of the teams in the play-offs will be Premiership next season, but for arguments sake I'll include them all.
 
Ipswich - Wouldn't mind this too much, if they don't go up Bent may be off too.
Preston - Again wouldn't mind, but too far north for him.
Derby - As above, maybe close enough to consider.
West Ham - Replace Teddy Sheringhams goals? Can't see it though what with the QPR connection.
Reading - Hope not!
Sheff Utd - Again hope not, I hate them!
Millwall - Doubt it.
Wolverhampton - Really hope not, always hated their arrogant manner.
QPR - Think we'd all quite like to see him play for the hoops.
Stoke - Don't really have an opinion on Stoke.
Burnley - Similar to Stoke, but Too north for him.
Leeds - I'm sure Leeds would love him, hope not though.
Leicester - Wouldn't mind too much, cousins are Foxes fans.
Watford - Hope not, somewhat dislike Watford.
Coventry - Wouldn't mind it, but Sam can do better.
Plymouth - Hope not!
Cardiff - See Reading, Plymouth, Sheff Utd.
Brighton - See above.
Gillingham - Umm, see above again.
Crewe - Surely down, so I doubt it.

Luton - I'd be gutted if he went to Luton
Hull - I wouldn't be too gutted if he went there due to my connection with Hull, but I seriously doubt Sam would go that far.

Out of the five that can make the Play-Offs I don't think I'd like any of them to get Sam, except maybe Hartlepool, but again, he's not gonna go that far north.

My what a boring post, but I was running through it anyway, so thought I'd share.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

What's all this about clubs being 'too far north' for him?

Is he a gayer or something?

[Kinky Tom]

Well, he loves London, and seems reluctant to move too far away.

[Dazzza]

Hull today have poured cold water on a rumoured 500k bid.

500k?  Get in there!!!!  :beers

[reeves4england]

Would love 500k for him!

I think Sheff United might be his final destination, but Southampton has also been rumoured and would make sense if they got relegated.

[Melksham Red]

According to The WDP this morning Watford are now in the hunt.

[Piemonte]

£500k would be safe as fuck.

Pity the minimum fee clause is in his contract, we could get a right little bidding war started and push the price up if all this interest is accurate.
