kick it off

[quote user="ncfcstar"][quote user="Michael Bates"]Redknapp just said he tried to sign a lad from Portugal but agents from everywhere got involved and put him off live on SSN. Could have been RvW since they''re after a striker???[/quote]He means Rolando doesn''t he, or that''s what I assumed.[/quote]Yeah that''s probably about right thinking about it.

[quote user="Sooty57"]Obviously didn''t have any brown envelopes with the local currency in to hand[/quote]I heard that too. Apparently it''s not his fault though, his dog forgot to withdraw it out her bank account so he didn''t have time to get to a Bureau de Change.

[quote user="Michael Bates"]Redknapp just said he tried to sign a lad from Portugal but agents from everywhere got involved and put him off live on SSN. Could have been RvW since they''re after a striker???[/quote]Exact same thought crossed my mind too.

[quote user="Sons of Boadicea"]I would guess that Grant Holt is running a sweepstake on how many bites he gets.......[/quote]Aye, I''m sure he''s done similar before.

[quote user="Constable officer"]Yes, lets give the 28 YEAR OLD a chance...[/quote]Eric Cantona went on trial at Sheff Wednesday aged 26 YEARS OLD. They wanted another week trial, he said no, Leeds signed him and the rest is history. He was playing for Nimes who finished 15th in Ligue 1 the season before.It happens.

[quote user="lincoln canary"]It is dissapointing. I can''t really comment on the Kamara, however if Stoke didn''t rate him than that doesn''t bode too well. Time will tell. As for Becchio I honeslty can''t believe we''ve signed him. Never rated him and really can''t see this working out. He''s not good enough for us.    [/quote]Stoke not rating him probably just means he passed the ball along the floor during their pitch-length passing session in training, instead of aimlessly hoofing it like the rest of them.

[quote user="Constable officer"]Lets hope thats enough time for Mcnally and Hughton to both be hit on the head and reliase we need a proper striker now, kathy.[/quote]I think you''ve been hit on the head if you genuinely think what you''re typing is the correct spellings for the words you''re attempting to write.I hope you''ve been hit on the head anyway, otherwise your intellect, or rather, your inherent lack of any kind of intellect is critically concerning.

[quote user="Constable officer"]Morison left and Morison came. Becchio and him are the same player, as seen by what I saw a couple of seasons ago and the fact that leeds fans say much the same. And a striker from the MLS? Pfffffft[/quote]You''re either a child, a total moron, a tw@ or a troll.My bet is on a cheeky combo of all of the above.

[quote user="Scooby"][quote user="Wiz"]I''ll tell you why we need this guy:   If, God forbid, Holt gets an injury, that would leave either Kane, Jacko, Becchio or wotsisname from the MLS to do his job....would you feel confident with that?   Because, sure as hell, I wouldn''t! [/quote] I sincerely hope ''wotsismame'' rams your pathetic words where the sun doesn''t shine (which is probably everywhere in your miserable exsistence) you Muppet.[/quote]Seconded.

[quote user="The Walking Man "]BY&G - Surely we''ve got to test Sporting''s resolve, if they''re that hard up for money and we''re the only game in town who knows what might happen!?[/quote]There have been rumours of Fenerbahce interest for the past few days. Nothing firm, just rumours, but with Galatasaray signing Sneijder and Drogba, I wouldnt be surprised to see them break the bank for someone today. Whether it''s RVW is another matter, but it wouldnt shock me.

[quote user="Bethnal Yellow and Green"][quote user="NCFC1995"] i heard that hoopers deal has been agreed [/quote] From who?   If its a Twitter account with the containing the word ''agent'' or ''itk'' then don''t be so stupid. [/quote]This guy is a troll.

[quote user="AJ"]Seeing as his contract runs out in the summer, why would we pay 10m for him? From a business point of view it''s not a good deal - but that''s football I guess[/quote]18months on his contract mate.

[quote user="NCFC1995"]hooper deal has been agreed apparently so he could be ours by the end of the night :)[/quote]Funny, cuz SkySports literally JUST said that our bid has been rejected.

Sorry to start a new thread on this, but thought it was worth it.Took them hours to reject it, so maybe they gave it a bit of thought and we''re getting closer? Or they couldn''t get their chosen replacement in and our bid was enough for Hooper but not enough for them to accept without having Hooper replacement in the building for less money.

[quote user="clarkey1972"]Maybe its ward or ayala going[/quote]I know nothing of Birmingham''s squad except the obvious names, so this is pure conjecture, but Marlon King rumoured to be on the way out, maybe they dont fancy any of our CBs and would take Simeon and use the cash to replace Davies?

SSN spoke to Leon Barnett. Said he knows nothing about any deal involving him.

SkySports news are heading to a live feed at Colney shortly.SSN can be found by sitting in the first row if you''re not a sky subscriber.

[quote user="AJ"]I agree re: Turner. Despite a shaky start he''s thoroughly earned his place on the team sheet. Him and Bassong have got to be our first choice pairing regardless of signing Davies[/quote]Never thought ~I''d say this but I agree. He''s earnt his spot in the starting 11. This is coming from a guy who was ready to kneecap him after the first 8games or so when he cost us a goal or two every game!!! But since then he has really come on, and looks every bit a Prem defender.

Morison is lazy which is why alot of fans on here slate him. He doesn''t work hard for the team, he just assumes a teapot stance on the halfway line. That having been said, when he wants to, he can put the work in and do the running and when he does that he is very difficult for defenders to play against.Strengths: Big, physical, not pacey but not slow either. Excellent in the air.Weaknesses: Lazy, poor first touch, not clinical on the ground.

SSN just reported Leeds gave us cash.

SkySports reporting we''re not done yet. Hooper bid still lodged (not rejected yet apparently) and Davies deal is "close"... This would be the best transfer window I could remember if it works out!!!

[quote user="RUDOLPH HUCKER"]I see this deal as a player here to improve the bench and Becchio should be a better impact sub than Moro or Jackson currently are.[/quote]Yeah, that''s my instinct. The lad knows where the net is though, so he''s perfectly capable of forcing his way into the starting line up.

Norwich City FC ‏@NorwichCityFCTRANSFER NEWS: City have signed striker Luciano Becchio from Leeds United in a swap deal for Steve Morison - reaction to follow! Expand  Reply  Retweeted  Favorite  More

Becchio about to be confirmed then.

[quote user="Hog"][quote user="Butterbean_Canary"][quote user="Wiz"] [quote user="Hog"]Kind of says it all when looking at SSN the only other PL club with an interest was perenial relegation favourites Wigan....[/quote]   You''re learning Hog. [/quote] You two really are a pair of pricks [/quote]   No I just want the club to stay up and flourish in the PL. After having an active interest in Wolfswinkel a player chased by the worlds best not long ago I, along with others, are concerned that we may end up with an untried 28 Yr old from the MLS and a 29 Yr old journeyman from Leeds. Of course once they sign they have 100% of my support but you must admit to go from Wolfswinkel to Becchio is a little bit of a let down [/quote]And of course, Becchio signing means it''s impossible we would sign another striker doesn''t it? Especially considering, we have spent no money so far. I would think the club are working on getting the marquee signing in ASWELL as Becchio.Pair of pricks was right. When Wiz says "you''re learning", you should have realised you were being imperiously negative without foundation.
