Well, it’s all over…

A very frantic last hour for Lawrie and the gang but this evening has seen Diop and Liam leave for Pompey and Reading, respectively, while Danny Murphy has arrived from Spurs, Seol Ki-Hyeon from Reading and Shefki Kuqi has come over from Crystal Palace….Personally i feel a bit underwhelmed by tonight’s activities. I was hoping [...]

Transfer deadline updates

Midnight – The transfer window is shut at last…phew!
23:54 – Now saying the Seol deal is for three years…details about the Murphy deal still unclear at this stage…
23:50 – Interview with Nicky Hammond, Reading’s director of football, who says he is “absolutley delighted” to sign Rosenior as he brings “versatility to the side”. Seol, he [...]

Three new players could be in before midnight!

Well, that was an interesting interview with Sanchez on the official site…He is apparently in the hunt for three more players before the deadline closes at midnight and seems virtually certain that at least one of them will sign.
My guess is that it will be a striker as he made it clear he needs a [...]

The transfer window deadline is approaching…fast

I hate the last few hours of the transfer windows as there is always the fear of a shock exit that you didn’t see coming. I remember how choked I felt when I heard on the car radio that Rufus Brevett was heading to West Ham…now there was a tough defender!
A player who won’t be [...]

Curse of the captain’s armband

I’m beginning to seriously think that the Fulham Captain’s armband is cursed…Just about everyone who has worn it over the past 10 years has either been sold while in situ or suffered a serious injury. If you don’t believe me, look at the list below. If i’ve missed anyone out – or you think I’ve [...]

Zat Knight – in The Sun

The morning rumour mill

I just thought I’d write an update on the rumours doing the rounds about the players which might be on their way to the Cottage – and those going the other way.
Potential arrivals gateWe are apparently interested in the following:Jason Roberts, striker, BlackburnDejan Stefanovic, defender, PompeySammy Traore, defender PSGBobby Zamora, striker, West HamSteve Howard, striker, [...]

It’s confirmed – Zat has gone

Yes, the big man has gone to Villa – as confirmed by the official site. I must admit to not having seen this coming at all – especially since he signed a contract extension a short while ago – as well as mixed feelings. As frustrating as Zat could be – and there’s been plenty [...]

Zat Knight – A Villa fan’s view

Damian, who runs the AVFCblog.com, kindly agreed to give us his take on the prospect of Villa signing Zat Knight:
“He’s a central defender and nobody at Villa will disagree that a central defender is needed at the club. Some Villa fans are going to question spending £4mn. on a squad player.
However, it’s not really about [...]
