Birmingham City Transfer News and Rumours, Wednesday 2 March
Birmingham City defender Roger Johnson is ready for the challenge of European football next season and is willing to ignore the attentions of some of the Premier League big guns, according to Metro.
Johnson is rumoured to be a target for both Liverpool and Spurs but team-mate Ben Foster says he expects the 27-year-old to remain at St Andrews next season as they prepare to face the Europa League next season following their 2-1 win over Arsenal in the Carling Cup Final on Sunday.
“With the amount of money some teams have, everybody has their price,” said Foster. “But we need him playing for us, doing the job he does for us.”
However, one man who looks set to leave St Andrews is Lee Bowyer. The 34-year-old midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and says he has already been told that there will be no new deal.
“My deal is done in the summer here at Birmingham so I will be looking elsewhere,” he said.
“I think at the moment the club have said no and a new contract is not going to happen.
“I wanted to stay anyway even before we won the cup. They might want to keep me on – you never know. It is not up to me, it is up to the club. All I can do is try to put in performances.”
However, the veteran still thinks he can do a job and is looking to stay in the game.
“I’m 34 and I can still do it, so we will have to see what happens. I feel good,” he said.
A combative midfielder, Bowyer has played 68 games for the Blues since signing on a two-year deal from West Ham in 2009. He has played 568 games in a 17-year career, scoring 95 goals.

Stoke City Transfer News and Rumours, Sunday 2 January
Gudjohnsen Looks Set To Leave Stoke
Eidur Gudjohnsen may be on his way out of Stoke City after less than six months at the club.
The 32-year-old was signed in a £2 million deal from Monaco at the beginning of September but has failed to score for Stoke in five appearances.
Manager Tony Pulis is said to be unhappy about Gudjohnsen’s fitness levels and has admitted that the Icelander could be sold.
“If there’s a deal you think is right for the club and the player thinks is right for him, then you get the deal done,” Pulis said last week.
Brendan Rogers is said to be interested in giving the 32-year-old a chance at Swansea City. Rogers knows Gudjohnsen from their time together at Chelsea and believes he may find his level in the Championship.

Manchester United Transfer News and Rumours, Sunday 2 January
United Set To Send Macheda Out On Loan
Manchester United are set to send Federico Macheda out on loan this month.
The 19-year-old Italian was linked with a loan move back to his old club Lazio last summer but Sir Alex Ferguson wants him to go to a Premier League club and has revealed that he is willing to let the youngster go to the club that can give him the most playing time.
Aston Villa are believed to have already been in touch but Ferguson said that playing time is at the forefront of his mind.
“Macheda has to play games. Clubs who convince me and the player that he’ll get games are the ones we’ll consider.”
Other clubs said to be interested in taking Macheda are Everton, Wigan and West Ham.

Liverpool Transfer News and Rumours, Sunday 2 January
Liverpool Keen On Mertesacker
Liverpool are interested in Germany international full-back Per Mertesacker, according to the Sunday Mirror.
The club’s director of football strategy Damien Commolli watched the Werder Bremen defender in action before Christmas and the paper says he has recommended that the club put in a bid.
Werder are believed to be ready to sell now they are out of the Champions League but are believed to want a fee of at least £10 million for the 26-year-old.
Speculation last summer strongly linked Arsenal with Mertesacker though Werder director Klaus Allofs denied that any enquiry was received.
There is speculation that should Liverpool sign the German it could lead to the departure from Anfield of Daniel Agger; however, boss Roy Hodgson said on Friday that the Dane remains part of his plans.
“If ever you hear Daniel Agger is being ‘offered’, it’s not by Liverpool Football Club – it’s by unscrupulous people who are second guessing and looking at players who have not been in the team in the last couple of weeks and suggesting they might be available” Hodgson said.

Tottenham Transfer News and Rumours, Sunday 2 January
Spurs To Bid £1.5m For Pienaar
Spurs are set to bid £1.5 million for Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar.
Harry Redknapp was linked with the South African last summer as he looked for a way out of Goodison Park but with his deal set to expire at the end of the season Redknapp has been biding his time and is looking to put in a cut-price bid to land him this month.
However, Everton boss David Moyes is looking for at least £3 million for Pienaar, who has turned down the offer of a new deal at Goodison worth said to be worth around £55,000 a week.
Spurs Prepare For Beckham By Off-Loading Bentley
Spurs are preparing for the possible arrival of David Beckham by moving David Bentley on to Newcastle United, according to the Daily Mail.
The paper suggests that Alan Pardew is keen for the 26-year-old to link up with striker Andy Carroll and that Spurs are ready to take a big hit on the £15 million they paid Blackburn for Bentley in 2008.
The midfielder has found it difficult to hold down a regular first-team berth at White Hart Lane and the paper suggests that he may head to St James’s Park even if Spurs don’t manage to pull off the loan signing of Beckham this month.
Meanwhile, reports today of a loan move to Newcastle for Robbie Keane seem somewhat wide of the mark – at least for the time being.
Harry Redknapp has already ruled out a loan deal for the 30-year-old Irishman whom he is only willing to let go on a permanent move.
Newcastle have been reported in today’s News Of The World of being interested in loan deal for Keane this month leading to a permanent move in the summer if all goes well.
Spurs May Bid for Samba
The Sunday Mirror suggests that Spurs may also put in a bid for Blackburn defender Chris Samba.
The Congo international has been told he can leave Ewood Park after speaking out about Rovers’ owners’ dismissal of manager Sam Allardyce and Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is interested in signing him to plug the gaps in the centre of his defence.
Although Spurs have six central defenders Jonathan Woodgate and Ledley King both have ongoing injury problems while William Gallas is finding the pace of the Premier League hard at 33 years old.
With the knockout stages of the Champions League looming Spurs are left with Michael Dawson, Younes Kaboul and Sebastien Bassong at centre half.

Chelsea Transfer News and Rumours, Sunday 2 January
Chelsea Consider £2m Bothroyd Bid
Chelsea are considering a £2 million bid for Cardiff City striker Jay Bothroyd, according to the Mail On Sunday.
The England international is out of contract at the end of the season and the paper says that Bluebirds’ boss Dave Jones accepts that he is likely to move on this month rather than go on a free transfer in the summer.
Birmingham City and West Ham United are also interested in signing Bothroyd but the Mail suggests that with only a restricted transfer budget in place this month Carlo Ancelotti regards a £2 million bid as good business as Bothroyd would provide cover for Didier Drogba.

Aston Villa Transfer News and Rumours, Friday 31 December
Villa Set To Hold Talks With Young
Aston Villa are set to hold talks with Ashley Young in a bid to keep the England winger at Villa Park.
The 25-year-old has stalled on talks about signing a new £75,000-a-week contract at Villa Park and has been linked with a move to Manchester United, Spurs or Liverpool. However, Villa chief executive Paul Faulkner is set to speak to Young before Sunday’s clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in an effort to get him to change his mind.
Young has 18 months left on his current deal and Villa will make a decision regarding his sale after his talks with Faulkner. The club may decide to sell him in January to take full advantage of his £25 million valuation which is likely to fall as his contract moves towards its expiry.
After rumours in the summer linking him with a move to Spurs, Young is favourite to move to Manchester United as Sir Alex Ferguson steps up his attempts to find a replacement for Ryan Giggs.

West Ham Transfer News and Rumours, Tuesday 28 December
Piquionne Refuses to Rule Out Villa Move
West Ham striker Frederic Piquionne has refused to move out a rule to Aston Villa in January.
Despite only arriving at Upton Park during the summer the 32-year-old has been linked with a move to the midlands where he would team up with French coach Gerard Houllier.
Asked by a French radio reporter about a move to Villa Park Piquionne replied: “Why not? He is a very well renowned coach in France and in England. I have read there is some interest but there has been nothing concrete. I am not worried about it.
He added: “I am happy at West Ham and it is going relatively well for now. I am here to help the team climb the table. I leave my agents to deal with the transfer window.”
Piquionne was signed by his former manager at Portsmouth, Avram Grant, in a £1 million deal in July.
West Ham Close In On £6m Ba
Meanwhile, West Ham are closing in on the £6 million signing of Hoffenheim striker Demba Ba.
The French-born Senegal international has hit six goals in 17 league games this season for the Bundesliga side and was recently linked with a move to Aston Villa.
The 25-year-old had a season at Watford in 2004-05 but failed to make the grade at Vicarage Road and moved back to France for spells with Rouen and Mouscron before joining Hoffenheim in 2007.
The 6ft 3in Ba has a reputation in Germany as a powerful target man. His most successful season was in 2008-09 when he scored 14 goals for a Hoffenheim side that at one stage was challenging for the league title before fading away in the second half of the season.

Liverpool Transfer News and Rumours, Tuesday 28 December
Huth Bid Set To Fail
Liverpool look set to fail in their attempt to sign Stoke defender Robert Huth. The 26-year-old centre-half was said last week to be the subject of some interest from the Anfield side who were ready to put in a £5 million bid, but the German defender said he is happy enough at the Britannia Stadium.
“I had some texts telling me about the story,” he said. “It doesn’t bother me because it’s great here at Stoke for me.’’
Liverpool Interested In Palace Striker
Liverpool are interested in signing Crystal Palace teenager Wilfried Zaha.
The 18-year-old Ivorian striker has scored once in 14 games this season but with Palace financially stricken and manager George Burley keen to raise funds to bring in new faces a £2 million bid from the Anfield side could see Zaha heading north.
Liverpool have watched him play on a number of occasions but could face competition for his signature with Fulham also said to be interested.

Newcastle United Transfer News and Rumours, Tuesday 28 December
Carroll Pledges Future to Newcastle
Andy Carroll has pledged his future to Newcastle United, though it remains to be seen whether the club’s owners will want to cash in on him.
The news came from Toon boss Alan Pardew who said that Carroll informed him on Christmas Day that he has no intentions of leaving the club he supported as a boy.
Carroll has been linked with Spurs, Manchester City and Chelsea in recent weeks but in a training ground exchange Pardew was told that a move away from St James’s Park was furthest away from Carroll’s mind.
“I spoke to Andy on Christmas Day,” said Pardew. “I asked him what he wanted to do; if he wanted to stay.
“I said to Andy, ‘I do not want to talk for you; we are talking together. If you remain here it is great news for us. But it is important that you want to stay.’
“Wanting to stay was the case that Andy put to me and it is great news because we will make sure he does. That is why I am so confident there will be no problem with Andy in January – or, hopefully, next summer, the following January and the summer after that. He is handling all the speculation very well but the most important thing is that Andy wants to play for Newcastle United.”
Carroll has been in impressive form scoring 11 times in the first half of the season as Newcastle have consolidated their position in the Premier League.
‘Villa In Barton Move’ – Report
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail speculates that Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier will make a move for Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton.
Houllier is confident he can prise the tempestuous midfielder away from St James’s Park but Alan Pardew wants to hold on to Barton and is ready to offer him a new contract, while Barton himself said recently that he wants to spend the rest of his career at Newcastle.
Taylor Delighted With New Deal
Newcastle defender Steven Taylor says he is delighted to have signed a new contract with Newcastle.
The former England under-21 star signed a five-and-a-half year deal at St James’s Park after months of speculation and says the future looks bright for the club and its young players.
“The club are going forward now,” he said. “A few players have signed five-year contracts.
“I wanted stability at this football club, and they have proved they wanted me for the next five and a half years.
“That is all I cared about. There is a structure at this football club and I am happy with that.

Manchester City Transfer News and Rumours, Tuesday 28 December
City In Talks With Dzeko Agent
Manchester City have begun talks with Edin Dzeko’s agent over a £30 million move to Eastlands in January, according to the Daily Mail.
The Bosnian striker’s club, Wolfsburg, were reported to have dropped their asking price despite the club’s lowly position in the Bundesliga at the half-way stage.
The paper understands that City will make a down-payment of £30 million for Dzeko with additional add-ons and performance-related bonuses to follow.
Dzeko has scored 10 goals for Wolfsburg this season and is also wanted by Juventus and Liverpool but after City’s pursuit of him during the summer he wrote to the club telling them how much he admires City and how much he wants to play for the side.
New Wolfsburg boss Steve McLaren gave Dzeko the captain’s armband in a bid to placate the striker, a move which didn’t go down well with the rest of the Wolfsburg side. Now with the club struggling in 13th place as the Bundesliga starts its winter break McLaren has decided to part with his side’s best player in a bid to stop the rot and bring some harmony into the camp. As a result Wolfsburg has dropped its £38 million asking price.
West Ham Keen On Bridge Loan
West Ham are interested in taking Wayne Bridge on loan from Manchester City for the rest of the season.
The Hammers are looking for City to subsidise at least some of the former England international’s £90,000-a-week wages but City are looking to get some of their high earners completely off the payroll and West Ham will have to fund the whole of Bridge’s salary themselves.
Balotelli Struggling With Life In England
Mario Balotelli is struggling to adapt to life in England and has told friends in Italy that he wants to move back to his homeland, according to reports in a number of today’s papers.
The striker, signed for £25 million at the start of the season from Inter Milan, is believed to have struggled to make friends with his team-mates and believes that the situation isn’t going to improve.
Balotelli was seen speaking to AC Milan director Adriano Galliano following the recent Milan derby leading to speculation that Balotelli was looking for a move to the club he has openly admitted that he supports.
The 20-year-old has scored five times in his 10 appearances for City this season but has also picked up four yellow cards and one red.
Santa Cruz Set For Lazio Move
Roque Santa Cruz looks set to move on from Manchester City in the January transfer window.
The Paraguayan striker has been looking for an exit from Eastlands since it became obvious last summer that he was no longer in Roberto Mancini’s plans after just a season at the club. Fulham and Marseille have been linked with a move for Santa Cruz but Lazio have emerged as the most likely destination, according to the Daily Mail, just six months after a loan move to the Serie A side broke down.
According to the Mail, Lazio will pay City £250,000 for a six-month loan with a view to a £2.5 million permanent transfer in the summer. That represents a £15 million loss on a player they signed from Blackburn for around £17.5 million in the summer of 2009.
City Set for £7m Diarra Bid – Report
Manchester City are looking to make a £7 million bid for Bordeaux’s former Liverpool defensive midfielder Alou Diarra.
The French newspaper Le Parisien reports that Bordeaux are keen to hang on to the 29-year-old who didn’t make a single appearance for Liverpool during a two-year spell at Anfield between 2002 and 2004.

Liverpool Transfer News and Rumours,
Liverpool Linked With Dzeko Move
Liverpool are the latest club to be linked with a move for Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko.
The surprise news comes as Manchester City renew their interest in the Bosnian international with whom they were linked during the close season.
Wolfsburg want a fee of £38 million for Dzeko although the release clause in his contract is set at 40 million euros (£34 million). Both Liverpool and City have offered players in part-exchange for Dzeko; Liverpool have offered Ryan Babel and Daniel Agger while City have offered Togo international striker Emmanuel Adebayor although he has turned down the prospect of a move to Germany.
Whether or not Wolfsburg will part with Dzeko remains to be seen as the Bosnian is their top scorer with 10 goals as the Bundesliga heads into its winter break. The side lies perilously close to the drop zone with Dzeko’s contribution arguably keeping them out of one of the relegation slots. As it is they lie just four points above the drop zone.
Even if Babel and Agger do go to Wolfsburg as part of the deal Liverpool’s new owners NESV are likely to have stump up a considerabe amount of cash before the deal can go through.

Liverpool ‘Set For Huth Bid’
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is looking to make a £5 million bid for Stoke defender Robert Huth, according to the Daily Mirror.
With Jamie Carragher out for up to three months and Daniel Agger’s season also hit by injury Hodgson is looking to beef up his defensive options and is set to make an opening offer to tempt Huth away from the Britannia Stadium.
Stoke boss Tony Pulis is likely to resist any bids for the player – certainly any bid less than the £6 million Huth cost last year.

Tottenham Transfer News and Rumours, Thursday 23 December
Spurs Linked with Julio Baptista
Former Arsenal striker Julio Baptista could be on his way back to North London – only this time with Spurs.
The Brazilian – now with Serie A side Roma – has revealed that he has received an offer from an English club and TalkSport are speculating that club is Spurs.
“I have received something but there is nothing formal,” he told Canal Sur in Spain. “There is an offer from Brazil and one from England.” However, Baptista did reveal that he had had no offer from either of the Manchester clubs.
Baptista spent the 2006-07 season on loan at the Emirates and although he scored 10 times for the Gunners the majority of those were in Cup games.

Steve Kean Appointed Blackburn Rovers Manager To End Of Season
Kean Takes Temporary Charge
Blackburn Rovers have appointed Steve Kean as manager until the end of the season.
Kean took temporary charge of the club after they sacked Sam Allardyce last week but after talks with the club’s owners, Venky’s, in India this week the club has announced on its website that “Venkys London Limited – Blackburn Rovers – has decided to continue with Mr. Steve Kean as Manager, until the end of the season, June 2011.”
After a playing career with Celtic, Swansea and Portugese side Academica Coimbra Kean worked as a coach at Reading, Fulham, Real Sociedad and Coventry City before being appointed first-team coach at Blackburn in 2009.
Yesterday Venky’s chair Anuradha Desai told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: “Steve will still be doing the job January.
“He will have control over the signings in January and, although he will have to discuss things with the board, he will have the final say.”
However, it now appears that Kean will remain as team manager until the end of the season though in the absence of a bigger name some Rovers supporters may well wonder why Allardyce wasn’t kept on.
Kean is expected to have a transfer budget of around £5 million.

Sunderland Transfer News and Rumours, Wednesday 22 December
Sunderland Eye Up City Pair
Sunderland are looking to sign Manchester City duo Adam Johnson and Nedum Onuoha according to the Daily Mail.
The City defender is already on loan at the Stadium Of Light and Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is ready to offer £6 million to make the deal permanent. Onuoha has impressed at centre-half and right-back this season and has enjoyed playing regular first-team football.
Bruce is also set to make an offer to take Johnson on loan for the rest of the season. The Black Cats thought they had landed Johnson in a £6 million transfer from Middlesbrough in January of this year but a last-minute £8 million bid from City along with £60,000 a week in wages saw Johnson snatched from under Steve Bruce’s nose.
However, like so many of City’s stars, Johnson has found a regular start in the first team hard to come by and although he has failed to appear in just four games this season most of his appearances have come off the sub’s bench.
Last month he told The Sun that he would consider a move away from Eastlands to get first-team football but added that it was too early then to make a decision. Johnson’s family still live in the north-east but the former Middlesbrough academy graduate would either have to move on a permanent deal or see Onuoha’s or Danny Welbeck’s loan deals become permanent moves as Premier League rules state that clubs may only loan two players from other English clubs.

Blackburn Rovers Transfer News and Rumours, Wednesday 22 December
Samba In Blackburn Quit Threat
Blackburn Rovers defender Christopher Samba is ready to quit the club following the sacking of Sam Allardyce.
The Blackburn skipper is upset over the sacking of Allardyce and has told The Sun: “If this is the way the club’s going to be run from now on, I don’t want to be part of it and I want to leave.
“As captain it’s very difficult to say this but I’ve thought long and hard about it. Nobody in football understands the decision to sack Sam.”
Samba praised Allardyce for the job he did last season taking Rovers to 10th position in the Premier League having taken over a side in the relegation zone at the end of 2008.
“Sam saved the club, so how can he be treated like this now?”
He added: “The players and fans need answers about the club’s future. Unless we commit to who the manager is, how can we attract big players in January?
The 26-year-old Congo international was signed for Blackburn by Mark Hughes at the beginning of 2007 in a £450,000 deal from Hertha Berlin and has since made 150 appearances for the club.
There has been widespread criticism over the sacking of Allardyce and the role of football agency Kentaro-SEM in his dismissal. It is believed that Allardyce put forward a list of transfer targets to Rovers’ new owners, the Venky’s group, and that Kentaro-SEM put forward another list. At that stage Venky’s decided to part company with their manager.
Allardyce’s former coach, Steve Kean, himself a Kentaro-SEM client, is in temporary charge at the club and the Lancashire Evening Telegraph suggests that he may be given until March to prove himself. Venky’s are believed to be ready to give Kean a transfer kitty and the opportunity to prove that he’s the man for the job.
Venky’s chair Anuradha Desai told the paper: “Steve will still be doing the job January.
“He will have control over the signings in January and, although he will have to discuss things with the board, he will have the final say.
“There is more than £5million available to him. I would rather not say how much, I will say that when the time is right, but I can say there will be a lot more than £5m.
“We are looking at options for January but please give us some time.”
