Non Leeds transfer news and rumours

[Brader]

Ok - I cant lie, silly transfer windows are my favorite. I know we have one of these threads, But with the news coming through that Depay has signed for united. I thought it might be nice to have a thread about other clubs rumours etc.

My personal favorite so far is rickie lambert to chelsea as english cover for the departing drogba

Huge signing for us. Starting to warm to Cellino with this.

[Ratscoot]

Taxi driver told me Messi is going to Spurs they are going to swop him for Soldado

[Genghers]

Yeah, assuming this is van Gaal using his Dutch connections again.

Jay Emanuel Thomas on Soccer AM he's a beast of a guy, surprised Bristol City have let him go, apparently Forest and Brum are interested in signing him, probably wouldn't be a bad for us

[Brader]

Did he used to play for arsenal? Id be interested to see who picked the carcass of QPR, austin first out the door.

[Ratscoot]

Hi Brader

Yep Jay was at Arsenal, the mercenaries at QPR will be all rushing out the door by the time the coach gets back to London, I can't see many of the first team squad still been there next season. I think Austin deserves a move to a better club as him and Green have been probably the only two really trying, especially these last few months.

Jamie Ward: Derby release striker but Eustace deal considered

Jamie Ward is one of six players who has not been offered a new contract by Derby County, but the club are still considering a deal for John Eustace.

Ward made 29 appearances for the Rams this season, scoring six goals.
Midfielder Eustace, 35, was injured from early January.
But he played 14 times before then and impressed in the holding role and the club are "reviewing his situation".

Alan Dunne among 18 Millwall players released

Long-serving defender Alan Dunne is one of 18 players released by Millwall boss Neil Harris following their relegation from the Championship.
Dunne, 32, came through the south London club's academy and made a total of 388 appearances for the Lions, scoring 23 goals.
Carlos Edwards, Ricardo Fuller, Danny Shittu and Martyn Woolford are among the 17 other players leaving The Den.
Harris will offer new deals to Jimmy Abdou and John Marquis.
On the departure of Dunne, Millwall chairman John Berylson told the club website: "It is always sad when a member of your family who has lived with you for a long time leaves home.
"He has written his own chapter in Millwall's history and he will always be very welcome whenever he returns.
"While Alan will continue his playing career elsewhere, it would not surprise me to see him back here in some capacity further down the line."
Senior players Nicky Bailey, Matthew Briggs, Richard Chaplow, Magaye Gueye, Justin Hoyte, Stefan Maierhofer and Angel Martinez have all been deemed surplus to requirements by Harris, who was appointed boss last week following a spell in interim charge.
Youngsters Dylan Casey, Sofiane El-Bekri, Denzel Gerrar, Jake Goodman, Josh Siafa and Callum Webb will also depart the club.
Edwards, 36, has been sidelined with a serious knee injury since September but has been offered the chance to continue his rehabilitation with the Lions.

Think your heart is ruling your head on that one. 31 years old now, 1 goal in 5 at Bolton- albeit with a very good record at PNE.

Is he going to move us forwards? Sorry I don't think so. Better to fondly remember him as he was with us.

Heart's saying one thing, head another. I think if Preston get promoted, his best bet is to stick with them and hope to carry on the momentum into the Championship. Too much previous expectations thrown on his shoulders if he comes here. Added to the fact we've a completely different squad here, new manager, new owners... completely different to when he was here. There is more of that Leeds team at Preston than here!

Plus weren't we told we wouldn't be signing players over 30? And he probably wouldn't be our main striker due to his fitness, so God knows what we will pay him with, because we can't pay players to sit on the bench.

The current bench are playing for free then??

Think he'd be a good squad player personally, but think he's be silly not to stay at pne

He knows what a hard job it would be to keep that team going. Did a great job keeping them up, but as he's retiring I can imagine he doesn't want the stress!
