Goodison is a no-no, apparently - it's undergoing "structural work" at the moment.

If you can bag an extra somewhere, Kev, I'd be up for a meet.

Well, Ipswich managed to sign two players (Nicky Forster and Sam Parkin) to replace the four that have left... Hope we get automatic promotion this year, don't think I can stand another play-offs.

And I don't rate Southampton's chances of going straight back up. The Championship is so competitive, looks like Peter Crouch is going and then there's the internal strife of Redknapp vs Sir Clive Woodward to resolve...

That'd be great SB. I will see what I can do: hopefully it shouldn't be too much of a problem ticket-wise at this early stage. I will struggle to get to a mid-week game at Wrexham though, if that's were it ends up being played. If it's at Goodison (looking doubtful now) then that'd be excellent.
Barring anything extraordinary happening at home then I'm lookingto get to at least one of them

Watch this space

So it now looks like a building site instead of a bomb site.

Still looking for a Toon striker or three......getting a bit concerned

Kuqi going worries me a lot as at times he kept Ipswich in games and never gave up whilst the rest of the players clearly wanted to get back to their home-cinemas. Even hardened Championship defenders bounced off him. Whether these two can fill the gaps up front I don't know, I hear good things about them, plus Bowditch is handy on his day so I'm positive. We are now a team of *complete* unknowns but given we have the best Youth Team in the country, there's a silver lining for the future.

Going straight back up is very very difficult.

There are rumours that Souness is tying up a deal for Nihat as well as Emre, so that would be one striker, then.

Don't know anything about Nihat, though, other than his head must get cold in the winter.

Everton have a new central defender (Danish centre back Per Kroldrup from Udinese).

And apparently Big Nev has urged David Moyes to sign Bellamy

(but says to not bother trying to tame him - just live with him!). I suppose when he wants to play, he is top class. I just hope he really wants to play.

Hmmmm. Interesting. Newcastle have fined Laurent Robert for his latest outburst, thus revealing that he must only be on loan at Portsmouth, and wasn't actually sold to them.

They're all coming back, Robert, Bellamy

Hurray!

Although, if Uncle Malcolm wants to buy them, the transfer fee wouldn't be too high (although the wages would). And they'd be better than Giggs and Saha!

I've heard a fascinating rumour about a shock signing for Liverpool, today.

If it happens, I'll be very, very happy.

Figo? Supposedly you're getting him (and Zenden).

Owen?
