| I hope we sign Distin from City. Out of contract i believe and City been good in defence this season and he, along with Dunne, the main reason.

Players like Distin would take us to the next level IMO. Pace throughout the team would see us pushing the teams in the top 4 and in europe should we qualify.
We need a much deeper squad and better quality than we had on our last european campaign.

| Certainly pace is lacking in the team. We were linked with Camara from Wigan and i could see a front three of him, Elk and Diouf being really effective, especially away from home. Perhaps big Kev used more at home were teams sit much deeper and a bit of brute force is sometimes needed!

Trouble is we were well and truly found out when Davies was injured so I can't see big Sam opting for a front 3 with just pace and Flair just yet, we still need a bruiser with the way we play.

Apparently were interested in this geezer. Translated from French on Wik i like the cut of this man's gib
Andre-Pierre Gignac is a French footballer born on December 5 1985 in Martigues (Rhone delta, France), he measures 1m87 for 90 kg. Formed in Martigue]], the club decides to lend it for six months in Pau during the winter 2005 in the championship of National. Author of 8 achievements on the hen return, it asserts himself on his return to the face of the attack of Hakes to the detriment of chevronés players, with the image of Steve Marlet (better player of the club) or of Fabrice Fiorèse.
Among his qualities, one will retain an obvious facility to protect his balloon from the unfavourable defender as well as a direction of the pushed collective play, helped well in that by the system of play set up by Christian Gourcuff, current trainer and legendary figure of the club. This season, Gignac marked the spirits by registering a triplet at the time of his very first match of League 1 as a holder against the FC Nantes.
It is not its first feat of arms since at the time of the season 2004-2005, it marked its first professional goal Leagues of them 2 at the time of its first professional match and on its first balloon.
It is a potential candidate with the Team of France, consent even of the selector Raymond Domenech which evoked its qualities at the time of a video published on the official site of the French Federation of Football.
protecting his balloon could be very useful

From Sky Sports Bad News even before next season starts :-
FC Zurich midfielder Blerim Dzemaili (21 Yrs) will be out for around six months after rupturing cruciate knee ligaments.
It appears that the injury came in a training session, and is now not likely to make his debut until sometime in October.

| That's always the risk when you sign pre-contract agreements. I suspect there may be a clause in his contract to cover pre-signing injuries and I wouldn't be surprised if the club have some kind of insurance policy for it as well. Its a shame because he looks like a really good prospect.

Looks like BWFC are sending him off to Ricardo's saviour Mr Steadman straight away. Seem to remember Laville turned down that option and went to some quack he'd been to before, and wasn't very successful.
But after signing a demmick like Fortune last summer, seems we're jinxed.

Now appears that Chelsea are also after Philliskirk's son, but also says that they must top Boltons £75k offer already made. Also says that the 15year marksman has a promising future and want to finish off his football education with a Premiership Club.

Given the option then, will Philliskirk chose a club that will invest in his future, pay him a small fortune and play him in occasional matches from the bench or go for the loyalty option, a club who his dad played for but who will ultimately leave him languishing in the reserves kicking his heels until they transfer him to a club in the back of the beyond on a small annual pittance.
The choice is yours son.

So you think he will do better at Chelsea then. Who was the last player to come through the Chelsea academay and make it to the first team?

Yep, I do think he'll do better, both financially and in terms of playing football. Chelsea use their young talent and Ok they may not have brought many up through the system in the past few years, but then their strategy was always to buy big and support that with a youth policy once established as a top team. They are only a few years into that plan.

I'm sick of us being linked with all these "ones for the future" or complete unknown's when will we be linked with somebody we have actually heard of who is worthy of any note?
Of course we have been successful with many of the unknowns like Ben Haim and Faye but for every one of those there is an Idan Tal or a Blessing Kaku surely after 3 consecutive top 8 finishes we should be looking to attract more proven better quality to the club to supplement the likes of Anelka and Diouf?
The excuse of no money doesn't wash anymore, not with the extra coming in next season.
We need 5 first teamers for me to replace, Ben Haim, Speed, Campo, Hunt and Gardener. The latter because he is ridiculously injury prone.

We've already pre-sgined Cid and the Swiss lad (Dzemaili) who aren't ones for the future but who are young players that are highly thought of in their own countries. Cid, especially, can be seen as a a bit of a coup.
Don't normally think much of rumours - mostly paper talk.
And as for next season's money - well, all the premiership sides will have extra money to spend so we have to be careful not to be outbid by the usual suspects. We might offer £10M for a player but if Spurs offer £12M, he'll go to them nine times out of ten.

Dzemaili is supposed to be the replacement for Speed (so it is a good job that Speed isn't leaving yet) and Michalik is almost certainly Ben Haim's replacement and, based on Saturday's debut and the reports from Leeds, he looks like a good signing. I think Martin can play at left back (but correct me if I am wrong) and so may take over from Gardner who I would like to see back in midfield instead of Stelios. We do need a real holding midfielder of Campo's class to replace him but I have no idea where he will come from.

TBH I wouldn't mind Benayoun. I know he rejected us before and he's more likely to go to Spurs but that little bit of inventiveness could be just what we need.

I wouldn't object either but he isn't going to come to the frozen north.

I don't think Cesar would be a good left-back, he hasn't got much pace.

The Rumour Mill still keeps turning :- The Latest being that Francisco Pavon, the Real Madrid Defender will be out of contract in the Summer and is supposedly going to sign a 4 year contract with the Wanderers.

Bolton interest in Hibs' Murphy
Bolton Wanderers are tracking Hibernian's English left-back, David Murphy, BBC Sport understands.
Representatives of the English Premiership club were at Hampden Park on Tuesday to see Murphy in action in the Scottish Cup semi-final replay.
But Murphy had a quiet game as Hibs lost 1-0 to Dunfermline.
The 23-year-old has been a regular starter for the Scottish Premier League outfit since arriving from Middlesbrough in summer 2004.
