MikeyT Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 Remember him being linked with us a few years ago. Seems an odd move to me. Skysports.com understands former Hibernian star Derek Riordan has joined Chinese Super League side Shaanxi Chanba.

Pretty economical and 0-60 in a decent time.

Corky Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 I thought Jordan Stewart was the next big thing when he came into our team. And so it proved.
Happy Fox Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11715_7025075,00.html Skysports.com understands that Leeds have made a move to take Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale on loan. Stockdale: Leeds link Simon Grayson's side are searching for another keeper after allowing Kasper Schmeichel to join Championship rivals Leicester, and have considered a number of options. The likes of Jerzy Dudek and Andy Lonergan had been in Grayson's thoughts, but Stockdale is now believed to be their top target. Stockdale has earned good reviews for his performances over the past couple of seasons but remains behind Mark Schwarzer in the Craven Cottage pecking order. The 25-year-old has also attracted interest from Swansea but Leeds will be hoping their desire to sign him on loan rather than permanently works in their favour.

Mee Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 John Arne Riise set to have Fulham medicalRiise already has experience of playing in the Premier League Fulham manager Martin Jol has confirmed that former Liverpool defender John Arne Riise is close to completing a move from Roma to Craven Cottage. The 30-year-old Norwegian is due to undergo a medical with Fulham, suggesting terms have been agreed with the Serie A club. "He's coming for a medical. If that's okay we've got ourselves a very good player," said Jol. Riise's younger brother Bjorn Helge Riise is already on Fulham's books. He came off the bench in Thursday's goalless draw with NSI Runavik which saw the club progress into the second qualifying round of the Europa League. John Arne Riise spent seven years with Liverpool, making 371 appearances and scoring 34 goals before moving to Roma in 2008. He played against his brother and Fulham in the 2009/10 Europa League group stages. Loved Riise at Liverpool. Would be great to see him back in England.
Bugg Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 Loved Riise at Liverpool. Would be great to see him back in England. Please make it happen, I miss his 30 yard piledrivers.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Deek. Sad, sad times. It's a good deal with good wages

Stevosevic Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Wes Brown joins Sunderland for a fee believed to be around £1m - BBC. £1m
shen Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 £1m He was more than likely on a hefty wage at Man U, hence the low price.
SystonFox Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 He was more than likely on a hefty wage at Man U, hence the low price. What has the transfer fee got to do with his wage? Just saying
Dickie Greenleaf Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Because when a club budgets and thinks about buying players they look at how long they are giving him a contract for and what wages he'll be on + the fee to get an overall idea of how much he's going to cost. Utd will have allowed a relatively low fee to a) get a mid- to reasonably high earner off their books b) allow him to still get higher wages at Sunderland
SystonFox Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 I see what your saying but it doesn't make complete sense. Wage is irrelevant to transfer fee surely? Two different aspects of the "transfer"
Dickie Greenleaf Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 But it all comes out of a 'players budget' so to speak. Fees and wages are therefore mutually dependant. Spend too much on one and you're left with less for the other. Ferguson allowing Brown to go for £1mill allows Sunderland to pay him higher wages than they would have if they'd had to pay his 'market value' so to speak.
