Transfers - 2012

[Jaspa]

I read somewhere that Blackpool are considering an offer for Barton.

BBC Gossip column

[RonnieTodger]

Alan Maybury to Birmingham. What the fuck

EDIT: Was on Wikipedia and the guy updating the transfer section obviously heard who he'd joined wrong. He's gone to Hibernian

[Fox92]

Alan Maybury to Birmingham. What the fuck

He's only just signed for Hibs...

Just been reading he was 'stunned' by the atmosphere at Easter Road in his first Edinburgh derby. Obviously played for Hearts before us, now at Hibernian.

Can anyone remember his goal against Sunderland for us? Striker's finish.

We've agreed a deal to sign someone but have to wait until the club sign a replacement before it can be finalised

Matt Derbyshire?

Matt Derbyshire?

[RedHux]

Ishmael Miller? (assuming he'd survive the journey up the M1 without picking up an injury).

I'd take him, assuming he gets injured a lot?

[RedHux]

Yep. I was quite pleased when we signed him but it seems he can only do the one thing (turn and run with the ball). He does it well enough but I'd quite like him to be able to pass or head or hold it up or use his other foot or shoot or any of the things most footballers take for granted.

In short, he's hugely frustrating....but mostly injured.

I'd have Miller over Derbyshire anyday

So happy we didnt end up with Matt, looks like a right runt now

Ishmael could still be a decent player in the future, built very, very well knee(?) aside

[RedHux]

You can have both! Cut down prices, We'll even have a whip round for their bus fare.

Miller's the worst because his physique, pace and power promise so much but so rarely can he deliver. He's also one of those moany types who starts shouting and bawling whenever things don't go his way.

Derbyshire's a good finisher but shit at everything else and seems to be knocked over by a stiff breeze.

Seriously?!

I think Ishmael will come good somewhere or another one day

And no, I wouldn't want Leicester to sign either of them for any price, we've got Marko Futacs

[Jaspa]

Seriously?!

Only source Ive found on Maybury is from a day ago

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19216823

And it shows he just joined Hibs

Must be a wind up

I'm surprised he's even good enough to play at that level! A plodding, one-paced ex-Hearts player - he'll go down brilliantly with the Hibs fans.

Rodwell becomes man city's first signing, £15million

[Adster]

£15M?!?!

[RonnieTodger]

Seriously?!

Beg your pardon. I was browsing through the "English summer transfers 2012" bit on Wikipedia and the guy attempting to update that had obviously heard it wrong. He's actually gone to Hibernian as opposed to Birmingham.

[Jaspa]

Jack Rodwell finally takes the step up

Manchester City will push him, I only hope he will succeed

[Fox92]

A young player needs to play to get better. Rodwell was very promosing and played regular at his club, Everton. Will he play every week for City? Doubt it.

Has the chairman signed him? Mancini sounded odd during the pre-match interview.

[AjcW]

Have I been asleep? Or has that rodwell transfer come from nowhere!!!

You're right, when they announced it on ITV before the game, it shocked me a bit.

[Fox92]

Everton have confirmed they have agreed a fee with Manchester City for England international Jack Rodwell

I like Everton, always have done. But there's a few fans commenting about him not being able to get into their team!? I thought he was an important player for them.

Surprised Everton fans are saying that. Any Everton fan worth their salt will know Moyes likes to blood young players slowly. He played Rooney sparingly despite the fact he was clearly good enough to start every week.

[Tielemans63]

If he can stay injury free Rodwell is a terrific footballer.
