Frederico Chaves Guedes

Ive been looking at his stats and they are something else!

Imagine Fred linking up with Berbs or Keano!

Sold Floody! Levy is a stingy SOB tho so he will probably ask for more.

ps. My 'Snap him up' post above was about Laursen, not that crock Tiago.

Anybody read these Defoe to Arsenal rumours than Wenger has had to deny [apparently]?



Defoe!?

TRANSFER RUMOURS

Tottenham manager Juande Ramos is set to axe eight players - keeper Paul Robinson, Jermain Defoe, Pascal Chimbonda, Lee Young-Pyo, Anthony Gardner, Paul Stalteri, Wayne Routledge and Hossam Ghaly.



Newcastle face competition for Diarra's signature from Tottenham, Everton and Blackburn. (Various)

However, Arsenal have slapped a hefty £6m price tag on the head of the 22-year-old Frenchman to ward off interested parties. (The Sun)

Rangers full-back Alan Hutton has turned down a second, improved, offer to join Tottenham. (The Times)

West Ham boss Alan Curbishley is keen on Lyon's 24-year-old Brazilian striker Fred, who is also wanted by Portsmouth and Paris St Germain. (The Sun)


Middlesbrough are considering offering winger Stewart Downing and Adam Johnson in a swap deal for Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe. (Daily Star)

Laursen has said today hes Interested in a move to either Spurs or Newcastle.

^^^ If it comes down to us and Newcastle, their wages will get him

Most on the 606 boards agree with Ramos to get rid of those 8!

I think he's sending out a message to all our squad "shape up or ship out!"

Ye i think Laursen may just want the money because if he wanted european football why would he go to us and Newcastle, we are in bottom half at the moment, although jono we have been offering big wages of late.

Would love him at Spurs if he can stay fit he would be excellent

I've just heard we had offers for Woodgate and Taylor turned down.

Woodgate would be class if he wasnt so inury prone. As he is now, no thanks.

ROFL. He'd be like 7th in line as a striker. We'd even have Hleb as a striker before Defoe. hahaha.

Despite his faults he does have the most goals per minutes played in the Premeirship this season.

Must admit I hadn't heard the Defoe to Arsenal rumour.

Did you know he is one of your lot?

I didn't until earlier in the week, and Darren Bent too - he was a season ticket holder when younger apparently.

Tis true and i heard a sickening blow when i was in school not sure if its true but here goes, my friends parents are friends with Gareth Bales parents so he met Gareth before he joined Spurs and he told my friend that he was an Arsenal fan aswell.

Doesn't surprise me. Lately everyone is coming out as an Arsenal fan.

Heard the Fred deal is a goer.

Would love it! but does this signal the end of Dimitar.

Fred will destroy the EPL. He is a brilliant player and cheap too.

Wenger doesn't want to lose Diarra, and in turn to try to not loose him, he's put a £6 million price tag on his head. (Arsenal bought him for £2 million from Chelsea)

Beyond Tottenham; Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, Blackburn, Portsmouth, Monaco, Paris St German, and Lyon are all keeping an eye on Diarra. Word is, Diarra would prefer to stay in the EPL though.

Diarra is not worth 6 Million. 4 would be asking alot but I can see him going for 4 or around that but not much higher. I think Spurs or Villa have the best chance of snaring him. Villa need a hard tackling defensive midfielder like him, it showed during the 4-4 draw against Chelsea- they are easily hit on the counter attack, usually down the flanks. A player like Diarra would break up these attacks well.
