Bumper Speculation tonight !!!
As usual the NOTW are off the blocks first with the weekends transfer speculation and we have a bumper three tonight
The first story is linking us with a £9.5m joint bit for Valencia’s Right Back Miguel and forward Zigic. These names maybe familiar as they have been linked in every window I can remember !
The second link is with Nedum Onuoha, the highly rated Man City defender. The NOTW claims we are behind Sunderland in the race to capture him but the link makes sense if we are to get rid of Luke Young. He is also a player many Villa fans have put on the wish list and of course with the Milner situation who knows on a possible swap deal ?
The Mirror also have a bumper speculation this weekend.
They claim we are about to seal a £15m deal for Robbie Keane, that must have took all of 5 mins to dream up !!
Then they claim we are in the race to land Steven Taylor from Newcastle, with arsenal and Chelsea, we we need to increase our ‘English Quota’ yep we are struggling in that area eh ?
Last Mirror story is that Stephen Ireland had has to leave Man city and may be used in a swap deal for Milner. again must have took the journo hours to think of that one !! Apparently Man Utd and Liverpool are also interested.
If you can be bothered, then more Milner stuff in the NOTW, claiming he would prefer to join Liverpool especially if MON goes there when Rafa goes, how far does speculation have to go until it is called for what it is – BS

These links crack me up. You’re right–we’ve been linked with Miguel and Zigic for ages now. MON even came out one window and said that he had absolutely no interest in Zigic.
As for Keane, no thank you, and certainly not for 15 million.
To be honest is just a taller more skillful Carew, but I’m not sure there is any truth at all in that rumor. Miguel is a good player, but has slipped down a bit in recent years. If we can get him cheap, it might turn out to be a fantastic deal. But like I said – almost certainly 0 truth in that.
£15 million for Robbie Keane made me laugh. So did Steven Taylor. And that people think Nedum Onuoha is any good (another center back with no technique to play right back, only slightly worse? No thanks!)
But the Milner for Liverpool is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day – and I’ve been watching Ian Holloway interviews!
