Championship transfer rumours!
Thu Jun 23, 2011 7:18 pm
A lot of rumours floating about in the championship, here they are...
"- Barnsley are on the verge of signing Jim McNulty from Brighton. Next on Keith Hill's list is Adam Le Fondre and a loan for Craig Dawson from WBA to replace Jason Shackell. If not, Miles Addison could be a loan target.
- Bristol City look set to strengthen their centre midfield area with the free capture of Neil Kilkenny from Leeds.
- Eddie Howe is preparing for life without the services of Chris McCann and Jack Cork, lining up a deal to sign David Fox from Norwich if McCann leaves.
- Cardiff will sign Andrew Taylor from Middlesborough, and replace the outgoing Jay Bothroyd with former hero Robert Earnshaw, to partner with big John Parkin.
- Coventry will sign Joe Murphy from Scunthorpe on a free to replace new Sunderland keeper Kieran Westwood.
- Derby will benefit from Luke Varney's move to Portsmouth by freeing up a wage and moving to sign Watford's John Eustace or Aron Gunnarsson, plus a move for Martyn Waghorn from Leicester City.
- Doncaster have all but signed Tommy Spurr and Richard Naylor, whilst Paul Parry and Kevin McDonald are also targets for Sean O'Driscoll.
- Hull have made a move for Leicester keeper Chris Weale after being unable to tie up permanent deals for Brad Guzan and Vito Mannone, coupled with Leicester signing Kasper Schmeichel.
- Hull have made Preston an improved offer for winger Keith Treacy, around £1m plus Andy Dawson. This suits all parties as Phil Brown is keen to work with Dawson again, and is actively seeking a left back. The only stumbling blocks could be Treacy's willingness to move over to Humberside or Dawson's wage demands.
- Ipswich Town had their bid for Billy Sharp rejected today, and will now move for Ched Evans instead. Jewell is also keen on QPR's Hogan Ephraim, but it looks unlikely that they'll get him.
- Leeds have moved to sign Paul Rachubka, but are wanting another goalkeeper. Talks are ongoing with Preston over the potential transfer of Andy Lonergan, in a bid to replace Kasper Schmeichel. Grayson also wants to a bit more steel in the midfield, attempting to bring in Nick Montgomery or Keith Southern.
- Leicester have been linked with a plethora of players so far, but Sven is keeping his cards close to his chest. Steve Howard looks like being sold to Sheffield Wednesday as it stands, and Sven wants to bring in Ishmael Miller to replace Yakubu, who probably won't be returning to the Walkers. Sven also wants a left back, centre back, central midfielder and wide man before the window shuts.
- Middlesbrough will sell Marvin Emnes to Swansea City and will try to sign Giles Barnes to replace him. There are certain reservations over his fitness, so Paddy McCourt is another option for Boro.
- Millwall are still trying to replace the void left by Steve Morison by lining up a move to sign Sheffield United striker Darius Henderson. I believe Jackett is relatively happy with his current squad, though a new left back may be on his shopping list.
- Steve McClaren has got a lot of work to do at Forest, with Earnshaw, Wilson and McKenna all leaving the club. Not sure yet on his targets, but Nugent was mentioned.
- Steve Cotterill had made a bid to sign Chris McCann but it looks like he'll be off to Bolton with Owen Coyle. Heard he's made tentative enquiries for Andy Gray from Barnsley and wants Craig Fagan, a free after his spell at Hull.
- Southampton to turn their attentions away from Sean St. Ledger and move for Nigel Adkins' former Scunthorpe defender David Mirfin."

Earnie and Goodwillie would be better than Parkin.
