Should make an offer for Michael essien on loan until Xmas to cover Lucas. Could be beneficial to all involved

There's a rumour going around that the real reason his wife wanted him home was because he was shagging anything that moved.

There's another rumour that he got into a major row at a wedding last week, involving a punch up.

On top of that, he's apparently had a big falling out with Malky Mackay (which may be why cardiff just bid for a new striker).

Apparently he had a punch up with Andrew Taylor in teh Cardiff dressing room on Saturday.

This is all rumour, taken from teh Swans Message Board, Cardiff Message Boards, and QPR message boards.

They all point to the same thing, that his personal life is absolutely falling apart..

I like Bellamy and none of those would bother me tbh. It's his own business. He has to live with it. I was worried there for sec that it was something that would really disturb me.

To keep him company in the physio's room?

It would be disturbing if these troubles all started after Gary Speed passed away.

The fella might be finding it hard to deal with his grief .

All guess work but I find it bizarre .

a decent deal IMO.

if the worst happens, we can recall him to the squad.

i'm going to guess it would've been permanent had Lucas' injury not happened.

CL7 · 30-08-2012 04:16PM

The thread starts about a year ago, with all the fans saying he should be given games with the first team as their current strikers aren't up too much. They say how they have had talents in the past and never given them the chance.

One poster says he is the future of the club. Then he makes his debut as a sub at the start of this year which sounded average, but the fans are saying he was thrown it at the deep end when the club was in trouble, but still showed some positive signs and good movement off the ball. A loan may be best for him they feel. He then developed a lumbar injury, possibly a fracture, which kept him out for the rest of the season.

The topic ends with the fans miffed about why he hasn't been involved in pre season and why he wasn't in the squad for the first game of the season. Now they are livid at the possibility of him being sold, thinking that he should be worth closer to £10million, not the £1million being rumoured. One member is saying less than pleasant things about Rudi Voeller.

Found this post about Yesil on Rawk. (yea I know, I'm a masochist but the deadline is tomorrow and I can't help myself.) I know nothing about the player and the above could be bs but nice to think we are finally getting a bit of value.

Yes, I suspect they reversed from a sale when the Lucas injury result arrived and said "loan only". If Lucas is back and ok, then he can sign a perm deal. I don't doubt he'll do well for them.

I'd imagine that's true, probably a loan with a view to permanent. Probably good for both sides in this case. If he did well then possibly could get more money for him at Christmas window.

I heard the Bellamy rumours were started by Joey Barton to take the attention off him

Sport-Bild claim Madrid are still paying 70% of Sahin's wages. sounds awfully high to me #LFC

They claim we also didn't pay any loan fee.

Not sure how clever it is to be putting rumours about a player's personal life online.

Just saying.

Liverpool tribute at funeral of football mad Graham who dropped dead during kickabout

AN Irish teen who collapsed and died while playing football was buried today to the strains of the iconic anthem of his beloved Liverpool FC.

The coffin of Graham O'Connell (14) left Our Lady Crowned Church in Mayfield, Cork as the famous Liverpool anthem, 'You'll Never Walk Alone', was played.

Graham - a fanatical fan of the Anfield club - also had his cherished club scarf laid on his coffin.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is now going to write a personal letter of condolence to the O'Connell family.

Liverpool star Jose Enrique also extended his sympathies to the O'Connell family on the death of a youngster hailed as "a true Red."

His heartbroken father, David, told the packed church that his son was born with a complex cardiac problem - but refused to let the condition interfere with his love of life, sport and his dream of becoming a sports commentator.

Graham collapsed and died last Monday on a green not far from his home as he enjoyed a casual kick-around with friends. Surgeons were unable to revive him.

Mr O'Connell said his son had brought joy and happiness to so many lives - and a love of sport that saw him begin every day by checking Sky Sports News.

As a mark of respect, many young mourners wore Liverpool FC jerseys - while a special guard of honour was provided by Graham's former schools, St Aidan's and Scoil Oliver as well as by Glen Rovers Camogie Club for whom his two older sisters, Karen and Edel, both play.

Glen Rovers hailed him as "the club's mascot" - and a youngster who hardly ever missed a game and a chance to support his sisters and their friends.

Oh and new boy Samed Yesil apparently has the same agent as Sahin. German footballer of Turkish descent. Wonder did Sahin recommend we swoop?

Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Theo Walcott will remain an Arsenal player at the end of the transfer window.

Walcott is refusing to sign a new contract with his existing deal set to expire next summer and has been linked with a transfer to Liverpool and Manchester City. But Wenger insisted the 23-year-old England winger will stay at Emirates Stadium and is confident he will sign a new contract.

"The situation is simple, Theo will stay with us and play with us," he said.

Wenger was evasive on the subject of whether he planned to make any new signings before the conclusion of deadline day on Friday.

"We are active, but we don't want to just bring average players in. If we find someone special we will sign him," he said.

"Of course we have enough players, but you always want to improve your squad. If you find a top, top player you do it.

"We have the resources to do it, but we are happy with the quality of the squad if we don't buy anyone.

"It's important to believe in our players and to get our long-term injuries back."

Defender Laurent Koscielny returns to the squad after recovering from a calf injury but goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny faces a fitness test on his rib problem.

Suggested that earlier.

Some value added already from Sahin loan deal

Still hoping we land Dempsey or another out and out goalscorer.

Nice to see we have someone to take over the ridiculous haircut role that has been vacant since meireles left

So will Yesil get much first team action this season?

As an 18 year old he'd want to be seeing some kind of action. Theres no point in him sitting in the reserves and u-21 thing until he is 21 and then nothing comes of him like Mellor, Pacheco(unfortunately) etc.

For now, Next Gen and get him playing with the reserves, replacing Morgan who should be moving up somewhat. Give him time...

That would seem unfair to the likes of Adam Morgan who deserve a chance ahead of him. I imagine he has joined in full knowledge it is unlikely he'll see much 1st team action this year and will see reserve action.

If he's better than Morgan then he should be in ahead of him. Fairness has nothing to do with it.

I would hope that that decision won't be made without the club taking a look at him in several reserve games, which they clearly have with Morgan, who has been successful.

Due process. Ridiculous to expect he'll play much 1st team stuff this season. It won't happen, and rightly so.
