£13m Liverpool and Arsenal midfield target Yann M'Vila 'for sale' Arsenal, QPR, and Liverpool linked Yann M'Vila is one of eight players up for sale at Rubin Kazan. Once coveted midfield player Yann M'Vila and Rubin Kazan are desperate to part. Will he find a home in the Premier League? It was just two summers ago M'Vila was touted as the answer to Arsenal's hole at defensive midfield. The 23-year-old at one point appeared close to signing for QPR before leaving Rennes for Rubin Kazan in Russia. Only in January he was touted as an option for Liverpool as a replacement for Lucas. If any interest remains from any of these clubs, now is the time to enquire, because reports in Russia claim that both player and club are satisfied for there to be an amicable parting of the ways. M'Vila is one of eight players up for sale, report newspaper Izvestia, and he is said to be keen to move on. "French signings Yann M'Vila and Chris Mavinga failed to find a common language with the new head coach of Rubin and actively are looking for a new team. "However, it is not only principled position Rinat Bilyaletdinov. The reason is the lack of players a great desire to go all out in the games for Kazan. In addition, the French players do not hide the desire to return to Europe." The attitude concerns are ones which have held M'Vila back before, said to have caused Arsene Wenger to pause originally over his plans regarding the midfielder. Yet the midfielder has plenty of years ahead of him and possesses the skills to become one of the top players in his position in Europe. Valued at £13 million by transfermarkt, given the desire among both parties to do a deal, there is every chance any interested side will be able to sign him for less. Do you want Yann M'Vila at your club? hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014/06/01/13m-liverpool-and-arsenal-midfield-target-for-sale/

of all the loanees the one I would like to keep at LR would have to be Ravel Morrison, by far the best, all the others not too impressed with them especially BAE God forbid that Redknapp ever thinks about signing him on a permanent basis, I thought Bosingwa was bad enough, them along came this other waste of space, who really didn't give a toss, just here to top up his pension, rant over

From eastgrinsteadcourier.co.uk Hull looking to stop QPR or Sunderland signing English centre back By East Grinstead Courier | Posted: June 02, 2014 A WANTED MAN: Hull City centre back Curtis Davies HULL City are reportedly about to offer captain Curtis Davies an improved contract to counter interest from Sunderland and QPR. Davies, 29, had a superb season and must surely be wondering how the likes of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones, who both had poor seasons at Manchester United, are going to the World Cup ahead of him. He played heroically in the FA Cup final in particular, scoring against Arsenal in the 3-2 defeat at Wembley. QPR are looking to invest after their return to the Premier League and centre back is a position where they clearly need to strengthen. And Sunderland will be looking to plug the leaks in their leaky defence so that next season is not as nerve-shredding as the last.

More of a issue for Murphy than Cesar QPR eye international keeper as Cesar replacement Jun 02, 2014 15:00 By Paul Warburton 0 Comments Pointing west? David Forde QPR are keeping tabs on Millwall keeper David Forde as a possible replacement for Julio Cesar. Forde kept a clean sheet for the Republic of Ireland at Craven Cottage on Saturday in the 0-0 draw with Italy, and better still from a Hoops point of view, is out of contract this summer. The Lions shot-stopper will need to compete with Rob Green for the number one jersey, but would be more than affordable, no pun intended, in a new-look Rangers. The fly in the ointment is getting misfit Cesar off the pay-roll permanently. The man most likely to spearhead Brazil’s tilt for the World Cup in their own backyard admitted he swapped Inter Milan for Rangers in 2012 on the same wages – close to £50,000-a-week before bonuses. After months of trying, boss Harry Redknapp finally loaned Cesar to FC Toronto in February. But the 34-year-old has another two years to run on his QPR contract. Forde, however, admits he’s had Premier League overtures in what is likely to be his last big payday. “I’ve got to weigh up the best options for me and my family. At the end of the day, that’s all that counts,” he said. Future: chairman Tony Fernandes drinks to a new transfer policy Rs chairman Tony Fernandes has outlined a more prudent recruitment drive that does away with mistakes of the past. “We have brought in players who’ve been at big clubs before and we got our fingers burned,” he said. “We have a different philosophy from this time two years ago. We know what we want, we have a list of targets that we think are the right sort and will add tremendous value to the club. “You need a balance of youth and experience but you need to get the right experience - people who are ready to come down and battle. “People who have come from places like Manchester City, having won titles and been in the Champions League, might not have the right energy you want.” www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/qpr-eye-international-keeper-cesar-7202695

if I was going for a keeper I would go for David Marshall from Cardiff, had a fantastic season and at least gave them a chance of staying up with his displays, for me the best keeper in the Premiership last season, if he were available that is who I would like at LR

Contract news: Northern Ireland's Aaron Hughes awaits offers after QPR deal expires Last Updated: 02/06/14 5:28pm Aaron Hughes will enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime trip to South America as he awaits offers from potential new employers.
The Northern Ireland centre-half is unsure of his future for the first time in a 17-year career which most recently took him to Queens Park Rangers.
Hughes, 34, started 11 Championship games for the club after leaving Fulham for Loftus Road on a short-term deal in January, but he is yet to find out whether he is part of Harry Redknapp's plans for next season's Premier League campaign.
In the meantime, Hughes travelled to Montevideo for Northern Ireland's 1-0 defeat to Uruguay and should feature against Chile in Valparaiso on Wednesday.
He said: "This is the first time I've been at the end of my contract. I've always moved to another club with time left on my contract or had a new contract in place.
Player Profile
18. Aaron Hughes
Appearances 28 (1) Goals 0 Assists 0 Yellows 2 Reds 0 Current Season "It's all new to me and that is why I'm trying not to get too excited or worried about it. I will be speaking to my agent and I will find out more when I get home to find out what's going on.
"The big thing was to get to the end of the season and see what happened. It was only a week or so ago but it seems a long time.
"From there I've come on this trip and the focus was to go and enjoy this and the two games after the season ended because I haven't played as much as I would have hoped in recent weeks.
"This was a chance to play football and it is a new experience - probably my only chance to play in South America. I will have a few weeks' holiday after this and then look at my options."
Hughes came out of international retirement in 2012 when Michael O'Neill became manager, and he said: "This the furthest away I've ever been with Northern Ireland and a lot of that is down to the manager.
"When I first spoke to him about coming back to international football it was this sort of thing that convinced me to come back. He does care and he knows the finer details that really matter and make the difference."

Millwall keeper linked with QPR, Palace and Germany move by Staff (@newsatden) on June 2, 2014 Leave a Comment DAVID Forde was watched by scouts from QPR and Crystal Palace whilst playing for the Republic of Ireland against Italy last week, according to reports. And in an interview with the Irish press, Forde has revealed that he has an offer on the table from a club in Germany. The 34-year-old, whose contract at Millwall expires at the end of the month, kept a clean sheet against the Azzurri on Saturday in an international friendly at Craven Cottage. Reports claim QPR and Palace were in the stands to see him in action. The Lions are in talks with Forde about extending his stay at The Den but boss Ian Holloway admitted last week that he may not be able to afford to keep the goalkeeper. Asked about his future, Forde said: "I'm in talks with Millwall, they've made me an offer so we're back and forth and there is a few others sniffing around." Forde confirmed that he has a offers from overseas - believed to be a Bundesliga club - and added that he would "have no problem moving" abroad. "It's still in the mix," he said. "I've got to weigh up the best options for me and my family. At the end of the day, that's all that counts." www.newsatden.co.uk/36607-millwall-keeper-linked-with-qpr-palace-and-germany-move.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+co%2FlWuN+%28News+at+Den%29

I would not have David Marshall as reserve keeper, I would have him as first choice if available, I know Green had a good season in the Championship but sorry I do still not see him as a Premiership keeper, a little suspect, anyway that's my opinion no doubt their will be people who don't agree with me but hey we are all entitled to our own opinions and no doubt I will be proved wrong ,onwards and upwards

Looks like the Mirror saw 2+2 and made 7! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27673942 Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has announced that he will leave the club after 13 years at Stamford Bridge.
The 35-year-old England international, Chelsea's all-time leading scorer with 211 goals, was out of contract. Frank Lampard factfile
Date of birth: 20/06/1978 Clubs: West Ham 1995-2001, Swansea (on loan) 1995-96, Chelsea 2001-2014 Appearances for Chelsea: 649 Goals for Chelsea: 211 Premier League titles: 2004-05, 2005-06, 2009-10 FA Cup wins: 2006-07, 2008-09, 2009-10, 2011-12 League Cup wins: 2004-05, 2006-07 Champions League win: 2011-12 Europa League win: 2012-13
Since joining from West Ham in June 2001, Lampard had helped the club to three Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2012.
"This club has become part of my life," said the midfielder in announcing his departure.
Lampard, who is currently with the England squad in Miami ahead of the World Cup, has yet to decide if he will retire, but has had offers from 16 other clubs.
He will not consider any of the offers until after the tournament in Brazil finishes.
After joining from West Ham for £11m, Lampard made 649 appearances for Chelsea, who also won four FA Cups, two League Cups and the Europa League in his time at the west London club.
He had signed a one-year contract extension in May 2013, and made 40 appearances for Chelsea this season under Jose Mourinho.
Lampard, son of West Ham defender Frank Lampard senior, first played for England in October 1999.
He has scored 29 goals in 103 international appearances, and played at Euro 2004 as well as the World Cups of 2006 and 2010.
Manchester City midfielder James Milner paid tribute to his England team-mate and said: "He has been outstanding for club and country and never seems to have an off season.
"He is a top player, a top professional and the sort we need for the World Cup. I would have thought there will be plenty of Premier League clubs after him next season. He is certainly not finished."
Lampard's Chelsea team-mate Ashley Cole, 33, is also out of contract and is set to leave after eight years at Stamford Bridge.

Now really piss them of and sign Rhodes too Jordan Rhodes Tweet It's a busy night here at Vital Norwich Towers - first of all we had the news of new coaching staff and then The Daily Mail reckoning that Gary Hooper wants to leave with the situation being monitored by Aston Villa and QPR. Anyway, here's a little good news story that might perk you up a bit. It's only a snippet, a little taster, but Sky Sports' Simon Thomas who as you may know, is a Norwich City fan has tweeted a short time ago that he understands that City will soon bid for Blackburn Rovers' Jordan Rhodes. Rhodes is a striker of some repute. His goal scoring record can only be described as 'prolific.' He first started making noises at Huddersfield in League One where he scored 73 goals in 124 games before making an £8m move to Blackburn in 2012. Since moving to Rovers he has scored 51 goals in 89 appearances at Championship level which also brought him to Gordon Strachan's attention as Scotland boss. He has played 8 times for Scotland and scored 8 goals. Make no mistake, if Hooper leaves (and even if he doesn't), Jordan Rhodes would be a very good signing indeed.

Galatasaray pull out of Gomis race and turn attention to Erding Galatasaray have confirmed that they have given up their pursuit of Lyon striker Bafétimbi Gomis after it emerged that his wage demands were believed to be too excessive. The club’s President Kanal A Haber said the following: “We were seriously interested in Gomis, but this is no longer the case.” Meanwhile, Get French Football News has learnt that Galatasaray are in advanced talks with St Étienne’s striker Mevlut Erding, and have already agreed personal terms with the Turkish international. Fee negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with the Turkish outfit unwilling to meet St Étienne’s €5m plus €2m bonus demands. They have instead offered €2m and central defender Dany Nounkeu, with Les Verts yet to respond. www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2014/galatasaray-pull-out-of-gomis-race-and-turn-attention-to-erding/

Guilherme Dellatorre is returning to Atletico Paranaense after Queens Park Rangers opted not to take up their option on him. The 22-year-old was snapped up by QPR on the final day of the January transfer window, but he failed to feature in a single first-team game. Now Dellatorre's agent has confirmed that he will be moving back to Brazil. "He is returning from London now and on June 12 he will present himself at Atletico Paranaense," agent Augusto Nogueira told Globo Esporte. "Dellatorre didn't have the chance to play because he had a muscle injury and had to stop for two months. The club decided not to buy him, so he is returning to his club Atletico Paranaense." On the player's future, Nogueira added: "Right now Paranaense is his focus, if any opportunity comes up, the president will decide." www1.skysports.com/football/news/11711/9335978/transfer-news-guilherme-dellatorre-is-leaving-qpr-to-return-to-atletico-paranaense
