Rumour control is reporting Fulham interest in Zheng Zhi, Pardew close to signing Stuart Fleetwood and we are being linked with all the usual suspects for Swnasea's Ferrie Bodde.
I give the Zheng Zhi rumour a 7/10 on the basis that he's their sort of player, he'll be more desperate for Premier League action than most and because the money being mentioned (£4m) sounds realistic. Whilst he's a decent Championship midfielder, I don't think we got the best out of him last season and I wouldn't be upset if he left for £4m. If Bougherra was to go at £2m, all of a sudden, Alan Pardew has a decent transfer kitty, assuming he gets to add this to his existing pot.
Stuart Fleetwood is worth a punt for the likely small fee and terms involved and the story is that the deal might be done this week when he returns from his holiday.
Ferrie Bodde (pronounced Boat?) is new to the wires and I must admit to never having heard of him. Wikipedia tells me he is 26 and arrived at Swansea from Den Haag for £50,000 and that he was sent of twice last season, once for a headbutt and the other for a stamp! A midfielder with attitude, just what we need.
