All the early online editions (Times, Guardian, etc.) are reporting just 4 clubs. Id be more inclined to trust them over a rumour site.

Yeah but yesterday it was just Man Utd, with Arsenal rumoured, that was all confirmed today with others so wouldn't surprise me if Tottenham were tomorrow but as im a Crewe supporter i cudn't give to shits who he went to.

United and Arsenal were confirmed by Cardiff fairly quick. A 3rd club was confirmed later yesterday (Everton) and then Liverpool now.
None of these decent sources are reporting Spurs even being interested, let alone having a bid accepted. Im not saying it wont happen, but its just not likely to be anytime soon seems not one of these sources have picked up on it!

Fair enough, will have to keep myself more updated.
Personally think he would do best to go Everton for the sole reason that he could break into the first team quicker.

Only problem with that is that if he is as good as everyone is making out then in 3yrs max (if not less) he'll be wanting to move to a team thats pushing for the title and in the CL - which wont be Everton. And that could be a problem depending on his contract.

True but very few players live up to their potential, and hes only started 11 times in the league for Cardiff. However I havnt seen him play so i cant make a justified opinion.

22 games 
Agreed though, the amount of players who have been the next big thing and then never seen again is untrue

FPMSL - He has joined Arsenal according to BBC.
Congrats United for posting it up on your website like you had signed him only for him to go elsewhere
Bad choice for him IMO, he'll be the next Walcott spending years trying to get the odd game and when he does it'll be out of position.

Man Utd - OWNED
I would sort of agree Cosmos... but then Wenger argues that trianign with the pros and the competitive reserves is still stornger than going out on loan :/

@ man utd 
I think he should be loaned back somewhere, you need to be playing proper competetive football to develop properely and quickly imo.
Another funny thing in that article 'Premier league giants everton'

SAF thinks send on loan, AW prefers reserves and training with some of the best players in the world :/
Arsenal are comign in for some stick on this deal but people have been makign a fair poitn about Lennon/Walcott and how Lennon was the next big thing a few years back and now noone hears of him whereas Walcott whos been introduced gradually is getting much better with every game

You cant compare those two
Lennon was a regular first team player and involved in the England set up - he had developed well beyond where Walcott is now. He isnt about as got injured and seemingly lost something.
Walcott has taken 2yrs and still isnt where Lennon was (regular starter, in the England first team squad).

Lennon is also about 2 years older than Walcott IIRC
They were both considered together cos of the WC06 thing I guess :/

more worrying is wengers comments... "aaron can play in midfield but also across the back four" last time i checked ramsey was a ball playing, creative, play making midfield hope he doesnt wind up out of position like a lot of wengers signings down the years

Read an article yesterday, saying that Ramsey is a creative ball player in centre mid, but got played of position alot by Dave Jones, mainly on the wing (which is where hes now somehow been compared to Ryan Giggs, not bad having such potenial as one of the greatest ever wingers, for a 'second' position eh).
