Burkina Faso striker Moumouni Dagano is hoping to secure a move to the Premier League after being linked with Bolton Wanderers.

We're linked with Sam Ricketts from Hull, he's a full back. We're still in talks aboutZat Knight and Swansea's Bodde.
I never tried to argue against the fact that most Koreans have not done well in the EPL. However, if their place on the squad was for marketing reasons it wouldn't make sense to take them off the squad regardless of their performance. However, we have seen that when Koreans have 'sucked bigtime' they were sent packing, just like any other player would have been. They were recruited based on their merits as a player, and released for those same reasons. To insinuate that Korean players are gaining entry into the EPL just to sell jerseys is quite offensive. BTW I am a fan of the USMNT, being an American. I hear this same garbage in regards to someone like Gooch moving to Milan, and it's annoying as shite in that context as well.
Sky Sports reports that Meggo expects to seal the signings of Lee, Zat Knight, and Ferrie Bodde soon. Although the report is dated 15 July so who knows what's going on. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11672_5434181,00.html
Zat Knight has signed for £3.5 million and full back Sam Ricketts has joined from Hull for £2 million. Lee Chung-Yong is awaiting a work permit, it should take about two weeks. We're eyeing up a striker now too.
All Lee Chung-Yung related debate can now be found in his thread https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1113810
He's got his work permit, the rest of the details should be sorted out in time for Jussi's testimonial on Saturday.
Vaz Te is set to leave for Turkey for a princely sum of £250k Apparently we've made a bid for Veloso, £8 million Apparently we've made a bid for Real Betis midfielder Achille Emana, £7 million. Apparently Everton want Gary Cahill for £10 million however he recently signed a new contract so they can add and extra 3 or 4 million on top of that. No strikers as yet.
