its been confirmed norris to leeds

Hopefully not true.

Signing for us tomorrow!

Be a great signing

It's in telegraph. :(

What's your source on this then, bulls*** is written all over this

Love to know where that source camme from bout Norris to Leeds caus been on every website possible and no mention of it

Talk sport have said this morning norris is signing for swfc.

Norris for Leeds today and a third try for Antonio Sheffield star

It would seem the tHat Milan is determined to sign Antonio after reading rejected a 700,000 bid in star it it says Milan will hold talks with reading owner and chairman over next few days maximum I think mm will go is 800,000

Missed out on norris

Norris is one of these players who is rated but whoever he plays for struggles. has he ever won promotion out of Championship? I do not think so and has had plenty of opportunities. Not for me.

DJ says we've not even spoken to Norris. Thank God!

Reported by John Percy in Telegraph today that he has joined Leeds, can't find any other source confirming though.

Leeds all the way for norris same as the other 3 pompey players.

Norris will rue the day he had the chance to come to us. All he will get is an earful of complaints from loud-mouth Warnock and the Leeds fans.

Wednesday only made half hearted approach, apparently better fish to fry.

Norris gone to leeds miss out on a good player

Norris not a bad player but glad we have not signed him,wrong age for what we want to achieve which is promotion eventually .If we thought we might be in a relegation battle you could consider someone like him.Before anyone says we signed Gardner who is the same age he is going to be marshalling a relatively young defence he has the experience to do that.

swfc been told to up there offer of
700.000 for antonio source reading press

Have they said how much they want, or are they simply tacking on a bit more to whatever is offered until they reach the point at which MM loses patience and looks elsewhere ?

We should tell Reading to "up their's" if that figure is right. He's good but he ain't worth more than that. Time to go to plan B, if we've got one!

They said they want in excess of 700.000 so i dont think we have bid 700.000 think we have offered 500.000 like it was said last week

Said from the moment we stated we wanted to sign him it was going to be Ben Marshall scenario allover again.... He'll be coming to hillsborough on 24th November.... *check our fixture list*

How far in excess of £700k is it ? "In excess" is open-ended and leaves room to jack up the price every time. Difficult to do business under those terms.

Reading, with their talk of other clubs' interest and vague upper limits, are clearly trying to start an auction in the hope of getting silly money. When Marshall left it was said that it would wreck our chances: it didn't. If Reading want to overcharge and Antonio goes elsewhere ,again it will not wreck us. Please let us not be dragged back ito David Richards' la-la land of carefree spending

Lifelong Owl

F Last night showed his limitations and £700,000 looks generous. I would back of and look elsewhere. The championship is not league 1. No premiership team are going to buy him and Championship team paying more than 700,000 would have money to burn.

Glad some sensible comments on here from fans.All the fans on here saying pay whatever Reading want would not be so eager if they were spending there own money.MM will pay what he thinks is a fair price,it will not be his judgement on what the price to pay that will be DJ he is the manager and has to work to a budget blowing more on Antonio than what he is worth limits the money to spend on other targets.If Antonio was such a hot property why has a prem club not bid,a million is peanuts in that league if he was that good the club he is with do not really rate him or they would not have let him get into the last year of his contract.Trust MM & DJ

He played 13 matches for us got caught up in the promotion momentum the adrenelin was running high.The question is could he do it for a season in a higher league we dont know

I personally think we shud move on reading getting greedy 700 000 a generous offer n while he's got potential there is plenty of others out there who have too so jog on reading hope to leap frog your come may UTO

What impact did he have with the side he went on loan to in first half of year? Nothing out of ordinary it depends on team around you and tactics played we utilised his strengths. We could do same with others.

Agree with above about tactics DJ is a top manager who has the ability to develop players hence his hesitation to pay over the top prices for players.Antonio was nothing until he played under DJ and he knows, thats the reason he wants to play for Wednesday

Antonio deal looks like its going to come off with all the speculation last night
"very soon" from the words of milan from a lad who was over there who spoke to him.
his missus going to manchester uni
And she said abit back she would go where ever he would go. and if he was stopping in reading wouldnt she have gone to a uni down south?

All the pieces seem to be adding up make what u want of it.
Just some thoughts and facts there

Ive added up all the peices and concluded you are not quite right in the head

Blah blah blah we wont sign him

Nicky hammond has stated in an interview, that 700k has been turned down, wednesday to put their money where there mouth is, other clubs interested in Antonio. Reading in no rush to sell and Michail is part of plans at the minute. Plus side is Antonio has said he may need to move as he wants regular football. Not looking promising at the minute
