Gareth Bale says Tottenham are confident of beating Young Boys, while Harry Redknapp takes the credit for Gareth’s new haircut. Oh and his goals too.
Dave Edwards could play for Wolverhampton Wanderers in their Carling Cup clash against Southend United after recovering from a groin injury.
I’ve found a new Welshman! Well I might have done. Former Bournemouth star Brett Pitman, who recently turned down Premier League side Blackpool to play in the Championship with Bristol City, could be eligible to represent Wales. Brett was born in Jersey and is apparently allowed to represent any Home Nations side. It’s a bit of a funny rule and let’s see how he does with struggling Bristol City but with Simon Church (Reading) and Ched Evans (Sheffield United) not regulars for their clubs, Craig Bellamy’s dodgy knees and Bristol City loanee Sam Vokes maybe kept out of the starting line-up by Brett, Wales could be left with Millwall’s Steve Morison and Rob Earnshaw, both great players who have done well for Wales but they’re not enough on their own!
Guess who is so tempted to go through Wikipedia looking for footballers born in Jersey!
Jason Koumas is set to make his first start for Cardiff City after gaining match fitness. Carling Cup opponents Peterborough United probably think Jason should give it a few more days before playing.
Rob Earnshaw says Cardiff City are the team to beat after they signed players including Wales team-mates Jason Koumas and Craig Bellamy. But he doesn’t necessarily think Cardiff are now the top side in the Championship. As for Nottingham Forest, once they start winning again there will be no stopping them.
Cardiff City’s Jonathan Meades has gone to Norway to play for FK Moss on loan.
Robbie Savage thinks victory over league leaders Queen’s Park Rangers will be the perfect way to get Derby County’s season going.
Swansea City’s Kerry Morgan is back at Newport County on loan again after helping them into the Blue Square Premier last season. He could have gone to a League side but he wanted to go to Newport. Surprisingly, only four of his new team-matres seem to be Welsh – Glyn Garner, Chris Todd, Andrew Hughes and Kieron Blackburn, who is on loan at Merthyr Town, formerly Merthyr Tydfil.
Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler won’t be making a move for Grant Basey. I’m sure Aberdeen will be very glad to hear it.

Welsh Player News (and rumours) 2nd August Non-League
Kevin Gall and Declan Walker – who nearly scored – both started for Wrexham as they lost 2-0 to Crewe Alexandra, who had Rhys Taylor in goal. Johnny Hunt and Jamie Tolley made substitute appearances but Chris Maxwell and Marc Williams stayed on the bench.
Dean Saunders says he will make a decision on Jamie soon but it depends on financial issues.
Alex Titchener has signed for Colwyn Bay after being released by Crewe Alexandra. Alex spent time on loan at Colwyn Bay last season.
Glyn Garner came on in the second half for Newport County as they won 1-0 against Stevenage Borough.
Worcester City are hoping to sign Craig Jones, who has been released by Hereford United. Craig played in Worcester’s 4-1 win over AFC Liverpool.

Welsh Player News - New Signings
Arron Davies has signed for Peterborough United. He was released from Nottingham Forest in December and wanted to sign for Yeovil Town but as he’s already played for Forest and on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion, he was unable to sign for them and instead signed non-contract terms at Brighton before being sent on loan to Yeovil. But instead of signing for Yeovil, Arron decided to go to a training camp with Peterborough – and you can only assume he had a pretty good time. He has signed a two-year contract.
Joe Ledley is now a Celtic player. As Celtic are outside the English league system, Cardiff City don’t get any compensation. I bet they’re just thrilled, especially considering their financial problems. Before the signing was even announced, Joe was named in Celtic’s squad for their tour of North America. Cardiff City manager Dave Jones was surprised by Joe’s choice. That makes at least two of us. I blame Craig Bellamy.
Goalkeeper Glyn Garner has signed for newly-promoted Blue Square Premier side Newport County.

Wales News 4th March
Loans
Sanchez Watt has returned to Arsenal after his loan spell with Southend United came to an end. Sanchez went out on loan in an effort to build up his match fitness and impressed in League one but although Southend wanted to keep him, Sanchez wanted to try to fight his way into Arsenal’s first team. Well they are short of strikers…
Daniel Nardiello has signed for Oldham Athletic on loan. The Blackpool striker had a successful loan spell at Bury earlier this season, scoring a number of goals and having one famously stopped by a bit of mud. He then returned to Blackpool and made a few substitute appearances but injuries kept getting in his way. But this probably means he’s recovered from his groin injury.
Daniel might play alongside Jason Price, another Welsh loanee striker who is expected to extend his loan deal this week, if parent club Millwall agree.
Oldham want Daniel to save them from relegation. No pressure then.
Shaun MacDonald is waiting to hear from Swansea whether they want him to extend his contract. He’s really enjoyed his loans to Yeovil but he wants to settle at a club permanently. Although he thinks he’s ready to play in the Championship he’s hinted he would be very happy to stay at Yeovil. Swansea are having problems in midfield at the moment but they can’t recall Shaun due to the terms of his loan.
Owain Tudur Jones has returned to Norwich City after his Yeovil loan came to an end. He’s played in the reserves and done well so a first-team call up apparently isn’t out of the question. If he does play, he’ll be up against Yeovil.
Christian Ribeiro’s loan spell at Colchester United has come to an end. He only played twice due to injury but Colchester manager Aidy Boothroyd was impressed and wants him to return to the club once he’s fully fit again. Christian has also said he expects to return.
Other
Wolves’ David Jones says Ryan Giggs tried to persuade him to play for Wales but David chose England instead. He has a Welsh parent but considers himself English. David has however only played for England’s under-21s so he could still change his mind and play for Wales.
Glyn Garner, who was released by Shrewsbury in January, has joined Grays Athletic in the Blue Square Premier. Grays are struggling but Glyn’s debut was a big success. It was only a draw and Grays are still 13 points adrift of safety – they’ll be bottom if Chester don’t appeal against the decision to remove them from the league - but the general feeling is they’ve got a chance.

Transfers that Actually Hapened Part 1
Nicky Adams went to Leyton Orient on loan to Leicester and has so far been a great attacking threat who has played a big part in many of Leicester’s goals.
David Cotterill was on loan at Swansea but as soon as he could, they made it permanent. David hasn’t always been a regular scorer but his long-range goal for Swansea was amazing.
Arron Davies was released by Nottingham Forest. Yeovil Town wanted to sign him but as he had already played for two clubs the season, Forest and loan club Brighton & Hove Albion, the FA decided he couldn’t play for another club this season. So okay this one didn't totally happen but it would have done if the FA weren't so mean.
Craig Davies joined Port Vale from Brighton for a month-long loan. He’s looked sharp and has just scored his first goal and Port Vale have extended his contract to the end of the seasoin
Glyn Garner was released by Shrewsbury Town by mutual consent. He remained at the club until he was fully recovered from a shoulder injury and has since then been looking for a new club.
Lewis Haldane was hoping to sign for Port Vale permanently after a successful loan spell came to an end but Bristol Rovers seemed even less interested in releasing him than they were in playing him. So Lewis signed a second loan which was cancelled when Bristol Rovers finally got sorted and Lewis became an official Port Vale player. How did he celebrate? Thirty-one minutes into his debut he got a yellow card. Seven minutes later he got his second and he celebrated with an early bath.
Kyle Letheren had a verbal agreement with Plymouth Argyle that his contract would be extended but instead they ended up releasing him. Kyle had had interest from clubs previously but had turned them down because of the expected contract from Plymouth. As far as I know, he hasn’t managed to find a new club.

League Two Postponements 9th January
Lincoln City P-P Accrington Stanley
Anthony Pulis woudn’t be playing even if there was a match because he’s gone back to Southampton, who don’t have a game this weekend.
Morecambe P-P Burton Albion
The lack of a match might come as a relief to Burton – who have just two fit central defenders, one of them being Tony James. Morecambe’s Darren Moss misses out on playing against him.
Northampton Town P-P Chesterfield
No match for Peter Gilbert (Northampton) or Mark Crossley or Robert Page (both Chesterfield)
Port Vale P-P Bradford City
Gareth Owen has expressed his gratitude to Nantwich Town, who have allowed Port Vale to train on their all-weather pitch. Port Vale still haven’t managed to buy Lewis Haldane from Bristol Rovers but they’ve got him on loan until the end of the season. Michael Flynn misses the chance to play for Bradford.
Rotherham United P-P Bournemouth
Joe Partington is spared from having to travel all the way to Rotherham.
Shrewsbury Town P-P Barnet
Will Richards might have been in Shrewsbury’s squad but he isn’t because there isn’t a match. Glyn Garner however has left Shrewsbury. He is currently injured but probably wouldn’t be playing even if he was fit so they’ve come to an agreement to let him go although the club will be supporting him as he recovers from his injury.
Torquay United v Dagenham & Redbridge
Dag & Red’s Tony Roberts might even have been confident of keeping some Torquay shots out of the back of his net. But he’ll have to wait for another time.

League Two Fixtures 1st December
Barnet v Bournemouth
Bournemouth have only 17 fit players so Joe Partington must be on the bench at least. Unless he’s one of the injured players, that is.
Dagenham & Redbridge v Aldershot Town
Tony Roberts should be on Dagenham’s bench. If Dagenham lose tonight it won’t be his fault. But if Arsenal lose on Wednesday, he could perhaps take some of the blame – Tony is also a goalkeeping coach at Arsenal.
(I won’t blame him really. He’s done an amazing job with Arsenal’s goalkeepers. Vito Mannone had a great run in Arsenal’s first team whilst Wojciech Szczesny has been keeping Wales’ Lewis Price out of Brentford’s team.)
Lincoln City v Port Vale
These two teams have at least three Welsh players between them but there’s a good chance none of them will play. Lincoln’s Anthony Pulis and Port Vale’s Gareth Owen are definitely out with knee and cheek injuries (one each that is). Vale’s Lewis Haldane is a doubt due to a knee injury but he was a doubt on Saturday too and he still played. Vale fans are divided on Lewis. Some think he doesn’t score enough goals (leave him alone, the bloke’s hurt his knee) and others think he was Man of the Match (yes that’s more like it).
Moercambe v Bury
Daniel Nardiello should start for Bury, who are hoping to ‘continue an 11-match unbeaten run’. They won’t. They can get a 12-match unbeaten run if they want to but there’s no way it can stay at 11 matches.
Northampton Town v Hereford United
Northampton confuse me. First they were called Northampton Town, then they were Northampton, now they seem to be Northampton Town again. I’m not saying I’ve never tried to change my name. Who hasn’t wished they were called something else? I used to want to be called Oxtail. But changing it back and forth just confuses me.
Whatever they’re called, Peter Gilbert should play for them. But it’s not going to be an easy task up against Hereford defender Ryan Green. He’s played well in the last couple of weeks despite having two dead legs. And he’s never going to get more than two.
Shrewsbury Town v Rotherham United
Shrewsbury will have to continue to try and stop other teams scoring despite the absence of goalkeeper Glyn Garner – there’s no news on when he will be back.
Bournemouth have only 17 fit players so Joe Partington must be on the bench at least. Unless he’s one of the injured players, that is.

League Two Results November 24th
Bournemouth 0-0 Dagenham & Redbridge
I was very excited when I realised yesterday that Dagenham’s goalkeeper Roberts is Welshman Tony Roberts. I wonder how many others I might have missed? Tony kept a clean sheet against a Bournemouth side who left Joe Partington on the bench.
Bury 2-1 Chesterfield
Daniel Nardiello played for Bury for the first 83 minutes. The Bury Times gave him a more than respectable 7 out of 10 for his performance. Danny had a few shots on goal but couldn’t score this time. Goalkeeper Mark Crossley was on the bench for Chesterfield – so he didn’t score either.
Cheltenham Town 5-1 Barnet
Josh Low made at least one clearance as Cheltenham thrashed Barnet.
Hereford United 2-1 Shrewsbury Town
Ryan Green played in defence for Hereford, who conceded a goal but took the three points. Shrewsbury seem to have at least four Welsh players on their books but goalkeeper Glyn Garner has a shoulder injury and the rest are teenagers.
Emdaf Jones I’m not sure about. Apparently he left Shrewsbury following an incident in the showers (really?!) but there are also reports of him ‘returning’ to Shrewsbury so maybe they let back him in on condition he doesn’t wash.
Port Vale 2-2 Torquay United
Gareth Owen and Lewis Haldane both started for Port Vale but Gareth was replaced after 42 minutes after he hurt his fractured cheekbone. He’s seen a specialist and is set to have an operation on Friday. I hope they manage to sort it out for you, Gareth.
Lewis nearly scored quite a few goals.
Rotherham United 2-0 Lincoln City
Lincoln’s Anthony Pulis lasted just seven minutes before he was forced off with an ankle injury. He is back with parent club Southampton getting it checked over. No news yet but I hope it’s not too serious.
