Championship

Boro defender joins Robins on loan

Bristol City have completed the signing of Middlesbrough defender Stephen McManus on loan. Centre half McManus has joined the Robins till the end of the season.

The 29 year old McManus has captained both the Scottish national team as well as domestic giants Celtic but his career at the Riverside hasn’t quite gone the way it should have. He regularly chalked up over 40 appearances a season at Celtic, but has made only 20 odd appearances this season at Boro.

Robins boss Derek McInnes, who handed McManus a league debut in their outing against Crystal Palace, was delighted to have secured the services of the non compromising defender and expressed his hope that he would bolster their backline.

Bates reveals reason for Grayson sacking

Leeds United chairman Ken Bates has revealed the reason for manager Simon Grayson’s sacking to be the latter’s want for an extra midfielder. Bates made the announcement in his programme notes for the Whites’ 2-1 weekend loss to Brighton and Hove Albion.

Grayson wanted to sign an extra midfielder in the recently concluded January 2012 window and Bates, put off by the fact that the proposed signing would cost the Whites around £1.5million over the length of his contract and that they already had nine medios on their books, refused. Things came to a head between the two and Bates promptly parted company with Grayson and his coaching staff after their loss to Birmingham City in the Championship.

Baggies clinch Ridgewell signing

West Bromwich Albion have completed the signing of defender Liam Ridgewell from Championship side Birmingham City. Ridgewell passed his medical and has put pen to paper a two and a half year deal at the Hawthorns, with the option of a further year. The fee WBA paid for Ridgewell is unclear, but is reported to be somewhere in the £2m region.

Ridgewell’s transfer has happened too late for the defender to take part in West Brom’s midweek clash against Fulham, but he could make his debut this weekend when Roy Hodgson’s side take on Swansea City.

Ridgewell, a left back who can also play in the centre if required, joined Birmingham from Aston Villa around five years ago.

Eder reveals West Ham talks collapse

Academica striker Eder has revealed that his proposed move to Championship promotion hopefuls West Ham United has broken down. The forward, who has also been the subject of interest from Porto and Everton, said that a meeting between him and the Hammers had been conducted, but they could not reach upon an agreement as talks failed to materialise.

Undeterred by their failure to swoop for Eder, West Ham have now turned their attention to Brazilian Ze Eduardo, who plays for Serie A outfit Genoa CFC. The Hammers want a loan move, much like they did with Eder, and hope to have the move wrapped up before the conclusion of the transfer window on Tuesday night.

Town to seal Stevenson deal

Ipswich Town have agreed a deal with Heart of Midlothian for the transfer of Ryan Stevenson. The midfielder is expected to move south to Portman Road on an eighteen month deal after the Tractor Boys and the SPL club agreed on a transfer fee of £50,000. Stevenson’s contract with Hearts was due to expire at the end of the current season and he wanted it to be terminated but the club held on for a fee, after rejecting a bid from Crawley Town a few days earlier.

Stevenson expressed delight at the transfer, saying that it was a long cherished wish of his to play in England. He last played for Hibs in December 2011.

Tractor Boys agree fee for Wallace

Ipswich Town have agreed a fee with Scottish outfit Falkirk for the transfer of defender Murray Wallace. The announcement was made by Tractor Boys boss Paul Jewell, who said he was hopeful of wrapping a move for the youngster in the next couple of days.

Wallace will come down to Portman Road to discuss personal terms after Sunday’s Scottish League Cup game against Celtic. Jewell also added that Ipswich faced competition from a number of clubs, with Brighton and Hove Albion the most prominent among them, for Wallace’s services. Charlton and Huddersfield are rumoured to be the other clubs to have held discussions with Falkirk.

Wallace played for Rangers as a boy, but didn’t make the grade at Ibrox and was not granted a professional contract.

Canaries loan out Smith

Championship outfit Barnsley have completed the loan of Korey Smith on loan from Norwich City. Smith becomes the Tykes’ second loan signing from the Premier League in the span of a few days after the capture of Michael Tonge from Norwich’s league rivals Stoke City. However unlike Tonge, who will stay on loan till the end of the season, Smith will only be at Oakwell for a month.

The 20 year old Smith has struggled to gain regular first team football for the Canaries this season and has so far made only one appearance- in the Carling Cup, when the Canaries were thrashed 4-0 by Milton Keynes Dons.

Smith could make an appearance when Barnsley meet Derby Count in a midweek league fixture.

Terriers re-sign Royals defender on loan

Huddersfield Town have completed the signing of Reading defender Sean Morrison on loan till the end of the season. The deal marks Morrison’s second loan stint with the Terriers- he spent a month with them last season ( in March 2011) but never made an appearance and went back to the Royals in April.

Manager Lee Clark said that he was impressed with Morrison’s commitment last season and added that he would fit into their plans very well this season.

Morrison was a regular with Swindon Town before joining Reading after the Royals activated a release clause in his contract. He has previously had a loan stint with Southend United.

Tykes swoop for Tonge

Barnsley have completed the signing of Michael Tonge on loan from Stoke City. Tonge was recently linked with a switch to SPL side Hibernian but the move collapsed and he has now opted to join the Tykes on loan till the end of the season. Tonge joined Stoke from Sheffield United in 2008 for £2m but failed to break into the starting XI at the Britannia Stadium and has now been allowed to go out on loan to garner some regular football.

Barnsley are sitting a lowly 15th in the Championship at this moment, having collected 36 points from 27 games so far. Manager Keith Hill will be hoping that Tonge’s abilities will help them move above the table.

Robins give Latics permission to speak to Maynard

Wigan Athletic have been given permission by Bristol City to discuss personal terms with striker Nicky Maynard after the two clubs reached an agreement over the 25 year old. The transfer fee in question, not publicly disclosed by either or the Robins or the Latics, is reported to be somewhere around £2m.

Roberto Martinez wants to add some firepower upfront and sees Maynard, who has been Bristol City’s highest scorer in the league for the last two seasons following his arrival from Crewe, as a potential solution. Maynard is out of contract at Ashton Gate in the summer and manager Derek McInnes is willing to cash in on his star forward in January instead of losing him for nothing in the summer.
