West Brom net Arsenals Simpson

West Brom have secured the signing of young Arsenal striker Jay Simpson on loan until the end of the season.
The Baggies have been desperate to sign a striker since losing Ishmael Miller to a cruciate ligament injury that will keep him out for the rest of the season.
Simpson is yet to play a league game for the Gunners despite scoring twice in the Carling Cup.
He said, “If I get chances to score I intend to take them. I’m going try my hardest and try to score as many goals as I can.”
The youngster has also spent a spell on loan at League One club Millwall. He scored six goals in 41 appearances for the Lions, winning the League One player of the year.

Fuller Appologises for Griffin ’slap’

Ricardo Fuller has spoken for the first time since his bizarre sending off at Upton Park.
Fuller appeared to slap captain Andy Griffin after Carlton Cole netted West Ham’s equaliser.
Stoke went on to lose the match to a deflected Carlton Cole shot.
Fuller now faces a spell on the sidelines.
He said, “It happened and that’s all - I’m sorry for the fans especially as we didn’t get the three points,” said Fuller.
“I said to Griff ‘clear the ball out’ and he was rude and disrespectful. It’s all done and dusted now.”
Fuller will now miss Citys next three games.

Parkinson Appointed Charlton Boss

Charlton Athletic have today announced that caretaker boss Phil Parkinson is to take charge full-time at the Valley.
Parkinson has been in charge of the Addicks since Alan Pardew left on 22 November. He has seen his side pick up 3 points from a possible 24, and although Charlton are rooted to the bottom of the Championship, chairman Richard Murray believes Parkinson is the man to save the club from relegation.
He said, “The overwhelming feeling was that Phil was the best man to lead us and rescue us from our current plight.”
“With 20 matches remaining this season, we were aware that time was an issue, particularly with the January transfer window opening on Thursday,” added Murray.

Lita looks set for City loan

Leroy Lita looks set to extend his stay at Norwich City until the end of the season.

The 24-year old hit man returned to Reading on Monday but his future at the Royals has looked bleak since falling down the pecking order, with Stephen and Noel Hunt in fine form, and not forgetting the Championships top scorer Kevin Doyle.

Lita has been in lethal form for Norwich so far this season firing 7 goals.

With Norwich unable to raise enough funds to bring in Lita permanently, the Canaries have made an offer for a half season loan.

City manager Glen Roeder said, “We would very much like to keep him [Lita]. ‘Reading know that and we will be working on that over the next couple of days.’He can stay on a second half of the season loan - we would like to do that and Reading know that. Whether we can achieve that we will have to wait and see, but we will certainly be working hard on trying to make that happen and, having spoken to Leroy a few times in the last week or so, he would very much like to stay”.

However, the Canaries will be hopeful that Premier League clubs West Brom and Stoke do not come in with late offers, both of whom have reportedly shown interest in Lita to bolster their survival hopes in the Premiership.
