Wayne Rooney etc, etc…
More on that here but The Independent reckon he’ll submit a transfer request to try and force a move. Third time’s a charm, eh Wazza?
United clearly don’t fancy
Juan Mata, we know that much, so they’re pressing on with moves for
Cesc Fabregas (they’ll go as high as £31m) and
Marouane Fellaini (who’ll link up with Moyes again rather than go to Arsenal should it come down to it).
Could be a bit of a dust-up in a fancy Rome hotel on the cards. Manchesters United and City, Chelsea and Barcelona will ‘battle it out’ for Roma’s 19-year-old Brazilian defender
Marquinhos. And as long as they come out of that unscathed, Chelsea and City will go a second round over
Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It’s all kicking off.
Lyon will include
Yoann Gourcuff as part of a package to sign Gervinho, hoping that will see off interest from Roma. Gevinho. Really?
Big day for Roma chat. They’ve signed PSV’s
Kevin Strootman for £15m so he’ll not be going to Man Utd, who also seem to be hogging procedings somewhat…
Moving on, it’s looking like it’ll take the full £40m to prise
Luis Suarez away from Liverpool, and the Reds may spend some of that cash on
Bernard of Atletico Mineiro. It says £20m here, let’s hope it doesn’t escalate in to one of those Carroll-plus-£15m-for-Torres type situations, they don’t tend to end well.
And Spurs still want
Alvaro Vadillo from Betis, or the ‘new Cristiano Ronaldo’, if you prefer.
