Man Utd have apparently made a new £38m bid for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines. It’s unclear what Roberto Martinez makes of this, though I’d imagine his thoughts are less ‘derisory bid’ and more ‘bite their hand off’. The Sun reckon Moyes will move for Cesc Fabregas again in January if he’s not getting regular football at Barca by then. A lot of ifs and buts with that one, it’s probably nonsense anyway.
Spurs want Javier Hernandez, and will have to pay a worryingly reasonable £15m to make it happen. But again, probably nonsense. Erik Lamela for £27m though, that’s done, any minute now…
Samuel Eto’o could be unveiled at Chelsea today, hopefully bringing to an end the relentless-Rooney-chat. Fingers crossed. Christian Atsu’s still being mentioned too.
Arsenal miss out on a big-name, big-money signing (Yohan Cabaye). Arsenal sign an unknown Frenchman instead (Joshua Guilavogui). You all know the drill by now.
Jack Butland can’t even get on the bench at Stoke so may be off to West Brom after Ben Foster smashed his foot up to the tune of 3 months on the treatment table.
Demba Ba could be on his way back to Newcastle, also on loan and rumour has it Steve Bruce wants to take Niklas Bendtner off of Arsenal’s hands. Someone’s got to I suppose.
