If Roberto Mancini
can’t have Antonio Valencia, can’t have Bebe, then he’ll bloody well have
Nani. It’s not even just about strengthening United anymore, Chelsea want
Wesley Sneijder see, so the Galatasaray midfield could be a bit light come January. Jose Mourinho clearly thinks his is (it’s not) because he’s also after
Nemanja Matic and Marseille’s
Gianelli Imbula.
Ellaquim Mangala from Porto too, but it's ok, he’s a defender. £40m’s worth apparently.
David Moyes’ pursuit of Spanish midfielders playing in Spain went so well over the summer that he’s going back for more in January. The latest comic turn will involve
Koke, Atletico Madrid and a £16m release clause. Looking forward to it.
Remember
Javier Hernandez? Andre Villas Boas does. Out-of-favour PSG striker
Ezequiel Lavezzi is ‘on the radar’ too. This all depends on Spurs first being able to shift
Emmanuel Adebayor though, so don’t get your hopes up.
Paulinho only arrived at White Hart Lane a few months ago but there’s already talk of a contract extension to fend off interest from Real Madrid. Is it even worth putting up a fight?
Haha, Arsene Wenger eh? Getting the hang of this spending money lark now isn’t he eh? Haha… £43m for
Karim Benzema?
Not funny.
It might be that Bayern Munich actually don’t want
Robert Lewandowski after all (we’ll be hearing plenty more about this) so the Gunners could make a move in January. Man City are keen too.
Tiago Ilori may be loaned out to Valencia after finding game time hard to come by at Anfield, Roma are sniffing around
Micah Richards and Sam Allardyce needs a striker, any striker, Herenveen’s
Alfred Finnbogason, maybe him.
Yossi Benayoun to QPR on a free. Why this hasn’t happened long before now I’ve no idea.
