Listen, don’t let the fact that Manuel Pellegrini has come out and denied it put you off, City are signing Stoke’s
Asmir Begovic for £15m in January, and sending
Joe Hart the other way on loan. Hilarious.
Musical goalkeepers!
Tim Krul is a target for Juventus (£20m apparently, which seems a touch steep) and Newcastle will replace him with Reading’s
Alex McCarthy. The
Batefimbi Gomis deal looks to be back on too. Bit of a saga that one, Joe Kinnear’s fault more than likely. They’re also interested in
Chris Samba.
As are West Ham. Though presumably not before they’ve signed some strikers.
Diego Forlan, Jermain Defoe, Felipe Caicedo, Nikica Jelavic… Take your pick.
If
Patrice Evra’s off to Monaco or PSG then United will be needing a new left back.
Alex Sandro or
Alberto Moreno it says here. What about Leighton? What about the midfield? Anyone from
Nemanja Matic, Arda Turan, Koke and Angel Di Maria as it happens.
Wolfsburg’s Brazil midfielder
Diego is out of contract in the summer and fancies a move to Arsenal. Or Southampton.
Dani Osvaldo could be on his way out of St Marys though. The Italy striker has struggled to settle and Valencia and Atletico Madrid are keen.
Fulham reckon
Phil Bardsley is the man to save them from mild impending relegation terror, which seems unlikely, while Palace will try and get out of the doghouse with a move for Blackburn striker
Jordan Rhodes, who might actually do a job.
Tottenham want Real Madrid’s
Alvaro Morata on loan,
Jackson Martinez has been telling anyone who'll listen that he’s close to a £33m move to Chelsea, and with Jose Enrique broken, Liverpool are back in for
Ryan Bertrand.
Just 33 days until the window opens!
