We'll start with one of those part-exchange deals you hear so much about (but never actually happen). £51m + Angel Di Maria + Fabio Coentrao = £95m, or one Gareth Bale. Daniel Levy is ignoring everyone in the hope they'll go away, and has flown in for talks with the Welshman. If he does end up leaving though, Spurs could turn to PSG's Javier Pastore as a replacement.
Bayern Munich are back in for Sideshow Dave, and could bid £40m for the Brazil defender. The Blues will wait until after Rio Ferdinand's testimonial before making a second offer for Wayne Rooney, the idea being that if he gets grief from the Utd fans he'll be more likely to push for a move. Tricksy, scheming mind-games from the Special One there. Trabzonspor will complete deals for ex-Chelsea duo Florent Malouda and Jose Boswinga today, with the latter having terminated his QPR contract by mutual consent.
Arsenal could be set to miss out on Bernard with the young midfielder likely to join Porto instead. Some better news for the Gunners comes in the shape of a six-month loan deal at Crystal Palace for Marouane Chamakh. Why Palace?
Park Ji-Sung could be headed back to PSV Eindhoven on a season-long loan deal and after missing out on Gary Hooper, 'Arry will switch his attention to Peter Crouch (obviously).
And Fulham are keen on Darren Bent. Done.
