Have I missed something or is this just lazy? The People reckon Chelsea will turn to Robert Lewandowski if their move for Wayne Rooney fails to come off. Is that the same Lewandowski who'll see out the last year of his contract at Dortmund before joining Bayern Munich? Thought so. They also claim that the Blues will offer £40m for Rooney and pay him £300,000 a week. The Mail, meanwhile, reckon he's resigned to the fact that he won't be sold this summer. No-one's got the foggiest, basically.
Reports in Spain suggest that United are keen on a double bid for Real Madrid midfielders Kaka and Mesut Ozil. Fellaini's still on the radar too, according to the Mirror, Moyes will bid £18m. That's £5m less than the trigger on his recently expired buyout clause, fact fans.
Something to do with tax laws, being a principality, the French... Long story short, Man City could bid for Radamel Falcao, just two months after the Colombian forward joined Monaco.
Plenty of Liverpool chat today. Depending on who you believe any one of Leandro Damiao, Willian or Arda Turan of Atletico Madrid could be on their way to Anfield.
Arsenal will have to pay £25m if they want to get their hands on Michu. They won't, obviously. They're also interested in Micah Richards. No mention of an asking price but it's probably too high to even bother bidding. People need to chill out anyway. Abou Diaby will be fit by January and that'll be just like a new signing.
