A couple of freebies have gone through today. Jack Colback from Sunderland to Newcastle (quite controversially), and quite pointlessly, Joe Cole from West Ham to Aston Villa.
Also, Porto midfielder Fernando (not to be confused with Fernandinho, though that'll probably happen quite a bit once he's signed) should complete his £16m move to Man City within in the next couple of days.
Moving on to the good ol' unsubstantiated fluff, Iker Casillas' missus doesn't fancy upping sticks to London, so Arsenal will turn their attentions to Liverpool's Jose Reina instead, who's just spent a season on loan at Napoli. Alvaro Morata, on the other hand, is so keen on swapping Madrid for the capital that he'll even consider Spurs if the Gunners don't pull their finger out. Or Inter, he's really not fussy.
Something about Chelsea only paying £27m for Cesc Fabregas so Arsenal don't get a share of Barca's profit... All seems a bit far-fetched, as does Samuel Eto'o to Everton in a way. But at the same time, not. Wenger's keen on the Cameroon striker, 57, too, as well as Nigel de Jong (along with QPR).
Marco Reus probably won't be heading to Old Trafford now Barcelona have verbally agreed a £28m fee for the Dortmund midfielder. That won't stop United trying to get shot of Marouane Fellaini though, and word is they could be ready to cut their losses to the tune of accepting bids in the region of £12m.
And lastly, Sunderland have joined Hull and QPR in the race for Swansea skipper Ashley Williams. £4m might just be enough to seal the most sideways move in the history of football.
