Lars Bender to Arsenal's doing the rounds again. Make it happen, Wenger! It might be just the thing to help you get over missing out on Loic Remy (Bayern Munich are keen). Can't imagine Alan Pardew's too chuffed with that one either, or rumours of Steven Taylor to Galatasaray, Fenerbahce or Valencia. Or Tim Krul to Atletico if Courtois heads back to Chelsea in the summer. The Champions League finalists are after Olivier Giroud too, way to kick Arsene while he's down, guys...
Louis van Gaal's making demands again. He wants Mats Hummels, Marco Reus and Luke Shaw if/when he takes over at Old Trafford. There's also talk of Edinson Cavani heading to United on account of him falling out with Laurent Blanc at PSG, and a SWAP DEAL (they always come off) involving Mario Balotelli and Robin van Persie too.
Javier Hernandez, Joleon Lescott and Lewis Holtby to Villa? Bit late for all that, surely? Can't imagine any of them being overly fussed about playing in the Championship.
Chelsea are making eyes at Paulinho apparently, and in more bad news for Arsene Wenger, quite like the look of Karim Benzema as well. Romelu Lukaku, not so much. It's Roma for him this week.
Adam Lallana to Liverpool, Mohamed Diame to Everton and Kasper Schmeichel (out of contract in the summer, fact fans) to either Arsenal, AC Milan or Southampton. Done.
