Gabriel Paulista's completed his move to Arsenal, and West Brom have signed Wigan winger Callum McManaman for £4.75m. Some actual transfers! Unreal.
It's the lies and speculation we stay for though, and they don't come much bigger than 'news' of Arsene Wenger reviving his interest in Luis Suarez. He's not exactly set the Camp Nou alight since leaving Liverpool in the summer, and you will of course remember the £40m+£1 fiasco of 2013. That's probably all it's based on.
Are Chelsea still giving Juan Cuadrado the eye? Will Fiorentina settle for anything less than £35m? Even then, is it all dependant on Andre Schurrle moving to Wolfsburg for similar money? This one could go 'RIGHT DOWN TO THE WIRE', no doubt.
And then there's Sergio Ramos, stalling on a new deal at Real Madrid, putting Chelsea and Arsenal on red alert. Not until the summer, mind. Hold it down.
Man Utd look like taking a tidy hit on Wilfried Zaha. He signed for an initial £10m in 2013 (obviously none of the add-ons have been activated), but now he's on his way back to Palace for just £3m. He was Fergie's last signing, you know. No sort of legacy. Neil Taylor ought to be strutting his stuff at Selhurst Park before long too. A £3.5m fee has been agreed for the Swansea left-back.
Emmanuel Adebayor is apparently a target for PSG. The French champions want him on loan til the end of the season. Cool.
Ravel Morrison's in Rome for a Lazio medical, his West Ham team-mate Matt Jarvis is a target for West Brom and Cardiff, and Southampton may or may not be about to sign Benfica forward Filip Djuricic on loan. It could, like many things, go either way.
