Southampton chairman Ralph Krueger says Morgan Schneiderlin and Jay Rodriguez definitely won't be sold this summer. That's probably the last we'll hear of that one then...
And the news just keeps getting (sarcastically) better for Saints fans with news of interest in Arsenal right-back Carl Jenkinson, his team-mate Serge Gnabry (neutral) and Sporting Lisbon's Argentina defender Marcos Rojo (actually good).
It was nice while it lasted, but it looks like the dream's over for Marouane Fellaini. Napoli will either take him on loan or front up £15m, which do you think it'll be? Shinji Kagawa's heading back to Dortmund apparently, while Anderson and Nani will be offloaded to any poor mug who'll take them. The clearout begins.
Chelsea are struggling to find anyone willing to pay £20m for Fernando Torres and take on his £175,000 a week wages.
You know your career's coming to an end when you're being talked about as a short-term replacement for Andy Carroll, but Samuel Eto'o will at least be able to console himself with a £100,000 a week paycheque. If QPR tried pulling that shit there'd be uproar, West Ham just sail through, making rival £6.5m bids for Mathieu Valbuena while they're at it.
Spurs want Sporting Lisbon right-back Miguel Lopes on loan, Newcastle are angling for a similar arrangement (again) with Loic Remy and Ross Barkley's just signed a new deal at Everton. Must be worth at least £70m now.
