Where did it all go wrong? He held talks with Inter in the summer, but decided the Premier League was the place to be and joined Hull instead. Today, they've sent him out on loan to Championship side Nottingham Forest. Tom Ince, you've had a mare.
Raul's done alright though, making like a 70s superstar and joining NASL (one league below the MLS) team New York Cosmos. Sure, the standard might not be up to much, but Pele. And Beckenbauer.
Looks like contract talks between Marco Reus and Borussia Dortmund have broken down. To be fair, you'd probably give it a miss, or at the very least have your head turned too if there was a 'dream move' to Liverpool on offer. The Reds must seem pretty irresistible to Leverkusen defender Omer Toprak as well right now, assuming he doesn't decide to join Man Utd or Spurs instead.
Jay Rodriguez'll cost £20m in today's market, £5m more than two days ago. Inflation innit. Best get moving, Levy.
And Arsenal, lots of Arsenal. Sami Khedira obviously, but also: Romulo of Spartak Moscow (£9.5m plus Yaya Sanogo), Sevilla's Poland international Grzegorz Krychowiak (£24m buy-out clause) and Benfica youngster Goncalo Guedes. Midfielders, to a man.
Despite him not being all that good at defending any more, Chelsea are considering a £24m January move for Gerard Pique. Evening it up in to an old boy swap, Man Utd will have a go at bringing Ashley Cole back home to provide competition for Luke Shaw. That's the same Ashley Cole who's a regular starter for Roma, a side currently sat joint-top of Serie A and also doing quite nicely in the Champions League. Save him from his foreign hell!
