Harry Redknapp says Rio Ferdinand will be joining QPR once he's back from the World Cup and also that they've bid for Cardiff centre half Steven Caulker. Liverpool, Everton and Southampton might have something to say about that one but mostly, Ferdinand? Is this like the last time they signed a load of has-beens just after one last pay cheque, or not?
Those Luis Suarez talks between Liverpool and Barcelona were pretty constructive apparently, and as it stands it's looking like a £70m straight cash deal on account of Alexis Sanchez not fancying it. Never mind, Xherdan Shaqiri could choose Anfield over a new deal at Bayern Munich yet.
QPR again. They've had a £5m bid for Toulouse right-back Serge Aurier rejected, news that's given Arsenal and Spurs a bit of belief. All's not lost. The Gunners are in for Schalke striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar too but very much like yesterday, so are Liverpool.
Leeds are, by all accounts, skint but at the same time reluctant to take Fulham's £10m for Ross McCormack. You absolute card, Massimo!
Spurs have had a bid for John Stones rejected, Michael Dawson's off to Hull regardless. Dejan Lovren to the Lane? Morgan Schneiderlin to Napoli? Anyone left at Southampton next season?
One last bit of centre-half manoeuvring. Nastasic out (Juve, £8m), Mangala in for £32m. And that, friends, is FFP, Man City style.
