    Anderson booked himself two seats on the next flight to Florence, had both meals, touched down and went straight for a


    . They're gonna have to weigh him at some point, and that could well prove awkward. Wilfried Zaha's not going anywhere though, and apparently that revelation prompted him to 'storm out of a meeting with Manchester United officials on Thursday following a "furious shouting match"'. So Nani's off instead then.

    Why are Chelsea letting Ryan Bertrand move to Aston Villa on loan? Because Luke Shaw's on his way in of course, for £30m. Diego Costa's off to Stamford Bridge as well, but not until the summer. Thibault Courtois will be thrown in as part of the deal. Kurt Zouma will show up at some point too. Bad news for Man Utd and Arsenal that one, they were awful keen.

    With Andy Carroll fit, Carlton Cole tied down and Lacina Traore on the bus, do West Ham even still have 'goal scoring problems'? Yes, apparently, and as such they'll be getting Alberto Gilardino in on loan from Genoa. Ravel Morrison's Fulham move might still be on, but it'll cost them £10m.

    Newcastle fancy a bit of Luuk de Jong on loan, and Spurs must have forgotten all about how average Salomon Kalou was in his Chelsea days. They're ready to open talks, it says here...

    Oh, Tom Ince to Monaco. That too.

    So this is a bit mental. Ji Dong-Won (2 goals in 28 appearances since 2011) left Sunderland yesterday to join Augsburg until the end of the season.

    Today it's been announced that he'll be joining Borussia Dortmund in the summer as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski.

    Borussia Dortmund! Apparently Paolo Di Canio rejected a £5m bid from them during the summer just gone as well.

    One of those two clubs are about to look pretty stupid...

    Also, Shane Long's completed his move to Hull on a three and a half year deal.

    If Shane Long had a quid for every time his name's been mentioned, he'd be a squillionaire by now. It's not as if he's the new Lionel Messi or Gareth Bale even is it?

    No, but I'd say he was the best striker at West Brom. They'll miss him.

    Had moment of confusion when i first saw Bertrand go on loan, then as you said above it all came into my mind. Luke Shaw welcome to Chelsea *hopefully*
