Has Daniel Levy told AVB this news yet ? AVB denied this deal would happen this window after Spurs lost yesterday. Sunderland look like they will have a busy week if media and SSN reports are to be believed. Lazio's Argentine striker Mauro Zarate who had a spell with Birmingham in 2008 could be on the move to the mackems this week. Plus £5.5m bid for Swansea striker Danny Graham could also be accepted. Hamburgs ex.Wigan and WBA player Paul Scharner could also be on the move to MON team this week. Great news for City and Elmo if it happens.
Think the big one will be Mario Balotelli. SSN report that Juventus are now in talks with Man City. A Juve/Milan bidding war?

He has been forced to take a pay cut, his earnings(after tax), have dropped from £4m a year, to £3.5m a year. Poor bloke.
I like the way Aston Villa are in the ****, but haven't done any dealings at all (In or Out). They're condemning themselves to the inflated prices of deadline day or relegation...
"QPR boss Harry Redknapp has given his first interview of deadline day, from his car, obviously, and has confirmed Chris Samba has passed his medical with the Loftus Road side, while also admitting his interest in winger David Bentley."
£12.5m and £100k a week for Samba. He's not that good. I suppose desperate times call for desperate measures
I just saw that he's looking to sign Bentley and Jenas and they'll be QPR's 29th and 30th signings in a year. Mental.
Harry Rednapp will bankrupt DQPR in no time at all. Phil Buckingham had the right idea. 'A penny for the thoughts of Tony Fernandes' children today. Your future inheritance in the hands of Harry Rednapp....'
Too be fair though, DQPR are trying to offload as much of the deadwood as they can today to offload part of the spending. DQPR problems will start IF they are relegated. I bet very few if any of the deals will have relegation clauses in them. This is a sh.it or bust period for the Hoops.
