    The Twitter talk is a Defender based in the German league (cant be bothered to attempt to type bundesliga and then check to see if its spelt right!)

    Supposidely we are close to a deal which will be 8 figures, In excess of £10m and this is ontop of Mbemba.

    There is alot of confidence in Charlie Austin signing, but a lot of complicating matters
    1) Cisse has to go as we will have too many strikers and Rivirre has a knee injury so hard to get rid of
    2) players will be going to QPR, fringe players such as Vukic, obertan Bigi, Fergurson - QPR have to say who they want and agree terms

    If these rumours are correct, i believe we currently stand at around £32m spent with Mbemba

    Add 10m for instance for the mystery bundesliga defender - £42m

    Add 12m for Charlie Austin - £55m

    and they still want a winger!

    Obvioulsy all rumours and no actual press are confirming this and I find it hard to contemplate NUFC spending over 50 or 60 million, but if some players go, cisse, colo, vuckic, obertan, bigi, fergurson, Mike Willo,

    Then maybe we might scrape together a good 10m-20m worth of savings, when including salaries! plus we paid nothing for coaching staff and got 3m for pardew. It might not seem as crazy as initially thought!

    Furthermore, a portugese agent has tweeted saying that Joao Mourinho will be in NUFC tomorrow to complete a 13M euro deal, but i dont believe that, just relaying

    It's fake - The twitter account 'claiming' to be a Portuguese journalist is actually using a photo of a murder victim. It's complete garbage.

    Expect a lot more of these dead ends and fakes as the 'in-the-know' journalists start panicking at the thought of surprise signings proving that they aren't in the know!

    Seems the most likely. Also, he's not African so we wouldn't lose both CBs to the ACON.

    I suspect riviere injured is worth more than when fit. At least you can claim on the insurance!

    Fantastic playmaker but howay, Joao Moutinho is not joining us <laugh>

    We would have a ridiculous midfield if him and Shakira Shakira joined. We could set up like this:

    Krul
    Janmaat
    Gini-Sissoko-Moutinho
    Aarons-SDJ-Cabella-Shakira
    Mitrovic-Austin

    Just sack off defending. Poor Perez :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Don't mean for this to come across as a wum but looking at it as objectively as possible I don't see why he'd want to go to you.
    Miles away from where he wants to live, not great money (relatively), not a club likely to be pushing for Europe or even the top half, realistically.

    Fair play if you get him because I think he's a bargain at £15m and perfect for you. I just honestly think he's too good.
