Manchester United defender Patrice Evra, 32, is poised to join his former club Monaco - paving the way for Leighton Baines to move from Everton to Old Trafford.

Bayern Munich striker Mario Gomez is on the verge of a move to Napoli. Could link up with Edin Dzeko who Rafa wants. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho also interested in getting Dzeko.

Liverpool fear that Steven Gerrard will miss the start of the season.
(with Suarez suspended and Sturridge also likely to miss the start maybe Hull City should start with Liverpool)

Evian striker Saber Khelifa wants to move to the PL. Saints and Wba head the cue of interested clubs.

Celtic head the chase for Villa free agent Richard Dunne.

Bakary Sagna has fuelled speculation that he wants out of Arsenal after contract talks stall and Lauren Koscielny will also quit the gunners if quality additions are not brought in this summer. Looks like fun at the emerates again.

Classic.

 

Money bags Manchester City about to land Brazilian star Fernandinho for a cool £22m.

 

What's £12m to Manchester City if true ? Whatever price it is they wont miss it.

 

Owch. BURNED. However, I don't believe it's out of reach. Very difficult, but I wouldn't rule them out.

 

Well he has a 4 year contract to get them to the CL.

 

Jay Tabb has agreed to join Ipswich Town from relegated Reading on a 2 year contract. Yes a Fat.


Harry hoping to get free agent Wayne Bridge to DQPR for the new season. Bridges loan at Brighton has ended along with his Man City contract.

 

Palace made moves for Blackpools Ince and Phillips, SkySports understand a few others have too. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8758939/Transfer-News-Crystal-Palace-want-Thomas-Ince-and-Matt-Phillips

 

I would imagine Palace have as much chance of signing Ince as we have, i.e. none.

 

You can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket. Mind you, the pair of them will cost well in excess of £14m, so it's a risk.

 

I'm pretty sure Phillips' contract is expiring this summer. I may be wrong though.
