Chelsea will sign Zambrota (Barcelona), Pato (Milan) and Ribery (Munich). They will only sell 1–2 players.

Rafa Benitez could let Lucas instead of Xabi Alonso. He will look to replace him with Fernandes of Valencia, currently at Everton. He also wants to bring in Fernandez of Villareal along with David Bentley. Another rumour is Armando Traore will be sought too. Finally Rafa is a huge admirer of Benzema and of Modric, though he had kept it out of the media due to high price tags. however he will be testing the water with an £8 million bid for each and look to prise them away for £15 million and £10 million respectively.

Keegan is to raid Liverpool with a bid for Dirk Kuyt, John Arne Riise and Sami Hyypia. Hyypia is available on a free but it will take £15 million to sign Kuyt and Riise.
Afc Bulletin >>>
Expect Arsene Wenger 2 move 4 WHUfc gk Green and see Bendtner maybe move the other way. If Lampard leaves Chelsea you just might see a shock move by Arsene Wenger 4 him as Lampards contract will run out in the Summer and Arsene Wenger could sign him cheaply.
DIC will complete it's takeover of Liverpool before the end of March. They have hired the PR firm 'Square1 Consulting' to deal with all media aspects of the takeover, and it is this company that has been leaking small bits of information to different newspapers to gauge the level of fan support the new takeover would recieve.

Heard that Michael Carrick could be on his way out of Old Trafford with David Moyes sniffing around and sees him as a player to get Everton in the Champions League season upon season also heard justin Hoyte could be on his way to Goodison along with Fernandes and pienaar on permanent deals while Andy Johnson will be sold if a £10 million + offer comes in as he will be on the bench mainly with Vaughan and anichebe really stepping up next year

Andy Webster will hopefully agree a permanent deal soon now the Hearts saga appears to have been resolved. Dailly and Weir to leave in the Summer. Burke, Hemdani, Boyd, Naismith + Cuellar will not be leaving, Buddhabhoy; it must be extremely hard for you to swallow, eh?
FIFA are going to bring in a new ruling season 08/09 for at least 6 homegrown players in EVERY side. Sepp Blater is raging about the '39th game' proposal which has already destroyed England's chance of hosting a World Cup again, and is going to wage war on the Premier League's glut of over–paid imports. Expect huge changes in the squads of most EPL teams:
Arsenal – Wenger will leave for FC Barcelona next season – Fabregas will go with him.
Man United – Ronaldo will join Real Madrid in the Summer for a world–record fee, funding the record–breaking U. K. transfer of Micah Richards to Old Trafford. Craig Gordon will also join from SAfc
Chelsea – Lampard will stay to keep some Englishness, Drogba will go to Milan £18 million, contrary to believe Shevchenko will stay and replace Drogba as main forward.
Liverpool – American's will sell to DIC in Summer, Torres will sign for Real Madrid, but his fee will fund the transfers of Scott Brown (Celtic), Joe Cole, Gareth Barry and Stuart Dowling as Rafa tries to add some U. K. players to his squad.
Miguel Veloso, Lionel Messi, and Klaas Jan Huntelaar will join. I also heard that Jo from CSKA and Hosny Abd Rabou from Egyptian club Ismaily are wanted by SAF. Berbatov will not join, and Ghana's Quincy Owusu Abeyie will also probably join.
Afc– to leave Arsenal, Senderos, Lehmann, Gilberto, Eboue, bentdler,
