Celtic will make moves for;
McFadden – £4 million
Maloney – £1.5 million
McCarthy – £1 million + bonuses
McDonald – £500 k
Fletcher – £2.5 million
Murphy – £1.5 million
expect four of the above to sign, probably the top 4 over January and the Summer.
Leaving Celtic are;
Balde
Riordan – £1.5 million
Zurawski – £750 k
McLeish has given Birmingham a wish list of players. Top of the list is McFadden (Celtic will not be happy). Expect Moyes to ask for Muamba in exchange.
McLeish at Birmingham, expect him to raid Scotland and sign Hemdani from Rangers and put in a cheeky bid for McGeady and Boruc of Celtic
Watch out for a swap with Liverpool and Real Madrid xabi Alonso+ £7.5 million for Guti, hienze&Gago obviously there may be some outs, I. e, auriellio, Voronin and poss Sissoko and Pennant
Preston North End say that they are using their emergency £5 million pound funds to put in an offer for Michael Chopra and Joey Barton. Also expected in January is Matty Holland from Charlton and possibly Dave Kitson from Reading. Irvine has some new plans to take PNE to Number 1 again.
It's been a long time since I have been on here and admittedly I used to post some fantasy rumours, much like everyone else does. However, I have recently heard a couple of interesting stories that could materialise. I have been told that Jose Mourinho will be named as the new England coach, and everyone knows he will not be afraid to yield the axe should he feel the need. Also, Newcastle are on the verge of sacking Sam Allardyce and word has it that Fabio Capello is the man they have identified to replace him. Should Capello join, he will be making an audacious bid for LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham. The former England captain has not raised the profile of MLS soccer sufficiently and a move back to the Premier League would appeal. It would be an extra + for Beckham to be reUnited with Capello who he played under at Real Madrid.
Liverpool are going to be given £20 million to spend in January + any transfers out. leaving will be Carson to Villa for £10 million, Kuyt to Ajax for £8 million and Sissoko to Juve for £10 million, giving Rafa 48 million to spend. in will come:
Jermaine Defoe £8 million
Aaron Lennon £12 million
Steven Taylor £8 million
Garay for £10 million
Warnock for 5 mill
Huntalar for Aurelio Pennant and Voronin
And finally a cheeky bid for Patrick Agyemang from Preston for 2 mill
The final £3 million will be spend on youngsters

After the game in seville it is clear that Wenger cannot rely on Senderous, expect a new centerback in January. hence the rumours for the uraguyan kid.
Wenger will also invest in a winger, probably menez or Nasri.

R Van Der Vaart will be joining Arsenal for a fee of £12 million in January as a replacement for Gilberto who is off to Juve. Also Samir Nasri will be joining because Wenger is a huge admirer of the young Frenchman the fee is £12 million. People are saying Kaka will be joining but that is complete rubbish Wenger will no spend a load of money on one player
Juan Roman Riquelme is not going to Everton.
He has just signed for Boca Junours after they agreed compensation with Villareal to allow the player to move on. Everton had previously been close to signing him but now they will turn there attention to Joe Cole of Chelsea with a bid of around £12 million likely to be accepted.

Riquelme is going to Boca, so you can stop all the Riquelme to and EPL club rumours. The big news is the swap between Chelsea and Zenit with Joe Cole going one way and Arshavin coming to London. Roman wants a good Russian and this is the second time he's tried to swap Cole to Russia with a 2004 proposal to Lokomotiv scuttled at the last moment. Joe Cole has a unique style of skill better suited to the more technical Slavic game than the English game and will thrive at Zenit
