Atdigger. keep taking the tablets m8. Huntelaar and GVB? It's New Years Day not April first.
Celtic will probably get Robson, the German and the Brazilian(lets hope he's as good as your last two)and a centre half for cover maybe Vogel.
Rangers will get Murphy from Hibernian and maybe the kid from Villa. Nobody will leave Ibrox in January. Expect Gow to get a chance soon.

Rafa will be given next to no money because the board do not want new 'Rafa' players when they sack him in the Summer. they will save the money to give to the new manager to spend big. Berbatov will leave Tottenham, but not until the Summer when he will leave England to go to Italy. Barcelona/Madrid will also go all out to sign Cesc and Ronaldo but only one will leave.only one wants to leave. 100 percent true. Avin Grant will also be replaced in the Summer by a yet unknown target. all this stories are doing the rounds from agents, so watch how are true.
Rangers will loan out Alan gow, Stevie Lennon and Alan lowing. the latter two going to first division teams, greenock morton and hamilton accies looking likely. also going out on loan is Kris boyd with Birmingham looking the likely destination, this move is to test the water to see if he can hack it in the epl, and if so the move will more than likely become permanent in the Summer. buffel, ehiogu, cousin and amdy faye will all be shown the door. I have heard some rumblings that a double swoop will be made for Hibernian defenders David Murphy and Rob Jones, Murphy being the most likely as the negotiations are apparently at an advanced stage. Sam Dalla Bona the former chealsa midfielder from napoli seems to be a done deal. oh and no Gattuso as much as monica wants to come back, well not for a year or two yet anyway
Liverpool rumerd targets below.
CB – Anton Ferdinand/Sthephen Taylor
LB – Wayne Bridge
RB – Micha Richards (deal involving Crouch)
RM – Ashley Young (deal involving Pennant)
LM – Jeramie Menez
ST – Dimitar Berbatov (deal involving Kuyt)
Liverpool were also interested in either Kasper Schmicheal or Joe Hart but due to there recent exploits both are unlikeley.
Mort has said that Big Sam will spend. Top priority is a central defender. Top of the wishlist is either Branislav Ivanovic/Ledley King. If Barton goes to jail with the compensation money Sam will sign Giles Barnes as he was impressed by the lad during the 2–2 draw at SJP. Sam will then look to tie up a deal for Arshavin in the region of £7.5 million. If this cannot happen also look at Benny McCarthy coming in. If funds will allow it expect a move for a left full back most probably Nicky Shorey.
Tootenham will make radical changes to there frontline with Darren Bent Moving to the Hammers for £10 million and Dean Ashton. Berbatov is most likely to go to Chelsea in an exchange deal with Salomomn Kalou. Ramos will only bring 1 ex Sevilla player and that is defender José Angel Crespo who is also an Aston Villa target
Liverpool will not make any big signings, just two Youth Players from the Spanish Second Division. They are Roberto Canella, a right back, and iriome, a winger. They are viewed as two of Spain's best prospects.
Daylon Claasen is on his way to Chelsea, in 2009 or 2010.He has just signed for Ajax but Chelsea have placed him there, and have first option if he is succesful
Jefferson Farfan will move to Real Madrid and Branko Ivanovic will Move To Barcelona.
Ipswich town desperate to sign David Norris and will make £2 million bid on Wednesday. Jim Magilton reckons he can turn him into top class midfielder.

My Uncle is best mates with Tottenham Legend Gary Mabutt, my Uncle used to play a bit of ball himself as a lad but did his knee in at a young age, Gary told him the other day that Tottenham will sell Berbatov to Liverpool and to replace him and Defoe (Off to Portsmouth 6.75 million) with none other than Ronaldo of AC Millan Free and Zlatan Ibrahimovich, Straight swap for King and £5 million, this was CONFIRMED as my Uncle is now manager of Lidl in Hackney and saw Daniel Levy and Gus Poyet in the Cafe opposite SHAKING HANDS and SMILING, with the pair of them.

Finnegan and DB11 – the boys in the know.
Luke Moore will sign for Rangers on loan until the end of the season
Palace's Simon Jordan is about to spend £1.5 million on Nathan Tyson from Notts Forest. This will not be happening for a couple of weeks or so because Forest are waiting to complete deals for two new forwards before they let him go. This is guaranteed.
I have it on good authority (Iain Durrant is my Dad's cousin and have heard that Kris Boyd is making a shock move over the divide to Celtic due to his drinking antics upsetting Walter Smith.
Also Steven Naismith is being touted to clubs to take him on loan as he has put on the beef languishing around in the reserves and needs to get himself fit.
Heard from a scout at Bolton. Commons and Tyson from Nottingham Forest go to The Reebok. In return, Forest get 1.75 million and the choice of Ricardo Vaz Te or HEider Helguson for a six month loan. Interesting.
Celtic are after Harry kewl for around 1.4 and Voronin and Liverpool want mcgeady as man untied chase arthur Boruc
