Real Madrid will stun Chelsea by outbidding them for Edison Cavani. They will also splash the cash to sign Luis Suarez and will attempt to also sign Gareth Bale. Higuain will definitely leave, Benzema likely to and Di Maria will go if Bale signs. Di Maria may even be sold to fund the Bale transfer

Hello, I'm back again with some more information for Ipswich fans.

Right, firstly, a new one which has been brought to my attention, Ipswich are after Colchesters Drey Wright, with a fee in the region of 225k+ add ons bing accepted for the youngster. My understanding is he is due at Portman Road soon to discuss wages, and take a medical.

Richard Stearman? Still an ongoing process, Wolves are playing hard ball, and Kenny Jackett today revealed he would be more than happy to keep Stearman for next season.

Kirk Broadfoot? I understand a 2 year contract has been offered to Broadfoot, with the player keen himself to join Ipswich. I do believe now he isn't s direct replacement for Stearman at right back, and instead will provide competition and cover for the 2 centre back spots.

Lastly, Chris Forrester of St. Pats in Ireland. I've been told Leeds have dropped interest in the youngster, due to them pursuing the brothers, Stephen and Noel Hunt. This leashes Ipswich in pole position to sign the youngster, with an offer of 200k+ add ons being talked about between the two clubs.

Once again, you don't have to believe what I say, but I've been right on many many ITFC transfers before. Will update you all again when I know more.

Cheers.

News out of Italy is that the Pozzos have rejected 3 offers for Vydra and have stated that nobody has got near to the asking price. Gino Pozzo has now confirmed that Vydra will not return to Udinese but will play for Watford again next season unless some of the clubs interested at least double their offers. They have no need to sell and unless they get 20 million euros for him will be holding on to their prize asset.

All the below activity is from a very reliable source at Tranmere Rovers who I will not name:

Firstly the management staff don't seem impressed with the wage budget they've got this season at all.

Anyway, released Huddersfield striker Alan Lee is very close to signing. Lee is taking a considerable pay cut to be re-united with the manager that he had so much success with at Rotherham.

We are interested in bringing Jake Cassidy (wolves) and Liam Palmer (sheffield wednesday) back on loan but both seem unlikely. Cassidy is seen as a first team player by wolves and palmer looks set to join bradford on loan apparently.

If we miss out on the above 2, we are already in talks to sign Blackburns Jordan Slew on a season long loan & are interesting in signing Tottenham midfield Alex Pritchard for the same amount of time. Released Sunderland midfield Adam Reed is also on our radar.

Karl Hawley (ex Scunthorpe) has been for talks with Tranmere but due to financial restrictions the squad cannot be too large and Lee was preferred to Hawley. Hawley was in talks with Crewe and Rotherham at the same time so I expect he will end up at one of those 2.

Zoumana Backayogo looks increasingly likely to leave with Sheffield Wednesday, Bournemouth and Doncaster all interested in him. Owain Fon-Williams has also attracted interest from a few other league one clubs but RM is hopeful he will sign a new deal.

Negotiations are ongoing with a few other players too who's names were not given to me.

West Ham United have absolutely no intention whatsoever of meeting Liverpool front man Andy Carroll's exhorbitant wage demands in order for the Hammers to be able to tie up a £15.5 million permanent deal for the player. Despite West Ham and the Merseyside giants agreeing a fee for the permanent transfer of the powerful striker, Carroll himself has still to settle his personal terms with the Londoners, with the former Newcastle United player demanding a weekly wage packet of £100,000, a figure the Hammers simply cannot pay for one player and a figure that Carroll believes he should now be earning. Neither side it seems is willing to move on this. Sam Allardyce, though, is still insistent that West Ham want to sign the player, saying: "At this moment in time, our first priority is signing Andy Carroll. . if we can. "

Believable0 Unbelievable0

And how would know what west ham ham will agree to and how do you know what a/c wants wages wise, its just papers speculating anything to fill a back page ???/

According to Tabloids today West ham may turn attentions to Wilfried Bony, although he is due to have discussions with a portugese and russian club this weekend.

Meanwhile Andy Carroll, who is currently on holiday in the United States, may be also be forced to have a rethink. Sam Allardyce had hoped to hear from him last week before Friday dealine, but he now fears that he will not be joining them, even though the Hammers' offer is unlikely to be bettered elsewhere.

Newcastle United, Carroll's former club, remain interested, but will not pay anywhere near the valuation Liverpool have placed on the 24 year-old, even though it is nearly £20m less than he was sold for in January 2011. Newcastle have spoken to Liverpool over a compromise but Liverpool are not willing to climb down

Andy Carroll has been told to forget about the £100,000-a-week he wants out of West Ham - despite Sam Allardyce's desperation to sign him. Andy carroll is unlikely to budge over his terms and this may well leave West ham short on options if they leave it to late.

As much as Sam Allardyce has done a good job getting west ham back into the premier league and finishing a creditable 10th, I feel he is till not the right man going forward. Next season is probably the most important season in the history of West ham and survival is paramount prior to a move to the Olympic Stadium. My worry is that Sam is going to put all his eggs in one basket (ANDY CARROLL) and as teams get used to the West ham style results will get harder and harder to come by (look what happened to Wimbledon etc). Is Carroll really the man to spearhead the West Ham attack at £15m and £100,000 a week. I somehow think not and if West ham get off to a bad start I fear for them if they have no backup plan and more importantly a striker who can consistently get goals and STAY FIT

Sources within Huddersfield suggest that Dexter Blackstock is unlikely to join as the transfer fee is to high for a squad player.

James Vaughn remains a top target, but is away on honeymoon so a quick deal is unlikely.

Away from rumours & in to players I'd want at Huddersfield (I'm a town fan): Thomas Hitzelsberger is recently released by Everton. He's highly unlikely to be a target, but he'd be quality!

Remember the Hitzelsberger thing is only a player I want, not a rumour. Let the nay sayers get their comments in now. ;)

The reality is that Palace is going to have a lot of trouble signing quality players this transfer period even with the money in the bank. Other teams have had a head start negotiating, and as much as I disagree, the verdict already seems to have already come in from the football world. that Crystal Palace will be relegated. Quality players tend to sign for established clubs.

The team is going to have to start looking at more realistic options. They have certainly had a lot of success with Jedinak and might want to try looking at Australia as a viable option to source quality players that have been strongly overlooked:

Oar - LW (he is a natural right footer who plays left. can play either) Lots of pace, great ball control and crossing. Stepped up for the Australian team recently. He looks ready!
R. Williams - Quality CB/RB who needs to get away from Middlesbrough as he keeps getting overlooked for Australian National team for being in the champions league
Spiranovic - CB who is in a similar boat to Williams, greatly overlooked for Australian team since leaving German league. Liverpool was interested last transfer period.
Holman - CAM (though has played at ST for Australia on a few occasions) - Hard to believe that he was riding the bench and then the reserves at Villa, this guy has something to prove!

Some other even less risk and very undervalued players:
Ryan (good back goalkeeper for the future), Milligan CDM or CB (filled in for Jedinak in the Aust vs Japan game. did a great job!), Mooy CAM (Lots of potential - Plays for the Wanderers in Sydney - Tony Popovic is the Manager there now after being a coach at Crystal!), Ogenovski (34 but built like a tank, would not get bullied. he is the bully!), Thwaite CB (seems to be the only one to have caught the eye of English teams), Vidosic CAM (too good to be playing in the A-league).
