Belgian wonderkid, Eden Hazard, could make his way to Arsenal in the Summer. Hazard, who is just 17 and already a revelation on the European footballing circuit, has been targeted by a number of clubs since making his debut for Lille in France at 16 years and 361 days. He is a quick winger who draws alot of comparisons to Lionel Messi in his style of play. Joining Arsenal would definitely suit the young man's style of play, but, would more than likely be looking to stay in mainland Europe in France or Spain - clubs such as Lyon, Marsielle and Real Madrid are all interested. However, Lille may be forced to accepted a lucrative offer from North London if it comes in. Don't rule a move from Catalunia either. Barcelona are keen on him.
EDEN HAZARD IS ACTUALLY 19 not 17 he was born in 1991 and more likely to go to Real, Barcelona or Inter . .not Lyon or Marseille(0)(1)

Raymundo Do Prado of Southampton will now be able to play for England after he has found a long lost relative who is English.
Is raymundo GUILLHERME Do prados brother, or is he a new player unannounced that he has come to Southampton, ironically with the same surname as guly? Or are you just talking rubbish(1)(3)

Ed. My source says that Antoine-Curier is to be looked at by Danny Wilson next week, and that Leigh Griffiths is also being considered by him too.
Febian Brandy was looked at too, but his wage demands were more than Swindon were prepared to pay him (hint - double Charlie Austin's wage!) so he got told where to go. Latest I hear he could be going to Derby, Hull or Portsmouth.
12 players are going from Dundee, and the club could be dead in 4 weeks. It is that serious that they offload and try to find investment from somewhere soon. {ed's note - it is such a shame for Dundee, but they really should have learnt their lesson last time. By the way I heard the same about Brandy, he is certainly not cheap is he?}(1)(2)

Colombian teenagers, Omar Vasquez, Pedro Franco and Eider Tello look likely to become household names in the coming years. The 3 players, in their late teens or early twenties, will be looking to follow in former team-mate - Wilso Cuero's - footsteps and make a move over to mainland Europe from South America. All three play for Millonarios in the Colombian league and have a good repuation on the continent. With Cuero getting his move to Granada CF in Spain, these three will be feeling that their turn will come soon. Pedro is the most highly rated out of all four, including Cuero, and it is a shock he wasn't the first to be snapped up. Playing in central defence he shows signs of being the next Carvalho and could attract a bid from Barcelona in order to strengthen up their backline for the future with Muniesa looking to break through their ranks permanantly shortly. Tello will and does have interest from a number of clubs, namely those in the same category level of football as Grenada but could be snapped up by a smaller Premiership team or Championship. My bet would be Stoke or Everton. Omar Vasquez could sign a contract within the next couple of seasons with Manchester United being a club that would suit his style of play. He'd be the second coming of Nani - only better.(10)(6)

-----------------------------
Dundee in a serious bit of bother now. I believe the majority of the team will be released but this will cost alot of money particularly with guys such as Gary Harkins and Leigh Griffiths who are on a decent wage for a 1st Div club. I think the following players are off to one of clubs mentioned
- Gary Harkins to Aberdeen/ Kilmarnock/ Dundee Utd/ Rangers
- Leigh Griffiths to Hibs/ Hearts/ Celtic/ Rangers
- Mickael AntoineCurier to Swindon Town/ MK Dons
- Rab Douglas to take up a coaching role
- Colin McMenamin to Dunfermline/ Inverness/ Livingston
- Sean Higgins to Airdrie Utd/ Raith Rovers/ Dunfermline.
Bad times ahead for the Dens Park Club

Dundee are confident of surviving the season, but will sell the following players in order to balance the books:
Leigh Griffiths - Swansea City (maybe Coventry if they don't sign Darius Vassell).
Mickael Antoine-Curier - Swindon Town
Craig Forsyth - Tranmere Rovers
Matt Lockwood - Oxford/ Aldershot.
Source works at Dens Park - he tells me that 12 players could be gone by next Friday. Rhys Weston is off to Oxford United on trial, whilst Griffiths has a few Championship and league 1 sides after him.
Matt Lockwood might stay if he's appointed player/ manager.
Dundee have to pay off £2m debts in 4 weeks or go out of business. {ed's note - this is why the transfer windows need to be removed, clubs suffer due to not being able to sell players to raise money when needed.}so when do you reckon curier will join swindon by then?(4)(6)

Would be surprised if Anderlecht superkid, Romelo Lukaku, didn't move to the Premiership or La Liga in January or next Summer. Being 17, he has a great number of years ahead of him and is already one of the most promising footballers around. United and Chelsea would be two suitors. The same goes for Spartak Moskva teenager, Zhano Ananidze. With blistering pace and a touch to rival Xavi, the Georgian boy - eligiable to play for Russia - could make a move over from the growing Russian League to La Liga with Real Madrid being the likely destination.(14)(7)

The word is that a section of the Board are so desperate to acrrue funding that they have now taken to cold-calling local businesses in search of short-term £25K loans to see Argyle through the next few weeks. Things are now starting to point towards administration within the next 10 days or so. The sooner the club is shot of the current so-called 'Board' the better!(11)(5)

John Heitinga is not David Moyes' favourite person at the moment. As always, having to work on a restricted budget Moysie was planning for the January transfer window. It was no great secret that top of the list was at least one, probably two strikers. Up until this week the rest of the squad was looking pretty settled. His only defensive requirement was a decent understudy to Bainsey at left back. Then, along comes Heitinga, trying to talk himself up a transfer to Bayern! Johnny lad, you don't do this sort of thing at Everton! Personally, I think that unless he consumes a huge portion of humble pie & bucks up his performances 100%, he is finished at Goodison. Even Stephen Pienaar is not out of the woods yet with Moysie - there is every chance he will be used to finance some January moves.
So, Moysie has to start looking at central defenders again - something he could have done without, I'm sure!
Where does that lead to in January? Talking to some contacts in the know, the striker search continues but now a new centre back is being searched for. Rumours that Jack Rodwell could be used there are being discounted, Moysie likes the look of him in the advanced midfield role where he believes he could contribute much needed goals.
So, early indications of ins & outs are:-
OUT.
Hetinga, Yakubu, Saha, Pienaar, (if offer contract is not signed soon)
INS.
(Obviously not all of these, these are being looked at)
Crouch, Darren Bent, Robbie Keane, Andy Carroll, Krancjar, (spelling, sorry!), Kevin Doyle, cover at l/ b, new centre back, possibly Steven Taylor, (please. .not Wes Brown! !)
Toffee Tezza.
