In an attempt to keep several key players happy Newcastle will have a re-think about selling Jonas Guti rrez and Coloccini who are nearing the end of their contracts. This may see the introduction of the forgotten Milito brother Gabriel who could leave Barca on a free in the summer, this along with the rumoured introduction of Valencia's Vincente to add a little more creativity to the midfield as well as back up for Jonas. But if this doesn't convince Enrique to stay his replacement could be Reto Ziegler or the much more pricey Izaguirre of Celtic, the former being on a free. Marseille's Taiwo is also available but there are several clubs knocking on that door but Ben Arfa may put in a good word. Other targets are Klose, Trochowski, WBA's, Odemwingie, Elmander, Marveaux of Rennes, Gervinho of Lille, Erdin of PSG and the mercurial Pirlo of Milan but I just can't see that one tho. Spend it and spend it well!

Marveaux has agreed to sign for Liverpool on a free in the summer, this is common knowledge.

Benfica are frontrunners for Taiwo. They can offer CL football, higher wages and a hot climate; none of which Newcastle can offer.

Pirlo's wages would be so expensive it would make more financial sense to rebuild St James Park on the Moon.

Gervinho is currently being monitored by Liverpool, Arsenal and Villareal, with AC Milan waiting in the wings if their moves for Neymar and Hazard fail to go through.

The Coventry fan who posted about players being on the move is correct.

Here's where most of them are/may be heading:

Kieren Westwood - Swansea (favourites to sign him)
Isaac Osbourne - Notts. County (depends on wages)
Aron Gunnarsson - Brentford (limited interest in him)
Michael McIndoe - Huddersfield
Clive Platt - St. Johnstone
Roy O'Donovan - Hartlepool United (very likely to happen)
Conor Thomas - Liverpool - 1m + add ons

Swindon could have a new player in on loan soon.

Wolves want to loan out the returning Michael Kightly, who has been out for over a year injured, and have considered loaning him to the Wiltshire club for a month.

Meanwhile, Matt Ritchie is poised to leave the club and sign a pre-contract deal with Brighton for next season. He will train with the Seagulls but not become a player with them until July 1st. David Prutton will also join Brighton in the summer, as he has been told he is not wanted by the club after swearing at manager Danny Wilson.

Most of the Swindon squad are requesting summer moves away from the club.

Your spot on with Rodwell too, A Rodwell deal has already been fundimentally agreed between both parties which I'm told involves Gibson.

I no nothing offical about a proposed Hazard deal.

The Redest Devil

I am sorry but I hardly think that Manchester United officials will share privy information to someone whom cannot spell "know".

BBC gossip column does not count as inside information.

Deluded.
