From what I've heard it's always been Everton that were in for him, Fulham was just rumours.

Molde defender Vegard Forren is apparently very close to signing for an unnamed European side. SkySports are claiming the club is Fulham, but other sources around Molde have denied this. The transfer is expected to be announced very soon anyway. Could be Everton, maybe?

Not liking the rumors about Taison. Probably the only place in the squad we don't need strengthening.

Don't know anything about him, so I can't comment. But I agree that the attacking midfielder/winger position is one where we don't need any additions.
If we were to try to get someone there, the Isco rumors were much more enjoyable, but most likely just that.. rumors.

Benat Etxebarria's been rumored as well.

Apparently Lampard rejected a 3 year contract from us?!

Not a surprise if true. If he does leave (which seems likely by all reports), he'll probably move aboard. I don't think he'd be the sort of player that would play for another EPL side at this stage.

I wouldn't say we don't need strengthening in the attacking midfield area. Ideally two players for every position are needed. We've already seen just how badly we struggle once Mata and Hazard are left out. Oscar for me isn't good enough to play in behind like Mata does, while Marin is still largely unknown. Another attacking option in that area wouldn't be a bad thing. Would also mean never having to hopefully see Ramires or Bertrand play wide either.

That said, it shouldn't be a priority either.

I wouldn't mind Chelsea signing Taison - makes our games against Kharkiv that bit easier.

We need all the help we can get at the minute!

I think, if we are going to buy more players we should focus on a CB. With Luiz showing just how much better he is as a DM, we only really have 3 CBs, one known for getting injured. That leaves us with 2 CBs. We are also known for getting red cards at the wrong times. So, a good, young CB wouldn't be bad.

He's reportedly not keen on a move there and I think the talks between the clubs are still in the very early stages. It'd be a very strange move if it goes through.

TRANSFER GOSSIP 9TH JANUARY 2013

Liverpool are close to finalising a £6m deal for Blackpool forward Tom Ince, 20, after a breakthrough in negotiations.

Beckham has yet to make a decision on his future

Former England captain David Beckham has been offered a two-year deal to join the Qatar Stars League.

Swansea boss Michael Laudrup wants Stoke striker Kenwyne Jones, 28, to replace Danny Graham, who is being chased by Reading and Sunderland.

Laudrup is also lining up another cut-price deal from Spain with a £750,000 move for Real Betis midfielder Jose Canas.

Arsenal will this week make an improved five-year offer of £25m to Theo Walcott in a bid to resolve the 23-year-old forward's contract saga.

Manchester United's path to signing Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, 20, looks to be clear after Tottenham insisted they would not pursue the youngster.

Rafael Benitez has warned Chelsea's senior players that they must face up to the prospect of their inevitable departures from Stamford Bridge.


Manchester United striker Davide Petrucci, 21, and defender Scott Wootton, 21, are expected to move on loan to Championship side Peterborough United - managed by Sir Alex Ferguson's son, Darren - this week.

Reading have made an approach to sign Manchester United's 22-year-old England forward Danny Welbeck.

Manchester United's 34-year-old defender Rio Ferdinand is ready to snub deals from the Middle East, MLS and China and instead pledge his future to the Old Trafford club.

Shakhtar Donetsk have offered Toulouse £12m for 22-year-old French striker Wissam Ben Yedder.

Former Brazil international Rivaldo, 40, looks set to join the 15th club of his professional career after reaching a deal with Brazilian club Sao Caetano. The 1999 Ballon D'Or winner left Angolan club Kabuscorp last November.

France forward Loic Remy, 26, currently at Marseille, would prefer a move to Newcastle over his other Premier League suitors QPR.

Gus Poyet
Blackburn targeted Brighton boss Gus Poyet to replace Henning Berg.

Blackburn Rovers have identified Gus Poyet as the man to replace Henning Berg as the club's new manager but have been priced out of a move due to the amount of compensation sought by his current club Brighton & Hove Albion.

Major League Soccer side Toronto FC unveiled new head coach Ryan Nelsen on Tuesday, only to acknowledge they are not sure when the veteran New Zealand defender will be free to lead the club.

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas is still unhappy over his departure from Chelsea, blaming owner Roman Abramovich for not committing to the objectives.

Manchester City have returned approximately 900 tickets for their match at Arsenal on Sunday. The category A tickets were priced at £62.

Never a transfer window without Per Ciljan Skjelbred being linked to Newcastle:

Norwich City are believed to be interested in Hamburg midfielder Per Ciljan Skjelbred – although the Canaries’ Premier League opponents this weekend are the club in pole position to land the 25-year-old.

The former Rosenborg star has been told he can leave the German Bundesliga club for free during the January transfer window, and Newcastle United – who visit Carrow Road at the weekend – have held preliminary talks about a possible move to England. But with the Magpies now stalling, it is understood Norwich have made contact.

Hughton scouted Skjelbred during his time in charge at Newcastle, but was reportedly unwilling to match the fee Rosenborg were demanding.

The Norway international has 16 caps, his last coming in 2010. He was also a team-mate of compatriot and current Norwich midfielder Alex Tettey at Rosenborg.

Also apparently Coloccini is off to San Lorenzo and won't be playing at the weekend.

Sensible bet would be us to get relegated if that goes through.

Really? Fucking hell, will be a tough fight to stay up then. Unless you can get Douglas in and he adapts quickly.
