I honestly haven't got a clue where the money has come from, but I honestly reckon Moyes has held the board to ransom regarding his contract being up in the Summer. Kenwright would be absolutely fucking stupid to let Moyes slip away.

Seconded. That would be absolutely disastrous for Everton. Can't even imagine what Kenwright would do if Moyes left at the end of the season.

Juventus being linked with Balotelli now. Can't see him wanting to go there after all the incidents there when he was playing for Inter. I'd imagine he'll want to force through his Milan move.

Suggestions from a few journalists is that it's City trying to pressure Milan into meeting the asking price

Milan want to keep KPB (for some reason, he's been awful this season) so it looks a straight €23m bid, albeit staggered over 6 years.

Yeah, that sounds like what I read.

The Manchester Evening News (or at least the MEN's City reporter) is saying that he's been withdrawn from the squad for QPR and flown to Italy this afternoon.

looks like things finally moving with Mario. Pulled from squad travelling to London and we've been told he has flown to Italy this afternoon

Also possible, I suppose.

Apparently they are going to bid for Cavani if they do sell him.

Yeah, it'll be in the summer, though. No chance Napoli will sell him now. We'll probably use the money to bring in a defender, though. We're worryingly short at the moment.

Yeah that was the rumour yesterday. The talk today is that it's just a cash deal staggered over a number of years. Wouldn't mind getting KPB, though, he's certainly different to what we have now.

Can't see Kolo signing for them now - although maybe as a pre-contract agreement - we're short on centre-backs as it is, so it'd be a shock if Mancini lets him go now.
