January 2014 Transfer Window

Speaking of Chelsea hoovering up young players...

Reports in Croatia claim that Chelsea have completed a deal to sign 18 year old midfielder Mario Pasalic for 2 million euros.

[Baddar]

Fulham have made a 2nd bid for Neil Taylor.

Stoke make improved bid for Cattermole.

[brenchill]

CM Punk has been spotted arriving at Carrington for his medical ahead of his free transfer move to Man Utd.

Is this true, Lineker?

[Baddar]

Palace could be busy today. They're talking to Scott Dann (Cardiff interested too), and Celtic have accepted a bid for Joe Ledley, and is expected to discuss a deal.

[DFF]

Ramis has apparently failed his medical at Palace.

[ZJ Penn]

So if Osvaldo does go to Juventus, does that open the door for the rumoured Vucinic to Arsenal deal, or is that dead in the water?

[Baddar]

Kallstrom is indeed having a medical at Arsenal, according to SSN.

[King Ellis]

Kallstrom! Champ Man legend!

I do also like the idea of Stoke going to great lengths to try and shed their up and under, team of rugby players, Arsene Wegner's worst nightmare image, only to then go and sign Gazz's favourite player Lee Cattermole.

[Gazz]

I just can't fathom why anyone would want to pay money for him.

Zouma is official. He'll stay in France for the rest of the season.

Not sure what's more surprising...that Arsenal are signing Kim Kallstrom in 2014 or that he's only 31 years old!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Love Zouma, massive potential and a great replacement for the aging Terry.

Assuming he ever plays for us and we don't just sell him for profit after two loans like De Bruyne.

[stokeriño]

José has already said in his press conference that next season a further loan for Zouma is "an option". He will join us for pre-season but at the moment "he is physically ready, but not tactically ready".

He also said that we will understand in the summer why we didn't buy a striker in this window. Some have taken this to mean "secret deal already in place". I think he may just mean that at least two of our current strikers (e.g. Ba and Eto'o) will be off in the summer...so we'll have to buy then.

[DFF]

Frimpong has signed for Barnsley.

[Adam]

"Wes Brown to Real Madrid" is trending worldwide on Twitter because John O'Shea apparently wound down his car window and shouted it at the Sky Sports team outside Sunderland's ground

[Baddar]

Sounds legit.

Moyes confirms no more Utd signings during this window.

[Adam]

Someone on the BBC feed:

"Daniel Shack: Kallstrom?! Wonder if Wenger's going to make a late bid for Cherno Samba?"

What a boss Cherno Samba was on Champ Man 01/02!

[brenchill]

Andros Townsend/Nani swap deal is being mentioned. Got to be bollocks.

Zouma: Mourinho uses FM14 to scout.

Kallstrom: Wenger uses CM01/02.

[stokeriño]

United would presumably want Townshend in order to further their quest to ruin as many promising wingers as possible.

[The Lusophone]

Surprised Chelsea don't want him, seeing as ruining players on the edge of the England squad is there thing.
