I just signed him in FM

These Cuadrado rumours are moving pretty swiftly... Latest claim is that a £21m bid rejected and they're basically trying to get any kind of undercut on his £27m release clause.

So clearly it won't happen until the summer then. Or not at all.

But if we could get him in (and presumably ship Salah out somewhere), the sooner the better. He's not cup-tied in the Champions League, after all.

West Bromwich Albion striker Georgios Samaras is set to leave the Hawthorsn and join big-spending Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal. The former Celtic star to head to the Middle East on a six month loan with a view to a permanent deal.

I forgot he was even at WBA.

Cruzeiro midfielder Lucas Silva is on the verge of a move to Real Madrid, according to Spanish publication Marca. The report suggests the 21-year-old is set to sign a six-and-a-half-year contract at the Bernabeu and could be unveiled next week.

The Sun (aka fetch your salt bag) are claiming that Swansea will be signing Kyle Naughton and Tom Carroll from us for a combined £10m.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Shame about Carroll.

[Plubby]

Cost of doing business. We had to get rid of one of our right backs named Kyle that can't defend.

Luke Daniels has joined Scunthorpe from West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee, on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

Odegaard in Real Madrid? Guess Real is already preparing the sucessor to Cristiano. Nice move.

Not much market news today here in Portugal since yesterday we had the League Cup but Franco Jara from Benfica is rumoured to move on loan to Greek Champions Olympiakos until the end of the current season. A lot of clubs want the Argentinian Striker who could be a nice signing for a Leicester or Crystal Palace type Squad in my opinion.

The Buy-out option for Daniel Opare was revealed to be at €5M so anyone playing Besiktas in the upcoming Winter FM Patch 5M might be managable.

This one for James. Tottenham has been reported to have made a €7.8M offer on Algerian Striker Islam Slimani to Sporting. Personally I feel this is a great offer and a very nice buy by the Spurs but Sporting is said to find the offer a bit low.

Manchester City is reported to be interested in 17 year old striker Alex Silva who plays for the B Squad of Vitoria de Guimarães. The player just arrived on the club from the Sporting Academy and made his debut against Benfica B seems to have impressed the English Squad. A promising young player who could develop. Still young but hey if City wants him you better believe he could improve.

[Jimmy]

Really hope we don't sell Carroll, really rate him. I mean, I still don't know whether he'd fit Poch's pressing style, but he's one of the few English players who has real vision for a pass.

Who's James?

Manchester United forward Will Keane is reportedly close to joining Sheffield Wednesday on loan until the end of the season. The 22-year-old’s contract with United expires in the summer and the Daily Mail report he will complete a loan move to the Owls in the next 24 hours.

[The Legendary Fisherman]

Does he post here?

He just did the silly banter.

[Rich]

We don't like banter here.

[Matt]

Banter? I. hardly even know her

Be nice to Jimmy, he's only 12.
