Another uneventful week in the actual transfer market, here’s hoping the rumours are a little bit better…

Manchester City are back in the hunt for Aston Villa’s James Milner. City may use Stephen Ireland in a player plus cash deal.

Chelsea will let Ashley Cole leave the club when they finalise a deal for Benfica’s Fabio Coentrao.

Manchester City are keeping in close contact with Barcelona over a possible move for Zlatan ‘Big Game Bottler’ Ibrahimovic should their attempts to sign Inter’s Mario Balotelli not work out.

Cesc Fabregas will not be joining Barcelona after the Catalan club’s numerous failed attempts to buy the player without actually paying any money for him didn’t work out. Funny that.

Lazy Robinho wants to stay at Santos rather than return to Manchester City which probably suits both parties just fine.

Roy Hodgson will sign Junventus’ Christian Poulsen to bolster Liverpool’s midfield this week.

Alex Ferguson will let Michael Owen go out on loan to Bristol City.

And finally, weird looking Mesut Ozil could be playing for Manchester United this season with United keen to use the disappointing Anderson as part of a deal to bring the German International to the club.
