I came on here tonight to check incomings, not one of the best players potentially leaving. With WC year coming up and the dross we have become, it is not a surprise that Cabaye looks like he might be off. Anything under £25 million and I will be disappointed. Whatever we get if he goes it just adds to the shopping list though.

I'd be more bothered if it was Hatem tbh.

At 27 he might think he needs to win something - lets face it ain't gonna happen with us. If it is true (still not sure yet) at least it is Monaco and not Manure. Hope Dekka can fleece them.

We have to spend to keep up with all the others that are blowing their TV money. I hope we replace him and the other gaps in the team...

Still not sure it is true yet but if it is in L'Equipe he is probably on his way. Be nice to see some re-investment if we have another wodge of cash to spend.

Only consolation is Monaco have the resources to pay a fortune for Mr Dreamboat.

Can't see anything online. If true, better be a lot of money.

Ilombe Mboyo from Gent linked on Sky Tyne and Wear. Belgian, 6'3 forward who got 20 goals for Gent last season. Also a former con.

IF we got him and Thauvin in January we would not have needed much at all in the Summer. Over to Graham Carr to find some inexpensive gems.

Ba on loan to Wet Spam according to the Mirror who also think Bent may or may not go to Fulham.

If this and the Douglas thing is true we complete our supposed 2 target positions and summer spending for £6 million. Sounds like us tbh.

Bent has a terrible injury record too. Of course better than Strolla but we can do better.

Can't see many getting 'Bent' on the back of their shirts if it is true.

Did Pardew manage him at Charlton? Can't remember.

Colyn‏@CNarr071m Very well placed club source says that the chances of #nufc signing Andy Carroll have improved from 50-50 to 75-35. #itk #lfc #whufc Nice maths!

Thauvin looks like the next big thing. Such a shame we missed out.

Would also get shot of Gosling to go with Simpson and Harper leaving. A new flashy CF and a fast winger on top of this would be great.

There is going to be a story from Mark Douglas on the player that shares his surname in The Journal tomorrow so it looks like this might be the first real link of the summer.

Douglas certainly ticks a few boxes - free, age, size etc. I wonder if this one might be true.

The Spectator's View‏@thespectoview2m Rumours surfacing that Llambias is to meet #QPR officials next week ahead of a move for Loic Remy. Thoughts? #nufc I wanted Remy and Douglas in January although not so sure now. Especially as Remy turned us down for QPR and might get locked up!
