From Le Figaro: 12:41: Highly coveted, Youssef El Arabi would now be followed by FC Sevilla. The Caen striker also interested Genoa and Newcastle but should not leave the Stade Malherbe for less than 8 million.

The only thing that would excite me is Barnetta out of those linked. But he's a winger - why do we need another one? Is this for the right midfield? Of course we do need a winger. He is quite versatile anyway. Can play all over the midfield.

Why Simpson? Hopefully he'll turn out to be a fantastic player.

The Chronicle - United are closing in on a double deal for Bayer Leverkusen’s Switzerland midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta and Saint-Etienne’s highly-rated Blaise Metudi – while Demba Ba is expected to be unveiled by the end of the week.

Oh, Demba Ba. Sorry

RTG Transfer News/Bollocks: Re: Demba Ba

Cwarris. End of.

None, please. Anyway - Larsson is signing for Sunderland, Gardner for West Ham and Elmander for Galatasaray.

Can't see Erding playing in that position.

oluwashina Oluwashina Okeleji Cote d’Ivoire international Gervinho has AGREED to join Arsenal on a four-year contract from French champions Lille. Announcement this week.

He's not really a target man. Although I can see why you made that assumption upon seeing a big black striker, you knuckle-dragging neanderthal.

There's something in the Chronicle later. Not much new though I reckon.

Decent signing for them that. He is nothing special, but will improve their team as it is now.

Everton's lure is overrated on here. Even if they've ended above us for a good while, I'd say we've got just as big of a name as Everton out there. Ambitions, money and the French connection is possible specific reasons.

Better than what we have. Still worse than they should be looking for with their money. I'll be happy if they spend it on this old lanky player.

mattspiro Matt Spiro #MUFC bid a whopping €10.5m for Raphael Varane. He sits his philosophy baccalaureate exam today. Current wage at Lens: £2k a week They will have a qualtiy CB trio for years to come.

Ba (and Erdinç) news in the Chronicle. Not surprisingly.

None, thank you.

Aha. Yeah..no. But I prefer to read what people who actually know the players have to say, rather than making a judgement based on FM. How about you, Disco?

I like that. Preferred frisky winger myself. taxfree proper bots this Karlsen chap like. Bots?

Re Barnetta - Tor Kristian Karlsen, the Norwegian scout, shared his view on Barnetta before the World cup: A personal favorite; Tranquillo Barnetta. I even helped to bring the frisky winger to Bayer Leverkusen from St Gallen, and then loaned him in Hanover. Unfortunately the Hannover stay in principal ended after a few weeks when the boy broke the ACL in an unfortunate accident. Although Barnetta has played many good matches, I think the injury put a damper on his career. Had it not been for the injury, he could have played in the Premier League today. Lovely type, loves to challenge, puts in great crosses, infectiously enthusiastic, takes defensive responsibility. Fantastic character as well, top marks throughout.

Good point Sorry, but I just cannot take anything you say about Newcastle seriously.

Good point
