Fox Sports,

West Brom wants to beat QPR and Everton to Man City defender Nedum Onuoha after missing out on his team-mate Dedryck Boyata.

Celtic target Craig Bellamy last night took a step closer to making a shock return to Liverpool after Man City agreed to let him go for nothing.

Skysports.com understands Queens Park Rangers are leading the chase for Shaun Wright-Phillips, with a deal having been agreed.

The winger has slipped down the pecking order at Manchester City and is looking to find regular football away from Eastlands.

Unsurprisingly, a number of clubs have shown an interest in the England international.

Sky Sports sources reported on Friday that the race for his signature was hotting up, with QPR and Stoke having tabled bids.

It is now believed that Neil Warnock's side have edged in front of the Potters, with productive transfer talks having been held.

It is understood that an agreement has been reached, with Wright-Phillips prepared to link up with the Premier League new boys.

Should he sign, he will be reunited with former City team-mate Joey Barton at Loftus Road, with the midfielder having penned a four-year contract with QPR on Friday.

Fox Sports,

Roberti Mancini wants to splash the cash and offer £25million for Roma midfielder Daniele de Rossi.

I hope this ^ isnt true.

Spurs are set to sign Craig Bellamy from Manchester City.

this is new....

ESPN,

Sunday Express is reporting that Manchester City are going to launch a £25 million bid for Daniele de Rossi, who has been with the Giallorossi his entire professional career.

[avoidconfusion]

I really cannot see any truth in us spending more money this window and getting De Rossi... superb signing don't get me wrong but I think now is the time to stop with the tinkering. I feel we have a complete midfield unless there is something going on in the background (more to the issues with De Jong's contract extension than we believed?) I really cannot see us spend money on a player like De Rossi who would certainly replace Milner/de Jong/ Barry

Weiss is not the only City player on his way out of the club on loan, with highly-rated goalkeeper Karius to join Mainz in Germany until December.

The 18-year-old is under contract with City until next summer but has yet to make the breakthrough into the first team and will now have a chance to press for more regular action in the Bundesliga.

"Loris Karius is one of the most talented goalkeepers of Germany," Mainz general manager Christian Heidel told his club's official website.

"We have been monitoring him for a while and when we met he left a very good impression on us.

"We have put up a loan arrangement with Manchester City in the meantime and I feel this loan is a win-win situation for us as a club as well as for the player."

Skysports.com understands a host of clubs are ready to test Manchester City's resolve to keep Adam Johnson past this Wednesday's transfer deadline.

With Samir Nasri's move confirmed last week, Johnson could well be pushed down the pecking order - despite the fact Roberto Mancini is a confirmed admirer of the England winger.

Johnson himself has insisted that he is happy at the Etihad Stadium, but he knows his international chances could be hampered by a lack of first-team football.

Now a battle to try and land Johnson is set to ensue, with top clubs from England, Italy and Spain all ready to try and convince City to sell.

City will now ponder their position over the coming days, but Johnson's desire for regular football could see them allow him to leave just over 18 months after he joined from Middlesbrough.

I don't want to see Arsenal crumble and at this point I can see it happening to an extent no-one would have believed possible two years ago. They aren't the next Leeds, they have a good financial base however they are stunted by the arrogance of a manager who believes so much in his own magnificence that he is willing to let the club suffer to prove himself right. And the myth of his so-called genius to spot talent and turn them into world class players is complete and utter bullshit. He drafts a wide net with young players and discards a ridiculous amount of young hopefuls who didn't make the grade, this is not genius, it's basic statistical math.

Davide Santon having a medical at Newcastle.Nice move by Newcastle, from what i have seen of him in the past he looks a very promising player.
