romelu lukaku in talks with stoke about a loan move,

i've no idea why Stoke even tried as it is against the Prem rules.
A player cant be loaned to another club in the prem during the same transfer window as he arrived
to the prem in.

This wouldve been interesting...to have the Dutch holding midfield. we'd rack up so many yellow cards,

Mark van Bommel has claimed that Manchester City have failed with a fresh bid for his services.

The 34-year-old joined AC Milan in January from Bayern Munich on a short-term deal, and that was renewed by another year this summer.

But Van Bommel has now revealed that City, who wanted him in January, have made a new bid for his services.

"Manchester City first tried to sign me last winter, they were one of the clubs interested in me, so their interest has not come out of the blue," he told Voetbal International.

"But Milan has a very clear position and I am perfectly happy to live with that, my family feels at home here.

"I feel good as a footballer here and feel fully appreciated."

Van Bommel's agent Mino Raiola confirmed that, because of Yaya Toure's likely involvement in the African Cup of Nations later this season, City wanted high-class cover.

"The message of AC Milan was clear. Mark van Bommel is not for sale under any circumstances," Raiola confirmed

"They have the problem that Yaya Toure will spend considerable time out because of the matches for the African Cup.

"In addition, they also know that Mark van Bommel is excellent alongside Nigel de Jong. Hence they came in again for him."

I think only if he played a game for the team he signed for.

Ryan McGivern signed a new contract with us until 2013 and then got sent out on loan to Bristol City,

Manchester City youngster Ryan McGivern has joined Bristol City on loan after seeing a deal at Crystal Palace come to an end.

The defender has spent the last month at Selhurst Park, with his route to the first team firmly blocked at Eastlands.

The Eagles were keen to extend his stay, with Dougie Freedman impressed by the Northern Ireland U21 international.

They have, however, been left disappointed, as McGivern is set to try his luck elsewhere.

anyone else hear the rumours of Dempsey to Arsenal?

Arsenal need to buy world class players soon or they will find themselves struggling for Europe League spots.

nope. heard Dempsey to Spain, Villa, or PSG though.

the Arsenal rumors of late are: Elia (Hamburg, although he looks to sign for Juve), Mertesacker (Werder Bremen), Santos (Fenerbache), Vargas (Fiorentina), Kaka (RM, no chance), Hazard (Lille, won't leave), Cahill (Bolton, not happening if Merte happens), Park (Monaco, already signed), Gotze (Borussia Dortmund, not leaving).

Hazard and Gotze are the most impressive on the list. Arsenal supposedly bid 40m euros for Gotze...cant believe Wenger allowed that.

Aye, on BBC.

KrisCorssen on Twitter: "Apparently James Milner has been allowed to leave the England squad, and has been spotted en route to Melwood training ground, possible?"

I'll be a tad hacked off if this is true.

Balotelli on loan to Newcastle is the latest twitter rumour

To bad Barton left, that could had been interesting.

I think the player that Huddlestone was talking about is either Parker or Benayoun.
