No Chinners this morning so a quick copy and paste from auntie Beeb!

Spain striker Fernando Torres has told Liverpool that he will not discuss his future until after he has had a holiday following the World Cup. Torres is wanted by Chelsea, Manchester City and Barcelona - although no official bids have been made.
The Sun

BC says (He's leaving, just a question of where. No way a buyer for the club will come in before the end of the transfer window)

Arsenal are ready to pay £20m for German playmaker Mesut Ozil, having trailed the 21-year-old for months. Ozil has one year left on his contract at Werder Bremen.
Daily Star

BC says ( Bargain. C'mon City finger out time)

Manchester City have been linked with a £16.5m move for Cologne's Germany forward Lukas Podolski.
Daily Mail

BC says ( Would be nice to have two world cup winners in the team !)

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is lining up a £13m move for FC Twente winger Bryan Ruiz.
Daily Mirror

BC Says ( Guess this confirms that Torres is gone)

Manchester United have made discreet enquiries about the possibility of signing Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, who they were keen on recruiting before he moved to Spain from French side Lyon.
Full story: Daily Mirror

BC says ( Discreet means, hello can we have Benzema for nowt cos we have no money!)

Sunderland are exploring the possibility of a season-long loan deal for Ghana's young striker Dominic Adiyiah, who is at AC Milan.
Full story: Daily Mail

BC says ( Aahh Sunderland wary of falling for the old World Cup performance of a lifetime then go back to sleep scenario)

Portsmouth left-back Lenny Sowah has rejected a move to Wigan in favour of a switch to German side Hamburg.
Full story: Daily Mirror
BC says ( Hmmm Wigan or Hamburg Wigan or Hamburg... I know Wig.....er actually fuck it Hamburg)

West Ham are expecting a bid from Aston Villa for Scott Parker. The Hammers are bracing themselves for the move when Villa midfielder James Milner makes his expected £25m switch to Manchester City.
Full story: The Sun

BC Says ( Dont hold your breath. City should walk away from this before it gets silly. Milner is bad value above £20m)

Villa manager Martin O'Neill, who accepts he is fighting a losing battle to keep Milner, is ready to strike a £30m deal with City for the England international. He wants £15m and Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha in return.

Full story: Daily Star

BC says ( Fuck off O'Neil. If Milner is worth 30, Ned is worth 12 and Superman at least the same. Milner is not worth it. Walk away Marwood)


Celtic manager Neil Lennon has held fresh talks with Robbie Keane about a possible loan return for the Spurs striker. (Various)
Celtic have opened talks with Scunthorpe over a £2m deal for striker Gary Hooper. (Scottish Daily Mail)
BC doesn't care

OTHER GOSSIP

Full story: Daily Mirror
Injured onlooker Michael Ballack has been ousted from the Germany's World Cup camp after a big rift with current captain Philipp Lahm, who insists he will not give the armband back to the former Chelsea star when he is fit again. The midfielder joined up with the squad last week to act as a cheerleader - but will not be present for the semi-final against Spain.
Full story: The Sun
England Under-21 defender Dan Gosling has walked out on Everton for nothing because the club failed to put a new contract offer to him in writing. Everton made a verbal offer to Gosling but the Premier League sided with the player because of the club's administrative error.
Full story: Daily Mirror
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Uruguayan World Cup star Diego Forlan - who left Old Trafford in 2004 after an unsuccessful spell - could have been a Red Devils hero and the club sold him too cheaply. Full story: Daily Mirror
France captain Patrice Evra has been ¬handed a month off by his Manchester United manager Sir Alex ¬Ferguson to help him recover from his World Cup nightmare and marathon season - one more week than other United players who starred in South Africa.
Full story: Daily Star

Full story: The Guardian
AND FINALLY
American space agency Nasa has joined in the criticism of the Jabulani World Cup ball. Aerodynamic experts from Nasa's Ames Investigation Centre stated the ¬Jabulani becomes unpredictable at speeds above 44 mph and also blamed the ball's light weight of only 440g for its poor flight and lack of ¬consistency - known as the 'knuckle effect'.
Full story: Daily Mirror

Yyyynnggghhh...... although I shouldn't probably say anything about Podolski, being a MOD and all. In fact, I just wait to see what majority think about him. Majority are always right.

Complete lie. He left because he needs further treatment on his injury which he cannot get in South Africa.

There is no big rift.

A pic of Stephen Hawkins would've been more appropriate.

Lukasz "GERMAN?!" Podolski would've been a cracking signing 18 months ago. We're doing a bit better than that now and he'd be squad fodder/Europa starter at best. That said, he is one of those players that I've always wanted to see have a crack at the PL and I admire his out-left-or-right-up-top versatility. I'd be happy if he came.

Podolski is fucking ace.
he'd be starting on the left of a midfield 5 for me.

Podolski is good for Germany.....in club football he is godawfull. And I don't mean "not really that good" but completely shite.

tis true
he hasn't mustered much since he left cologne the first time - absolute disaster at Bayern Munich

I wish we would stop all this nonsense and sign Dzeko

We were linked with Pod last year, or was it the year before? Old agent talk.

I honestly think our striker signing is waiting for the Torres situation. If he says 'no' then it will be Dzeko, except that I'm not really sure where we stand wrt Ibrahimovic. He may be number 2 on the list.
