Chelsea are willing to listen to offers of around £30m for Fernando Torres as they look to raise money for their top three targets Cheike Tiote,Edison Cavani and Hulk. Raul Meireles,Jose Bosingwa,Florent Malouda,Saloman Kalou and Yossi Benayoun could all leave the club this Summer while Didier Drogba and Real Madrid target Michael Essien's futures are still very much up in the air.

Definite transfer discussions or enquiries have happened withe the following players / clubs :
Arteta - Liverpool FC
G.Johnson - Arsenal
Van Wolfswinkel - Arsenal
Hoilett - Liverpool
Van Persie - Man City

Arteta to Liverpool? Glenn Johnson to Arsenal?
Why would we get rid of Van Persie and replace him with Van Wolfswinkel?
Why sign Johnson when we have the best right back in the league?
Why sell Arteta?

ED WHAT,S HAPPENED TO MAXIMUS ?has he jumped off tower after yesterday,s result ? {Ed001's Note - he is just having a nice quiet cry in the corner.... I think he is getting worried that the nice orange kit is being changed to blue in readiness for a Rangers takeover so they can get into English football. Apparently he heard they had bought a minnow from the English leagues....
Ed003 is going to kill me when he sees this!}

Silly foul by southern , rules are rules and deserved to go, blackpool were better side with ten men and got good point in end .. no crying . no jumpin from tower ..

Interesting game to come on saturday when Argyle go to Swindon! Town could clinch promotion with a win, while Argyle would be certain of staying up if we win. A big away following should help create a great atmosphere, cant waitCOYG Bryher Pilgrim

Note that Wiltshire old bil have dictated that this game is all ticket, so dont travel without one!

Play off's or not, Luton Town's new manager Paul Buckle will off load at least 20 players from Luton's 40 first team squad.

He will recruit many of 'his' ex players from Torquay and Bristol Rovers and bring in some other targets he has been looking at for some time.
