Clyde 1, the same radio station that brodcast that Celtic had signed Steven Fletcher, Scott Brown was going to sign for Rangers, John Utaka to replace Kris Boyd, Boruc to Milan, McGeady to Bayern. lets just say they have there fair share of dodgy stories, and anyway what they said was Rangers were to be bought over to clear the debt by a consortium based in florida and them sold onto a fans consortium, no mention of redevelopment at all lmao, Now Celtic prepairing a bid for french striker Olivier Giroud, Mowbray was in france last night to watch him play, also McManus is Going to Sheffield united as part of a deal to sign Matthew Kilgallon, Gary Caldwell to Newcastle pmsl, Paul Caddis to be sold on a similar deal Celtic got Marc Crosas on i.e Celtic have first refusal on him after a certain amount of years, TomtheTim
I have heard some interesting news this evening from none other than RF Martin Ferguson (MAN UTD SCOUT) was at the Sporting v Benfica game casting his eyes over Di Maria of Benfica and Rui Patricio and Adrien of Sporting. Although Utd have been long term admirers of Rui Patricio the other 2 may be a little less known, apart from the performance of Di Maria against Everton i can't imagine there has been as much interest as there may be now. These are likely targets for the end of the season as Sir Alex is not looking to do too much business in January I do have it however, on good authority that Welbeck will be allowed to go out on loan to either Wigan or Birmingham to gain some much needed first team experience (certainly one for the future) and Carrick may be used in a deal to either tempt Villa for Ashley Young or Tottenham for Luka Modric. I remind you i am not the source i am just the messenger Don't shoot me!
If anyone was listing to clyde 1 super score board they might well of heard about rangers within the next couple of weeks there will be a offer for Rangers from an American based rangers fans and they will start a fresh with rangers redevelop the stadium and murry park they will also bring through quality young players from a redeveloped murry park they will not be buying big name players there is also going to be a new managment team and the board will be elected every 3 years god or bad who knows
Valencia have claimed they are ready to sell David Villa. They claim that they this is how desperate they are for money and will listen to offers. David Villa was quoted in a spanish newspaper about a month ago saying that if he leaves Valencia he would prefer United over Chelsea. This has alerted SAF and he will make a take it or leave it bid of between £40m and £45m for Villa. If Valencia accepts and Villa comes then SAF will listen to bids from Barcelona/Real Madrid for Wayne Rooney. If a bid is accepted and Rooney wants to leave then Villa will replace Rooney. If Barcalona are gonna pay £85m for Rooney liked they claimed they would then some of the money will be spent. SAF will also try for Silva as he would be a great replacement for Ryan Giggs who plans on going to Cardiff City to finish his football career at the end of this season. Silva/Villa will find it easier to settle in at Old Trafford if both players joined. SAF is also looking for a GK to replace VDS in the long term future and either Akinfeev or Adler are the main targets. United are also looking for a replacement for when Scholes retires. SAF has been monitoring Yoann Gourcuff for the replacement but Darren Fletcher has impressed SAF so far this season so he may not need a replacement for Scholes as they also have Anderson & Carrick that play in that position.
Liverpool FC will struggle to sign anyone this season because of the money problem. Torres will not be leaving unless and insane amount of money is offered from a team in La Liga. Steven Gerrard will be going no where. City may be interested but Gerrard is not interested in City.
Arsenal have been told by Arshavin that they must spend big if they are to stay in contention for the league this season. Haven't got any information on who they're after but I can guess they would be looking at players to replace those that'll be leaving for the Africa tournament coming up.
Chelsea and City are both interested in Ribery. Mark Hughes has been in contact with the Bayern Munich and has been given permission to talk to Ribery. Chelsea also interested in Aguero but Aguro has stated he will not be leaving Athletico this season.

Everton unlikely to have much money in January, Moyes might look to Lower Leagues to tryy an bolster targets. With the lack of funds realistic targets Lallana (So'ton), Hammill (Barnsley could be a great signing but exliverpool so may not want to sign for blue half of merseyside), Smithies (Huddersfield), Dos Santos and Hutton (Spurs)
Latest Rumours from my agent:
Chelsea are looking at Patrick Viera, Aguero, Ribery and Van Nistlerooy. Liverpool will have a tiny budget in Jan maybe 510m and even sales won't boost the budget. Summer Budget is around 10m. Barcelona will sign Robinho on Loan and Portsmouth interested in Pavylchenko. Over and Out Gary J
Liverpool rumour, babel wants to leave hence him walking off after being "injured" as he doesn't want to get injured as it would rule out a possible move. Although benitez doesn't want to sell him as he will look to him to help dutch loans, RVN and possibly Drenthe.
Timmy o toole from down the well
David Moyes will quit Everton if he can't turn their fortunes by Christmas. He's sick of what he feels is a lack of support from Bill Kenright and also some EFC fans. The players also losing faith in the manager. The merseyside derby will be a defining moment in either managers future.
Tim Cahill and Leighton Baines to join Aston Villa for £18 million plus Nigel ReoCoker and Nicky Shorey in January.
Liverpool will sign Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Patrick Vieira on short term deals. Man City will offer £20 million for Benayoun in January, Rafa may just accept and buy a young World Class striker/winger with the money.

Man United will sign Jack Rodwell for initial £10 million plus addons (fee could be upto £20mil). They will loan him back till the end of the season. Gary Neville, Michael Carrick, Anderson and Owen Hargreaves all to be sacraficed in the summer.
Andy Dorman will be a Jack in January ITK.
Spurs Rumours
Spurs looking at Vargas, Micah Richards, Hulk, Dzeko, Sandro, Viera and Melvin (the Honduras guy), but will probably only get Melvin after the World Cup and Richards. Leaving will be Pav to Liverpool.
Liverpool have £12m to spend in January. Ryan Babel will leave for £8m and Andrea Dossena and Andriy Voronin will leave for £5m and £3m respectively to make the total £28m. Rafa will buy Goran Pandev for £3m, Adam Johnson for £4m and Marouane Chamakh for £3m. The last £18m will be spent on Alan Dzagoev.
In the summer, Rafa will sell Javier Mascherano for £30m, Philipp Degen for £3m, Martin Skrtel for £12m, Lucas for £15m, Albert Riera for £15m and Sotiris Kyirgiakos for £5m That will give Rafa a total spending of £100m, including the promised £20m he gets every summer. He will splash the cash on Juan Vargas for £20m, Jeremy Toulalan for £24m, Bastian Schweinsteiger for £20m, Per Mertesacker for £16m and the rest of the £20m will be spent on contract renewals and pay rises.
Future is bright for Liverpool =]
