Yoink.

Wolves sign a fourth choice keeper (Adrian Basso). Better to be safe than sorry I guess.

Henry Winter is quite good but he just "tweeted" this:

In fairness, he does not come out with stupid talk and most the things he says are accurate.

Totally agree. Just thought he might have jumped the gun a bit.

It's a loan deal so my guess would be May.

Feels like a new signing but Enrique is expected to sign a new contract with us. Delighted.

Hmmm?

The Beeb just reported it too


Mirror Football on Twitter: "Not saying he needs to be somewhere in a hurry, but Torres has left Melwood by helicopter."

Liverpool are set to make an increased offer for Torres according to @nufcfans via Twitter.

£35 million is the figure being mentioned.

Mirror football again:

Well, if Torres did leave in a helicopter - as we were previously told on good authority - he came back quick. Just left in a car lfc

For anyone interested

Shearer's fee to newcastle in equivilent to todays money:£39m, and £22m to Blackburn in 1992

Are you sure about that 22m? Blackburn only paid 3.6 million for Shearer in '92 and sold him for 15 million.

22m sounds a bit high. Means the fee went up about 700% in inflation.

City linked with Jan Vertonghen.

Yes, as cover for the injured Adam Johnson.

Not really.... Where would he be played (if at all!)?

Eurosport:
As a couple of you have hinted, Liverpool could move for Shaun Wright-Phillips if Larsson signs for Manchester City.

From an Irish perspective are we keeping an eye on Sammon, Given and Westwood.... anyone else?

On the wing. AJ is out for three months and SWP is shit.

I've seen a bid rejected for Sammon today, haven't heard much about the other 2 though.

Quiz question in a few years time, Name the only striker in Spain who 'arry didnt bid for in Jan '11?, a bit embarrassing at this stage.

Some actual concrete news: Sergio Aguero has inked a new deal with Atletico Madriod and is not going to Tottenham Hotspur or anywhere else. "I'm staying because I want to," he is reported to have said. So now we know ...

There is absolutely no chance that we have made all the bids that we have been credited with/accused of in the last 24 hours.

Have to agree we made a bid for Rossi a few weeks ago and he signed a new contract that was the end of that we definetly did not try to sign Aguero the whole reason we didn't sign Suarez was he wasnt a lone front man, Llorente I don't know maybe?

Today is shaping up to be a quite ridiculous transfer deadline day.

SSN are saying their sources at Chelsea say Torres is to arrive at Cobham in the next half hour. Chelsea Chief Executive just arrived too.

Liverpool have offered Newcastle more for Carroll than Barcelona paid Valencia for David Villa this summer.

BBC Lincolnshire report that 20-year-old Gunners defender Gavin Hoyte has extended his loan deal at Lincoln until the end of the season. You can pick yourselves up off the floor now...
