Appreciate your efforts CH. The only 'must-read' to keep in the loop throughout the summer

[double pie'n'mash luv]

Great round up, as usual CH. And glad to see that Carlton's possible move to Hull has bumped the Downing/Dorrans news down the page :lol:

[Adie64]

Thanks CH.

[Chicken Run Supreme]

Cheers CH, as always

I posted this on the transfer thread but it is probably more relevant here.

I heard Neil McDonald say on TalkSport last night that all the gossip about Downing was just "paper talk" and that he had no idea where it came from. Now that could be him speaking in code but to me it said WH are not signing Downing.

Is there really any point discussing him with a Liverpool fan, where he will fit into our team or how good he will be at WH when he isn't coming?

Clearly when NM said it was too late for the journos to invent new stories about Downing's agent's sales efforts to drum up interest....

Cheers CH

i head that as well he comes across well

Sergio Agüero thinks about linking up with Lionel Messi.

Luis Suárez has been flapping his gums again. It's the middle of July, there's another eight weeks of this, at least the Mill hopes there's only another eight weeks of this, please don't tell the Mill there's more than another eight weeks of this, the Mill doesn't know what it would do if there was another eight weeks of this, it would probably do nothing actually, it would probably just get on with life but, to return to the original point that has been lost in this somewhat sub-grammatical and winding sentence, you cannot force the Mill to get excited about what Luis Suárez has to say about maybe, possibly, being open to a move to Arsenal or Chelsea. But that's not going to happen, is it, he'll be off to Real Madrid as soon as they can be bothered to cobble together the £40m required to keep Liverpool sweet, which they probably won't get round to doing until the end of August, so everyone sit tight until then.

Christian Benteke is also making the Mill's life difficult. He'll be leaving Aston Villa for a fee of £25m this summer, that's for certain, but he's in no hurry, he quite fancies starring in his very own Transfer Saga first. Chelsea or Tottenham? Tottenham or Chelsea? Chelsea or Tottenham? Tottenham or Chelsea? You see how this can become very boring very quickly. If it was up to the Mill, Benteke would be wedged into a cannon and blasted in the general direction of London with the hope of landing outside either Stamford Bridge or White Hart Lane – but if it's the New Den, though, that's his own bad luck.

Cristiano Ronaldo, of course, is no stranger to the Transfer Saga, having starred in two in the summers of 2008 and 2009. He's up for a third go this summer but Madrid are planning to frustrate Manchester United's plans for a beautiful reunion by handing Ronaldo a fat new contract. United will console themselves by upping their bid for Everton's Leighton Baines, so every cloud.

Sergio Agüero has "told friends" that he wants a move to Barcelona, who are still refusing to sign the four defenders they need to restore their credibility. Manchester City will replace Agüero with Fiorentina's Stevan Jovetic, who never tells his friends anything, the big meanie.

Alan Pardew is furious about Paris Saint-Germain's manager Laurent Blanc going public with his admiration for the Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Kebab. "He can get on the phone to me or make a bid," roared Pards. "I think that's the right way to do it. I think the way it's come out isn't perhaps respectful to Yohan. That's something I want to talk to him about." But what's this from Joe Kinnear's sidekick later in the very same article about Aston Villa's Darren Bent and QPR's Loïc Rémy? "Both of those players are on our list, I make no bones about that," said Pardew, trying and failing to make some butter melt in his mouth. "But they are under contract at other clubs. It's nice for our fans to hear names, but I don't want to disrupt other clubs' preparations." Noble sentiments indeed.

Boing Boing! Chelsea Pensioners! Boing Boing! Having already snapped up Nicolas Anelka, Steve Clarke wants to bring Florent Malouda and Salomon Kalou to West Brom. If they re-hire Roberto Di Matteo, they'll be champions of Europe in 2015.

Arsenal have pitched up outside Loftus Road and they're not going to leave without Júlio César. They're happy to play nice about it, though; they'll give QPR £1.5m for the Brazilian goalkeeper.

Cardiff are poised to sign Tom Ince from Blackpool – you watch, he'll be pictured in the Daily Star wearing a Swansea kit next year – Southampton are close to sealing a remarkably shrewd £12.5m deal for Celtic's Victor Wanyama and Hull are preparing for life in the Championship in the 2014-15 season by lining up Carlton Cole and Conor Sammon on free transfers.
