It appears Everton have hijacked the Traore to West Ham deal and now have him on loan til the end of the season. He had even had a physical at West Ham

Hate he never really got a shot but glad to see someone at the club realizes we don't need 200 midfielders.

Just swap Mata for Rooney so we don't have to hear about it for the next few months.


ETA: Looks like Man United and Celtic are interested in the Romanian Dorian Rotariu.

United already denied it.

Wouldn't make sense for Chelsea anyways.

There's seemingly a rumor of a huge ManU bid for every good midfielder in Europe recently.

Speaking on midfielders moving: it seems possible that Guarin may move to Juve in exchange for Vucinic.

I'm always skeptical of "trade" type rumors but Juve's serious interest in Guarin seems real and that fuels a lot of speculation about whether they may sell Marchisio (who's been linked to ManU for a while) or maybe even cash in on Pogba this summer.

I read that Vucinic has already completed his medical at Inter. Don't know much about either player but I don't see why Juve would buy another midfielder unless they planned on getting rid of one, so I wonder who will be the one to go, if they do decide to get rid of one.

Yeah, I think it means someone is going to be sold. They were trying to buy Nainggolan this summer as well.


Marchisio has already expressed concern about playing time even before this signing but I think Juve is reluctant to sell him since he's a homegrown player and fan favorite. It's why the EPL link is strong with Marchisio as he likely wouldn't want to go to another Italian club.

Vidal seems the more likely to stay for now.

It may well mean that they sell Pogba this summer since it's likely that PSG would pay an absurd amount in the biddin war that would ensue and maybe include Verratti as well. .

PSG is also hot on Pjanic's tracks and I wouldn't be surprised to see Roma sell him this summer if PSG overpays since Sabatini seems nothing but confident that he can turn those kind of deals into 2 or 3 star players in place of one.


Another midfielder that's garnering a lot of ManU rumors in Italy is Lazio's Hernanes. He's up and down recently but would seemingly be an improvement for them and he seems certain to leave Lazio soon.

if David Moyes really looks at that squad and thinks forcing another out of form no 10 into the lineup is the answer...

there's so many legitimate holes in that lineup. guess there isn't really a top CM or CB available.

the prophet has been linked to many an EPL move (including to arsenal many a time). he's probably the player who's been most linked to arsenal over the course of my fandom

I guess that's my way of saying I'll believe he's moving when I see it

Dante to Manchester United seems likely. Not sure if its a winter or summer move. Would be weird if it was this window. There have been rumors about it and when asked, he responded:

"Am I a Man Utd player? Not yet. I'm at Bayern, and I appreciate Utd's interest. But let's see what happens at the end of this month"

Wouldn't surprise me.

Still being linked to Cavani, too. Not exactly a need.

Would prefer a younger CB, but he'd definitely be a boost. Not gonna complain.

He was a top 3 or 5 center back in all of Europe last year. Definitely nothing to complain about.

would be a solid January move, though that seems unlikely. makes less sense in the summer (kinda like Villa to Arsenal last year).

would be hilarious though if a striker, a no 10 and a 30+ yo CB was ManU's business this window.
