Will be very interesting to see how their midfield takes shape next season, you would feel that he is most likely to take the place of Xabi Alonso, with Khedira doing the spade work and Ozil playing the more advanced role of the central three
Paul Lambert’s second signing is in the bag.
Matt Lowton from Sheffield United. An attacking right back the reports tell us. Any Blades fans care to comment?
Hopefully thats the end of Hutton at the club.
Sheffield Utd are in the third tier aren’t they? Not a huge amount to be getting excited by that.
Yeah, once their star striker was jailed for rape the wheels came off their promotion push.
Doesn’t leave much room for Sahin who should be looking to move on.
Ji Sung Park joining QPR from United for £5m
That’s a surprisingly high fee. Useful player in his day but definitely in decline. Could be the start of a clear out at Man Utd. Berbatov almost certain to leave, Anderson will be sold if a decent offer is received and still rumours that Ferdinand could leave this summer.
Xabi is coming home!

Real offered Sahin to Spurs in part exchange for Modric. Sahin not interested in the move.
Don’t know how true it is but Gaston Ramirez to Liverpool is picking up legs. 19m euros being touted.
Great signing for Bayern Munchen. They will be a force again next season.
Also, really impressed with the rumoured signings and indeed singings for Juventus…
Bruno Alves, Balotelli (rumoured)
Asamoah, Isla (confirmed)
Terrific. 
The usually reliable Ducan Jenkins is saying talks have begun but nothing done.
We are slowly becoming the Uruguayan national team.
Lille have signed Chelsea’s Solomon Kalou on a free transfer
Ramirez deal still being touted on cyber space. 16m euros would be decent business.
FourFourTom @FourFourTom According to @juliocesargard, Gaston Ramirez has signed for Liverpool for €16mil.
Transfer Clockwatch @TransferClock Gaston Ramirez has signed for Liverpool for an undisclosed fee, transfer will be confirmed tomorrow. #LFC
Juve have completed the signing of Lucio on a free transfer. Meanwhile Napoli are close to signing both Armero and Cuadrado from Udinese in a €10m co-ownership deal (two excellent acquisitions - Armero in particular). They are also been strongly linked with moves for Gary Medel of Sevilla and Gamberini of Fiorentina. Pazzini looks set to leave Inter, no real strong links yet but I’d prefer if he moved to a big Italian club but would expect him to head off to one of the mid-tier clubs (Fiorentina, Lazio) or maybe even a marquee signing for the likes of Sampdoria or Torino. Lazio’s move for Yilmaz looks to have fallen through.
Roma forward Fabio Borini is expected to become Brendan Rodgers’ first signing as Liverpool manager.
The 21-year-old Italy international worked with Rodgers at the Chelsea academy and on loan at Swansea.
Talks between the parties are ongoing and although the deal has yet to be agreed, the potential fee is likely to be in the region of £8m.
On Monday Rodgers had stated that he was close to making an “exciting” signing.
“We hope to complete a deal this week which will be a real exciting one for the club,” he said.
"He will be terrific, I’m sure. And the supporters will absolutely love him.
“Going forward hopefully we can bring maybe two or three more and then with the group of players that I already have it’ll bode really well for us and provide us hopefully with that strength in the group to challenge in every competition.”
Rodgers has admired Borini since the Italian scored scored six goals in just nine Championship appearances while with Swansea towards the end of the 2010-11 season.
The former Parma forward has one international cap and was part of the Italy squad that finished runners-up at Euro 2012.
One player who chose not to move to Anfield was new Tottenham midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.
But Rodgers admitted that it was his reluctance to up Liverpool’s financial package to match a more lucrative deal being offered by Spurs that meant the player moved elsewhere.
“We didn’t lose out because of not wanting to spend the money [on wages],” he added.
"We lost out because the manager wasn’t prepared to move on it. There’s no doubt there’ll be other targets and other people that we need to look to bring in.
“But we won’t lose out on wages. If we feel there’s a player out there in the market whose value and worth can add value to what we’re doing here then we’ll do everything we can to bring them in.”
However, Rodgers did admit he does not possess endless transfer funds.
“We don’t have a wheelbarrow load of money, there is not the money flying about people think there is,” he added. "There certainly won’t be as many signings as is being labelled out there.
“We want to work with the great players we have here and make three or four tweaks in relation to the squad that can help the group. We want to be competitive in every game and challenging at the top end.”
I cannot see us lettin Borini leave - especially for that fee. Sounds like utter bullshit.
Borini would be a brilliant signing for us but I hope we don’t lose him at the same time.
Hilarious article. I think there is substance to the rumour but clearly Roma aren’t going to sell him for less than they just bought him for. Clearly just a made-up fee for the article.
United being linked again with a 16 million pound move for Leighton Baines. Crazy money
