I’m sure Belhanda would be out of Liverpool’s price range, given that a lot of people regard him as the best player in Ligue 1 this season, would likely take excess of £20m for him. Liverpool have been linked with Wigan’s Diame on a free transfer, is he any good?
Not really, big brute of a holding midfield player from what i have seen of him, poor mans Papa Bouba Diop
He would be an improvement on Spearing alright , but that’s not saying much. Don’t think he would do much to improve a club with champions league aspirations .
I see Bayern have been linked with a €10 million move for Nuri Sahin in the last few days. If they do manage to sign him along with the sublime Xhedran Shaqiri I will be following their fortunes very closely next season
Looks as though Inter are now the front runners to sign him
Kagawa alledgedly flew to Manchester last night.

Kagawa: departure to Manchester
[font=Arial][size=3]The separation of Shinji Kagawa and Borussia Dortmund appears to be a done deal. [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=3]As was announced on Monday, the strong Japanese dribbling his current contract until 2013 at the Double-winners will definitely not be extended. [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=3]Sporting director Michael Zorc confirmed that BVB will now deal with any offers for Kagawa. [/size][/font][font=Arial][size=3]And this could very soon flutter into the house - Kagawa made on Monday evening on the way to Manchester.[/size][/font]
[size=4][font=Arial]“I had an appointment Monday morning with his advisers - Shinji Kagawa has let them tell us that he will not renew his contract with us definitely,” said Zorc against the Bild newspaper.[/font][/size]
Thus the last spark of hope in the black and yellow in terms of retention was due to a crowd favorite who has brought in all competitions last season as a midfielder on 17 goals and 13 templates expired.The chances of Kagawa his contract expiring in 2013 were still extended, but in any case only located in the lower single digits.
Jan Vertonghen was a guest at White Hart Lane on Sunday according to the mail.
Jan Vertonghen has really impressed me on the handful of times I’ve seen him, I’m very surprised City aren’t interested in recruiting him to partner his international team mate.
“Informed” sources now linking Didier Drogba to FC Barcelona
Kicker is a very reputable source. He’s certainly leaving Dortmund. The bit about him joining United is more speculative in that article.
Arsenal apparently after him as well.
My source in Italy says Lavezzi to PSG and Destro to Inter. Another player interesting Inter is Catania’s Alejandro Gomez, he has also been linked with Atletico Madrid, I would expect Roma to monitor the situation with Montella’s imminent arrival. I think Gomez is a very tidy footballer.
Italian media are claiming Dortmund have bid €6.5m for Atalanta striker Manolo Gabbiadini, this would obviously be a replacement for Barrios.
According to my Italian sources Van Persie is close to agreeing a move to Juve. Neither Robin nor Arsenal want a deal with City but wages yet to be agreed.
Would be a huge coup for Juve to get him
Hamburg have signed Rene Adler on a free transfer, he’s a pretty good keeper isn’t he? Surprised bigger clubs weren’t in for him.
He’s good alright Totti. Germany have a glut of very good keepers around at the moment.
Inter have bought Freddy Guarin from Porto after his loan spell.
Norwich have made an official approach for Liverpool’s Dani Pacheco.
Javi Martinez is being linked with a move from Athletic Bilbao to Bayern Munich.
