Football Rumours

Middlesbrough might have to await the outcome of a legal battle if they try to sign Afonso Alves.

Tottenham's interest in Lyon striker Fred is believed to have cooled

Derby have revealed they have rejected another bid from Maccabi Tel Aviv for Benny Feilhaber.

Werder Bremen's Carlos Alberto is set to seal a six-month loan move to Brazilian side Sao Paulo.

Mourinho to LFC in May – Done deal.

Gordon Strachan feels Celtic may sign only one more player in January.

Hamburg have signed midfielder Anton Putsilo on a year-long loan deal from Dinamo Minsk.

LFC will only sign anyone else in this window if a player leaves. Sissoko to leave to Athletico Madrid or to Marseille in a player swap + cash deal or a first option on a player deal (would involve Nasri or Aguero). Don't think Aguero would happen because Torres and Aguero don't fit too well.
Sissoko + cash may well be offered to Valencia as well to tempt them to part with either Villa or Silva.

FC Barcelona are after Arsenal's Hleb. Wenger wants to keep Hleb at all costs but FC Barcelona will try thier luck with a £20 million pound bid – it's sure to be rejected.

Jason Roberts will move to Derby next week while Paul Jewell will attempt to also bolster his frontline by adding struggling Watford forward, Nathan Ellington. Jewell is confident that Earnshaw and Roberts will make a great Championship forward partnership while Ellington will provide great back up and of course Kenny Miller will be in contention for a starting place.
