Aston Villa defender Curtis Davies will consider his future at the club in January over a contract row. Daily Mirror
Well that went downhill in a hurry considering yesterday it seemed like a contract was all but locked up. Both Aston Villa and Davis would be foolish to go their separate ways. I’m sure in the end everything will be worked out however.
Bayern Munich striker Luca Toni has edged closer to a move to West Ham after refusing to play for the German side’s reserves. Daily Mirror

Liverpool defender Fabio Aurelio has revealed how manager Rafael Benitez erupted with fury like never before after their Champions League defeat to Fiorentina on Tuesday. The Guardian
It was an awful first half. Liverpool were foolish to look ahead to the weekend when they play Chelsea. Still lots of time left in the Champions League to make up for the loss mind you.
