Emmanuel Adebayor has revealed Manchester City have agreed a loan deal with Juventus that will see the out-of-favour striker leave for Italy in January. Metro
I’m sure Manchester City love the fact Adebayor let the cat out of the bag a month early. If this does happen Adebayor would be a decent replacement for the injured Amauri.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has ruled out a January move for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema. talksport
More than likely Real Madrid ruled it out.
Spurs boss Redknapp is interested in Wigan winger Charles N’Zogbia though and is hoping to pip Marseille to the signing of the Frenchman. Metro
I know few people care about Wigan but why isn’t Roberto Martinez under more heat? He was suppose to do the job Owen Coyle is now doing with Bolton. With only 10 goals in 14 games Wigan can’t score like Martinez promised or defend.
Birmingham manager Alex McLeish fears Chelsea are plotting raids for Blues central defenders Roger Johnson and Scott Dann. Metro
Roger Johnson is a lifelong Chelsea fan so I’m sure he would jump at the chance to join the Blues.
Barcelona will move for Manchester City right-back Micah Richards should Brazilian defender Dani Alves leave the Nou Camp. talksport
Even if it’s false Micah Richards must be pretty happy reading this.
Manchester United midfielder Anderson is a target for Greek champions Panathinaikos. InsideFutbol
On the other hand Anderson must be depressed reading this.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is reportedly interested in signing Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Danny. imscouting
I’d like to see this happen for biased reasons but can’t see Danny at the top of Manchester United’s wish list. He did tear Manchester United apart in the Super Cup two years ago.
Everton target Yannick Djalo says he is interested in joining the Toffees from Sporting Lisbon in January but only if it is for the good of the Portuguese club. Daily Mirror
Djalo turned down a move to France this summer so there is truth to what he is saying.
Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier could be lining up a move for Brazilian midfielder Juninho, 35, who played for the Frenchman at Lyon. Daily Mirror
Maybe this would make sense if they could sub Juninho to take free kicks but he doesn’t have the legs to handle English football.
Chelsea’s stars fear for the future of manager Carlo Ancelotti who they feel is being seriously undermined. the Sun
If Mourinho cared I’m sure he’d be smiling. Ancelotti isn’t leaving but if he did it would be two top managers Chelsea forced out. No idea why they cut the legs under Ancelotti when everything was going smoothly.

I think Wigan are ‘almost’ good. They have some nice passages of play. Outplayed Man Yoo until the sendings off. Think it’s a matter of quality players here and there in that side…the tactics are good, individual errors need to be ironed out.
