Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has set aside £42m in a bid to sign Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas. Daily Mirror
Maybe Moratti can set aside some extra funds to bring over Wenger as well.

I’m pretty sure Marauez is more flattered with Tottenham’s interested compared to Wigan.
Liverpool are heading the queue to sign Stoke’s Ryan Shawcross, with Potters boss Tony Pulis eyeing Uruguay defender Mauricio Victorino as a replacement centre-back. caughtoffside.com
Shawcross is just coming into his prime and would be a boost to the Liverpool back line. While he never did play for Manchester Unitd wonder how Liverpool fans would take to Shawcross if this ever did happen?
Manchester City are ready to offer £20m for Porto’s Brazil striker Hulk, real name Givanildo Vieira de Souza, to ease the burden on Carlos Tevez. Daily Mirror
Roberto Mancini would suck the life out of Hulk. Plus Porto won’t sell any of their key players mid season.
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is weighing up a move for Tottenham midfielder David Bentley but faces competition from Everton. Daily Mail
It worked once for Steve Bruce recusing Darren Bent from Tottenham. Couldn’t blame him for taking a flyer on David Bentley.
Everton are monitoring the availability of Porto’s Cristian Rodriguez, nicknamed ‘the onion’ because he has reduced his opponents to tears. The Uruguay midfielder is valued at £7m. talkSPORT
Rodriguez is very good on the ball and would be a good replacement for Steven Pienaar if he does leave. Rodriguez isn’t known for tracking back however.
