Already, my post from yesterday is outdated. Things are moving so dast, Mertesacker is in at Ashburton Grove, Cahill is definitely not.

So with the planet scouring airports, petrol stations, training grounds and Little Chefs up all over, I thought I'd cut my losses and give you a run down of the rumours for lunchtime along with the chances of them actually happening. May my integrity be judged in future days by what is now written...

Other tentative rumours: Mauro Zarate linked with a number of clubs including Liverpool and Villa; Bentley may be used as a makeweight by Spurs, likewise Malouda or even Alex by Chelsea; Joseph Yobo might be on the move; much confusion over James Milner, but I can't see anything happening.

Word is that Stoke boss Tony Pulis is currently abroad, and that Spurs are due to make a big name signing today. Swansea are also said to be active.

Think back to last time, Torres £50m? Carrol £35m? Hold on to your swivel chairs.

I leave you with this hilarious report:

  1. Oh my, I apologise for the formatting. I also missed M'Vila to Arsenal, which I haven't heard much of today but there's still time - 6/10?
