Why would he end up at a club that hasn't made an approach in this window for him??
Good that he snubbed Chelsea, but he won't join Real Madrid with the overload of strikers they currently have. (or if he does, he's a fool)

I want him at Arsenal soooo badly but doubt he'll come

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will start his radical transfer-window surgery with a raid on Newcastle: keeper Shay Given and defenders Steven Taylor and Charles N'Zogbia are all targets. (News of the World)

Everton are close to signing Nigerian striker Odemwingie.

Tottenham are keen on Downing but have ruled out a bid for Defoe.

And Chelsea have hinted that they will be signing a striker in the January tranfer market.

downing to totenham is interesting.
If that happened, it would work. Though they have Lennon already.

In my FM 08 they got Tottenham, got Downing:d

Whilst I wouldn't put too much faith (read: any) in anything printed in the News of the World, it's going to be very interesting to see what happens at Newcastle in January. They've got a chairman who's stated openly that his intention was to run the club as a business, and who has been unable to attract any buyers due to the massive asking price. By bringing in money through sales, and reducing operating costs, he can make the club a far more interesting proposition... Problem is, other clubs know this so he's unlikely to get top money for any of his players - the potential for the club to be raped is plain to see. As a Sunderland fan I'd love to see it happen (as a realist I don't think Ashley is dumb enough to do it with the bottom 3 so close).

Lennon = right wing.
Downing = left wing.

Perfect match.

Glen Johnson to Liverpool.... Cant say I would be upset with that. Ive always rated him

One player i wouldn't be surprised to see transfered in the window is Ajax Striker Luis Suárez
Ive seen him play couple of times this year and he has looked good.
Ajax are playing Den Haag right now and Ajax are up 3-0 now with Suárez setting up all 3 with balls that are pure class he also put in another absolutely class ball that forced a great save from the keeper off the other strikers header
his stats dont look bad either for Ajax. He has been there since August 2007 and in that time has scored 52 goals in 58 appearances
And he is still only 21

If any of Owen/Taylor/N'Zogbia go, Newcaslte will struggle to stay up. If Given goes, Newcastle can start preparing to win promotion in 2010.
Senna to City's been reported for a while now, it looks almost done and dusted.
I don't know whether Johnson to Liverpool would be good or not. It might draw some attention to him for the national team. I'd rather see Ryan Taylor or Rafinha at the club I think.
I can't see Suarez leaving Ajax in this window, nor for anything less than a king's ransom given that Ajax are already losing Huntelaar...

I'm sold :d

Yeah...too bad for those young lads Bentley, Dos Santos and Modric...

ahhhh...Dos Santos and Modric are central players

Then are both capable of playing on the left. And they won't see much game-time given that as VC, Jenas gets first preference in the AM position...

Club whore Jose Antonio Reyes has made 'permanent' his move to Benfica for a fee of £7.5million.

Parker and Bellamy for 15.
I doubt it
they'll need bout 20

Bent i could see going to villa

Personally I'd say that 15 is enough but West Ham will want 20

thats what i mean
yeah i'd rate them bout 15
though they won't be allowed to go for less than 20 i think

I dont' know that Parker would be any use to Man City anyway. They've already got an oversupply of MCs, they need someone with stand-out ability, not another team player. Although, they could be trying the opposite path to what Chelsea did...
