Rafael and Anderson should be telling him how great Manchester is.

Don't see us making a move for him

Chelsea chief Roman Abramovich has given the go-ahead to launch a stunning £46million January bid for Radamel Falcaohttp://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-transfer-gossip-radamel-falcao-1374924

No. No he hasn't. Because if they spend that kind of money they'll be issued with a "please explain" from UEFA after their extravagant spending last summer.

Man City are reportedly trialling Japanese 18 year old Ishige.

inb4 Viper wank.

Wank? What?

I haven't figured out if he is a player I like to follow.
I don't follow Miyaichi, but follow Kagawa and Nagatomo.
Ishige is high school student while hs plays for Shimizu S-pulse.

City want Saurez in January - reports

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is hoping to prise striker Luis Suarez away from Liverpool in the January transfer window, according to widespread reports.

Mancini hopes the club will back him with a bid for the Uruguay international despite the recent appointment of former Barcelona sporting director Txiki Begiristain to oversee the Premier League champions' transfer policy.

A report in the Daily Express, since picked up by most of England's other national newspapers, claims Mancini wants the 25-year-old despite already having Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Edin Dzeko and Mario Balotelli on his books.

Mancini is under pressure following a poor Champions League campaign which looks destined to end in failure to qualify for the knockout stages for the second successive season.

Backing him with an audacious and sizeable bid for Suarez would be seen as a clear sign that the City hierarchy are fully behind the Italian.

Suarez is on a long-term contract at Anfield, which runs until 2018, meaning City could have to stump up a British record fee to sign him.

He has been in sparkling form for the Reds this season, scoring eight Premier League goals to put him alongside Manchester United's Robin van Persie at the top of the scoring charts.

Liverpool would understandably be unwilling to sell their star man, who is currently their only dedicated striker with Fabio Borini out injured and Andy Carroll on loan at West Ham with little prospect of a return to Merseyside.

Reds manager Brendan Rodgers has called for further investment in the squad at the next available opportunity.

However, Liverpool have previously been persuaded to sell their main striker midway through the season if the price is right, having sold Fernando Torres to Chelsea for £50 million in January 2010.

City are the only side still unbeaten in the Premier League this season but are currently in second place, two points behind Manchester United.

United have scored 29 league goals so far compared with City's 20, while Chelsea, Everton and Fulham have all scored more than the defending champions.

Think it's unlikely but imagine how much chaos would be caused by the clashes of yet more ego's at Citeh :D:D:D

How do people get paid to write shit like that?

Ludicrous. Daily express :lol:

Luis is going nowhere. Luis will NEVER leave to another English club. Quote me.

Never say never imno :-&

I think he'd be more likely to go elsewhere in Europe, but I doubt Rodgers would sell unless he chucks a tantrum or another controversy arises

It obviously won't happen but it would be one of the funniest transfers ever. To see the scousers turn completely and start calling him a racist bastard would be hilarious.

This :D

Wouldn't happen. Not from me.

And he wont go to City. Evereverevereverever.

Funny that, literally hours after ESPN ran that cock and bull story they posted another article quoting Mancini saying he had no intention of signing Suarez as he's perfectly happy with his depth of attacking options.

Like Torres?

Hey, if City wanted to pay us 60m for Suarez I can't say that I'd be complaining.

Pato to Corinthians? That is insane...

He's only got 209 minutes to his name this season. He's behind Pazzini, Bojan, Robinho and El Shawaary in the pecking order. It's definitely time for him to move along.

Demba Ba to Chelsea looks to be on.

Isn't Robinho off back to Santos as well?

Can understand Pato bailing on Milan, but if Brazil is the destination it either says a ton about where the league is going, or he just wanted to be at home and chill.

There's heaps of money in Brazil these days, not surprised at this one bit.

Yeah the money is easy, especially for a club like Corinthians, but at 23 it's a surprising move for Pato IMO.

He signed for Milan when he was 17, since then his career has stalled due to injuries and form and whatnot. He's still young enough that he can return to Brazil and get a 'do over' of sorts.

Carlo Cudicini off to LA Galaxy.

If we get Henry and not Demba Ba or someone else different it's #WengerOut for me.

Demba Ba's proposed move to Chelsea has apparently broken down over wage demands.

Tommaso Rocchi is set to join Inter Milan according to his agent.

Ji Dong-Won has joined Augsburg on loan from Sunderland.

Just as long as you have a solid replacement like Andy Carroll waiting in the wings. ;)

Hey man, Fabio Borini ;) :lol:

There's talk that Joe Cole could be QPR bound.
