Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa has undergone a physical at Newcastle while Hooper is almost out the door at Celtic, according to sky sports.

Yep, looking increasingly likely that Hooper will be out the door come the end of January.

Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Haidara, Gouffran, Debuchy al signed by Newcastle this window, along with signings like Cabaye, Cisse, Marveuax, Ben Afra and Amalfitano. Time for them to just move to Ligue 1

I dunno. We've knocked back both of Norwich's bids, and I don't think they have the money to meet what we want. His contract doesn't end till 2014, and he's quite happy here. I don't think it'll be this window.

If you got an offer of 6-7m I think you'd jump at it tbh.

Sky sports saying that Arsenal may make a late bid for David Villa

Don't think it will happen

Brooklyn Beckham follows in father's footsteps with trial at Chelsea
David Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn has had a trial with Chelsea. The 13-year-old trained at Chelsea's Cobham training ground on Tuesday.

The former England captain Beckham is currently without a club after leaving Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of the Major League Soccer season and was pictured on Twitter at the Blues' Surrey training base.

His attendance for the Under-14 fixture at the home of the Champions League winners will undoubtedly lead to speculation Brooklyn is in line to follow in his father's footsteps to play football at the highest level.

Yet David and his wife Victoria would be reluctant to heap pressure on any of their four children. The 37-year-old has enjoyed a successful career with Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy and Milan, while also accumulating 115 England caps.

David also played a prominent role in the delegation sent to Singapore which helped to secure the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games for London. It is still to be determined whether, and where, David will continue his own footballing career.

Luca Becchio has rocked Leeds United by handing in a transfer request.

On the topic of transfer requests, Real Madrid have denied reports that several players have demanded Jose Mourinho's sacking, threatening to hand in transfer requests if he isn't.

Fernando Llorente and Juventus have confirmed that the two parties have come to an agreement on a 4 year deal.

Several newspapers are reporting that Manchester United are closing in on Benfica defender Ezequiel Garay.

No further rumor over Honda....
Only a week left....

Liverpool's attempts to woo Coutinho are dead in the water with the forward saying he intends to fight for his place at San Siro (Gazetta Dello Sport).

The whole Inter-Southampton-Liverpool Coutinho circus is getting tiring.

It gets better today:
"La Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting that Southampton have offered a deal worth in excess of £8.7million for Inter Milan's Philippe Coutinho, but the playmaker would prefer a move to Liverpool, whose bid is said to be in the region of £7.5m."

First Gaston Ramirez, then Forren, and now Coutinho? Liverpool have to do this deal if for nothing else than to save face.

Joey Barton must be one annoying cunt.

He's only been there for 6 months and the whole of France is emigrating to Newcastle.

Ex Real Madrid player having played C and B team regularly and ahving played twice for the full team. Does the signing meaning Mourinho is getting his wish at pushing Iker out? Or that Adan is going?
