Premier League transfer window - January 2012

[Smokin'J]

I bet you Tevez will be moving to AC Milan. The guys over there are flirting. Also glad to see Henry but with all the experience he has, his body has gotten old. Can't believe they are actually loaning him.

gary cahill and bent to liverpool

hope its not true about bent,another average english player will cost us around 25 mil plus

Don't see why anyone would want Cahill. Especially at his pricetag.

Don't see why anyone would want Cahill. Especially at his pricetag.

7 mil is ok for cahill,i dont think he's great but he's good

chelsea have agreed a price but wont meet his personal demands

cahill has 6 months left on his contract then he's free

robbie keane wanted by aston villa

[dj Calleti]

Absolutely.

Mancini said the other day he would be gone within the next 7-10 days.

I wonder who he will go to.

AC Milan wanted him on loan but Mancini said no and wants to sell but Milan didn't put a high enough bid for him.

I heard Corinthians were going to step in but nothing else, probably a false rumor.

Exclusive: Villa to offer Robbie Keane shock Prem return
Published 22:27 01/01/12 By Alan Nixon

Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish is ready to give Robbie Keane a shock return to the Premier League if he can cut through red tape.

The Republic of Ireland star is taking a break at the end of the MLS season with Los Angeles Galaxy, but McLeish would like to take him on loan for a couple of months.

Keane could be open to the plan to keep himself sharp before heading back to California and building up for the Euro 2012 finals with his country.

However Keane would need clearance from both LA Galaxy and the MLS - plus a big insurance payment - to make the move happen, but it is being explored by Villa

Keane could play for a short spell - as Thierry Henry will do at Arsenal - but there would be a cost for the whole package that Villa will have to weigh up.

McLeish is looking for bargain deals in the window and landing Keane, even for a handful of games, would be a help for him if the numbers are right.

Daniele de Rossi to man city..............

City close on De Rossi swoop
By BEN HUNT
Published: Today

MANCHESTER CITY are set to make Roma star Daniele de Rossi their first signing of the January transfer window.
The midfielder, 28, has been a long-term target of City boss Roberto Mancini, who has made no secret of his desire to capture the Italian international.

Rossi, who has spent his whole career at Roma, is out of contract in the summer and could move for a knock-down fee.

Mancini confirmed his interest in the defensive midfielder and said: "De Rossi is a champion and would be the perfect man for City."

Mancini needs cover while Yaya Toure is on international duty with the Ivory Coast.

Toure could be away for up to six weeks during the African Nations Cup, which runs until the middle of February.

However, the De Rossi deal could hinge on whether wantaway Carlos Tevez is finally sold off.

The Argentine striker has not played for City since falling out with Mancini in September and is poised to join AC Milan.

But City are unwilling to spend until the unhappy star is finally flogged off.
