Apparently Juventus have matched our bid for Dzeko this weekend - but we're meeting the player's agent Irfan Redzepagic tomorrow to try and close the deal. Just what I heard... ;-)

Real Sociedad are meeting City this week to see if they can reach any agreement over Jo, although they want to pay less than half of what we want (which cant be much).

Not only Balotelli's agent but also Ibrahimovic (and others we are linked with?). However he's supposed to be coming to England this week to meet us and SCUM to get the best deal for Balotelli. Wonder who will offer the best terms?

Inter striker Mario Balotelli is set to flee from the club and join either Manchester City or Manchester United as his agent Mino Raiola heads to England to meet directors of both clubs.

Il Corriere dello Sport reports Raiola will listen to both clubs as they make their pitch for the Italian striker. And whichever offers the best package for his client will have to shell out €40 million to sign him from the treble champions.

The Nerazzurri will be prepared to sell their hitman for such a fee and Raiola's English meeting is likely to accelerate a deal. Inter will then turn their focus to Edinson Cavani of Palermo or Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt, but the Dutchman recently claimed he was happy at Anfield, whereas the Rosanero have said they will not sell their striker to Inter.

Meanwhile, negotiations for Maicon are still turned off as Real struggle to up their €25m offer - considered €10m too little by Inter president Massimo Moratti.

Jose Mourinho is eager to sign the Brazilian, but he needs to obtain permission from Florentino Perez before offering his former club more cash for the transfer. If the deal collapses then Inter will keep the stopper and offer him a new deal including a wage increase

If Balotelli wants to play all the time, as the media reports I've seen are suggesting, how can we sign him? He's a talented mentalist who could have the ability to become a great player but to entrust him to a title challenging forward line as pretty much 1st choice?

Surely we cant do that & neither can the rags? He's mad as a box of frogs.
