Thanks for the update, CM. Without knowing your source (I assume you've passed it onto the RoomArrangers/Mods) I can't verify the info but thanks for sharing. You might want to let your friend know that making guesses - however educated - about what will happen is a risky game, but status updates on what is actually going on are always hugely appreciated. A long update with 7 "coulds", 4 "mays" and several "likelys", "not sures" and "perhaps" generally raises eyebrows.
Ta muchly.
So you would rather have adiepf's "done deal"s, "deal struck"s and "flying over today"?
In my opinion, saying a deal is 100% done is much more problematic than could/may/likely.
update from what ive been told:
cudicini - could still go to middlesbrough as pletikosa should be sealed before the deadline. with our 3 keepers being gomes pletikosa and alnwick (as he counts as a homegrown player) however with gomes getting injured were not sure about letting cudicini go.
hutton- interest from both birmingham and sunderland. struggling to agree a fee with both clubs. may go out on loan if we cannot agree a fee to get him off the wage bill. also could be offered to villa in part exchange for young.
naughton and walker- both available for loan many clubs interested. Naughton the more likely to go out on loan as harry is impressed with walker in pre season and training. Will listen to cash offers for naughton tho.
bentley - may also be offered to villa. hughes interested at fulham for a loan deal.
o'hara - unlikely to leave as he wouldn't pass a medical. perhaps may leave on loan but very unlikely. been offered to west ham for parker.
jenas - stoke really want him. jenas would rather stay. may also be offered to villa for young. will only leave if we can get someone in to replace him.
rose - many interested in a loan deal. newcastle and pompey both want him. like jenas will only leave if another midfielder/left sided player comes in
keane - deffo off. he wants to go to celtic. been offered to villa too. newcastle and sunderland interested in loan deals.
gio - attracting lots of interest from abroad. club want to give him one last season however if a good bid comes in he could leave. heard he was also offered as a sweetner in the fabiano deal (on loan)
fabiano - struggling to agree a fee with sevilla at the moment but he could still join as he is very interested to come and harrys 1st choice
parker - west ham don't want to sell but if the price is right he will be a spurs player.
diarra - mourinho has changed his mind and wants to keep him. will only come if we put in a big bid.
muntari - is an alternative for parker and diarra. harry rates him from his pompey days and does not see it as a gamble as he has worked with him before. also been told hes going for a good price and could be one of harry's bargain signings.
young - harry really wants him. cant agree a fee though villa asking stupid money. we have offered around 14 million cash and also offered them cash and player deals involving hutton,jenas and keane. this one could happen on deadline day. will go to the wire.
rossi - being looked at as an alternative to fabiano and hes going for around 8-10 million
KJH - trying to get him on loan with a view to a permanent deal however he looks very likely to join schalke on a permanent deal for around 12 million euros.
n'zogbia - wigan desperate to get rid. he is the back up option. been told we will put in a bid if we cant get our preferred choices. sunderland willing to offer more money than us though.
doubt i will post again this window as i have pestered my source for alot of info tonight! if he tells me anything more will post it guys!
