SEVILLA OFFER FOR PRAET ‘ridiculous’ Anderlecht president Roger Vanden Stock has described Sevilla’s offer for Belgium playmaker Dennis Praet as “ridiculous”. Sevilla, according to reports in Spain, have tabled a bid of around €6m for the 21-year-old, who won Belgium’s Golden Shoe award earlier this year. Vanden Stock says the youngster, who has been linked with Everton, is ready to try his luck elsewhere but says Sevilla will have to up their offer if they want to land the midfielder. He told Het Nieuwsblad: “What Sevilla offer for the best Belgian player is ridiculous. We want a fair price. Dennis Praet wants to go. The best thing for Praet is to stay for one more year.”

@reluctantnicko: BLACKBURN ROVERS. Can't join the Sam Gallagher race. Southampton want a loan fee. These FFP rules are a joke.

Rumoured, but I don't believe it was true.

Interesting that the normally prudent Jeremy Peace is spending £8m on him. They clearly aren't the only club who think he's worth the money.

No chance with Chambers. Everyone at Arsenal knows he'll develop more on their bench than he would playing for us every week.

SAKO HAVING BAGGIES MEDICAL West Brom are closing in on former Wolves attacking midfielder Bakary Sako, 27, according to Sky sources, with the player currently at the Baggies' training ground undergoing a medical. West Brom boss Tony Pulis almost signed the Mali international in the January transfer window.

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Adebayor, Chiriches & Soldado have not travelled with #THFC to Denver. Neither have Lennon & Townsend... ^ Spurs are going to have to go on a hell of a recruitment drive if they sell all this lot aren't they?

AYEW SIGNS FOR VILLA Aston Villa have signed Lorient striker Jordan Ayew on a five-year deal. The Ghanaian international, brother of new Swansea signing Andre, scored 13 goals in 28 appearances for the French side last season.

I love his transfer updates - That's my new favourite.

Doesn't matter - he's ex-Barcelona which is Stoke's main criteria these days.

AFFELAY'S STOKE MEDICAL Sky sources, Olympiakos midfielder Ibrahim Affelay is having a medical at Stoke City.

Is that happening?!

BENFICA EYE EX-SAINT Benfica will rival Real Betis for the signature of former Southampton striker Dani Osvaldo, reports A Bola. Osvaldo, the Italy international, is available on a free transfer after his contract at St Mary’s was terminated by the Saints earlier this month. The 29-year-old’s agent recently revealed that Betis have been in touch to enquire about signing the Argentina-born hitman, but A Bola says the newly promoted La Liga club will now face competition from Portuguese giants Benfica, who want him to reinforce their attack.

It's not right that I love both the Juanmi & Bertrand songs is it? Quality from Saint Nacho.

To be fair to you -- That was his best game by a mile for us.

Billy Sharp reunited with Nige @ Sheff Utd.

I remember you posting that link too. This article has a quote from him:

They got a great fee for Shane - But then spent nearly all of it on Abel Hernandez

This must be a new record? http://www.sportinastorm.com/Premier-League/Tottenham-Hotspur/Spurs-keeping-tabs-on-new-Saints-target/X1Y80Z1953236?
