VILLA OPEN LJAJIC TALKS Aston Villa have opened negotiations with Roma over the signing of attacking midfielder Adem Ljajic, according to Sky Italia. Our colleagues in Italy understand the Giallorossi would be willing to let the Serbia international leave, and that a deal could be finalised soon. Roma director of football Walter Sabatini is reportedly in England for negotiations. Ljajic was close to joining Manchester United in 2009 when he was at Partizan Belgrade but United pulled out of the move and the 23-year-old left for Fiorentina a year later. He then signed for Roma in 2013 for £8m but it now looks like he will be on the move again and Villa are front-runners in the race to seal his signature.

I would agree.

Well, he's not made the U-21's squad that's playing this afternoon.

CHERRIES JET OFF FOR DE GUZMAN TALKS We understand representatives from Bournemouth are flying to Naples right now for talks this afternoon over the signing of Napoli midfielder Jonathan De Guzman. The 27-year-old has previous Premier League experience having spent two seasons on loan at Swansea City between 2012 and 2014. It's understood he has a buyout clause around £4.4million although it's not yet clear whether the deal will be a permanent or loan agreement.

Don't think he is - There's been a fair bit of speculation that the new contract QPR want to offer him is worth 60k a week.

ALEX NEIL CONFIRMS GRABBAN BIDS Norwich manager Alex Neil confirmed the club have rejected bids from Bournemouth for striker Lewis Grabban. Speaking ahead of the Tuesday’s Capital One cup tie with Rotherham, the Canaries boss said: ““Yes, we’ve had a few bids for Lewis but they have been rejected. “I’ve not had to sit him down and reassure him. Lewis is a clever boy and he can see how much he has featured under me since I have been here and he is a big part of our plans. “I certainly won’t be giving players to direct rivals. That is the bottom line. He has been a big part of things since I have been here.”

Is it all down to losing Morgan?

Don't think we'll be doing any business with Spurs this window. (In's or outs)

Probably more likely to go for Nir Biton @ Celtic if we need a DMC.

This. More importantly, they are unlikely to offer us anywhere near his asking price anyway.

I assume we decided to bring that in AFTER we signed Osvaldo

I listened to the Les Reed chat with Adam Blackmore on Solent earlier...They only played a little bit of it... "The 1st team squad - we're not going to sell anybody - There are some other players who may go - but they wouldn' be current members of the 1st team squad".

Doesn't the deadline end at 6pm this summer? Disappointing - I love seeing the Orc's at Stoke come out after dark.

or the counter-story... POGBA STAYING AT JUVE Paul Pogba will not be leaving Juventus this summer, according to Sky Italia. The much-sought-after midfielder has been linked with a number of top European clubs but it is thought he will stay in Turin for at least another season after Arturo Vidal’s departure.

CHERRIES MAKE MURRAY BIDE Bournemouth have made an official bid for Crystal Palace striker Glenn Murray. The newly promoted club have been tracking the player for several weeks but Palace are only keen to negotiate if the deal on the table is a permanent one.

SPURS TARGET WANYAMA Sky sources understand Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama is a transfer target for Tottenham. We understand the 24-year-old is keen on working with former boss Mauricio Pochettino again. The Spurs boss brought Wanyama to Southampton from Celtic two years ago for a club record £12m.

Only if we sign Jermaine Wright

Son, I think!
