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?

Point being they could might bid a couple of million more than us. Worked for us on Big Vic.

They would (in theory) have £30m+ burning a hole in their pocket.

@TotalDutchFB: Roberto Martinez (#Everton) first choice to replace John Stones is Virgil van Dijk (#Celtic), who costs roughly £10m.

I know the price is premium for British players, but £10m for Chester with a year to go on his contract (in a team that got relegated) is pretty damn high. Then again didn't Norwich bid around £7.5m for Robbie Brady?! I'd guess Chester is an alternative to Virgil van Dijk. Our 4th choice DC will probably be a lot less than £10m

A loan away will do him good - as long as he plays and goes to decent club. MK Don's wouldn't be a bad shout.

It wouldn't be a summer transfer window without an Arsenal director saying how much money they have in the bank.

Agreed. I think he'd suit Bournemouth quite well.

NEW BOYS EYE DJURICIC The Daily Mirror say Premier League new boys Bournemouth and Norwich are both keen on a move for Benfica's Filip Djuricic. The Serbian midfielder, 23, spent time on-loan with Southampton last season
