ITK?

^ What Charlie said Get French Football ‏@GFN_France Idrissa Gueye has passed a medical with Aston Villa and agreed a 4 year contract. Now he is waiting for a work permit, according to RMC.

Bet Spurs wish Harry stayed @ QPR last season and kept them up. He'd have happily swooped for all the players Spurs want out

^ If all these recent stories are true, we can certainly start crossing off some of the defensive midfielder names we've been linked to this summer.

Get French Football ‏@GFN_France SM Caen confirm they will reach an agreement with Leicester City to sell them Ngolo Kanté in the coming hours. Player yet to agree terms.

I could certainly see them being in for the midfielder that the article mentions - We know Poch team's revolve around the 2 screening midfielder's. As far as Toby is concerned - He's better than pretty much all their current defenders. I would imagine they'd sell 2 of those centre-back's too.

BREAKING NEWS QPR have rejected a bid of £12m from Leicester for striker Charlie Austin, according to Sky sources. It is thought QPR will not let the striker leave for less than £15m.

I know (but I forgot he was at City) Crazy how downhill his career went.

Very much! - I literally forgot that he was there. It's like the Bermuda Triangle for Home Grown players up there.

I suppose it entirely depends on how many options he has - But I'd imagine staying in this country isn't his 1st choice. Could see him fancying a move to Turkey. I'm sure that despite his many problems & being a free agent, he won't have any problems finding suitors.

^ More on what Charlie said above. VILLA CLOSE IN ON GUEYE Midfielder Idrissa Gueye has agreed personal terms on a four-year deal at Aston Villa and will undergo a medical on Friday morning, according to Sky sources. Sky sources reported on Thursday that Villa had agreed a £9million deal with Lille to sign the Senagalese and that he was on his way to Birmingham to finalise his transfer. The 25-year-old has played more than 130 games for the French Ligue 1 side and was Lille's standout performer last term as the club finished 8th. If the deal is completed, Villa will have paid their highest transfer in four years since the signing of Charles N'Zogbia from Wigan in 2011.

Think Man City are all over that deal.

Looks like Konoplyanka has decided on Sevilla. (Hence Stoke going for Shaqiri, I guess).

Fair enough. Best we found out sooner rather than later.

Hedging his bets a bit there, isn't he?

The express do seem to print a load of rubbish.

SSN reporting West Ham close to signing Alex Song.

Sherwood nicking our (alleged) targets 1st Gueye, now Praet? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/aston-villa/11714915/Aston-Villa-transfer-news-Sherwood-bids-7million-bid-for-Dennis-Praet-and-closes-in-on-Idrissa-Gueye.html

+1 to that.

Good shout!

The Gradel link has been around since around May, I believe.

Good to see him back. Some more of that early season form from last year would be nice as well.

SUNDERLAND IN FOR DUO Sunderland are in talks to sign Zenit centre back Nicolas Lombaerts and Dutch forward Jeremie Lens of Dynamo Kiev, according to Sky sources. Lombaerts, 30, would cost the Black Cats around £5million, while Dutch international Lens would set them back around £8.5million.
