12.18 Arsenal said to be in talks with Chelsea over Demba Ba.
11.21 Liam Spencer of IronViews reckons Jack Sullivan is talking about Demba Ba. We can but hope. But hope is all I reckon it will be. How could we afford his £70k wages under FFP?
11.18 And so it starts: A tweet from Jack Sullivan: “My dad is still trying to pull off a big surprise signing. Only a 30% chance. If it happens I’ll let you know 1st.” That’ll be Ozil, then
10.59 From the Mail’s Joe Bernstein: “Interesting stand-off at West Ham regarding their interest in Italian striker Fabio Quagliarella. Juventus are keen on selling Quagliarella who has been sidelined in Turin by Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente but West Ham insist they aren’t in a position to pay a transfer fee and are only interested in a loan. Quagliarella, 30, is valued at £7million by Juve who want to explore the option of selling first.
10.52 According to KUMB West Ham are chasing an unnamed African striker who plays in La Liga.
10.48 The Carlton Cole bandwagon is beginning to roll. Lots of people saying he’s coming back. My bet is that we will cut out losses of Maiga and Cole will replace him, with another striker coming in too.

10.22 I presume this must be a wind-up but according to the Telegraph Yakubu has been spotted at Upton Park by Joseph Cass’s fiancee. Whoever that is.
