lots of juicy gossip today, so here are my thoughts on it......

Jose Mourinho has shelved Chelsea's bid for Andre Schurrle - whaa?  This one seems to have been a done deal since forever.

Nicklas Bendtner has been told he has no future at Arsenal - least surprising news ever.

...AC Milan are keen to reunite Carlos Tevez with Mario Balotelli at the San Siro - I don't quite understand how anyone thinks Tevez will go to Italy until his current contract expires.  He is on about 200k per week, and doesn't want to go lower than that, and Italian clubs are just not throwing that kind of cash about.  I can see him ending up at Monaco or PSG.

...Aston Villa will let veteran keeper Shay Given go on loan next season, with Celtic interested - match made in heaven, with old, broken keeper going to a club where he will have to face about 20 shots on goal all season.

...Blackburn boss Gary Bowyer is ready to give local hero David Dunn a new deal - match made in heaven with bloated joke of a player staying with bloated joke of a club

...Crystal Palace have made an ambitious bid for Blackpool star Tom Ince - will never happen in a million years.  This is one of those rumours that is simple to make up because Ince played for Holloway at Blackpool.

...Leeds boss Brian McDermott expects to sign Reading striker Noel Hunt today - will be a good signing for Leeds, and a poke in the eye for all those people who said this would never happen and the rumour was simple to start because Hunt played for McDermott at Reading.
