Besiktas are keen to sign Emmanuel Adebayor from Spurs. And Spurs are about to bring Roberto Soldado from Valencia. Also, Valencia are eyeing for Arsenal's Olivier Giroud to replace Soldado's position if he really on his way out. But we're not doing anything.

Hey guys, just got word that Colombian, Christian Benitez died in a car accident at age 27. Former striker from Birmingham.

Yeah, saw it on the News. Any death at a young age is tragic...
 
R.I.P Christian Benitez, the young Ecuadorian striker....My deepest condolences to his friends and family, it is indeed a dark day for football....

If I were you guys I'd ignore all transfer speculation till it says a deal is done or the day of the window closing. Everything that's come out this window has been a near lie by the media hoping to spark gossip and drama. It's utter ********.

What else is there to discuss right now...? Who's going to go where is as good as anything, even if it is total ********...

On a different note the Championship starts again this weekend, anyone got any picks as to who will be going up?

(Oh, and apparently Germany won the Women's Euros for the sixth consecutive time...)

Wait, what Championship is going on? I'm so out of it right now, haha.

I knew that wouldn't be clear enough... The Football League Championship? The league below the Premier League? The one QPR are now in?

Word is that Real Madrid had an £80m+ offer turned down by Tottenham for Gareth Bale. I know he's a good player but he isn't worth that much. Tottenham should have accepted the offer, they could comfortably replace Bale with two or three decent players for that amount of money.

I think QPR will get the promotion this season. Bolton could get it and also Watford or Notts. My top six is QPR, Bolton, Watford, Notts, Reading and Blackpool.

Anyway, Mirror says Arsenal won't raise the bid for Luis Suarez because he doesn't worth the gamble for Wenger. Will we sign someone?

Ah Jack James, I've been wanting to ask you what you think about Moyes as Man U boss?

Bale is now worth about £91m iirc. Spurs want £100m for him. The reason why Spurs don't want to accept maybe because Bale is a heart of the team for them, if they lose Bale, they lose their style of play.

QPR will find it easy to buy their way up again, and I'd pretty much agree with that top six other than someone else for Reading. I don't see them bouncing back too well...

Maybe not, you'll still probably benefit from Tottenham incompetence though...

Clearly this was not calculated on the Torres-Carroll scale...

And I think either QPR or Wigan will get it.

Without Roberto Martinez (greatest manager ever) I can't see Wigan coming back, as much as I loved them (despite all the points they took off us...)

Maybe Birmingham or Wolves over Reading.

Yeah Bale isn't going anywhere. That will be a huge mistake if Madrid decided to buy him. But Madrid have handed a £30m-ish bid and they also added Conterao and Di Maria in order to get Bale....
