sky Sports understands that Fulham have expressed an interest in taking Romelu Lukaku on a season-long loan from west London rivals Chelsea.

Likewise. While it's impressive on the face of it - and they'll be exciting to watch - they seem to be buying a lot of similar attacking mid types. Not sure how they'll shoehorn them all into the side. Gonna be fascinating watching them though.

All dwarfs as well. Not sure how they will cope on a wet wednesday in Stoke either.

your right it will be interesting to see what side Terry puts out.

Di Matteo did OK coming in and going back to the tried and trusted Chelsea style that the players demanded were comfortable with. Will he be strong enough to implement a new style with so many star players that all think they know what their best position is. My only hope is that he isn't.

Imagine what Ancelotti could have did with this sort of support from RA. Would like to see PSG face Chelsea in the Champion's League.

Paris St Germain have reached an agreement with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the Sweden international is now poised to complete his move from AC Milan.

Milan and the ambitious Ligue 1 club had already settled on a fee for the powerful striker but the deal was being held up as personal terms were discussed.

Ibrahimovic will now undergo a medical in Paris on Wednesday with the club having called a press conference in the afternoon to unveil their latest big-name signing.

Sporting director Leonardo said: "We have an agreement, the deal is done. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is our player. He will undergo the medical check-ups tomorrow."

Beauty

Ibrahimovic's agent Mino Raiola added: "All parties are happy, therefore Zlatan is too.

"Now Paris has one more reason to be considered a city full of beauty, with the arrival of Ibra."

A statement on the club's official website read: "A press conference will be held on Wednesday July 18th, 2012 at 3:00pm in the Parc des Princes Press Conference Room with Nasser Al Khelaifi, Paris Saint-Germain president, and Leonardo."

The former Barcelona striker was Serie A's top scorer last season, netting 28 goals as the Rossoneri finished runners-up to Juventus and will join former team-mate Thiago Silva in Paris.

Spurs have been linked with a move for Malaga striker Jose Salomon Rondon, 22, who has scored 27 goals in two seasons at the cash-strapped club. Giovani dos Santos could move in the opposite direction.

Hearing from a very good source tonight that #AFC are in receipt of a 'number' of offers for Robin Van Persie.

City, United, Juventus. Possibly PSG?

Anyone else perhaps?

[Chazza]

If Utd are in for him it will be a piss poor offer

Chelsea? They seem to be in for every one else and need a striker

[Fosterbloke]

I reckon he'll play in Italy.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I personally think City would be better off without him.. Not sure why but I can't see him being nearly as good next year.

Yeah, United will do it as a statement of intent.

Chelsea is an interesting one and definitely possible. If they can get £15m for Torres and then spend £25m on RVS to be their main striker then I could see that happening.

City will surely have to sell one or both of Tevez and Dzeko. They've far too many strikers.

Barcelona have signed Zak Gilsenan.

Never heard of him.

[lickedlollipop]

It's official: Ibra signed for PSG.


football is a ****ing mess.

[Chris]

Does feel proper **** that PSG can go and take AC Milan's best players. Paris is a good City and it's Milan's choice to sell though I guess.
