Its that time a year again when the summer is drawing near. The time when managers and scouts are at their busiest. Trying to keep hold of talent whilst trying to improve the squad.

Use this thread for any speculation or gossip you may have found.

---------------

Arsenal look keen to sign santa cruz for 12mil.

Man city - 35mil for david vila

Man United - karim benzema to replace tevez

Stoke - interested in sami hypia and andy van der meyde and depending where they finish will go for joe ledley of cardiff.

-----------

NOTE: these are just rumours. None of these are guranteed. I do not take responsibilty for giving you hope in a great player coming to your club and then you become disappointed because it doesnt happen

I heard a few rumours some obsurd some believeable but here goes

David Villa to Chelsea for 40mil
Matthew Upson to Arsenal for 10mil
Roque Santa Cruz to Liverpool for 14mil
Joleon Lescott to Man City for 9mil
Joe Hart to Aston Villa for 5mil
Stewart Downing to Tottenham for 11mil
And an absolutely outragous one:
KAKA TO MAN CITY FOR 160MIL

kaka to wigan > £3mill plus zaki
£4k a week

lol^^^^^

i am a city fan, and yes currently loving it!!!

no way kaka will join, it was christmas or never in my opinion,

would love S.ETO to come along tho, he is just what we need at the moment,

david villa is too high profile i believe and liverpool / chelsea would definately get in the way.

if joe hart leaves that will be very disappointing, although we cant drop given, hart is a massive loss for the future, martin o'neill is the ultimate manager so cant blame him 4 jumping at 5 million,

joleon lescott to city, would be a good addition, surely moyes isnt gonna get rid of a defender that also scores important goals,
