How many managers does it take to spend £50 million? None, apparently.

2. Dani Guiza to Arsenal

3. Liam Fontaine to Liverpool

5. Michael Bradley to Middlesbrough
Gareth Southgate is hoping the USA star will take time out of preparations for the friendly against England to discuss a potential move to the Riverside. Dutch side Heerenveen are prepared to sell, but not cheaply.

6. Richard Dunne to Aston Villa
Manchester City’s Richard Dunne – who has more transfer speculation going on around him than Cristiano Ronaldo at the moment – is a £4 million target for Aston Villa. Martin O’Neill sees the Republic of Ireland international as the perfect replacement for Olof Mellberg. [Daily Mail]
