Manchester City prepare £100m summer move for Liverpool striker Torres

The People have sensationally claimed this morning that Manchester City are preparing a sensational summer move for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres .

Manchester City are preparing to stun the football world this summer with a staggering £100million bid for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.
In a move that will eclipse Manchester United's £80m sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid last summer, City will flex their financial muscles and smash the transfer record for a player regarded as the best forward in the game.

Lyon's Manager Claude Puel has ruled out making any moves during the January transfer period and I'm here to ask "Why?"

I understand that the economy all over the world sucks right now and that there are teams that can't even make payroll, but I don't think Lyon is one of them and you would think that they would want to build on their past successes.

Remember Juan Sebastian Veron? The man who set the Premier League alight following his £28 million move to Manchester United (I got his name on the back of my United shirt). Well despite him being 34, Roberto Mancini had a crack at bringing him to Man City and Veron rejected...

Veron has picked up the form that made him subject to that blockbuster move to Old Trafford, back in his native Argentina with his boyhood club Estudiantes, so much so that he has been named South American player of the year in 2008 and 2009.

We've said it once and we'll say it again: nothing good ever comes of the January transfer window. But while rumours of big-money moves and blockbuster trades persist, here is our pick of four relegation-bound players ripe for the plucking:

Morten Gamst Pedersen. Having threatened to drop off the radar under Paul Ince's stewardship, the Norwegian winger looks to be re-discovering his best form with Big Sam in charge.

Who will the Wizards take in the draft today? Who should they take?Will the Wizards trade up? Down?Will Bunbury follow in his father's footsteps and play in Kansas City or will they get talented midfielder Tchani? Or will Vermes surprise us and pick someone else?Will there be any blockbuster trades? We have already seen DC acquire the Perkins.

Barcelona have yet to suffer a defeat in la Liga and will complete half of their season's fixtures this weekend. In 18 matches played, the Catalans have won a remarkable 14 matches and drawn the remaining four games. Barca have the best defensive record with a mere 10 goals conceded and have scored a league high 46 goals.
