Did they ask hiddink about teixeira or pato in his presser? I missed it Did he deny links or act coy?

Won't get an update tomorrow either i suspect, on whether it is happening or not, as Hiddink will refuse to speak about it

Hulk......

true. Its becoming a tedious saga

I seen that. It just backs up Mauro Cezar's blog tbh. He said we have total agreement with Pato, but not his club. So the agent is correct, every single club in the world has a chance of signing him right now. But only 1 has a personal terms agreement

Whats the odds we actually dont want him, and Brazilian media have been well mis informed and he goes elsewhere?

How long until hes linked with another club though, despite these reports it is more or less done to us EDIT: Nevermind, Sporting in Portugal apparently talking to get him on loan.

Do we let Liverpool have a clear run at one of our supposed main targets who quite publicly wants to Come here. Or do we match their offer

We will spend in the summer, but it wont be a 200m splurge. We have a stadium to pay for, so a lot of business even in summer will be done by raising money through player sales

That guy is the one who first broke the story, he reckons it was all tied up last night. Just waiting for signed documents to announce it officially

They quoted daily express who are awful. If the telegraph or Brazil media report a fee agreed or deal done...I'll believe it.

To play v Arsenal he would have to be signed, registered etc by midday Friday. Doubtful. News seems to have slowed besides that 1 Calcionews tweet

Youd think we would want to tie it up soon if we had plans to use him v Arsenal. Or will Costa be fit, has he recovered quicker than expected?

If it is 11-15m euros, and the rumoured 55k euros a week, its worth a risk. A loan would be even better but a poster said his deal ends in December, so its kinda worthless for Corinthians. He can play wide left too, so right now can he be any worse than Pedro? Can't be no worse than Falcao either

If we sign Pato cannot let Remy go. Even if it costs us £1m or something around that area to cancel it, then Falcao's loan should be scrapped. I read an article yesterday where a Colombian journalist was saying that River Plate and the fans want him back, like a hero returning, but this journalist said in his opinion, Falcao should retire. His injuries have destroyed him and he just cant handle the top level footbal anymore

No just said we won't sign him. No one else at all is backing him up at the moment. All other media still say he is coming here most likely

Much as i dislike beinsports rumours and think they chat rubbish a lot, one of their guys on Twitter reckons we will not sign Pato. Only him reporting it at the mo though

We will end the window with Pato being the only incoming, nailed on

The Chinese clubs only offer that silly money because it usually guarantees the player agrees the move, and secondly they make the money back through merchandise in no time

Any signing we make of course wont be a Hiddink choice, i think thats almost certain. Whoever we sign this month, be it Pato, Bacca or someone else, i think it'd all be done without Hiddink's say so. Therefore i wouldnt be surprised if he has no knowledge of Marina speaking to Pato's agent. However I do think the club would block any Ramires exit and i can see the only departure being Bamford between now and deadline day tbh

Well if nothing happens this week, we maybe have moved onto someone else. Or arent signing anyone possibly. Do you live in Brazil? They still linking him to us out there?

Must be why the price quoted is only 11m euros then, or £11m.

Anyone who believes most of that squad will be here next yr are off their head. Some will leave for cl football. Some we will sell off our own back Hazard won't be here Fabregas isn't certain and neither is Costa. Jt contract still debatable. That's without the squad players who aren't good enough.

Loan for pato would be sensible

Hiddink "We are not in negotiations with..... whoever, at this moment" Matt law in Telegraph claiming Marina Granovskaia is in the negotiations for Pato. Is Hiddink out of the loop? Pato's club have confirmed he hasnt gone to USA as his transfer is advanced, all the Brazilian media claim it is us. Weird situtation
