He isn't on the list, however before the end of the season Juande said he was open to offers for the whole squad except for Woodgate, king, Hutton, Keane and Berbatov, might have been a couple of others as well but deffo Dawson weren't on the list of 'untouchables' and there is a lot of speculation that Dawson only shone because he was alongside King the season before last IIRC

It wont be a straight swap, that's for sure and Liverpool are supposed to be sniffing about Bentley

How are Millwall and Southampton on the list but not the Hammers

That I could see at any rate

[TheDaddy]

Apparently the hammers have bid 8 million for Orlando Engelaar, who the hell is he? Apparently Schalke want him as well. All I know is he is Dutch and a centre mid and that we could have got him for 300 grand not so long ago grrrr

Sven to Chelsea, I'd put 50p on it

Jose to Inter, who will he take with him? Drogba, Lampard, Carvalleo and most recently Essien have been linked, all 4 would take up his reported £100 million transfer budget, that's for sure

He's about 20/1 at the moment, Rijkaard is still the favourite apparently.

Mourinho is the new Inter manager and Mark Hughes is in talks with Man city.

Can't see them going for Rijkaard, they just sacked his mate didn't they?

Rumour has it that Rijkaard is more interested in having a break from coaching.

[Shadow Demon UK]

According to an article on the BBC Chelsea had ruled Rijkaard out as well. They seem to be intrested in Ancelotti although Milan wont let them talk to him. Scolari would be a decent bet as well.

[SB_07]

Manchester United have agreed a fee of around £5 million for Cardiff City's Welsh starlet Aaron Ramsey.

Just seen breaking news on Setanta that Lehmann has signed a one year contract with Stuggart and Blackburn agree compensation deal with Man City so Mark Hughes can leave.

Wonder what effect that will have on his chances of ever managing Man U

Would be a good signing for Newcastle but they def need alot more decent players.
