I thought I will be able to do the update today but they did keep me in hospital. Thanks again for your wishes as I recover from Gallbladder surgery.

A little different format today as I am only armed with my phone. I am on heavy medication & I must say it is tough trying to type with an IV attached.

The big story that came out in the last few hours is that Insua is off to Gallatasaray.

Some speculation that Ryan Babel might be leaving emerged after he tweeted “sigh…” twice, According to a report he might have met with Roy who told him that he must prove himself.

A report from Greece also suggests that Damien Plessis to Panathinaikos.

Many reports are suggesting that Mario Gomez could become our striker, he is the front runner right now.

The konchesky deal is not complete yet.

Torres will play for Spain in the international break against Roy’s wishes.
