I dont see him not allowing new bids, really.

Barca can't count only on Puyol. It would be suicidal.

I just hope Tata doesn't think the current cb's are enough. Last season made clear they aren't. Bartra and Bagnack are not ready or good enough yet.

I don't think he wouldn't allow new bids either, but I can very well imagine he wouldn't urge the club to continue bidding.

Unless he thinks it doesn't Worth to spend that many money, i don't see him thinking that's enough.

It would be incredibly stupid because the new CBs need to know the team well. Especially in anticipation to the CL.

I agree partly with you. We are short on [quality] CB's, and we definitely should get one in this window. I do think we should not buy a CB just for sake of getting one though. If we get one it should be one to add quality to our defense. I really hope we'd succeed, but I feel our scouting department/board messed up on this one.

What i meant is that new players need to play a lot in their new team to improve their teamplay.

Buying a CB now ensure that by February/march he will have learned to play with his new teammates and coach.

You don't want your new CB bought during the winter transfer window to miss some passes in a CL match in early 2014 because he doesn't have the automatisms he would have had if he joined right now.

Alan Pardew recently said to The Shields Gazette that if a big offer is transmitted to Newcastle for Cabaye, they will think about it, but so far they didn't recieve any.

Newcastle recently estimated its player value around 35M

Rumors say that PSG is actively trying to recruit him.

-

What a f**** joke. If PSG really wants him and pays 35M, they have lost it.

Cabaye doesn't Worth that much. What a fraud.

Fabio Andreotti, Insigne's agent, said yesterday morning on the CRC Radio that PSG is really interested in signing Insigne. He insisted that PSG is following the Young player for a long time.

Then in the afternoon, he totally changed his speech while attending this time an interview for Radio Kiss Kiss. He just said that before the end of the week Insigne will meet up with Napoli's president to sign a new contract.

So far no one really knows if PSG is really interested or if Fabio and Insigne are just using a fake Rumor to earn a new contract in Napoli.

Last transfer news from me for tonight.

Sakho is leaving.

So far Liverpool seems to be the preferred target by PSG high ups to discuss with.

But Sakho would prefer to join Monaco. His agent is trying to get in contact with the Club.

Ealier this year, Monaco was interested in him before giving up.

Hi, its me..
Luiz Gustavo would relish move to Arsenal from Bayern Munich

"My contract with Bayern runs until 2015 but it is very important that I play first-team football to keep getting called up for Brazil. I am in a very delicate situation at Bayern and this needs sorting out. I have personal and professional reasons to move," he said on arrival in Basel for Brazil's friendly against Switzerland. "I have heard about the Arsenal interest. It's a big club we're talking about here so of course I'd like to play for them.

only a matter of time, it seems. Would be a really good signing for them, from what ive seen of him so far anyway.

@barcastuff:

David Luiz (Chelsea): "Barça? I'm with Brazil now, and I only talk about that. You can ask what you want, I won't say anything." [via as]

I'm taking this as a positive as he didnt say it won't happen :)

Because price of D.Luiz and Agger is too high and centre back is no priority for Martino, transfer could be postponed until January. [sport]

Sport's cover also say Puyol is Tata's biggest hope... It's just sport, but it's worrying. At the very least Mathieu should come.

And MD's cover for tomorrow also has it, saying Tata is likely to wait for Puyol and the winter transfer window.
