Of all the strikers in the world they're actually going for the likes of Odemwingie and Fletcher.

No idea. He must have shown something at Marseille to convince Porto to pay a record fee for him. He played against us in a pre-season friendly in the summer and apparently ran the show. From all accounts he's been wank at Porto, hopefully that's a case of him not being able to settle there.

Likely to have been a free at the end of the season- hence the Caulker loan. Like TyChan says though, looks like he'll stay in Germany.

I don't care that we haven't signed anyone. This season is about Klopp evaluating the squad.

He was good - he was the key midfielder in Bielsa's tactics, and according to Dimitri Payet the main reason he racked up so many assists in 2014-15 was because Imbula fed him so many good passes.

Somehow, despite being a poo poo window with no good signings, this January saw the highest transfer spending since 2010-11 at £175m.

The article that reported it (which was badly translated into English) said it was Schalke's final desperate gamble, and Matip still wants to come to England, so it may still be on.

Reports of Pato off to China. I know he's on high wages but it still doesn't make sense to me since so many teams in Europe seem desperate for a striker.

15 million still seems like peanuts for a possible fraud injury prone striker in the TV money era. I keep hearing that he's been really good in Brazil. I'm going to believe that without doing research.

Russian transfer window is open up until February 26th. No point in closing it now, since the league doesn't resume until March. Whatever signings are made during February are ineligible to play in European competitions, but they will be eligible for playing in Russian domestic tournaments.

Having clubs that are not poor means teams don't need to sell and can pay the players higher wages. This makes them less likely to move. It's really not rocket science though I imagine simple economics is a bit complicated for him.
