Monaco apparently said the transfer window is now closed for them.

They signed Stekelenburg, so it makes sense

Schwarzer is more than a decent backup GK...Used to be a fan like 10 years ago @ Middlesbrough

Indeed Schwarzer could still start in some PL teams.

Dutch media claim PSV Eindhoven talent Kevin Strootman is close to joining Roma for €15m.

The 23-year-old midfielder reportedly turned down offers from Russia in order to accept the Serie A challenge.

According to Voetbal International, PSV have agreed to drop their asking price from €20m to €15m.

It would be a real coup for the Giallorossi, as Strootman had also been linked with Milan, Manchester United and Inter in recent months.

“There are several clubs interested but only when they reach an agreement with PSV do I come into the picture,” he told the same publication.

“This is not to say that any are in the world’s top six. There is also interest from Russia, but that is not an option for me. I do not make hasty decisions about my future.

“The opinion of Netherlands Coach Louis van Gaal is also very important with the World Cup in Brazil next year.”

--------------------------------------

Some other sources have our bid as high as 17m for him. Terms already agreed as well it seems.

This has to be a possible replacement for Pjanic or De Rossi. Can't see so many top midfielders getting sufficient time in the team this season.

Internacional reject €18m bid from Napoli for Leandro Damiao.

Norwich close to signing Blackburn left back Martin Olsson.

Don't know how Steklenburg would start over the underrated Schwarzer.

Stek is one of the most overrated GK's out there and has a serious pre-madonna attitude while proving little to nothing.

Schwarzer should have taken the Freidel route and shut his mouth just like the latter did to Lloris.
