Manchester United considering making a bid for Cabaye, according to the Guardian.

While initial reports suggested Michael Essien failed a Milan medical, it’s now claimed he passed supplementary tests.

According to La Repubblica, the Ghana international failed tests related to an old anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Essien arrived in Milan on Friday evening and had his medical on Saturday morning, but so far has still not signed the contract.

After a couple of hours, new reports from Sky Sport Italia and the Corriere dello Sport maintained the Chelsea midfielder passed the second round of stress tests at the Milanello training ground.

Erick Thohir has arrived in Milan to oversee Inter's activity for the remainder of the transfer window after being blasted for his conduct by Juventus and Giuseppe Marotta.

The Bianconeri reacted furiously this week when the Indonesian tycoon pulled the plug on a swap deal which would have seen Fredy Guarin and Mirko Vucinic exchange clubs - with striker Vucinic allegedly already having cleared his locker in preparation for a move to the Giuseppe Meazza.

Juve CEO Marotta slammed the behaviour of Thohir and Inter, acussing them of a "lack of respect shown towards two professional players" after a backtrack came 24 hours after a verbal agreement had been put in place.

With the conclusion the Vucinic-Guarin debacle, Thohir insists that he is intent on pursuing a number of targets to strengthen the Nerazzurri before the window closes this week.

''I'm here for a series of meetings with the club," the 43-year-old told journalists, who greeted his arrival at Milan's Malpensa airport.

"The most important of these meetings will start from Monday. We want to increase the amount of business we've done and also to evaluate the dynamics in the transfer market. What is my state of mind in this delicate moment? In life, we must be able to accept the ups and downs."

He got this

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has insisted that Mario Mandzukic remains a key player amid rumours the striker could be sold in January.

"I have heard that Mario did not train very well," the Bayern president told Sky.

"I really hope that he will improve in the next few weeks. We need Mario Mandzukic this season.

The obscure Digimon reference... This made my day.   

Digimon was great back in the day, especially the early versions I remember watching it alot as a kid. Better than that repetitive shat pokemon that is.

Monaco pls bid 20m for Hernandez

Borussia Dortmund have reportedly identified Hertha Berlin striker Adrian Ramos as the ideal candidate to replace the Bayern Munich-bound Robert Lewandowski.

The Champions League runners-up have been linked with a string of star names such as Diego Costa, Seydou Doumbia and Jackson Martinez but Germany legend Lothar Matthaus expects Jurgen Klopp to elect the current Bundesliga joint-top goalscorer.

Ramos, 28, has been impressive in Hertha's return to the top flight, netting 11 goals in 18 league appearances.

"I know that Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of Adrian Ramos," he told Sky. "I am convinced that Ramos will be Lewandowski's replacement at Dortmund."

Heurelho Gomes has hinted that he is finally set to leave Tottenham. The Brazilian goalkeeper has not played a match for Spurs for the last two years and looks set to return to PSV Eindhoven where he won four Eredivisie titles.

Lloris:

"The objective is to reach the Champions League. After that, it's to close the gap on the biggest teams in the league," Lloris is quoted as saying.

"Without Champions League football? I've not thought about it. I must weigh things up at the end of the season."

Arsenal interested in Draxler according to Sky Sports, however there's no offer for him yet.

How dumb must this guy be if he hasn't thought about not having CL football given that he plays for Spurs?
