My Thoughts:
1. Rubbish story from Chelsea's perspective but could land at Anfield.
2. I expect Man United to win that race. Bale's time at Real Madrid looks up.
3. Surprising but I have a feeling him and van Gaal clash a little. PSG & Barcelona look the likely destinations.
4. About £1 million too high from Everton's stand point but they might take it anyway.
5. Ozil must surely be on his way out after this. Would anger any manager and I feel this is completely irresponsible of him.
