HERE ARE THE good, the bad, and the unlikely football moves being talked about today…
Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones could be heading for an Old Trafford exit, as United contemplate a move for Southampton’s Jose Fonte.
19-year-old Santos striker Gabriel Barbosa is being linked with a switch to Barcelona.
Joe Hart’s transfer to Everton is dependent on Ajax’s Jasper Cillessen joining Barcelona as well as Man City signing Claudio Bravo.
Arsenal have stepped up their interest in £50 million (€58m)-rated Shkodran Mustafi, as their defensive crisis deepens.
21-year-old Espanyol goalkeeper Pau Lopez has been the subject of persistent interest from Tottenham.
Serie A side Fiorentina are hoping to sign West Ham’s Pedro Obiang.
Both Hull and West Brom are keen on out-of-favour Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez.
Retro Deal of the Day: Matías Vuoso to Man City
Interestingly, at the time (2002), Vuoso became Man City’s second most expensive signing ever as he joined from Independiente for £3.5m (€4m). Oddly though, he didn’t play a single minute of Premier League action, having starred alongside Diego Forlan at the Argentine club, and left Manchester just a year after his move there.
Despite the City debacle, striker Vuoso has had a relatively successful career elsewhere and at 34, currently plays for Liga MX club Cruz Azul, and has scored six goals in 15 caps at international level for Mexico.

Be handy in compromised rules too
Excellent squad addition to the Mayo set-up.
Best of luck to him. Hope he’ll be an addition to his county. He was very loyal to Connacht and didn’t snub them when Harlequins let him go.
Catching high balls in rugby and GAA are completely different things though…
Looks like hes doing the michael jackson thriller dance in that photo of his days as a minor.
Met him once in Dublin after a Mayo game and you could tell he was very passionate about Mayo football. I have no doubt he will be a great addition to the team in what ever capacity. Don’t forget there were plenty off offers from other rugby teams so he hasn’t taken this decision likely.
Anyone know how good he really I know he hasnt played in a while?
Great if it works, but Horan will look like an idiot if it doesn’t.
