Done Dea-l: Republic of Ireland international Darren O’Dea has extended his stay at Blackpool until the end of the season.

Keeping up appearances: After missing out on Victor Valdes, Liverpool are eyeing up Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen as a solution to their goalkeeping woes (Daily Star).

Humm-ing and hawing: All this speculation linking Mats Hummels to Manchester United hasn’t gone away. The Mirror report that United are set to make a fresh £35m bid.

Def-initely maybe: So it looks like Jermaine Defoe — who is training with former club Spurs — could be on his way back to the Premier League. Steve Bruce is interested in taking him to Hull but QPR and Leicester are reportedly sniffing around as well.

The latest on Leo: We still leaving this one firmly in the “not a chance” category for now. Even if Messi is desperately unhappy and wants to leave the Camp Nou, BBC report that only two clubs could realistically afford him under Financial Fair Play — Real Madrid and Manchester United. Gentlemen, start your engines.
