The thing with this time of the year is that transfer talk is never 100%. There is much bargaining being done behind the scenes.
Peggy is a perfect example. The man wants to play for us and he is free on a Bosman, but is he being used to put pressure on the price of Espen Johnson - possibly.
Domi another - whilst being a good player and would be a good acquisition, are we really after him, or is Houllier using this speculation for other means.
What I mean is we can't be certain until the signings have been made.
As regards Mcallister - I read this as
1: We need an experienced midfielder
2: We are not in the CL.
3: We will be in it next year (supposedly)
4: We apparently want Mcallister for a year
5: ZZ apparently wants to stay at Juve for another year.
Then again it could be complete bollox.
The only thing I do know is that we are definitely after somebody in the Spanish league, but I've heard rumours that Man U are after the same person.
