You'll have to do better than that: Dimitar Berbatov acknowledges Fenerbahce's offer. Photograph: Jon Super/AP
Today's fluff spits upon the name Oliver Cromwell. It's bizarre isn't it? People getting so idiotically excited about a pointless, expensive, anachronistic and downright weird institution that should have been scrapped centuries ago? The hours and hours of rolling news, eroding the soul with the unstoppable inevitability of waves on rock. The analysts rummaging through the unknown details like rats in a tip, attempting to give meaning to something that quite simply has none. Still, the January transfer window is here to stay and there's not much we can do about it, so we might as well take a look at who is going to be making the big moves next year.
Chelsea's defensive uber-crisis means they will splash either £25m on Benfica's David Luiz, £20m on Gary Cahill, £5m on Roma's Phillippe Mexès or something similar on Newcastle's Steven Taylor. Or they may simply recall Michael Mancienne from his loan spell at Wolves, blatantly the most sensible option given that both Alex and John Terry could well be back by the middle of January anyway.
Fenerbahce want to spend €15m on Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov. Though they almost certainly won't be able to. They might, though, be able to get their hands on enjoyably provocative Manchester City frontman Emmanuel Adebayor, who Roberto Mancini wants out of Eastlands. Juventus, however, seem to be at the front of the queue.

the latter, maybe, the former, impossible.
Dimitar Berbatov's agent has again insisted that the Bulgarian has no intention of leaving Manchester United.
The 30-year-old has been continually linked with a move away from Old Trafford, despite the fact he has enjoyed his best ever start to a season whilst with United.
A move back to Germany has been mooted for the former Bayer Leverkusen man, whilst Juventus have also been linked.
However, Sir Alex Ferguson has done nothing but express his satisfaction with Berbatov and his agent insists that talk of a move is wrong.
"There's nothing to say. He will stay in Manchester," agent Emil Dantchev said.
"All the reports of a move are nothing. They are false. He's happy and the club are happy."
i thought Berbatov has been signed by Tampines Rovers ?
