In Transfer Talk today, a quick update piece about players Spurs have been linked with, a piece of news on foreign players in Turkey and the origin of the penalty kick.
There is a link below to the piece on Jan Vertonghen and Chris Smalling, whom I played cricket with, indeed captained when he was a colt at my club.
The penalty was the idea of an Irish goalkeeper 129 years ago. In 1891, the penalty kick was officially introduced after an idea from William McCrum to punish the increasingly frequent fouls committed near to the goal to prevent clear opportunities being converted.
Sami Khedira has been a name mentioned but unsurprisingly he wants to stay at Juventus where he is on high wages. With his terrible injury record it would be a big gamble for anyone to sign him.
That won't disturb him, he wants to join Juventus who remain the favourites to sign the 26-year-old (27 in February) Polish international goalscorer.
However, newspaper Repubblica reports that the Italian club will sell Milik to a Premier League club for a cheaper price than the £44.76 million (€50m - AUS$82.52m - US$55.6m) they are asking from Juventus as they would rather not sell to a rival again.
RB Leipzig have said that star striker Timo Werner has a non-negotiable price of £52 million (€50m - AUS$82.52m - US$55.6m).
Would that be a better deal?
It would if that were the price but I have also seen suggests in Germany that they have slapped a whopping £88 million (€98.40m - AUS$162.24m - US$109.46m) on him. That looks to be nearer the mark when you don't want to sell.
The Super Lig football clubs in Turkey have voted to decrease the number of foreign players from 14 to 12 per team and outlaw the transfer of foreign players older than 32 reports news outlet Hurriyet.
