Transfer Market Crystal Baller

Portsmouth:

Hold on to ‘em assets "Tone". If Harry sweeps for David James we might see a chain reaction of Yohann Pelé coming from Lens. Blaise Matuidi will be bought to fill the gap left by Lassana Diarra.

Likely in: Blaise Matuidi

Outrageous buy: none

Possibly out: Glen Johnson

Stoke City:

Southampton’s Andrew Surman is top of Tony Pulis' list. Watford need the cash so a bid by the Potters might be tempting.

Likely in: Andrew Surman (Southampton), Tommy Smith (Watford), Gary Caldwell (Celtic)

Outrageous buy: Manucho

Possibly out: none

Sunderland:

The crystal ball seems to be foggy since the the introduction of Ricky Sbragia. One thing's for sure, he’s not a fan of Diouf.

Likely in: none

Outrageous buy: none

Possibly out: Ross Wallace; El-Hadji Diouf; Pascal Chimbonda

Tottenham Hotspur:

Brace yourself cause this is a mind blower, Redknapp is said to be desperate to get rid of Roman Pavlyuchenko.

Likely in: Craig Bellamy, Fernando Cavenaghi, Stewart Downing

Outrageous buy: Andrei Arshavin

Possibly out: Aaron Lennon

West Bromwich Albion:

I’m sorry but I have no time for West Brom, they shot themselves in the foot when they sold goal machine Kevin Phillips. The crystal ball says not even a dabble in the transfer market will save this sinking ship.

Likely in: Brian Stock (Doncaster), Oscar Trejo (Real Mallorca)and Jay Simpson on loan from Arsenal.

Outrageous buy: none

Possibly out: Craig Beattie, Shelton Martis and Jared Hodgkiss

West Ham:

Zola really wants £7m-rated striker Giampaolo Pazzini from Fiorentina, and that is why so many players will be up for grabs to collect the sum for Pazzini. Craig Bellamy has talent but little in the way of loyalty so I’m expecting him to move to Spurs.

Likely in: Savio Nsereko (Brescia)

Outrageous buy: Giampaolo Pazzini (Fiorentina)

Possibly out: Craig Bellamy, Nigel Quashie, Lee Bowyer, Luis Boa Morte, Calum Davenport, Danny Gabbidon and Jon Spector

Wigan Athletic:

Steve Bruce will be sweating over the future of Emile Heskey. Bruce’s top priority is Nicky Butt from Newcastle United.

Likely in: Nicky Butt

Outrageous buy: none

Possibly out: Antonio Valencia, and Marlon King to Hull City permanently.

One things for sure the economic "mumbo-jumbo"—this is the official terminology—will not be affecting the English Premiership as we go into the second half of the closest  season ever at both ends of the table. If you are as fortunate as me to have a crystal ball at home, let me know what yours reveals.
