any changes in Higuin?
and any changes in pato's situation?

Also any interest in leandro damiao leading up to january? thanks Ed merry Christmas. {Ed002's Note - There is nothing new. Leandro Damiao seems to be of interest to several clubs at the moment not least AC Milan who want him to replace Cassano but need to free up a non EU quota spot to buy him. Spurs and Arsenal have apparently have taken a look recently as have Porto and PSG. His agent is talking up offers but that will probably not be anything to do with transfer fees, just possible wages. Over the summer there was also interest from Juve, Roma, Lyon, Sporting Lisbon and Barcelona have shown some interest in the past two months. Juventus may push for a January transfer but I don't see him moving before perhaps January 2013.}

Hi ed. what do you make of the rumours in today's papers suggesting roman abramovich will give avb a massive amount of money to spend in January? The rumours suggest cavani and hamsik, as well as milos krasic and Gary Cahill (stated as almost definitely complete). I'd love both cavani and hamsik, but couldn't see Napoli selling them in this transfer window! I'd like Chelsea to take a punt on xhedran shaqiri, he's skilful, fast and really strong, don't think he'd cost too much either. What are your views ed? Merry Christmas! {Ed002's Note - Whilst there is interest in many of the players mentioned the thought that AVB will do all of the buying with this giant pile of cash is very far from the truth.}
