Esperando na janela

[Edit: Inter bought Forlan and therefore I took them out of the equation]

The transfer window is still open but time is running out.  Who will act?

Quite a few big names are not settled yet. Are we sure that Tevez is staying with City? Will Sneijder go and if so what happens to Inter? Would it not make sense for Kaka to make a move? And will Spurs finally decide to let Modric go?

That are the really big names on the supply side.  On top of that, of course Scott Parker needs to find a home in the Premiership rather than the Championship, but that is another level. Even further down, a bunch of tall strikers with dubious skills (Bentner, Crouch) are still looking for a home that will welcome them with open arms.

On the demand side, I think there is some worldwide consensus (with one possible dissident) that Arsenal need to spend.  Sneijder and Kaka have been mentioned there, but what about Tevez?

Spurs need to shop too, and in particular if they are to lose Luca. Parker would be a welcome addition, but he doesn't really compare to Modric.  A tough situation for Spurs, as even if they hold on to Modric there is a clear risk that he will have a so-so season.

Milan, yes, here Galliani will have lost quite a bit of credibility if there is no Mr. X - which seems to be the case.  But Ganso is still to sign someone, I have not given up my hopes yet.

Örebro fans are waiting by the window too.  And we wait...
