Hahaha. The desire to prove themselves on a cold night in Stoke bringing all the big names one by one no doubt

Stoke have declared their interest:

Would be a brilliant deal if they managed to sign him, hopefully he and Bojan can form a little 'how on earth did we end up here?' clique at Stoke. Hopefully they'll go on to sign Goran Pandev or Wesley Sneijder or someone equally ridiculous.

^This. When we are 'parking the bus', Cahill is excellent. But we are trying to play a higher line this season given that we want to take the initiative in games more often than not. As a result, we need a centre-half next to JT who is better on the ball and has some pace. Varane would be ideal and from what I can tell also a plausible target in many ways.
