Today's fluff is Mr. November
These are grim times for Ashley Cole, who can't even get into the Chelsea first XI ahead of a right-back. Ashley's a-cold! Jose Mourinho is looking to do poor Ashley some charity by bringing in Fabio Coentrao, who unlike César Azpilicueta is at least a specialist in the position. That's not going to make him feel much better, though, is it.
This state of affairs might test Ryan Bertrand's patience too, though whether former suitors Liverpool will still be interested is another matter. They've now got designs on Martin Montoya, who can't get in the Barcelona first team, but then it is Barcelona so the jury is out.
Ian Holloway is in the frame to become manager of Bristol City, and add the south-western city to a list of places he'll never be able to go back to in his dotage alongside Plymouth, Leicester and Blackpool, on account of his historical links with Bristol Rovers. This won't end well, you heard it here first.
Manchester United have just won 5-0 at Bayer Leverkusen, their best away result in Europe since winning 6-0 at Shamrock Rovers in 1957. Shinji Kagawa was a major part of that, so naturally having finally found his groove, they're trying to parlay him into Marco Reus by offering him back to Borussia Dortmund. Also on the Old Trafford radar: Sevilla and Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic, though in the modern social-media style, Chelsea and Liverpool also want to HAVE THEIR SAY about that one.
