Still no takeover development.
Word is that Roy was told that Ole Toivenen is not for sale in his quest for another striker, although if Torres is fit and Ngog and Babel are producing he might be alright for a bit, but Torres would have to play all EPL games and some Europa games and the rest could fill in spot duty for games already won and Carling cup. Not ideal, but it might be passable.
Of course Mancini is already pimping Balotelli as better than Torres.
