The rumours keep on coming. With the transfer window just over a month away, what are your club up to?

Pellegrini to stay at City
Manuel Pellegrini has been given the thumbs up to carry on as Manchester City boss.The Chilean landed in Canada tonight for the start of City’s North America tour, knowing he will be in charge next season.
He received the green light during talks on Sunday with chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak when they reviewed the campaign and discussed plans for next season.
It’s believed City are sticking with Pellegrini, despite City’s trophyless campaign, because they could not land top target Pep Guardiola.
