We are now officially open for business and the landlord Freddie Myers would like to welcome you to the FFC Tavern. We have opened our doors to Fleet Street's finest and have invited you to look in at the top transfer stories and rumours this January window - Feel free to drop in and share with us any rumours you may have.

Maybe you know the tea lady at Tottenham, the coach driver at Chelsea or your best friend sister's boyfriend knows this guy who is a cab driver who picked up player X and dropped him off at the training ground - We would love to know your stories so come and in and join us.

The talk of the FFC Tavern at the moment is:

Didier to Barça?
It has been reported in various newspapers this morning that Didier Drogba wants a move to Barcelona and has supposedly issued a "come and get me" plea to take him away from Stamford Bridge.
Is it merely paper talk or is it inevitable that Didier Drogba will leave Stamford Bridge in the summer?

Arsenal want an Elephant
It has been reported in The Sun that Arsene Wenger is keen to sign Torpedo Moscow defender Vyacheslav Dmitriev, who is known as the ‘Elephant' due to his big, strong physique and his deceptively quick movement.
Given the loss of Kolo Toure and Senderos's failing to step up; would this signing prove a shrewd move by Wenger?

Man City in for Podolski
It has been reported in various newspapers this morning that Sven Goran Eriksson is planning a £12 million swoop for Bayern Munich striker Lukas Podolski. The move was initially a loan until the end of the season, but Sven is testing the water in a bid for the German international.
Is Podolski the man that can fire Manchester City into the top four this season?

Tottenham & Arsenal in for Russian
It has been reported that both Tottenham, Arsenal and French giants Marseille are fighting for the signature of Russian striker Andrei Arshavin who plays for Zenit St Petersburg.
Given the form of Adebayor, Da Siva and return of Van Persie, does Wenger need to be in the market for another striker?

McFadden set for more blues
It has been reported in the Mirror this morning that Birmingham will finally complete the on going saga of James McFadden's move from Everton in a fee believed to be around £4m.
Is James McFadden really the type of player that Birmingham City need?

Elsewhere in the FFC Tavern this morning it has been reported in the Daily Star that Roy Hodgson reportedly wants to reunite himself once again with Teemu Tainio from Tottenham and that Brazilian striker Afonso Alves could be set to complete his move to Middlesbrough. In various newspapers it has been reported that Fulham along with Wigan and Bolton are vying for the services of Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford and finally in the Guardian it reports that Lassana Diarra is set to complete his move to Portsmouth in a £5.5m deal.
