Transfer deadline days: Rumors and possiblities!

There are only three days to go until the transfer deadline days, and there's bound to be some last minute dealings. The last minute scramblings over player's signature, the shock transfers, the new Wags fans of a club will look forward to seeing in the stand. In some cases, the positive vibe from these transfers is enough to propel the club into a momentum which would help them go on a winning streak. There are the possibility of tactical tweaks, significant upgrades on the squad, and many more.

These are the deadline day transfer rumors which i wish to see happening. More often than not, it's only rumors but well, we as fans can always hope!

1. Julio Cesar to QPR

The rumors started after that 5-0 pastings they received from Swansea in the opening fixture. Should it happen, it would downright be a panic purchase from Mark Hughes. There wasn't so much logic in buying another keeper so soon after you acquired an England international between the sticks - even if it's Rob Green. Just imagine what it would do to the lad's confidence. But it would be nice to see a Brazil international on these shores - we don't get too many of them!

2. Moutinho to Tottenham Hotspurs

Now that they've ended that friggin Luka Modric saga once and for all, it would be nice to see who would be brought in to replace him. Ideally, Rafael van der Vaart would take the main playmaking position - he always had the talent and application, and he's never quick enough to be an out and out winger by the way. So his midfield partner should be someone that fits the current position he occupy in Spurs, in the centre of the park with license to roam forward - aiding to make plays and tucking in for defensive duty. Joao Moutinho would fits the role nicely. Deemed not creative enough to be the main playmaker for country, but not quite covered in deensive glory either. Just enough to balance the play next to Sandro.

3. Moussa Dembele to Man Utd

Watching last week's fixture of Fulham against MUFC, i can only marvel at Dembele plays. He's involved in everything positive about Fulham, be it the attack or the defensive work he did. Still not a household name, but a move to Man Utd would do the man mountain lots of good. He could have the same effect to Man Utd, what Yaya Toure is for Man City. Look at the accompanying picture and marvel at the physical speciment. Tell me you wouldn't want that guy minding your midfield. Simply put, Moussa is immense.

4. Yohan Cabaye to Arsenal

Initially it was Nuri Sahin who's primed to take a place in Arsenal midfield. After he chose to aid the Brendan Rodgers 'Liverpoolona' revolution, Cabaye's name has came up to fill the void left by Alex Song. A direct comparison would favor Cabaye - though creative, he's more physical, put in more grunt work and run a lot more than Sahin, thus making him the ideal partner to Arteta. Sahin and Arteta are similar in one way - both had grace, but opposition could find that quite easy to exploit.

5. Michael Owen to anywhere(Everton, please?)

Here's a player i had so much heart for. I never can bring myself to say that he's a has-been. I always had hope that he'll rediscover that scoring boot, and he'll get that final England call up. Maybe he will even lead the country in Brazil 2014, reinvented as a Klose-type poacher. So, why Everton? Fans from the 90s and early 2000s would probably know that it's his boyhood club. So just imagine him leading them into Europe once again at the expense of Liverpool. Okay, it could be the other way around as well.

So those are the transfers that i wish happened. Out of five, probably none of those would came close. But if they do, it could be a win-win situation for both the club and the player.

I would have love to include Neymar's possible transfer to Chelsea or Man City (c'mon, those are the only clubs rich/bonkers enough to buy him), but i just don't see it happening. Meanwhile, entertain yourselves to his former Wag, the ridiculously hot girl next door Fernanda Barosso.
