Out of the woods and into the Forest? Russia don't seem to be showing Harry the love he so badly craves with Fabio Capello now 4/7 favourite to succeed Advocaat so could Harry now be taking his car window off to Nottingham? Steve Cotterill was sacked by the new owners and Redknapp was introduced at 2/1 to taeover but has drifted to 16/1. Darren Ferguson is going the other way, and is now evens favourite from 6/1. Other names mentioned include Mick McCarthy, Roy Keane, Stuart Pearce and Alex McLeish. Relegation specialist McLeish failed with this application for Liverpool so will hope for a more positive response.

Over in Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers may be hoping that his new brand of tiki-taka will sufficiently impress Xabi Alonso to come back to Anfield. The Real Madrid midfielder is 8/1 to return to the Reds.

One selling point could be that Xabi won't have to hoof the ball in the direction of man-monster Andy Carroll. Carroll is being linked with a plethora of lower half Premier League sides with Aston Villa the latest to enter the betting at 5/1.

A different beast entirely, gentleman first, flamboyant forward second, Dimitar Berbatov looks set to join Malaga. Berbatov is currently 8/11.

On flamboyant strikers, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the latest subject of Parisian pestering. The Qatari owners have been throwing cash like confetti in the direction os Berlusconi in the hope of luring Zlatan and Thiago Silva to PSG. Man City are out to 4/1 from yesterday's 6/4 to sign Ibrahimovic with PSG 4/11 favourites.

Man United meanwhile may be set to do a deal for Dembele. The Fulham forward is 1/2 to join before the end of August. Finally, Arsenal have apparently withdrawn their bid for Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila with Arsene Wenger realising he still can wait until the last day of the window before paying an inflated sum for a player of lesser ability.
