On Carvalho, Horse was just tweeting what Tony Leen (the journalist that has been monitoring the Carvalho situation for a while now) is feeding us.
btw, Leen just tweeted that Carvalho is becoming more realistic. Sporting value him at €45M but they are willing to sell so that figure could go down quite a bit. its also worth mentioning that the investment bank that owns 40% of Carvalho's rights have been bailed out so it could facilitate a transfer (they have a say on it too)
