After yesterday's departure of Robbie Brady from Manchester United, we can thankfully say that the drought is now over - but it's still little more than a drizzle. Will we finally see moves for Loic Remy,Tom Ince, and maybe even Frank Lampard?

Transfers
Sunderland
have signed former Bursaspor midfielder
Alfred N'Diaye for an undisclosed fee. The Frenchman will wear the number 4 shirt. Darren Ferguson
has taken some of his Dad's youngsters on loan at Peterborough. Manchester United's
Davide Petrucci and
Scott Wootton have signed for one month and half a season respectively. Chelsea youngster
Todd Kane has
started a 30-day loan spell at Blackburn. The right-back was at Preston North End earlier in the season.
The Rumour Mill
QPR and West Ham may struggle to get
David Beckham,
the Sun says, after the England legend was offered a big-money move to Qatar.
The Times (warning: paywall) reports that Reading w0uld like to make a loan move for Manchester United striker
Danny Welbeck. The England international has largely been used as cover for Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie this season.
Tom Ince is finally on his way back to Liverpool,
the Mail says. It was reported a few days back that Liverpool weren't willing to match Blackpool's £6m asking price; now, however, they seem to be happy to do so. Meanwhile, AC Milan have offered to take
Nuri Sahin on loan if the Reds want to end his spell at the club early.
Kenwyne Jones is wanted by Michael Laudrup's Swansea, according to the
Daily Mirror. The 28-year-old Stoke striker is seen as a replacement for Danny Graham, who is being chased by a number of clubs. According to
the Telegraph, Laudrup is also keen on Real Betis midfielder
Jose Canas, who could go to the Welsh club for as little as £0.75m. The Spanish club, like many in La Liga, have serious money issues and it's believed that they would be willing to let the player go. The
same paper says that
Wilfried Zaha is likely to go to Manchester United, after bidding rivals Tottenham decided to distance themselves from the Crystal Palace star.
