Football Transfer Gossip 30th August 2011
It starts to get a bit edgy when there is only a few days of the transfer window left, especially for sides that have done very little. A few teams will be looking to add quickly with so little time left with QPR, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea likely to be the more proactive sides in the final 48 hours.
