Football transfer rumours - QPR wonderkid to Manchester United?

Monday morning is the Mill's black hole. The papers are crammed with reports of the weekend action on the pitch – and, really, who cares about that? – so tittle-tattle is harder to find than . It's the sort of day that even PLYMOUTH MOVE FOR BARNET ACE * in a headline has the Mill in hot flushes. Still, it's not all bad news for the Mill – there are a few stories for us to get our teeth into. The Sun reveals that England's World Cup training camp in South Africa "is a dump" . Closer inspection of the paper's pictures reveals that in actual fact it's a building site rather than a municipal waste-disposal facility – there are no bin bags full of hedge trimmings or broken furniture, but there are a few Portakabins and some sand. Manchester United are at the head of a queue of clubs – Manchester City, Arsenal and Fulham wait behind, looking at their watches and clicking their tongues – chasing the 15-year-old QPR wonderkid Raheem Sterling . There's a joke here somewhere about the value of Sterling, but the Mill's damned if it can find it. With Neil Warnock and his mud-crusted wellingtons set to join QPR this week, the next pair of shoes outside the Crystal Palace manager's office will be the tassled brown loafers of Gareth Southgate . Steve Coppell 's shiny winklepickers could be parked outside Selhurst Park's new director of football suite. Wayne Rooney 's younger brother John , currently with Macclesfield, has got himself a trial at Derby County, Hamilton's James McArthur could be the new Graham Dorrans and is heading to West Brom for £2m in the summer, while Sunderland have lined up a £3.5m move for Portsmouth's Marc Wilson should they get permission to sell players outside of the transfer window. The Mill can but dream. And to wrap up the weekend rumours: Chelsea are ready to make a £36m move for Benfica's Angel di María , Manchester United will splash £10m on Sporting's Miguel Veloso, Stephen Ireland will join Arsenal in the summer, Manchester City will make a £140m double bid for Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard, and flying pigs have been spotted over Norfolk. *Albert Adomah. Out of contract. Blackpool also interested.
