The morning rumour mill

I just thought I'd write an update on the rumours doing the rounds about the players which might be on their way to the Cottage - and those going the other way.

Potential arrivals gate
We are apparently interested in the following:
Jason Roberts, striker, Blackburn
Dejan Stefanovic, defender, Pompey
Sammy Traore, defender PSG
Bobby Zamora, striker, West Ham
Steve Howard, striker, Derby

Sitting in the departure lounge
Liam Rosenior to Reading (possibly in exchange for midfielder Seol Ki-Hyeon)
Papa Bouba Diop to Everton or Portsmouth

I don't know what you think but there seems to be precious little in the way of big central defenders - and time is running out now.
