Okay, will try to update as best as possible:

Demba Ba  -  Looks like this will either to come to fruition or fall through in the next 36 hours.  Rumor I have heard says that Demba wants to come to Everton, but wages are a sticking point at the moment.  With other clubs armed with cash like Newcastle, this might get ugly.

Leon Osman  -  So it seems that there really was an offer, but it was turned down.  Thank God.  Leon Osman is a proper blue and needs to be kept around.

Leighton Baines  -  This rumor has gone cold, but expect Baines to be linked with any and everybody because he is a bad ass.  People look at the Rooney deal and just assume that we grow talent to sell it for a profit later.  No dice!
