Transfer Talk+News:

QPR have launched a £5million bid to bring striker Djibril Cisse back to England from Lazio.

That would bolster their attack....

Bolton have made an official approach for defender Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha and have offered £5million.

I knew he would stay at City in this transfer window.....

Fulham are interested in West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie but will have to pay £6million for him.

Can he sign for a Top 4 EPL club and fit into the 1st squad?

Or does he have to shock the world and do it with Fulham?

The main question is:

Does he have the ability and consistency to do it week in week out?
