Moutinho switch falls through

Falkirk striker Pedro Moutinho has revealed he missed out on a move to Turkey after a problem with his travel plans.
The Bairns had accepted a £200,000 offer for the 28-year-old forward from Kayserispor, but Moutinho will now be remaining in Scotland after a delayed flight meant he missed the Turkish transfer window.
"I've been in football long enough to know these things happen," he told the Daily Record.
"But I'm more than happy with life in Scotland and I'm moving into a house next week so this hasn't been a huge setback.
"I was going over to have a medical and discuss terms but now it's not happening and I'll just get my head back down to do my best for Falkirk."
Moutinho overcame a serious knee injury to become an integral part of the Falkirk first-team during four years with the SPL club.
