His column, published every weekday, offers an insight into the deals which will be done and those that won't - and why. A 5/5-rating means The Insider reckons it's a done deal; 0/5 means The Insider has his mortgage on it not happening.Don't miss your daily instalment of The Insider every weekday through the transfer window here at MailOnline.RaulReal Madrid to Blackburn - The Insider says: 2/5Real deal: Madrid legend Raul (right)Jose Mourinho is expected to do what other previous coaches havefailed and tell Raul that it is time for him to move on from theSantiago Bernabeu. The 33-year-old will not be short of offers as hisability to nab a goal has not left him even if his speed of foot has. Yet he will not come cheap and will be wary of taking too big a stepdown. Blackburn made their move for him over a month ago - using hisfriend Michel Salgado as a point of contact - but believed they hadmore chance of luring his teammate Guti. Both will be extremelydifficult though as the club struggles to find suitable funding fortransfers and remains unsure when a proposed takeover could becompleted. There are offers in Italy, Germany and America's MLS withthe latter being favourite at the moment. Siphiwe TshabalalaKaizer Chiefs to Wigan - The Insider says: 1/5One of the few shining lights to emerge from South Africa'sdisappointing World Cup campaign, Tshabalala caught the eye of a fewscouts and has had football luminaries such as Kevin Keegan singing hispraises. He is 25, has more than 50 caps and is a free agent. Shop window: Tshabalala has plenty of admirers after his World Cup displaysWigan arein the market to find a few gems, notably in wide positions, and havetaken note of Tshabalala. They have Mauro Boselli signed up to play upfront but are wary of ongoing interest in Hugo Rodallega and CharlesN'Zogbia. Birmingham will also show interest in the South African asthey have in his team-mate Katelgo Mphela. Deniz YilmazBayern Munich to Blackpool - The Insider says: 2/5Seasiders swoop: Yilmaz is on Blackpool's radarNot the most likely destination for a player leaving Bayern Munich but Yilmaz is keen to play in the Premier League and, despite their financial restrictions, Blackpool have become attractive to players because of their new status. They will struggle to bring in players and the lower leagues or foreign market will be easier for them to find a bargain or two. Yilmaz is highly rated despite not being a first team regular at Bayern and other clubs are keen, but Blackpool could give him a stepping stone to a bigger stage. His wages are not expensive and neither is his transfer fee which is still negotiable. Rafik HallicheBenfica to West Ham - The Insider says: 1/5The Algeria centre half shot to prominence in the qualifiers for the World Cup when he was hit by stones prior to the decider with Egypt. He has since gone on to prove he is a competent defender at international level with good, solid displays in the World Cup against Slovenia, USA and England. Hammer time: Halliche (right) as been linked with a move to Upton ParkHe has attracted interest in Germany from Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt but is keen to move to England. West Ham have been mentioned but have yet to show strong interest in the 23-year-old and he remains open to offers. Benfica loaned him to Nacional Madeira to gain experience last year and are willing to let him go for around £1m. It could prove a bargain if he develops like international team-mate Madjid Bougherra. More from Simon Jones - The Insider.
