     After weeks of rumours about ongoing interest and positive talks, Milan confirmed the signing of Füllkrug on an initial loan deal from West Ham United just hours after the window had officially opened on January 2.

The aim was to have him ready for Massimiliano Allegri for the match against Cagliari, and he did indeed make the squad. Not only that, but we got a cameo from the German off the bench, and he grew into the game after a rusty start. What can fans expect from a player many West Ham fans were happy to see the back of?

 Entering Week 8 of the college football season, eight AP Top 25 teams fell this past Saturday, causing more shakeup in this week's poll. Ohio State continued to roll, unchallenged as the No. 1 team in the country, beating then-ranked No. 17 Illinois, 34-16, on the road. Miami (Fla.) stayed at No. 2 off a bye week. Yet again, a top 3 team suffered an upset when Oregon lost to Indiana in a top 10 conference matchup. After snapping the Ducks' 22-game home win streak, the Hoosiers moved into the nation's top 3.
