Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Main goal: Champions’ League qualification

What they need to secure it: A new midfield and replacement for Patrice Evra. Juan Mata will add creativity and David Moyes is also targeting Juventus’s Arturo Vidal and Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Patrick Herrmann, with a longer-term eye on Ilkay Gündogan of Borussia Dortmund. Enquiries have been made for Luke Shaw of Southampton; Atletico Madrid’s Filipe Luis is another option. So is Toni Kroos of Bayern Munich.

How badly do they need to buy: 10/10

What have they actually done?

In: Juan Mata (Chelsea, £37.1million)

Outs: Fabio (Cardiff, undisclosed), Anderson (Fiorentina, loan), Jack Barmby (Hartlepool, loan), Wilfried Zaha (Cardiff, loan), Sam Byrne, Charni Ekangamene (both Carlisle, loan), Tyler Blackett, Tom Thorpe (both Birmingham, loan), Tom Lawrence (Yeovil, loan) Federico Macheda (Birmingham City, loan), Will Keane (QPR, loan), Sam Johnstone (Doncaster Rovers, loan), Ryan Tunnicliffe (Fulham, undisclosed), Larnell Cole (Fulham, undisclosed)
