EVERY CLUB SEEMS to have taken a break today, with a considerable dearth of transfer rumours.
Never fear though, as ‘Mr Reliable’ himself, Wesley Sneijder, has once again reared his bald, ugly head. Manchesters City and United are still vying to sign him.
Like Sneijder, Carlos Tevez won’t be entering any beauty contests anytime soon and City are said to be offering him as bait in their attempts to sign Sneijder.
Also, someone has bid £40m for Javier Pastore. We don’t know who.
However, after months of tireless investigative journalism, the Mirror have deduced that the mystery club is probably either Man City or Chelsea. After all, the former have been linked with a £40m move for the player for almost a year now.
Liverpool will offer a 210-day trial to 17-year-old Mexican striker Marco Bueno, applying the logic that anyone who is young, Mexican and a striker may well, with those three things in common, be the next Javier Hernandez.
As more or less everyone who follows Arsenal begs Arsene Wenger to sign a tough-tackling, no-nonsense British centre-back, the Frenchman persists in trying to buy obscure foreign full-backs – Bruno Uvini in this instance.
Franck Ribery, once a regular in the transfer gossip columns, is now no longer good enough to attract anyone’s interest. Except Arsenal that is.
In the absence of rumours that are of any substance whatsoever, there are players coming out and saying various stuff in the papers, which leads me to wonder why they have to “come out” to say it and where they “come out” to. Football parlance can be very weird sometimes.
Anyhow, John Terry has come out and said he wants to manage Chelsea some day, dismissing talk of him ever leaving the club in the process.
Meanwhile, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has said he is ready to play in the Premiership and Rafael van der Vaart claims Tottenham are good enough to compete for silverware without Luka Modric.
Finally, Snoop Dogg was reportedly miffed after he failed to receive a Man United or City shirt following his recent tour in Britain.
