EPL Gossip for Saturday April 19th
Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry’s desire to play Champions League football could see him join Liverpool or Chelsea for £14m. (Daily Mirror)
But Barry could commit his future to Villa depending on the club’s ambitions and transfer targets. (Various)
Better fit for Liverpool if he does want to leave. Personally I think he is in a good spot at Villa. Good coach, good owner who will spend money and more importantly spend it wisely.
Tottenham boss Juande Ramos has stepped up attempts to sign Diego Capel from ex-club Sevilla with Real Madrid also chasing the winger. (Daily Mirror)
Oh yes, I’m sure Sevilla is going to sell to Ramos and Tottenham.
Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson could respond to his job being in jeopardy by telling owner Thaksin Shinawatra he is off to manage Valencia. (The Sun)
Thaksin Shinawatra is a moron. The more he speaks about the game the dumber he looks. Must be nice to scam your way into money, buy a football club and pretend you know what your talking about.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has told midfielder Mathieu Flamini to make up his mind whether he is staying or going and wants to resolve the situation by the end of April. (Various)
What took him so long to lay down the law to Flamini? He has been stringing Arsenal along all season.
Wenger is also uncertain whether William Gallas will continue as captain next season with Cesc Fabregas mooted as his replacement. (Various)
Bad choice for Captain in the first place. Anyone who threatens to score own goals like he did with Chelsea can’t be trusted to be a leader of men.
Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan believes rival Sunderland manager Roy Keane will one day manager Manchester United. (Various)
Maybe so but it won’t be within the next ten years.
Former Manchester United striker and current Blackburn boss Mark Hughes has told Red Devils winger Cristiano Ronaldo to resist the lure of Spain and stay at Old Trafford.
Hughes should know since he played a season in Barcelona. Not many British players can say that.
