EPL Gossip for Saturday June 14th
Real Madrid star Robinho is the shock new name at the top of new Chelsea boss Phil Scolari’s shopping list. (Daily Star)
Rolls eyes. These newspaper have the same insider information as I have regarding Chelsea transfers and that is none. In a couple of days Pato from A.C Milan will be the new hot rumour.
Chelsea are aiming to take advantage of a cash crisis at AC Milan by luring Brazilian midfielder Kaka from the San Siro. (Daily Mail)
The Italian PM owns A.C Milan. They’ll be alright cash wise. No Leeds United fire sale will happen.
Frank Lampard has edged nearer the Stamford Bridge exit door with Portugal playmaker Deco set to arrive for £15million from Barcelona. (Daily Mirror)
Lampard might as well pack his bags now.
Chelsea will battle with Manchester City to capture Brazil star Ronaldinho, who Scolari managed at the 2002 World Cup. (Sun)
There is no battle between Chelsea and Manchester City. If Ronaldinho really wanted to play for Manchester City he would of signed. Ronaldinho is hoping for a lifeline with a top European club and it appears he may of found it.
Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o is another possible target for Scolari, although they could face a battle with AC Milan. (Daily Telegraph).
No enough space in London for the egos of both Eto’o and Drogba.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to go back to Tottenham with a £25million bid for striker Dimitar Berbatov. (Sun)
Better ways to spend 25 million. Where is Berbatov agent claiming top clubs are after his player. It’s been all quiet on that front for awhile.
Manchester City will offer Ronaldinho £120,000 a week to come to Eastlands. (Sun)
They can offer him a big pizza pie too but it won’t lead to any amore.
Newcastle have moved for Zenit St Petersburg’s Russia striker Andrei Arshavin, who is available at £11million. (Daily Mirror)
This would be a great move for Newcastle. A team who is known for not making great moves or having awful luck depending on your viewpoint, in the transfer market.
Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate has lost interest in Tottenham keeper Paul Robinson. (Daily Star)
Haven’t we all
Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso’s expected move to Juventus is likely to go ahead now a fee of £14million has been settled. (Daily Telegraph).
I like Alonso but that is a good piece of business by Liverpool.
