EPL Gossip for Friday June 20th

Manchester United winger Ronaldo has talked up his chances of joining Real Madrid this summer after saying that “the possibilities” of a transfer were “great”. (Various)

Ronaldo might as well walk around the streets of Funchal with a Real Madrid shirt on at this point.

Arsenal could attempt to sign Russia’s Andrei Arshavin as a replacement for Emmanuel Adebayor, should the Togo striker move to Barcelona or AC Milan. (Daily Telegraph)

How is Arshavin a replacement for Adebayor. A perfect replacement for Hleb, yes but Arshavin and Adebayor are two completely different types of players.

Arsenal are back in the hunt for Newcastle striker Obafemi Martins but are refusing to pay the £15m asking price. (The Sun)

When the Darren Bent’s of the world sign for 16 million pounds it’s only natural for Newcastle to ask 15 million for Martins.

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez wants Spain midfielder David Silva, who is currently playing for cash-strapped Valencia. (Daily Mirror)

Well atleast Silva will know what it’s like to play for a cash strapped team.

Dutch playmaker Rafael van der Vaart says he will not consider a move to Manchester or Chelsea until his country’s Euro 2008 campaign is over. (The Sun)

As he should, it’s a long summer and there is only alittle over a week left in Euro 2008 anyway.

Sunderland manager Roy Keane is considering a move for French midfielder Peter Luccin, who could be released by relegated Real Zaragoza. (Daily Mail)

Luccin was one of the biggest busts last year at Zaragoza. As a free transfer however it’s of little risk to Keane and Sunderland.

Deportivo centre half Fabricio Coloccini is a target for Newcastle and West Ham. (The Sun)

Good enough to crack the Argentina national team, good enough to play for either Newcastle and West Ham. Still only 26 years old too.

Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has been told he can leave Stamford Bridge, with Portsmouth favourite to secure his signature. (The Independent)

Wright-Phillips should of left on his own before he is pushed out. Never could crack the starting 11 for long periods of time at Chelsea.
