EPL Gossip Sunday August 24th
Manchester United have made a £25m take-it-or-leave-it bid to Tottenham for Dimitar Berbatov. (News Of The World)
Don’t believe any of these take it or leave it nonsense. Do believe that Tottenham should sell Berbatov A.S.A.P as his saga is clearly a distraction.
Newcastle are set to offer £12m for Chelsea winger Florent Malouda, if the Blues sign Robinho from Real Madrid. (Mail On Sunday)
Malouda had little interest in going to Roma. That would mean he has no interest in playing for Newcastle.
Michael Owen is willing to let his Newcastle contract, which ends this season, run down as Newcastle want him to take a wage cut to stay.(News Of The World)
Owen holds all the cards here. No sense for him to talk a pay cut now. If Owen can stay injury free which is a big if but none-the-less there will be a team on the open market that will pony up for Owen services.
Blackburn must bid £6m if they hope to land Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant. (News Of The World)
Sinnacle likes Pennant, just not sure I like him at that price tag.
But Arsene Wenger has been told by Liverpool to stump up £16m if he wants Xabi Alonso. (Sunday Express)
Even with yesterday’s loss Wenger is not going to pay that kind of money to Alonso or anyone else.
