There Is Only One Sinnacle

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has doubts as to whether to sign Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero as he weighs up if the Argentine is worth £40m. Daily Mirror

I believe Abramovich is still in a haze after Russian failed to make the World Cup. Poor Big Boss.

Chelsea are willing to sign Middlesbrough winger Adam Johnson for £4m and loan him back to the Teesside outfit.

Middlesbrough are in a tight spot with Adam Johnson who is out of contact at the end of the season. It’s unlikely Johnson will resign with Boro unless they are promoted but then they risk the chance of losing him for nothing.

Bolton are lining up a £7m January transfer window bid for Celtic midfielder Scott Brown. : Daily Mirror

Back to the point they mentioned how McShane was an accident waiting to happen for Ireland. Richard Dunne was clearing crosses out of the box all game long. The one time he misses it, McShane is out of position and we all know how the story ended up.
