EPL Gossip Friday April 16th
Real Madrid plan to make a stunning £90m bid for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney – not to mention wages of £250,000 a week for five years – and also have England boss Fabio Capello in their sights. The Sun
Would the Glazer cash in on Rooney? Would love to see the reaction from the Green and Gold club if they did. Never understood the Capello rumours. Been there and done that, besides he was fired even after guiding Real Madrid to a title.
United are keeping a close eye in James Milner’s contract negotiations at Aston Villa as Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson prepares to reshape his Old Trafford squad this summer. Daily Telegraph
Makes more sense then trying to go after David Silva. Milner is enjoying the type of headlines Ashley Young use to get last year.

Ninis broke into the Panathinaikos setup at age 15 so it doesn’t shock me that bigger clubs are now looking at him a couple of years later.
Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic is a £15m target for AC Milan, who believe the Blues will bid for Inter Milan full-back Maicon this summer. Daily Mail
Just can’t see this happening, can’t put my finger on it however. Yes real insightful.
Fabregas and Wenger have been left incensed by Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood’s claim that Fabregas “would not even get in” the Barcelona team. The Sun
It’s a stupid thing to say by Peter Hill-Wood but Fabregas wouldn’t be a lock to start every game.
Young Gunners midfielder Jack Wilshere has told Wenger he wants to stay on loan at Bolton if he cannot get first-team football at the Emirates Stadium. The Sun
I’d want to stay at Bolton too if every second game my coach mentions that I should be on the England team.
Sunderland striker Darren Bent is to wed Sir Alex Ferguson’s former daughter-in-law Nadine Ferguson, who separated from Sir Alex’s son Darren in 2007. Nadine announced the news on social networking site Twitter. The Sun
Guess Darren Bent can nix any future move to Manchester United.
