There Is Only One Sinnacle

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is ready to offload Emmanuel Adebayor, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Wayne Bridge and Stephen Ireland and will make a £50m bid for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres. The Sun

Yesterday Roberto Mancini wasn’t even going to be the coach of Manchester City and now plans are being made to which players he will get rid of? Unless Stephen Ireland is a bad seed in the dressing room don’t see why Manchester City would want to get rid of him.

Real Madrid are preparing to launch a £20m move for Manchester United’s France defender Patrice Evra, with Arsenal’s Gael Clichy, Chelsea’s Ashley Cole and Fiorentina’s Juan Manuel Vargas the other left-backs on the Spanish side’s summer shortlist. Daily Mail

With Fiorentina unlikely to make it to European football next season it’s much easier for them to sign Juan Manuel Vargas. Out of the four players mentioned I’d lay a dollar or two on Vargas being the one Real Madrid makes a bid for.

Barcelona are ready to make a summer bid for Newcastle defender Steven Taylor, who is valued at about £8m. Daily Mirror

How do you react to this if your Steven Taylor who has spent the last year playing against the likes of Plymouth and Blackpool?

Manchester City could make a move for Bayern Munich’s 32-year-old striker Luca Toni, who is currently on loan at Italian side Roma. imscouting.com

Argentina striker Carlos Tevez is on the verge of demanding a transfer from Manchester City, with Liverpool ready to pay £18m. footylatest.com

Birmingham will make a £5m bid for Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster if Manchester City’s Joe Hart does not return to them on loan next season. (The Sun)

Foster didn’t exactly grab the bull by the horns during his early season run at Manchester United but he would make a good plan B for Birmingham when Joe Hart leaves.

Manchester United have made a move for Estudiantes striker Mauro Boselli, whose arrival will be made possible by the sale of Bulgarian forward Dimitar Berbatov in the summer. footylatest.com

If Berbatov leaves the Manchester United strike force will be Rooney, the ghost of Michael Owen and a bunch of strikers few in Europe have heard of.

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy is considering a loan bid for Tottenham striker Robbie Keane, who is having a temporary spell at Celtic. However, Spurs would prefer a permanent £8m deal. Daily Mail

No way Tottenham will lose any more value on Robbie Keane by sending him out on loan for another year.

Liverpool will not stand in the way of manager Rafael Benitez if he wishes to join Italian side Juventus in the summer. The Independent

They would have a big Texas BBQ if they are freed from having to pay Benitez the rest of his contract.
