EPL Gossip Wednesday March 2nd

West Ham’s on-loan striker Demba Ba says he turned down a more lucrative offer from Russia to come to England and that his former side Hoffenheim have ruined his reputation by suggesting he is driven by money. “The truth is that I could have earned much more money elsewhere,” he said. (Sport Bild)

West Ham should send the injured Robbie Keane back at the end of this season. They should however tie up Demba Ba.

AC Milan have confirmed that they are interested in signing defender Philippe Mexes if he chooses not to sign a new deal with present club Roma.

In other words the price has gone up if Roma are able to resign him. Mexes is good as gone however.

Daniel Sturridge has hinted he could try to make his loan move from Chelsea to Bolton permanent. The striker has scored four goals in as many league games and says he is revelling in the freedom given to him by Trotters boss Owen Coyle. Metro

I’d be annoyed if I was Sturridge never getting a fair chance to crack the Chelsea over two seasons. I don’t blame him if he wants to leave Chelsea.

Arsenal are hoping to arrange a swap deal that would result in Brazilian midfielder Denilson moving to Juventus and his compatriot Felipe Melo heading in the opposite direction. talkSPORT

Why? Neither player is world class. Melo is just an older more expensive version of Denilson.

Liverpool are leading Tottenham and Manchester United in the race for France and Toulouse midfielder Moussa Sissoko. Daily Mail

You know come the summer Liverpool will be singing one or two players from France.

Chelsea have stepped up their interest in Napoli’s Slovakian playmaker Marek Hamsik, sending scouts to watch the 23-year-old in his side’s 3-0 defeat by AC Milan. talkSPORT

They didn’t pick the best of games but Hamsik is a great player, mind you one who won’t come cheap.

    Moussa Sissoko, not sure about him, I’d put a priority on Ashley Young, we desperately need a decent RW, with him and Martin Kelly marauding up and down Right Wing, they could provide plenty of ammo for Carroll. Suarez I think can cover the left as he likes cutting in from there.

    I think we should also ship Joe Cole out, he just doesn’t “fit”, I rather see Dani Pacheco be given playing time over him, he can hardly do any worse, especially after the exceptional performances in last summers U19 Euros, even though they did lose to Les Bleus in te Final.
