EPL Gossip Friday April 29th
I’m still annoyed at football but one thing that has cheered me up was Porto. What a team! To give up a late goal in the first half against Villarreal only to then pop five against them in the second half. What a player Falcao is. He is like the Colombian Ruud van Nistelrooy. He finds space in the box and knows how to score from all angles.
I can watch this Porto team play all day long.
Tottenham are weighing up a shock summer move for Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan.
Full story: the Sun
Not the type of news Steve Bruce wants to wake up too.
Liverpool are plotting a bid for Napoli striker Ezequiel Lavezzi, the Argentina international who has scored 35 goals in 122 Serie A appearances. Daily Mirror
This doesn’t excite me. Fine player but think Lavezzi is an attitude problem waiting to happen.
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says there are no guarantees Carlos Tevez will stay at Eastlands, even if the club fulfil their dream of competing in the Champions League. Daily Mirror
Mancini is planning clear-the-air talks with Tevez at the end of the season to sort out the uncertainty over his future. Daily Express
Speaking of players with an attitude problem. Deep down you have to believe Mancini would love to get rid of the headache that is Carlos Tevez despite how hard he plays on the pitch.
Inter Milan are planning to sell Wesley Sneijder, Samuel Eto’o and Julio Cesar to fund a bid for Arsenal playmaker Cesc Fabregas. TalkSport
Cesc Fabregas would kill it in Serie A but really why would Inter sell the backbone of their team for Fabregas?
Football fan Andy Carpenter is in a Champions League of his own – after sleeping alongside the European Cup. The 32-year-old courier could not believe it when he was asked to pick up the trophy from one exhibition and take it to another the next day. He was so scared of losing it overnight that he made his missus stay in the spare room while he shared his bed with the cup. He said: “I was told not to leave it unattended for a second.” the Sun
Great little story to end the day.
