Tottenham are set to make a cash bid for Arsenal's unsettled midfielder Lassana Diarra as soon as
the transfer window opens. (Daily Mail) ...And Spurs manager Juande Ramos is set to plunge the
future of his current crop of strikers in doubt when he bids to buy Sevilla striker Alexander
Kerzhakov. (Times) Derby's Paul Jewell is after [.

The world of Premiership transfer gossip is full of nonsense, but some nonsense is more interesting
that the other nonsense. Speculation is rife in the likes of the Mirror, Daily Mail, Times, Sun
and... err... Tribal Football all do their best to predict and/or completely make up the future.

Liverpool could halt their plans for their brand spanking new £700m Stanley Park stadium because
of the ‘funding for it has been hit by the volatile credit markets' – Liverpool fans shouldn't
start warbling in despair just yet though – have a look at the source – which slightly
diminished the reliability of this story.
A host of transfer rumours for Saturday... Tottenham's Pascal Chimbonda is being stalked by both
Manchester City and Newcastle who are eager to snap him up in the January transfer frenzy. (Daily
Mirror) If Big Sam gets booted into touch as Newcastle manager then ex-Spurs gaffer Martin Jol is
ready to bring his avuncular ogre-like features [.

Today's Transfer Rumour roundup is guest written by Sportingo.com's Mark Apostolou. All the latest
gossip; Manchester United stand firm on Heinze to Liverpool, but there's lots of movement around
Newcastle, Real Madrid, Sunderland, Portsmouth and Rangers. Antonio Cassano, the Real Madrid
striker, has been linked with West Ham, Spurs and Bolton (The Times), interesting news indeed.
Sportingo's Mark Rivlin brings us some transfer rumours to spice up our Sunday... The Sunday
newspapers are as ever full of football transfer rubbish (sorry, news). This bulletin of rumours
also includes snippets from Birmingham, Wigan, Bolton and Valencia. Tottenham coach Juande Ramos is
planning a £30m raid on Valencia's David Villa as he is worried [.
Part one of today's blizzard of transfer rumours... Aston Villa, Bolton, and Newcastle are set for
a January transfer scuffle over Sporting Braga's Peruvian defender Alberto Rodriguez. The 22
year-old is nicknamed 'El Mudo' (The Mute), but his £5.8million transfer fee could mean that
Newcastle will have to drop out of the race for his signature.
Some football fans constantly have their heads in the clouds. Dreaming of European glory and
talking up the team when all else can quite clearly see, their side are distinctly average. We all
know 'em, but some sides are more guilty than others. Now, for pub ammo and abuse, we have some
proof! Littlewoods Football Pools (www.footballpools.com) has just produced the new ‘Football
Fan-tasy' report which reveals which football fans live in the biggest world of fantasy.
Bolton midfielder Gavin McCann favours the balding badger look these days, so much so that he only
just made it into the Horror Hair category and was almost a Shit Lookalike for Pepe Le Pew! He has
always had a receding hairline, but it has now receded so far that it is practically in-growing.
Against Middlesbrough yesterday, McCann was shamed into covering his hair in a bandage (OK, the
clash of heads might have influenced his decision slightly).
The second half of our big batch of Sunday transfer rumours... Liverpool's interest in Czech
Republic defender Tomas Ujfalusi has abrubtly stopped after he rebuffed a £500,00 move to join
Rafa's men...for now... (Observer) Manchester City's Sven Goran Eriksson is planning to splash his
vast amounts of cash and swoop for Arsenal's Lassana Diarra, Athletic Bilbao's Andoni [.
The first part of our joyous Christmas transfer rumours bundle... Arsene Wenger quite fancies a bit
of Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov, and isn't afraid to mount an audacious bid. Wenger said that
Berbatov's performance in the weekend's North London derby was excellent, and apparently this means
he'll fight tooth and nail to gobble him up in January.

Here is the first of five installments of Because I Think...'s English Premiership 2007-08 Preview.
They are numbered in order of predicted place of finish, therefore Because I Think... believes that
Wigan, Sunderland, and Derby will be heading down this year...
ENJOY! I will stagger these out until the first day of the season! Please comment all you want.
A rotten grab-bag of five month old stale transfer chocolate for you all today. [James, while
kicking Kruge off of the cliff's edge] James T. Kirk: I... have had ENOUGH... of YOU! [Kruge falls
screaming into the lavascape below] The Tottenham-Berby saga is so lip gnawingly boring that in our
delirious transfer mind we have started to [.
Fear not football obsessives, the transfer portal will open up very soon! Jurgen Klinsmann, a man
apparently much admired by Gillett and Hicks, could replace Rafa Benitez at Liverpool this summer.
Meanwhile Rafa is asking for a contract extension... (The Sun) Arsenal ‘keeper Jens Lehmann is so
enraged when he watches Manuel Almunia play in HIS [.

Lets all take a hearty swig from these potent rumours and forget all about bumbling balding
orangutan Steve McClaren. Villa boss Martin O'Neill has sidestepped any links with the England job
and is instead after a host of additions to his club team. O'Neill is looking to grab Peter Crouch
and John Arne Riise [.
Sportingo's Mark Apostolou gives us his daily take on the murky puddle that are football transfer
rumours. It's all go in the transfer news gossip and rumour mill – Crouch heads Rafa's Anfield
clearout; Defoe, Berbatov and Bent up for grabs; N'Zogbia wanted by Wenger while Manchester City
Everton, Fulham, Bolton, Aston Villa, and [.
Arsene Wenger is keen to bring Barnsley keeper Heinz Muller to Arsenal. The cost? A very Arsene
Wenger-like £1m. This move would also pave the way for Teutonic gaffe-lord Jens Lehmann to move
back to Borussia Dortmund. (Various) ...And there is "no chance" of a Cesc Fabregas move to Real
Madrid according to Cesc's agent.
A pesky new swarm of transfer rumours has buzzed into the Sportingo office, and we've bagged them
all for Caught Offside including Chelsea's Avram Grant wanting a bulging pick-and-mix bag of
players in January. The goodies the Blues boss is after include £2.5m Hertha Berlin striker Marko
Pantelic if Didier Drogba and Saloman Kalou swan [...]
Ok, first off let's get all this England manager guff out of the way before getting on to the usual
transfer rumour frenzy: Chelsea captain John Terry wants Mourinho to manage England (The Sun) with
the Special One telling the FA to 'make him an offer he can't refuse'. (Daily Express) ...Whilst [.
A yuletide pick and mix bag of transfer tales, as well as some mulled whine from Didier Drogba and
Nic Anelka... Sir Alex Ferguson is set for a huge January transfer splurge, the Man Utd boss will
offer footballing ne'er-do-wells Wes Brown and Louis Saha as well as £6m in cash for Spurs [...]
Not sure if Torres will score for Liverpool? Having second doubts about your all-Wigan backline?
Reckon Sunderland will thump Tottenham? Our good friends at FantasyFootballScout help you get your
Fantasy Football team ready. If you don't already have one, you can sign up for the CaughtOffside
league. The big kick-off is almost with us and yet, [...
Sportingo.com's Mark Apostolou continues his guest coverage of the Premiership Transfer Window.
With only two days to go to the big kick-off rumours and gossip aplenty, news of lots of
last-minute shopping from Manchester City, Newcastle, Bolton, Sunderland, Fulham and Rangers. Alan
Curbishley must be in some kind of Dreamland. After 15 years of skimping [.
Well, It's finally surfaced. Here's video of Danny's first goal for Bolton versus Fulham in their
Carling Cup match from earlier this week. Unfortunately, the quality's not that great and there's
no replay, but from what you can see, it's quite the stunner. It's the first goal on the video.
Cheers.
The ever-popular Three Things series has expanded to include matchday action. Some people saw this
match in all its live glory, others on the telly, and some not at all. Either way everyone probably
saw it differently and here's your chance to tell each other what you learned. So forget the
numpteys at Sky Sports or [.
Today's first batch of rumours is a heady brew of potent guff and noxious waffle. Bundesliga's
Wolfsburg are ready and waiting to bag Jens Lehmann and rid Arsenal of the German's interminable
moans.(Mirror) ...Whilse bovine teammate Philippe Senderos won't have to face a cull until next
summer, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will delay sending the Swiss defender [.
The big kick-off is nigh and we don't have a thing to wear. Well, we do now. This is part one of a
bumper Kit Parade Special from Pies. Arsenal This looks a little familiar... wait
a cotton picking minute! Yes, Arsenal have retained last season's home kit for a further season. It
makes my job a bit harder because you have all seen it before, but I'd be delighted if I was a
Gooner.
HEROES Rob Green Saved a last-gasp penalty (pictured) to snatch a point for West
Ham at Pompey. Surely Green now has to be taken seriously for England's No.1 shirt instead of Paul
Robinson? Cesc Fabregas Showed off the full extent of his freakish maturity and
talent with a wonderfully authoritative performance at Anfield.
It's a match day so I'm not going to indulge as much as usual. First off, the Academy hailed
brimstone and fire on the young Wanderers of Bolton to secure a 5-2 victory. Nathan Eccleston and
David Amoo notched a brace apiece with Marvin Pourie adding the fifth. You know, I've heard of the
latter two kids, but this Eccleston seems to be the business.
Before I get to my idea I just want to put something out there, not just for this post but for
every other post I make in the future. There is a reason I don't call "soccer" "football" on this
site. As an American, I already have "football" and that's college football and the NFL, where they
kick, punt, run, and throw the ball.
Lots of rumours and transfer gossip in today's tabloids, as ever. This bulletin also features
Manchester City, Derby County, Sporting Lisbon, AC Milan, West Brom, QPR and Sheffield Wednesday.
Sam Allardyce has finally clocked what the whole of Newcastle and most of football has been
muttering for weeks now – his Tyne is nearly [.
The 25-year-old striker from Norway, signed recently by Bolton Wanderers, has big fly-away hair
that reminds me of Simpsons' villain Sideshow Bob. Thanks to Pies regular Cole for the spot.
Scenario 1 Robbie Keane was sent off for a clumsy tackle that warranted a yellow.
Keane is a mouthy sod, always in the ear of any ref, but he is not a dirty player. (Watch the
incident here) Scenario 2 El Hadji Diouf was shown a yellow – which he
protested against, like the spit-happy muppet that he is – for an X-rated tackle on Alvaro
Arbeloa that deserved a straight red.
The Premier League is only a week young, but we've already seen some cracking goals being scored. A
couple that caught the eye were debutant Oliver Kapo's Exocet missile against Chelsea and Andy
Todd's nostalgic diving header, which sealed a late equaliser against Portsmouth. But, the pick of
the bunch so far has to be Obafemi Martin's overhead kick for Newcastle against Bolton last
Saturday.
