Transfer Talk: Spurs to wave bye-bye to Aaron Lennon and Paul Robinson
Middlesbrough managed to pull themselves away from a relegation scrap at the right time, but they’ll have just enough rope to hang themselves next season if they bring Paul Robinson on board. Here’s today’s rumours from the north east and beyond:
Thierry Henry to Arsenal
While the BBC have shown us video of Henry himself saying the only Premier League club he would play for is Arsenal, The Sun chose to print a quote-free, substance-free story insisting he was going to Newcastle to be the new Alan Shearer. Bad timing, red top rumour monkeys.
Antonio Valencia to Liverpool
It must have been a nervy morning for Liverpool fans as they heard Rafa Benitez wanted to sign a Wigan player – “please don’t bring Heskey back” – luckily for them, Rafa is looking to sign his hundredth winger instead.
Aaron Lennon to Manchester City
City have never really got over the loss of Shaun Wright-Phillips to Chelsea’s reserve team, so now they plan to bring in the half-an-inch shorter replica.
Paul Robinson to Middlesbrough
Gareth Southgate has shown what he learnt when playing under Steve McLaren by choosing to replace his Champions League-bound keeper Mark Schwarzer with the seemingly Championship-bound former England number one.
Carlos Kameni to Aston Villa
Villa are hoping to hijack Tottenham’s bid to sign the Cameroonian shot-stopper and at a bargain £5 million, it is obviously far more tempting than potentially paying eight figures for England flop Scott Carson.
Steve Sidwell to go nowhere
It was almost a year ago that Sidwell insisted he wasn’t at Chelsea for the money and was fighting for a first-team place, but now with half of the Premier League chasing him, he suddenly seems content to sit in the reserves and collect his wages.
Luka Modric to Newcastle United
Okay so we told you about this one yesterday, but it’s gathering momentum after Croatia boss Slaven Bilic, who once made the inspired decision to leave one relegation-battling Premier League team for another, advised his starlet to join the Toon Army.

I don’t know what’s funnier; the predicted top 5 finish or the awful spelling, grammar and punctuation of this Spurs lot.
Look forward to giving you gobshites an end of season drubbing come the weekend.

True, RedbyDawn, but I think you have improperly used a semicolon. A hyphen or full colon would have been more appropriate. Better luck next time, yeah?
