Manchester Utd to bid for Ibrahimovic, Sunderland make £11m Crouch offer
The latest transfer rumours, gossip and damned lies
Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Manchester Utd
A report in this morning’s Mirror suggests that Manchester Utd will give the Swedish striker the chance to be anonymous in big games play in the Premiership next season. Are they trying to say that Michael Owen can’t be relied upon to bang in 30 goals in 2009/10?
The Spoiler truth-o-meter: United could do with a ‘box office’ signing this summer, but Ibrahimovic’s agent has implied that the Inter star will cost the club more than the £80m they recouped for Cristiano Ronaldo. In the real world though, he would probably cost around £30m.
Sebastien Bassong to Arsenal
The French defender admits that he has been approached by the Gunners in today’s Daily Mail, but insists that “nothing is concrete”. Spurs and Manchester City are also linked with the 22-year-old, but that’s probably because they’re linked with absolutely everyone.
The Spoiler truth-o-meter: Surely Bassong won’t be playing Championship football next season.
Abbey Clancy’s boyfriend to Sunderland
According to The Times, Pompey are “considering their response” to an £11m offer from Sunderland for Peter Crouch, who is said to be displeased about the uncertainty surrounding the future of the south coast club.
The Spoiler truth-o-meter: We expect Portsmouth to sell, but they’ll probably hold out in an attempt to drive the price up.
