Today’s gossip, rumours and damned lies
Yesterday, David Villa was supposed to be ushered into White Hart Lane for a cool £32 million, but today all the talk is about Dean Ashton and how they won’t pay West Ham’s £18 million asking price (quite right, too). Fear not though, Spurs fans, Juande Ramos has now decided Atletico Madrid’s Diego Forlan is the right man for the job, according to the journos fishing for a story experts at The Mirror…
Louis Saha to West Ham
The Irons are another side actively trying to bring in another striker, but the Daily Mail reports that they want to wait until the Frenchman’s knee injury clears up before making an offer. Perhaps they don’t want any outside help in their bid to retain the Physio Room Injury League title.
The Spoiler Truth-o-meter: Saha may prefer the ex-United haven at Sunderland, while West Ham’s main target is reportedly still Eidur Gudjohnsen
Andy Johnson latest
The Sun claim that Everton have chopped £5 million off their asking price and will let Roy Hodgson have the striker for just £8 million. The news won’t provide much comfort to Everton fans worried by rumours that the club is in desperate need of any money it can get.
The Spoiler Truth-o-meter: Hard to believe Everton would cut the price so drastically without having a replacement lined up
Julio Santa Cruz to Blackburn
Paul Ince’s decision to bring in Robbie Fowler saw his ability questioned but he has silenced the critics with a stroke of undeniable genius. Blackburn will sign Roque’s 18-year-old brother, also a striker, on a free transfer. Now there’s no way he will leave!
