Brazilian probably won’t be kissing his badge in Spain any more

Brazilian man-’o-sex Robinho is determined to push Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Barry all the way with a late charge to make his prolonged transfer saga the most irritating of the summer. The winger told Spanish news agency EFE:

“I want to leave. I’ve told the president, the directors and the coach. I want to play in the Premier League. Chelsea have a great squad, a great team and their offer is good for me and for the team.”

Real Madrid have announced that the player is not for sale, but it’s hard to see Chelsea heeding that warning after the Spanish club spent most of the summer ignoring similar proclamations from Manchester United about Ronaldo.

Daniel Agger sets Liverpool up for a fall
Liverpool’s Danish defender Daniel Agger has told his teammates that they can’t afford to drop points at Anfield this season and went as far as to say that they should aim to win every game. He said:

“Drawing too many games at home was one of the reasons we didn’t challenge for the title last season…we are a big enough club to say that we want to win all our home games.”

Our handsome friends over at chickendinner think that plan could fall at the first hurdle.
