French star forced to join the pink boot brigade

Nicklas Bendtner and Franck Ribery are among those who have volunteered to wear Nike’s ridiculous Mercurial Rosa boot, but now it seems players are being paid loads of money by other comapnies to wear pink forced to wear embarrasing footwear on the pitch.

According to a “ransom video” adressed at Big Phil Scolari, Nicolas Anelka has been kidnapped by a hot French lady who is demanding that the Chelsea striker wear Puma’s new pink effort.

If Scolari refuses to negotiate with the aesthetically-pleasing terrorist, the Brazilian will have to rely on a striker who would rather be anywhere but West London…

Franck Ribery is the Pink Panther

Nicklas Bendtner looked adorable in his little pink boots at the City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday, and now handsome Bayern Munich midfielder Franck Ribery has decided to promote the same boot.

If you fancy a pair of Nike Mercurial Rosa boots, you can get them for a mere £120 at the Nike Store. But be warned: unless you are shit hot or an awesome showboater with a long Robbie Savage-esque mane, you’ll never be able to pull them off in the pub league.

Pink is the new black

This is Nike’s new Mercurial Rosa football boot. Observant readers will notice that the Rosa is pink. Yes… pink! It would takes one confident player to slip on a pair of these.

So, can you guess which Premier League forward has been forced asked by Nike to wear the Rosas, in front of real, live fans?
