LOL at the sun

Paper Talk An early one from the tabloids and, according to The Sun, Manchester City are aiming to make a £19million swoop for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso, who has previously been linked with rivals United.

He'll probably get off thanks to character references. Lets just hope Carra, Skrtel or Pennant arent providing them. Fernando Torres can have a go though. :d Im not worried at all.

So you've been to England, spoken to the officer in charge, and seen all the evidence they have? Wasn't it you that was going on about how we can't make any judgments about this, because we don't know what's actually happening...

G'bye armband.
I'm not sure that there's even enough going around evidence-wise to convict him.

He won't go to jail, but it will be interesting to see what the club do if he's found guilty.

Do they have any reason to send him to jail?? It'll be a community service case.

nup he won't go to jail, he'll get a slap on the wrist maybe a bit of community servie IMO

do you guys really think he is going to jail ?

He goes in today. The verdict mightnt reach us until tommorow morning depending on what time he goes in. If its early in the morning it could come through around 8 or 9.

No shit manc12, that was reported about four days ago.

lol with all the other stuff going on everyones forgot about it.

does anyone know what's happening or when it's decided??:-k

Fuck he is too.

gerrards in court :(

pennant has agreed to go on loan till the end of the season to Pompey, with another option for an extra season next year if he likes it

If Juve want to pay 28mil for Kuyt, they can have him. Fuck that would be one hell of a profit. You see that Peligro?? That would be a bigger profit than Spurs made on Keane/Berba :P

I call bullshit.

ESPN is reporting Atletico Madrid have made an offer for Arsenal's Emmanuel Eboue and had it rejected.

But my favourite story from the last 24 hours is this:
"Manchester City have literally paid the price for their impatience in the transfer market after it emerged that £17m new signing Nigel De Jong had a £2.3m release clause in his contract that would have activated in just four months."

Fucking LOL!

Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks is in tentative talks with representatives of the Al Kharafi family, whose head Nasser is the 48th richest man in the world with an £9bn fortune. (Daily Telegraph website, 2201 GMT)

you never know maybe he wants that dirty cash sure his got it but...

THEY ONLY NEED TIMMY CAHILL :cool:

The only way he'd come back to the premier league is to play for Arsenal, which will never happen again.

Its most likely BS because they dont have that much cash to spend and if they are serious in signing Diego which I believe they are there is no way they will fork out that much for Kuyt, with that money they can maybe get Diego or Hamsik who have been long time targets

Goal.com has Madrid claiming they are on the verge of signing Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema.
