I don't usually do updates on a Saturday morning but today i've a few minutes to spare while I await breakfast, served by my wench. Which goes to show that going in big on a Friday night can sometimes have knock on benefits.

Yesterday saw waaay too much attention given to stuff printed in those well known bastions of bullshit, the Star and the Mail.

Not all that much to give you but what there is starts with some Leandro ITK...

All done bar medical, everyone finally happy

Around 12m with his famous add ons, source thinks he will be here for start of EPL aswell, this was also a stumbling block

Well funtime Friday was a washout..........All done is very nads on the line.

We are privately entertaining interest. Inter extremely interested. I was like wtf but as it's from my source I can't do anything but believe it to be gospel such is the calibre of my source

COYS
Every player has his price.

Our final piece of info came from opensaysme with news on a new scout...

Bringing in a new youth scout.

And that's that i'm afraid. Another very quiet day.

In other news...........

Chelsea have made discreet enquiries into the availability of Manchester City's Carlos Tevez, who criticised life in the north west and says he would not return to Eastlands. The west London club believe the Argentine may prefer life in the capital, but would have to pay at least £50m for the striker.

Come to the smoke Carlos, the birds down here are more sophisticated. Well, their tattoos are spelt right anyway.

Bayern Munich have followed up their interest in Tranmere's Dale Jennings, 18, with an offer. Jennings is desperate to join the Germans but is being forced to wait as the clubs agree a fee

From Tranmere to Bayern. You bet he's desperate to join them. Interesting that such a big club are shopping in our lower leagues. Hardly Harrods is it?

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger could have won the race to sign Lille striker Gervinho in a deal reported to be worth about £10m.

Yeah. We offer £12m and that vulture faced perv 'wins the race' by bidding less. Note to Talksport. Get rid of that fat squeeky voiced ponce you've got masquerading as a reporter.

Aston Villa have shifted their attentions to Everton manager David Moyes after they were rejected by Roberto Martinez, who opted to remain at the DW Stadium.

I reckon you can add Coyle, Hughton and possibly even Rogers to that list.

And we end with........

I overheard some kids talking about 'unlimited bundles' on their mobile phones yesterday.

Fuck me, when I was at school you only had a bundle when someone scored a goal.


Donate! I've set a target of £10 today, surely we can reach that?​

Was hoping for at least one day without a "Modric to..." story.
Sadly, I'm wrong.

I think we should be able to bet our vcash on players we've been linked with. If they sign, we get the winnings.

I'm actually hoping we finally shift some players. Now Sunderland have some money hopefully they will be interested in some. If we start another season with the likes of jenas, keane and bentley on the bench I will be very sad!

According to the BBC roundup today, Man City are buying Modric, Pastore, Aguero, Sanchez and Gervinho.

That is a very very silly football club.

But it's not really, is it? A football club, I mean.
It's a billionaire oil sheikh's toy.

At least if city come calling for modric we can ramp the price up to £80m+.

That'll either scare them off, or they'd be silly enough to pay it and then we'd have a WAR CHEST!!!!!!!!

Mmmmm, £80mil........

Falcao £25mil
gervinho £14mil
Leandro £12mil
Parker £6mil
Eriksson £15mil

Total: £74mil



......hypothetical speaking of course....

City wants Sanchez and Sneidjer too me thinks
Chelsea and Real wants Tevez (coz that plonker doesn't want to come back to Man City)...Just a question, why doesn't he move his family to England?

Wife doesn't want to move to England. I read ages ago for language reasons. Probably why he would prefer Spain. There is also a bigger community of Argentine players over there - and at RM in particular.

While this may be very mouth watering, you forgot the wages. Yes we could buy them but could we pay all their wages?
