Footballers? They're bright ones, arent' they? My favourite one is that genial wit and "Spice Boys" member, Jason McAteer. There are a few of these out there about him, but the one I always remember is when a few of the lads went out for pizza and were asked if they wanted it cut into 4 or 8? Jason pipes up that he'd better have 4, as he'd never manage 8. True or not, I don't know, but I love it.
Thursday transfer gossip.
The Guardian has the 'news' that Man City are looking to sell Craig Bellamy now that the deal for David Silva has been made.
The Sun tells us that Man City have told Liverpool not to bother with a bid for Micah Richards. I'm just assuming that it's not limited to Liverpool, though.
Still at City (something tells me it's going to be City and Spurs heavy today) and The Telegraph says that they'll go back for Everton's Arteta if they can't get James Milner.
While The Mail has United looking at Philipp Lahm again. I'd take this signing over any other this season. We really do need a reliable right back and Lahm is about as good as a right back gets atm.
Also in The Mail and Inter have said that Mario Balotelli is not for sale and that Maicon is indespensible to the team.
Another Mail story and Chelsea haven't been put off by Torres' groin injury and are going ahead with a bid for him.
More Chelsea news and The Telegraph say that they think they'll be able to fend off the interest from Real for Ashley Cole, even if he wants to leave.
The Daily Mirror has West Ham in talks with Olympiakos about selling midfielders Alessandro Diamanti and Radoslav Kovac but want to keep midfielder Scott Parker and the owners have travelled to the south of France to try to push through a £12m deal for Nice striker Loic Remy.
Sunderland are putting together a deal for United striker Danny Welbeck and Manchester City defender Nedum Ohuoha. That's from The Mail.
The Mirror have Sam Allardyce looking to offload Jason Roberts to raise funds for a new forward.
Emiliano Insua is to join Fiorentina after they agreed a £5m fee with Liverpool for him.
The Mirror has David Moyes saying that he doesn't think that Everton will be signing any more players before the end of the transfer window.
They also have a story which says that Sven-Goran Eriksson turn down the chance of a return to the Premier League with Fulham and stay with the Ivory Coast.
