As we enter the evening and the rumour mill starts to slow slightly, now seems like an apt time to go through the pick of the bunch of today's transfer rumours. This is something I plan on delivering daily, purely for good natured, well intended banter's sake.
On with the slog then...
Cut Price van Nistelrooy Set To Join Harry At Spurs? - Mail Online
This is a story that emerged over the weekend and appears to have gathered further weight today, with dailymail.co.uk reporting Tottenham representatives have held further talks with Real Madrid over a move for the Dutchman.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has little to prove to anyone, especially when it comes to the Premier League, but he may fancy a move to White Hart Lane and a return to England's top flight. Spurs have a serious problem regarding stockpiling strikers, though; they already have Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe, Darren Bent and Roman Pavlyuchenko. At least one would surely have to make way for a new arrival.
Fulham are also said to be interested and the prospect of Europa League football could appeal to the 32-year-old.
Masch Wants Barca Move - The Sun
Tabloid newspaper The Sun's online format has some quotes from Javier Mascherano's agent, Walter Tamer, in which he suggests the Argentine animal of a midfielder would welcome interest from Champions League winners Barcelona, leaving Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez more red than the Merseyside club's shirt.
This must surely be a no-go deal. 'Masch' is a great asset to Liverpool and is key to the balance of their midfield. Mr. Benitez is likely to put up one hell of a fight to prevent the transfer from coming anywhere close to fruition. Plus, agents and representatives say a lot of things; I'm sure a move to Catalan would line Mr. Tamer's pockets for years to come.
Carlos Tevez Edges Closer To Manchester City Move Reports - Goal.com
This is a story I was given to write for Goal.com today, as more and more reports from various UK media sources appeared to be under the impression that Carlos Tevez is on the verge of joining City. In fact, in the car with my brother last night it seemed as though radio station Talksport had more or less announced a deal was in place, though I didn't catch the whole report.
Ordinarily, Manchester United would probably shut the door on such a move without hesitation, but unfortunately for them, Tevez is not their player. It is no secret that United have baulked at the asking price for the Argentinean - reported to be around £25.5 million - despite their wish to keep the player.
All signs seem to be pointing to yes on this one, and The Man City money train rolls on.
