Which is the most tedious transfer rumour; Ronaldo to Real, Lampard to Inter, or Barry to Liverpool?

The silly season isn’t even in full flow yet, and already we have been assaulted with a trio of transfer rumours that threaten to be as boring and interminable as watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy on loop…
Exhibit A - Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘will-he/won’t-he’ Man Utd/Real Madrid snoozefest. To be frank, I no longer care whether the wet-haired twinkle-toed one stays or goes, as long as he puts the footballing world out of our misery and makes a decision.
Exhibit B - Frank Lampard is inexplicably spending his hols on a packed public beach, let’s hope he’s having a long hard think about his potential Inter move, as the whole ‘Frank is leaving Chelsea’ malarkey has been floating around for years now.
Exhibit C - Gareth Barry to Liverpool, as excruciating a combination as haemorrhoids and constipation, and one that is still rolling on. And on. And on. And on.
Three irritating transfer rumours that are driving the footballing community to the edge of sanity, but which one is the most annoying?

Got to say Ronaldo. I mean the lamps story hasnt had that much coverage. Barry comes in close 2nd but at least bids have been confirmed my MON himself etc so at least theres something new to read about. The Ronaldo banter is mostly speculation with no real news for either team.
But being a Liverpool fan would like to see the Barry saga come to a swift end.

Yep, got to be Ronaldo with the Barry saga a distant second.
Lamps to Inter is actually quite interesting.
EVERTON - June 17th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
i already hated liverpool and now this…definitely barry to liverpool. i don’t even remeber how many bids that rafa send dy.
lets just get over it la…
ANNOYING BASTARDS!!!

yes it also has to be ronaldo but with barry second, but i hope that they all get resolved soon, especially barry! but not for more than 15 mil! Then i would love to see ronaldo go, watch united fall down the pan without him!
But lampard hasnt had much coverage, i think that could go on for a while though, the club he loves or the manager!

yeah the barry transfer rumours are boring, its funny to see an everton fan complaining, at least its more interesting than the headline “Nobody linked with everton”
TheSwede - June 17th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Must be Barry to Liverpool, it´s just ridiculous, Pool have squad players better than him, and for £20m…hahaha…O´Neill is funny…
Please lay off and go for some quality players…

if i read another torres not going to chelski news story i’ll get sick.. it is not news that we are not going to sell him..

caughtoffside pblishes about 5 stories a day about barry going to liverpool, just re-hashing every newspapers opinion into an article titled “Liverpool after Villa star! They wont pay XXMil will they?”
so yes, we are bored of it. so write about something else
TheSwede - June 17th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
What about Krisztian Nemeth, is he ready to step up?
I guess Ribery will go cheap now…we will not need him until sep 13th anyway so…
Ricardo - June 17th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Hopefully before the euros end Liverpool will have some good news with Riise and Crouch set for exits. After the euros expect the rum0urs of Villa and Quaresma to be settled once and for all. Would love to see Villa sign for us, but can’t say I’m fully convinced we can get him. Will Valencia sell him, I think they have to really and going by logic, I would hope Valencia wouldn’t sell to their rivals in La Liga.
I guess we can only hope lads.

I am sick and tired of hearing about Ronaldo. He purposely wanted the entire spotlight of the world to be on him by saying he will hold off on his decision until after Euro 2008. He told them he wants to play for Madrid, then says he will wait till later. I hope he leaves and Ferguson leaves too.
I think Aston Villa need to just accept the fact that Barry wants to leave and take the 15 million pound bid. That way we can stop hearing about it! I hope Lampard moves to Inter. It will mean Inter and AC will finally have a good rivalry this year.

WE DNT CARE ABOUT RONALDO! LIVERPOOL HAVE TORRES& GERRARD, ARSENAL VAN PERSIE & FABREGAS, CHELSEA HAS DROGBA,SHEVA AND MAYBE RONLADINO OR KAKA, MANU HAS GIGGS!
qalia - June 18th, 2008 at 1:21 am
yeah and we only have craps to read for the whole summer
johnnyk - June 18th, 2008 at 11:25 am
as a liverpool supporter it has to be barry’s will he or wont he come … seriously i think rafa should just give up if MON want 20 million for him. a close 2nd has to be ronaldo. liek ryan said .. he only wants the attention by sayin that he wants to go but will make his decision after euro 2008 … imseriously am sik of all the same rumours and paper talk .. i just want euro 2008 to finish so we finally see some tranfers being made

benson - June 18th, 2008 at 11:59 am
fergie maybe childish but he hasnt won wat he has won from bein a push over ronaldo is a twat manu giv him a great contract then fuks them of for a better contract u wuld expect any decent man to stay 1 more season and the lampard malarky he shuld leave it will be good for him and chelsea chelsea need to start from scratch with scolari to reach there full potential
Reality Cheque - June 18th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Strange that the London based newspapers don’t seem to comment on the big transfer stories involving London clubs, isn’t it? They’d rather make up stuff about Ronaldo and interview his neighbour’s cat rather than show up that Arsenal are haemorraging players, that Chelsea may lose four stars in quick succession and that Spurs now HAVE to sell berbatov but no-one wants him at the price they’re asking. Instead of showing the real stories on their doorsteps they invent rubbish about non-London teams. funny that.
Reality Cheque - June 18th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Benson, the trouble is that Lampard isn’t actually very good. He fitted into Mourinho’s system but does that mean that he’d fit into anyone else’s? He can’t play for England, that’s for sure. He’s shocking for England. He’d better cash in on a big contract now, while he still can. There are worse things than sitting on the bench in Milan counting your dosh.

Don’t read the shitty rumour papers - they’re full of shit - just like COS
RayParlourForPresident - June 18th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
the lampard one aggravates me purely because I couldn’t give a shit whether he moves, he is the most overrated, overpaid, talentless player in the premiership, look how easily he lost his England place to Barry?
if I didn’t hate him so much I would never think about him at all.
for some reason chelsea hold him as some sort of idol, I would argue he is one of the main reasons they play such shite football.
RayParlourForPresident - June 18th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
correction - Titus Bramble is probably a worse player but i am sure you get the picture
Bill Vector - June 18th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
RayParlourForP - do you hate Lampard more than Cashley? I hav a friend who hates both - obviously - but hates Cashley more. I can’t choose between the arseholes myself.
Bill Vector is an Idiot and Probably Wanks looking at Christiano Ronaldo - June 18th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Bill Vector is full of shit. If COS is full of shit then i wonder why the fark he’s here
EVERTON - June 18th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
liverpool shit…
Adam - June 18th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Lampard will go to inter because Jose is their new manger.
RayParlourForPresident - June 18th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
to answer the Question Bill I think I might hate them both in equal amounts but for totally different reasons. Aside from the fact that Cashley is a greedy twat without any kind of moral bone in his body he is actually a good defender and I don’t like him because of the way he left.
Lampard I hate because I find him an utterly pointless human being added to the fact he thinks he is great without ever proving any worth to anyone. He is slow, can’t pass, can’t tackle and yet has an inflated ego and genuinely believes he is one of the best players in the country. he has a face that needs to be kicked which also doesn’t help
Actually I think I may hate Chelsea and what they have done to the premiership more than both of them put together so it kind of stands to reason I hate their players in equal amounts
PC - June 18th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Most of the Chelsea team are pricks, Lampard, Cashley, Terry, Drogba, Ballack the list goes on… They all deserve each other. No class, no respect, no morals. JT even parks his £100k motor in disabled spaces - what an absolute c***! England captain my f***** a***!
Even Joe Cole started acting like a whinging little dickhead last season. He wasn’t like that when he left WH.

Ronaldos ofcouse,its starting to sound like it is a new spice from spain they are advertising,they should step it down a little bit coz to me its more of a toilet cleaner they are selling
enrichco - June 25th, 2008 at 11:44 am
ofcourse A, but absolutly i hope c will be occur, viva inter!
