The world of Premiership transfer rumours is full of nonsense, but some nonsense is more interesting that the other nonsense. Here’s our opinion on some of that more interesting nonsense… and if you have any thoughts, pop em in the comments.
Jose Mourinho will pry open Roman Abramovich’s suddenly tight purse strings to sign yet another Portuguese defender, Jorge Andrade from Deportivo La Coruna
CaughtOffside Says: If you can’t afford Bolton’s Ben Haim, you can’t afford Andrade. So we’re not quite sure how this one will work.
Gary Neville wants Henrik Larsson to stay at Manchester United until the end of the season
CaughtOffside Says: It seemed like a good idea until Neville said it. Because everything that comes out of his mouth sounds unbearable.
Chelsea are giving 16 year old Rushden striker Paris Cowan-Hall another trial.
CaughtOffside Says: The fact that this is transfer news is exactly why they need to extend that bloody window.
Despite alleged interest from Tottenham, Harry Kewell is considering being injured for an MLS team in America next season.
CaughtOffside Says: Some people question Kewell’s desire to earn his paycheck, and nothing says “lazy bastard” like a move to the MLS. We may have seen the last of Harry in a Liverpool shirt, unless they make a cup final or something.
Internazionale are preparing a £6m bid for Arsène full-back Emmanuel Eboué.
CaughtOffside Says: The figure is laughable, and so is the rumour. Can’t see this one happening at all, although Justin Hoyte has probably cut the article out and stuck it on his fridge.
