Who’s Hot
Michael Owen-Owen has signed a two-year deal with the Premier League champions Manchester United.
Luis Fabiano-United have bagged Owen, but they continue to track another world-class striker. The Sevilla ace has been targeted as that £80m begins to burn a hole in Alex Ferguson’s pockets.
Cesc Fabregas-Barcelona seem intent on unsettling the Arsenal midfielder as much as possible, with Joan Laporta claiming the midfielder has “Barcelona in his DNA”. A move may yet materialise.
Jose Bosingwa-The Chelsea full-back could yet switch Stamford Bridge for the Allianz Arena after Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: “I don’t think the book has been closed on this issue yet.”
Felipe Caicedo-Caicedo is waiting for Manchester City to decide his future but with so many new faces at Eastlands, the Ecuadorian is likely to be shifted to Sporting Lisbon, who he says “would be a good alternative”.
Who’s Not
John Terry-The Chelsea captain really isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, not even to mega-rich Manchester City, who have had a second bid for the defender rejected. When will they learn?
Andrea Pirlo-Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti appears to have missed out on the Milan midfielder, who is veering towards a move to Spain with Atletico Madrid.
Emmanuel Adebayor-Arsene Wenger has said he expects the Togo striker will stay at the Emirates this summer, despite persistent speculation linking him with a move to Serie A giants Milan.
Franck Ribery-The France midfielder wants a move to Real Madrid or “nothing” – if his club Bayern Munich have any say in the matter, it will be the latter, with chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge saying: “Frank stays”.
Xabi Alonso-Real Madrid have called off their pursuit of the Liverpool midfielder, at least until the end of the month, when a clause in his contract – which would see his former club get some of his transfer fee – expires.
I think he’s done his worst,or don’t you think so. I mean even if he always wanted to leave, he would have done so earlier on, but not this time his club needed him most to save them from their present status….
