![]() What a load of old bollocks. 1. Ronaldo LOVES it in Madrid 2. Why buy Ribery when Nani and Valencia are settled on the wings? 3. Doyle isn't a Manchester United quality striker. 4. I haven't bought a Sunday newspaper for many years now, I wonder why? 5. Who is that big fat beardy guy who is always on Sunday Supplement? |

Whether Spurs would be "prepared to accept" 10m for both players is rather more doubtful. They might get O'Hara for 5m if they're lucky, but I don't think Bentley would be let go (if he's let go at all) for anything less than 13m absolute minimum ... probably more. |

In the American office of the firm I work with, there's an Irishwoman (Yank Irish) who thinks 'Brian McKnight' plays for their national side. And she's a proper soccer mom at that, both sons have been playing the ball to foot game forever, the younger is doing well for his college team.

Besides, he really does seem like a good guy, never handed in a transfer request at Valencia in spite of knowing that he's never going to win big things with them, only moved there from Zaragoza because Zaragoza desperately needed money. We were linked with him back in 2005, what could have been..
