Another Tristan.

Why are you comparing Diego Tristan to the one of the best strikers ever?

Van Nistelrooy is still among the top few strikers in the world.

£1.2m? Madness. Madrid are a club run by clowns.

It's astounding isn't it? seriously, we should be going for him for that price, no doubt whatsoever. 10 goals in 12 games this year just gone I think?

I for one would be livid to see those c**** pick him up for under £2m Headbanger

Man United have excepted a bid from Hull for Frazier Campbell. Campbell scored 15 goals for Hull in their promotion year from the Championship. United have now given permission to Hull to discuss personal terms with the player.
I think he'll do well for Hull.

Also is a list of nationals with the average amount of rumours they print per issue. No shock to see NOTW top that table!

Six added: "To my mind Rod Fanni is the same kind of footballer as Jose Bosingwa. I had already been in touch with West Ham in the past when they asked me to seal a deal with Emmanuel Adebayor, who was unhappy with his contract with Monaco.

"I have no idea whether West Ham have made a concrete offer to Rennes or not, it's business between clubs, but what I know is that the player is keen on the English market."


This sounds pretty promising regarding Fanni, I could hoenstly seeing us getting him and Bates. Bates is out of contract soon so I cant seem him commanding much of a fee.



In other news, Jermaine Beckford has been put on the transfer list by Leeds, worth a punt?
