Occasionally from time to time something happens that just shocks and baffles everyone around. A mystifying decision that either will be viewed as a piece of brilliance or a moment of stupidity, from time to time an absolute shocker happens. And good gosh, what do you know, Manchester United are interested in
Owen Hargreaves! Apparently, the decision will be made by Thursday for the transfer. That sly old fella,
Sir Alex Ferguson, never letting us know about his plans, eh?
To prove this case further,
Alessandro del Piero has revealed that Ferguson had previously made a move for him last summer to add firepower to his squad, but the Italy veteran turned the offer down as he was too loyal to Juventus. Awww. Now how often do you see that? Give the man a handclap. Man Utd, though, would probably be better off trying to polish their wonderkids into wonderplayers, something that Ferguson isn't doing with
Giuseppi Rossi. The Italian youngster has failed to break into the first team after impressive displays this season and will spend this season entirely on loan away from Old Trafford.
Oh well, if SAF isn't interested, at least the Italian Big Four are. AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma and relegated Juventus are rumored to be wooing the youngster. The transfer will undoubtedly be subjective to Rossi's performances at his former club Parma, where he is now on loan at.
A few streets across at the City of Manchester Stadium,
Stuart Pearce is trying to sign Egyptian bad-boy
Mido to his squad, giving a brand new life to his nickname "Pyscho." Mido has fallen out of favour with
Martin Jol recently after quarreling with him, and he will seize this opportunity with both hands. Another addition to the Sky Blues Pearce is considering is AZ Alkmaar left-back
Tim de Cler.
Somewhat dubiously,
Alan Pardew is looking to sign the "cousin" of
Clarence Seedorf,
Stefano Seedorf. Discounting the fact that the angle-hungry tabloids would definitely have picked up on this player if he was any good at all, there is still the fact that Pardew had famously once rubbished
Arsene Wenger's accomplishments and accused him of underdeveloping English football. Bollocks to that, Gunners cry, as they pick up the newspaper and read the news of Pardew's interest in Sheffield Wednesday's
Madjid Bougherra.
Meanwhile, Middlesborough boss
Gareth Southgate, when not trying to be a James Blunt lookalike, is apparently singing "You're Beautiful" to West Brom's
Zolten Gera. Provided Gera doesn't mind the breakingly bad falsettos Southgate will eek out, Gera will provide excellent quality to the Boro midfield.
Jeremie Aliadiere, though, is rumored to be more into that zingy dang-dang boom type of French rap club captain and French youth idol
Thierry Henry prefers, and won't take well at all to a sappyly sweet guitar ballad. Just as well that Southgate isn't that much into him too, after all. "Goodbye, my lover," sings a mournful Middlesborough home crowd sick of
Mark Viduka's antics at the edge of the BMI cliff.
In the aftermath of
Andrei Shevchenko's freescoring delights against poor Wycombe's
Ricardo Batista, the relationship between
Jose Mourinho and
Roman Abramovich seems to be on the mend again. This means good news for those waiting anxiously to prove the law of supply and demand: i.e, Premiership clubs demand adorably high prices that has everyone in spastic jerks of laughter and Chelsea supply more reasons to work that six-pack by paying them. Bolton's Israeli defender
Tal Ben-Haim could therefore very well be making the move from Bolton's penalty box to Chelsea's bench, where he shall join the likes of
Shaun Wright-Phillips in snivelling about how one Ukrainian gets all the lucky breaks.
Bolton fans however shouldn't worry too much, as Ben-Haim's possible replacement,
Anthony Gardner, reckons he's the man to take on the likes of
Thierry Henry, and proudly proclaims he enjoys the battle of wits everytime he takes on the Frenchman. Oh dear, that nasty fat man Martin Jol must be driving them mad over there if they are turning masochistic now.
