So that’s the end of the Wayne Rooney saga then. United won’t sell to Chelsea at any price and are prepared to keep an unhappy player. OK, good. I trust that’s the last we’ll hear on the matter…
Continuing with the end-of-term vibe, Arsenal aren’t convinced Luis Suarez will be joining them either. They’ve even lined up moves for Michu and Edin Dzeko to show everyone how unlikely it’s looking. There could be a snag with that Luiz Gustavo deal too. Napoli, late bid, again.
More on Samuel Eto’o now. Chelsea are still considering a bid. That’s about it. Man City might make one more offer for Pepe too. £20m, take it or leave it.
Juve are after Christian Eriksen, which might put Liverpool and Tottenham’s noses out of joint, but with Will.i.an also linked with a move to Anfield, you have to wonder how serious the Scousers were anyway. Spurs, meanwhile, have agreed a £3.5m fee with QPR for Scott Parker. Fulham could yet torpedo that one though, and we all know how much they love a veteran.
And finally, Sam Allardyce wants to pair Andy Carroll up with Demba Ba. Can’t imagine Chelsea will stand in his way.
