Oh for Real, here we go again

It must be summer, it's 'official' Real Madrid have 'allegedly' put a bid in for Captain Paddy, well that's according to the Sunday rag that is the News of the world. After last weeks exclusive that the sharp Armani suited boys of Juve were coming over to North London to haggle the price of PV4, now apparently Real Madrid have entered the bidding.

It actually remains to be seen whether The Arsenal would want to sell their talismatic captain - however it's nice to know that it is officially summer now that Real have confirmed it. Also from another gleaned report which can be read in full on the BBC sport website, Captain Paddy wants to have talks regarding his future. Apparently the Juve Armani suited boys want to take Captain Paddy for £15m but look to  throw in a few players as a sweetener, such players as Steven Appiah, Jon Zebina and a few others who we can't be bothered to name.

As with any transfer story there is conflicting versions with Sir Peter Hill-Wood claiming "I think that if something were going on, I would know. Everything is fine with Patrick as far as I'm aware." before puffing on a big Havana cigar and young gun Arturo Lupoli claiming in tomorrows chip paper TuttiSport that Captain Paddy 'Wants to go". Expect this one to run for a few more days, weeks etc.

The Beast is for turning

After the shenanigans of last weeks on/off transfer twists of Brazilian Julio 'The Beast' Baptista, you've guessed it - the story has taken another twist. This time the non-signing striker has done a 'Steven Gerrard' and changed his mind again. This time the Brazilian has said he now wants to stay at Seville. "I want to stay with Sevilla for one more season. Then I will be able to gain dual nationality and become a European citizen. If I went to Arsenal now, I would not be able to."

Be sure for this story to change again in the next few minutes, hours, days weeks.. yawn.. yawn. However it might not of all been in vain as Gooner supremo of transfers David (Double D) Dein has stopped his tan quite nicely we're told.

However as we claimed this story will take a twist, how's this for a twist The Arsenal have been accused by Seville coach of 'tapping up' The Beast - who recently said he spoke to Saint Wenger whilst in Brazil. However Seville claimed The Arsenal have not received permission to chat to their star man but remains to be seen whether they are going to report the Gunners or just moan about it.

The price is Wright

Well that's what Saint Wenger wants for Manchester Citeh wing wizard Shaun Wright-Phillips. He is quoted as saying there are two transfer markets, one for the Bank of Chelsea and one for everyone else. At the moment it is claimed Saint Wenger is poised to make a move for SWWWP but is waiting to see what opening bid The Bank of Chelsea are going to make. However according to some sources and not any to do with ANR, the SWWP to the Bank of Chelsea is a done deal, watch this space.
