just off the information supercarpark. Atletico Madrid's crippling financial situation has forced them to put 17 players, including former Leeds striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, up for sale. Atletico were relegated from Spain's top division this season along with Seville and Real Betis, who are looking to offload Brazilian star Denilson for a fraction of the #22million they paid for him in 1997. The availability of both players is bound to alert a host of clubs in England and Europe. Hasselbaink scored 24 goals in Madrid's doomed league campaign.

syme,

The Information Supercarpark!

"I love it - perfect description. Obviously it's not just me who finds this thing frustratingly pedestrian. "The Information M25" would be equally apt in the UK.

Hasselbank is Trouble, and personally I wouldn't touch him. Denilson's a young player looked great before he joined Betis, and presumably still is. He's be agreat acquisition; however, he's one the big Italian clubs will swarm around and push the price out of our reach.
