THe Spanish press are hinting today that Robson wants Mcmanananananananaman and Real want Nobbs. But, Robson isn't keen on losing Solano.

On other stories they say Barca are to offer Ferguson 5million a year plus 80mil straight off in transfer funds. This from the local paper.

Alex, not Duncan or Ian.

Appearing in Paper

-- Anonymous, May 23, 2001

I hate papers speculating about my wages. I had said to keep it quiet, but yet again the press find out. The true wages I'd accept are less than half what is reported.

Barce have a pre-contract agreement with Hector Cuper of Valencia, besides which I doubt Taggart would start from scratch in Spain at his age.

ml3 the catalans love cuper, but everyday they have to fill a paper all about barca and this kind of story is inevitable. cuper is on the cover evryday along with sol, they also seem quite pissed off that jerzy dudek is going to Arsenal, they thought theyd signed him! whats this about you boys buying the african player of the year?

Ananova is reporting that there are lots of rumours of Cuper going to Inter....

Ya, I have also heard Cuper going to Inter. Man Cuper is just so cool! I dream wet dreams about him replacing BR in two years.

Cuper slipping in behind Bobby in the dugout

do you want more?

Swift - Patrick Mboma, striker, 30 y.o from Cameroon, 2000 African player of the year. Cost Parma £4million from Cagliari but can't get a first team start. possible replacement for NQDP.

Probably just paper talk or one or Reidy's price-saving transfer smoke-screens.

He's a big player, but not NQ tall. Obviously quality though. I think you would be better off with a British player or similar. Flo would have been your NQ, isn't he unsettled at Rangers?

I would expect him to make an audacious 1.5mil "swoop" for Peter Crouch at QPR.

Funny you should say that, I have a sneaky feeling he may be after him. Even if he was interested, PR would never declare an interest - some all-money and no-sense team like Boro or Fulham would stick their nose in and drive the price up.

My posting was about Flo, but Softie's comic timing should be applauded.
