Eto'o to Man U in a swap deal with Saha going to Barca. I can just see Barca wanting to sell one of the best strikers in world football for a crock who is out for months whenever one his nails split.

Another equally stupid one is the attached which mentions the possibility of 3 Arsenal players going to spurs.

Journalists are terminally thick people with no common sense or intellect. How they get this nonsense past their bosses is beyond me but thanks for the laugh anyway.

    Always entertaining to look at. Some have a bit of substance and credibility though.

    So do I, even that lot won't want him after a few games. Anyway that's enough obsessing about our friends down the road because you know site admin will be on our case otherwise.;)

    I mentioned one a few months ago, ie, Van Nistelrooy to Arsenal. Also deserves mentions are some that I heard today are Ronaldinho, Kaka and Messi to Man City.

    Eto'o for Saha! That sounded so unlikely it might be true.:)

    The new manager rumours are the worst (and most predictable). The usual list of unemployed suspects is trotted out each time.

    Before Sven was appointed there were rumours of various continental managers definitely in line for the City job, followed by swift and comprehensive denials, which showed the rumours for what they were: baseless.

    The football rumour mill is very damaging. If nothing else it unsettles players and could cause problems with team-mates and the manager. Most of the speculation is unfounded based on journalistic guesswork and the need to fill todays sports pages. Other rumours seem to be fed by the players' agents as part of the tapping up process.

    all journos do is go onto fan forums and look to see who the fans want and then post it, Alan Oliver got caught out doing that up here in Newcastle in the Chronicle a few years back

    Speaking as a Palace fan the worst ive ever heard were Gasgoine and Maradona coming to us,
    It was just after his last drugs ban ended and there was talk of him playing for us for 6 months.
    I would never believe the News of the world would print such rubbish.;) :D

    I read in the News of the World that Ronaldinho loved Seaton Carew Caravan Park so much that he asked to join Hartlepool

    I have heard many times about Barca hoping to offload Eto due to his incredibly bad attitude and poop-stirring.
