With Noble and Parker out, would it really be wise of West Ham to sell a midfielder like Behrami in order to get Keane?

If an offer of between £37 and £41m is enough to tempt City to sell Tevez in this transfer window, then my arse is a fire engine.

balotelli, cool as fuck from the penalty spot.

If tevez is on the pitch though i cant see him letting anyone else have a go. He'd be ok if he started twatting them again.

We were linked to this guy ca 2003. Eversince he has been tipped to go to one of the Premier League strugglers for ridiculous money in every single transfer window. Every time I've seen him, he has been absolute shite, yet he always seems to be on the brink to move to England.

Sometimes I just feel these journos have list of obscure names they throw around to fill pages.
