i thought chivu was set for real until del bosque confessed he had been asking for a defender every season and perez bought some galactico instead. but they just got rid of hierro, amazingly, so someone has to come... barca have no money and their lying new president is gonna get killed in the street at this rate. shpould have got koeman not bloody rijkaard! milan said they're done for signings but maldini's getting on

Venables in charge by X-mas, with Hoddle demoted like Robson was at M'boro.
I'm glad we never got Ricketts.
This is the thread for wild speculation, after all.

No doubt cuddicini will move to italy someday (hopefully later than sooner)to claim the national place that he deserves - very unlikely to switch to another english club tho. The young pups will get their chance. Unlike Monsieur Wenger, Ranieri is not afraid of young British talent.

The other side of that coin is that Chelsea want Craig Rocastle back from us because they're "short of players". A side who have clear water at the top of the EPL, and have a massive squad, need a midfielder back from the side who are third in Scotland?
Why, that would be as ludicrous as an EPL side paying £8M for a player an SPL side got on a free 6 months ago.

£15m. Honestly.

Celtic also linked with fromer France international Philippe Christanval, who left a Barcelona team he couldn't get into to join a Marseille team he can't get into. (Blackburn and Southampton also watching him allegedly).
Scott Parker for Celtic was the silliest one I've heard today, though not as amusing as Bazza 'I'll never go back to Scotland with my tail between my legs, I'm Premiership quality' Ferguson mulling over a return to Ibrox.

Martin Jol declares his interest in every Dutch player who might possibly be interested in a move. Defoe is going to put four past Chelsea this weekend knowing he's in the shop window and Mourinho will be so pissed off he'll sign him.
Is there much else going on, apart from Morientes? Geremi to Middlesbrough? Bolton to sign some European journeymen?

Bellamy is on loan at Celtic for the rest of season.
Balde is apparently also staying for the rest of the season, though a last minute bid may come in from Boro. STV reported today that Balde was "on the verge of extending his contract with Celtic" - can't see it myself.
Nicolas Anelka has now changed hands for more than £60M in 11 years!
Mikel Arteta has a bit of skill but is possibly more of a fair weather player than Eyal Berkovic. Everton doesn't strike me as being the right team for him but I'll watch with interest.

Also, no next Scholes and no next Giggs. Ferguson will have to get it right in the transfer market in the summer coz the penny's finally dropped that Djemba Djemba & Kleberson are shite so he'll really need to sort the midfield coz Liam Miller is shit as well. Unless Fergie has some youngsters nobody knows about.

Bobby Petta has finally found his niche, at Darlington of all places. To think this was a man who once made Ajax look rubbish. Hurrah. Celtic get shot of a bit of their wage bill by virtue of Camara going to Southampton on loan instead of us, and still "no-one in wanting in Juninho" shockah!
Balde has pledged his future to Celtic. And, just to keep this thread up to date on Scottish stuff, Ferguson did make it back to Rangers. Expect his withdrawal from all future Scotland squads to be imminent.

I'm not sure he's right for Manyoo either. But then again I still think they should have done the sensible thing and moved for Van De Sar or Cudicini. Or wait for Southampton to get relegated and get the choice of two really good goalkeepers for a fraction of the price.
