TALES FROM THE TABLOIDS

Last updated : 08 June 2003 By Editor

The People are adamant that we have signed Bellion and are defo gonna get Kewell. Not only that they say that we are gonna use Giggs, RVN, Kewell and Ronaldinho in the same team next year. They say will not pursue our interest in Kluivert and that Tim Howard will be our number one.

The Screws say that although negotiations are ‘far ahead’ with PSG, Ronaldinho does fancy playing a year at Barca and ‘risking no European football.’ They say that Barca will turn to him if they don’t sign Beckham.

Rustu Recber is quoted in the Mirror:: "I held talks, if you can call it that, with both of them (Us and Arsenal) but it was a joke - they behaved like amateurs. Barthez is a world star and I'm a world star. I'm not prepared to fight with Barthez for the No.1 spot, it's him or me." A ‘friend’ of Recber says he’s another who’s had talks with Joan Laporte.

The Sunday Mirror say that Steve Bruce has bid £3.5million for Roy Carroll.

Reports suggest that Sporting Lisbon 's Ricardo Quaresma says he will still move to Old Trafford for £10million despite Ronaldinho.

The Screws say that Leeds have had no contact with anyone about Paul Robinson.

Sources in Newcastle say that the Barcodes are after Ronaldinho too.

Oh and Paul Gascoigne is about to sign for Stockport County!
