Football Rumours

Colchester United winger Mark Yeates' move to Crystal Palace is in serious doubt after he failed his medical at Selhurst Park.

Cardiff City are preparing to make a second bid for Rangers and Scotland striker Kris Boyd.

The Ibrox club rejected a £2.5m for the player on Friday, but the Championship outfit remain keen on the forward.

City chairman Peter Ridsdale, who declined to name the player Cardiff were chasing, said: "We're prepared to increase our offer."

Burnley manager Owen Coyle has no plans to make a fresh offer for Andrew Driver after Hearts rejected two bids for the Edinburgh club's winger.

James McFadden wants to leave Birmingham following their relegation from the Premier League, his agent Willie McKay says.

The 25-year-old Scotland striker has been linked with a £5.5m move to Celtic and McKay said he wanted to play football at the "highest level".

West Ham have decided to release veteran winger Nolberto Solano after just one season at Upton Park.

Tottenham have completed the signing of Mexico international Giovani Dos Santos from Barcelona for an initial £4.7m.

Cristiano Ronaldo says he hopes to "complete his dream" of moving to Real Madrid, despite Manchester United insisting he is "not for sale".

Hull City are attempting to sign Paris St Germain's out-of-contract former France defender Bernard Mendy.

Arsenal look set to lose Adebayor, Rosicky and Hleb. Wenger may even look to sell Gallas, with Toure and Fabregas in contention for the captaincy. Wenger will look to bring in Croatian forward Olic for £10.5 million with the some of the money from Adebayor to partner Robin Van Persie although he is also after Klaas Jan Huntelaar (also a target for Real Madrid). Bendtner will be the third choice forward until Eduardo returns. If Gallas is stripped of the captaincy, he may put in a transfer request in which case Wenger will sell and bring in Vincent Kompany.






Aston Villa will resign in their efforts to hang on to Gareth Barry with Liverpool finalising the move next week. Villa will replace him with Steve Sidwell while Pasqual Chimbonda will arrive for £4 million. Villa are also chasing Liverpool duo Yossi Benayoun and Scott Carson and Chelsea's Wayne Bridge and Shaun Wright–Phillips.





Florent Malouda will be leaving Chelsea this Summer with Juve set to snap up the French winger.






Manchester City are considering an audacious swoop for Everton's Tim Cahill if they fail in their efforts to bring in Ronaldinho. The Jo transfer will happen despite problems with ownership but it may drag on until August. Mark Hughes will also bring in Benni McCarthy from Blackburn and will bid for David Bentley, although the latter is keen about Champions League football and Liverpool.






Sir Alex Ferguson will resign to losing Cristiano Ronaldo in a fortnight and a fee of around £48 million + Sergio Ramos will complete the deal.
Ramos will slot in at right back for United alongside Vidic, Ferdinand and Evra in defense. Gary Neville will be spared but even if free of injury will have to settle for the bench.
Ronaldo will be replaced by 25 year old French winger Franck Ribery although he is currently injured. Ferguson will beat Chelsea to the signing and will offer £26 million + either Louis Saha or Mikael Silvestre for the talented France star.
