Football Rumours

Liverpool are on the verge of signing Chelsea misfit Claudio Pizzaro on a free as well as nippy young winger Aboudi Almaar from Fenerbache.

I dont know whats been going on in the East End of recent years, its like theyre buildin a street fighting team rather than a football team. Bellamy has come to East London who had a fight with former team-mate Riise over kareoke and threatened someone with a golf stick, before that Bowyer who has had many a frosty encounter came along with Newcastle team-mate Dyer of whom he had a fight with in a game at st james park in front of 60,000 odd. Now, coming to the reason of writing, it is reported that inprisoned joey Barton who mooneyed fans, put out a cigar on someones face during Man City christmas party and had beat a man up in Liverpool city centre will be on his way down after he leaves prison. You wait till the owners boxing tournament Eggy'll bite Ashley's ear off.

Dont know if this means anything, nothing much to it but i saw Michael Owen signing autographs by Portsmouth harbour the other day. Probs just out sightseeing or summit but fort id put it on ere for you to speculate over lol.

Paul Wotton has signed a 3-year deal at southampton following release by Plymouth.

QPR are one of a few English clubs linked to Kevin Tunani - the captain of the Bordeaux reserve side for two seasons. Kevin Tunani a defensive midfield player in the model of Patrick Vieira. Kevin's game is more suited to the English game and has been described as having all the characteristics of a future great defensive midfielder.

Kevin Phillips' agent Phil Smith has said it is unlikely the striker will join Leeds United from West Brom.

Arsenal have won the race to sign France midfielder Samir Nasri from Marseille.

Italian Serie A club AS Roma have signed Norway defender John Arne Riise from Liverpool for £4m.

Coventry City sign Carlisle United goalkeeper Keiren Westwood on a three-year deal for an initial fee of £500,000.
