Transfer Reports From Spain are as wildly imaginative at times as a Bollywood script from India. Lets just look at the names that have featured this week in the various ‘transfer reports’ coming out of Spain. Our legendary Captain who just completed a decade at the club has been linked to a move to the English League with Arsenal and Manchester City in hot pursuit. The 32 year old Spanish defender has been in the news lately for his lenghty negotiations with Barca over a new contract. Arsene Wenger is said to be a big fan of the whole-hearted Blaugrana skipper and would pair him alongside Thomas Vermaelen in a new look defence, Sport state.
Both the player and the club have stated that they want to resolve the matter, but agent Ramon Sostres has stated in the past that his client needs assurances about his place in the team. It is true that Pep is looking to Dmytro Chygrynskiy as a long term option at the heart of Barca’s defense and Puyol has been shunted around the back 4 a couple of times this term.
The news that Arsenal are now interested might be a ploy to force Barcelona’s hand, but if a concrete offer comes in then things may move beyond the European champions’ control.
CR10?!?
El Mundo Deportivo has reported that Barca are going to move for Robinho as well as Cesc Fabregas as soon as the January Transfer Window and they have dubbed or actually mimicked it as CR10!. The Catalan daily sportspaper reports that an agreement between Barca president Joan Laporta and Fabregas was sealed in the summer, and now a deal with Arsenal must be agreed. The Robinho talks have started again as after taking the reins at Camp Nou last year, the coach told Barcelona that he wanted the skilful forward, but Madrid were unwilling to do business with their arch rivals.
Two more reports have again involved the same clubs i.e Barcelona, Arsenal and Manchester City where as we are said to be interested in signing Vincent Kompany and Eboue. Vincent Komapny has come out in the open to deny such a move. The Ivory Coast international has been in fine form this season, and is rated at £7 million by the Gunners. According to The Sun, the reigning Champions League winners require cover for first-choice Brazilian star Dani Alves on the right side of defence.
Well these news will keep coming out of Spain and provide us with enough entertainment till the real transfer window opens and some sanity will prevail.
