The way he smiles and looks a bit shifty everytime he says it makes me think he knows full well how gay it sounds. You can only hope it's an old Chelsea in-joke.
The treatment of other players story sounds a bit altruistic for Ronaldo but I have heard all of the following now: - Unhappy at them trying to punt Kaka - Unhappy at the 'retire or leave' demands made of Carvalho - Unhappy at the way Coentrao is being treated by the club and fans (he is not popular by all accounts) - Unhappy at selling young Madrid players such as Granero (Guti not happy about this but can't see Ronaldo giving a shit?) It's a bit strange he would start greeting over more money when the transfer window has just closed. Surely he would have been in a better bargaining position when there was actually a chance of a PSG/City transfer.
I can't help but notice that a transfer window has passed by and Beattie hasn't been linked with anyone. Never mind, James is a free agent. Time for him to get a club yet. howlongisitsincejamesbeattielastscored.co.uk
If you knew anything about Preston, Preston Nob End or their weirdo manager you would be able to read between the lines when Wright says he was 'homesick'.
As far as I can see, they are not liquidating, expect to sign a shitload of players on Monday, have a £4m wage budget for the season (probably more than twice the League 1 average) and have shifted 8k season tickets.
Hatton isn't really a massive puncher though. His last real KO was Maussa 7 years ago, and even then it was as much about wearing his opponent down with hard graft. You think he is going to get back to those levels of fitness? The reason Mayweather can come back from a 1 year lay-off is that he stays in shape. Hatton has spent three years on a cocaine and burger binge. He started training a while ago for a possible comeback. His own family told him he looked like shit and to knock it on the head. I hope he stays retired to be honest.
