Oh, nah. I didn't take it that way. I prefer citing the original source. ESPN is pretty wreckless sometimes. Like when they reported Cristiano Ronaldo toMadrid was a done deal on Sportscenter.
I like Ryan Babel. I hope he goes to a team where he can get consistent starts.
Bayern Munich -
Apprently, Bayern Munich offered €22m to Udinese for their star player, Fabio Quagliarella. That offer has been rejected. If this is true then I assume theoffer was made prior the Mario Gomez negotiations and agreement. It seems, Quag wants a Napoli move.
I mentioned how the capture of Gomez meant the end of Luca Toni. I believe AC Milan will go after him. Why? Cause thats what Milan does. They go after"experienced" players who just happen to be on the wrong side of their careers. They'll go after Adebayor, fail to get him and then settle forToni, a player they should have bought 2 years ago.
Bayern Boss, Uli Hoeness was asked a few questions about Ribery's future. He dropped a few gems including 1. Manchester United made a casual enquiry forRibery. 2. He wouldn't pick up the phone if someone offered €40m 3. He briefly touches on the Ronald to Madrid rumors and how that would affect interestfor Ribery.
The original source was Bild IIRC. Personally, I believe him. Lets not forget the Hargreaves fiasco. Bayern will not sell when they don't want to and theywon't sell cheap.
Chelsea -
According to the Independent, Chelsea have submitted a whopping 50m bid for Franck Ribery.

Real Madrid -
According to Jose Ramon de La Morena of Cadena SER, Real Madrid President-Elect Florentino Perez will announce the signing of Manuel Pellegrini (Villareal) asthe next Coach on Tuesday. In addition, he will announce the signing of his first new-Galactico, Kaka' on Thursday.
I'm very hesitent to put any faith in Kaka' or CR7 rumors because its been going on for 2 years however I can safely say Jose Ramon is an excellentsource. "El Larguero" and Cadena SER are genuinely better sources than AS or Marca. Like all rumors, take with a pound of salt lol.
