Paper Round
Posted by Dale Johnson on 08/18/2009

Now, we've heard Chelsea say they don't think they need to spend before the transfer window closes in a couple of weeks, but The Sun has different ideas.

Hot property Sergio Aguero of Atletico Madrid has been on the radar of Premier League clubs for some time, and now it is thought Chelsea are hoping to complete a £50m deal for the striker.

However, the paper reports that the clock is ticking with Aguero set to play in the Champions League on Wednesday in a play-off against Panathinaikos, which would rule him out of the Chelsea side who are already without Didier Drogba for four games. However, Chelsea say their limit is £42m. The world's gone mad.

Manchester City continue to lead the way in the transfer market, and they now appear to have beaten off interest from Chelsea in wonderkid Rafael de Souza Rodolfo, or Penaro to his friends. It says in The Sun that Robinho has proved to be the deciding factor as the 16-year-old was lured to Eastlands.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes the European Super League will be a reality sooner rather than later, in fact in the next 10 years.

He said in The Sun: "I see more a European League developing over time rather than one team going out of the country.

"The national leagues will survive but maybe in 10 years you will have a European League."

After the opening day defeat to Tottenham, Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez may well have been considering where to bolster his squad ahead of a long campaign. But it seems he will be thwarted with the Daily Mirror claiming that he will be given just £1.5m to spend. It'll hardly buy someone's laces in the current climate.

It's not getting any better for Liverpool, either, with the Daily Mirror reporting that Albert Riera is set to return to Spain after just one season. And it's those usual suspects doing the bidding, with Real Madrid and Barcelona linked.

Could we really see two Rooneys in the Premier League? The Daily Mirror reports that Macclesfield’s 18-year-old starlet, younger brother John, is a target for Blackburn and Bolton.

Hull are desperate to sign £12m Alvaro Negredo from Real Madrid, though may have made a mistake in inviting him over to the city for talks. Best to get him to sign first! However, The Sun says that Real Zaragoza are hoping to win the race as he wants to stay in Spain.

The Sun reveals that Birmingham City will clinch a deal for Sporting Gijon's Michel. The midfielder will move for £3m.

There was a time when Julio Baptista was on the wanted list of the world's biggest clubs. Now he's wanted by West Ham United. The Daily Mirror says the Brazilian, now with AS Roma, is on the shortlist along with Eidur Gudjohnsen and Marouane Chamakh.

The Daily Mail reports that Gianfranco Zola is happy for £5m James Collins to leave for Stoke.

Remember Sol Campbell? He's currently kicking around the streets looking for a club after making the bold decision to leave beleaguered Portsmouth. But talk about frying pans and fire, he's going to sign for Newcastle for a paltry £15,000-a-week. Well, that's what The Sun says. Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror claims that Fabricio Coloccini is a target for Espanyol.

And The Sun claims that somehow Portsmouth are going to sign a player. And a player actually wants to sign for them. However, it's only Bolton misfit Dan Shittu. The Daily Mirror thinks fellow Bolton player Gavin McCann will also sign.

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill looks ready to strengthen his rear-guard after the opening day horror show against Wigan, with the Daily Mirror tipping a £6m bid for Middlesbrough defender David Wheater.

And looking further up the field, the Daily Mail tips O'Neill to move for David Bentley and Jermaine Jenas as Spurs look to fund a deal for Celtic's Scott Brown.

Afonso Alves has proved to be one of the biggest flops of recent years after Middlesbrough spent £12m for little return in goals. Now it seems he could return to the comfort of the Eredivise, with Ajax leading the way. Read about it in the Daily Mirror.

Fulham will make an improved bid for powerful Almeria striker Kala Uche this week, so says the Daily Mirror. And the same paper believes Wigan will make the first move to sign Crystal Palace's highly-rated yougster Victor Moses.

Remember Nathan Ellington? Yes, the striker who has never cut it in the top flight. Well, he's been offered to Blackburn Rovers by Watford, but they want Paul Gallagher, who shone in the Championship last season, in return. It's in The Sun.

Tottenham defender Dorian Dervite is desperate to quit the club and return to France as he cannot get into the team. We think about 95% of Premier League watchers will never have heard of him, No great loss, then. Check out The Sun.
