The Scoop

Thierry Henry is becoming a bit 'put off' at Arsenal these days. Perhaps Barcelona are waiting in the shadows, check book and pen in hand.

Chelsea will have to look for 'African Cup of Nations' cover up front this summer as Hernan Crespo is set to stay in Milan.
UPDATE: It looks as if Claudio Pizzaro will be able to fill one of the open spots.

While Sir Alex Ferguson is making signings that will supposedly make a difference in his squad, our Rafa is signing unheard of 15 year old Swedes. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to build the youngsters, but please seal some substantial deals here.

AC Milan and Brazil star, Kaka, is 'flattered' that Real Madrid are interested in him. I wonder what the Italians will be able to stash away from a deal like this...if it happens? A referee's summer home on the Adriatic, no doubt!

Egg-head is looking to spend some dosh this summer. After losing out to Newcastle for Mark Viduka, as reported here yesterday, West Ham United are going to make a big money move for Everton's Tim Cahill. I have a feeling that this olive branch clustered with Great British Pounds will bear no fruit.
