Spanish 'agent' Francois Gallardo yesterday told Italian radio that the transfer was already done. Speaking to Interecomía of Catalonia, and quoted by Fichajes, Gallardo said "Real Madrid has signed Bale for 90 million euros. The signing is closed from this week but Real Madrid will wait to make it official when they have a new coach announced. I have information and I assure you that Gareth Bale is already player of Real Madrid."

Known to be a compulsive liar so take it with a pinch of salt.

Ben Fairthorne (no, me neither) says, 'Ronaldo wants United, United want Ronaldo, agent Mendes wants it up happen, but going to be up to Ronaldo to force move.'

Googled for him and it seems he is a real journalist and has interviewed some big names in the past.

90m euros :joker: I'd snap their hand off if I was Tottenham, could build a better team not reliant on bale with that much

It won't happen, especially with Ronaldo's latest comments about not speaking to Real Madrid as of yet over a new deal and denied any suggestions that he has demanded more money.

Plus he said that he is confident about agreeing a new deal at RM.

I have signed for Barcelona for £22m.

^ BD trying to flirt with the Barcelona massive.

Man Utd want me for £5 million:joker:.

Don't see it on Sky Sports, Lucas. Were you meant to keep it under wraps?

Indeed. Never expected it to happen. Especially now Ferguson has gone.

Roma sign Mehdi Benatia from Udinese.

"Cesc Fabregas has zoomed up Manchester United’s transfer target list to the top position and the champions are going to move heaven and earth to get him," Denis Irwin told the Sunday World newspaper.

"The Barcelona star wants out of the Nou Camp and United want him badly, so the deal should be done easily enough. Fabregas is just the sort of all-action midfield player United need if they are to make a run at next season’s Champions League.

"Cesc won’t be short of offers for I believe this is going to be a transfer season where eye-boggling amounts of money will be spent."

"Nani will go to Monaco and Patrice Evra may well return to the same club, from whom he joined United," Irwin added. "I’ve also heard a word that the new manager might have Luke Shaw at the top of his list. The teenage Southampton full-back is the latest in a long line of prodigies from that club’s excellent youth system."

i cant believe any of that :joker:

Me neither. Denis knows the club, but I am sure that people who know who our transfer plans are will keep quiet about it:joker:.

Indeed. I don't see why he'd reveal plans.

Also just saw this:

Reporter to Ronaldo: Will you come to Paris?

Ronaldo: Where?

Reporter: To PSG?

Ronaldo: Oh yeah, i will come for a holiday (with a big laugh).

If true. :joker:

Apparently Mourinho said when asked about signing Kevin Prince Boateng that ''he had more haircuts than goals last season'' but that's probably bull**** too lol

majority of them are all made up but some of them are hilarious.. Mourinhos press conference tomorrow so we'll see if hes changed much or not

:joker:

I will be surprised if these Jose Mourinho will listen to offers for Juan Mata stories are true. I think they are false mind.

Some United fans were trying to cook up a swap Rooney for Mata deal today which made me LOL at them:joker:.

these Mata stories are absolute rubbish.. best player in the side last season

United linked with Nampalys Mendy now, who wants to leave Monaco and he is a CDM too, which is the kind of player we need!

just the time when you don't want to leave monaco

True. I have just read an article on SSN and Claudio Ranieri claims that the player is listening to advice from his brother and agent.

L'Equipe are claiming it would be a free transfer too if the rumours are true.

I was interested to see the list of released players this summer... Arsenal with 13 including Arshavin, Squillaci and Denilson :( all could be good captures for other teams.

Arshavin especially.. would be good for a club like Fulham

I always liked Arshavin, apart from if he scored against United:p.

Will Arsenal actually go on a spending spree this Summer? I think you will sign Marouane Fellaini now unless David Moyes swoops in and takes him to United;).

Conor Henderson, Sanchez Watt and Josh Rees were the only others I'd heard of.
