Dear rumor mill,

I just heard from someone that is associated with the Miami connection of F.C Barcelona's, and they are so serous about buying an MLS franchise that there has been talks with the people at FIU to use their brand new 18,000 seat stadium so that they can start play in 2011.

Rumored Manchester United and Arsenal target Klaas Jan Huntelaar hasn't been in the rumor mill much lately because most signs are pointing to the 24-year-old Dutch international to be sticking around at Ajax. Ajax have insisted that they were intent... Click to continue reading...

Chelsea set to land Kaka for record £80m

The month of July is getting on in days and while the big names are slowly moving closer to signing, there are still some clubs that haven't made moves like expected. Because of this, I think the rumor mill is... Click to continue reading...

The rumor mill keeps on churning today, with the latest reports hinting that Arsenal have made contact with Aston Villa about midfielder Gareth Barry. I don't know much I can buy into it, but it would be a good move if Gilberto is indeed leaving.

It's not an uncommon sight at all for the Bolton Faithful to be waiting and wondering what's going to happen next during the summer transfer window.

Luiz Felipe Scolari, from now on here at the Offside known as Uncle Phil, hasn't even taken over at Chelsea yet.

Wayne Rooney is officially off the singles market after marrying long-time sweetheart Coleen McLoughlin in a 17th-century villa on the Italian Riviera last Friday, news that is sure to break the hearts of the various prostitutes whom Rooney used while the couple was still dating.

His good friend and England teammate, Steven Gerrard, was not present at the wedding as he and his wife (who, by the way, is considerably more attractive than McLoughlin) were celebrating their one-year anniversary in Miami over the weekend. Click to continue reading...

Big Phil at the top of the list
Several outlets, including the Guardian and the Times, now see Portugal manager Luiz Felipe Scolari as the top candidate to take over at Stamford Bridge next season. Rijkaard and Mark Hughes apparently join him on a three-man shortlist. If Scolari is indeed the man, he likely won't sign until after Euro 2008.
