Tabloid Times: Owen No!

The Sun are saying what we are all thinking about Newcastle’s new kit. ‘Fashion Shocker’ they cry.


The Sun are saying what we are all thinking about Newcastle’s new kit. ‘Fashion Shocker’ they cry. We feel it has the look of a Northern Rock-sponsored multi-layered custard cream. Either way, Steven Taylor is not likely to curry much favour if he parades down the Quayside in that get up.

The Sun claim Liverpool have bust the bank to secure the services of Portsmouth full back Glenn Johnson. We don’t want any talk of busting the bank today please!

The old transfer merry-go-round is really cranking up a gear now and The Sun claim Matt Derbyshire will wrap up his move from Blackburn to Olympiakos on Tuesday.

Is Javier Mascherano staying at Anfield or not? We don’t know, but The Sun claim Liverpool will have to double his wages to keep him.

It must be a tough life being a newspaper journalist. The long hours, chasing contacts to get that exclusive scoop, or watching television channels, transcribing an interview with Michael Owen and turning it into a back page story in the Mirror.

Sir Alex Ferguson has money burning a hole in his pocket and rather than spending it on red wine, The Mirror claim £20m could be shelled out on Brazilian forward Nilmar.

The papers love a good swap deal don’t they? They hardly ever come off, but they are always in the headlines. The latest one on offer is The Daily Star’s back-page offering which claims Chelsea will use Didier Drogba as bait to land Milan’s Pato.

Steven Taylor is the man modelling ‘that’ Newcastle kit, but there is no suggestion that is the reason why a ‘source close to the player’ has told the Star that the defender is frustrated with the goings on at St James’.

Swansea are confident of keeping hold of Ferrie Bodde, but the Dutchman could have his head turned as The Star claim Bolton have tabled a £1.5m deal.

David Villa has had a ‘horrible week’ if his interview in The Express is to be believed. The Valencia forward does not say a lot other than that he wants to concentrate on the Confederations Cup with Spain.
