Football transfer rumours: Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester City?

So, Manchester City will purchase Cristiano Ronaldo for £150m. They're also after José Mourinho. That Madrid sun isn't coming over any time soon, though, so you can put that wallet away. Meanwhile Manchester United have bid £16m for David De Gea , with agent Jorge "Bébé" Mendes heavily involved in the deal, fans will be calmed to hear. United are also in for attack-minded Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik , attack-minded Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell, attack-minded Internazionale midfielder Wesley Sneijder, attack-minded Real Madrid attacker Karim Benzema, defence-oriented Blackburn defender Phil Jones, and orbit-obsessed moon on a stick. Barcelona and Manchester City want £60m Cesc Fabregazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . Paolo Di Canio is likely to become manager of Swindon Town . Sunderland are after Birmingham midfielder Seb Larsson and Blackpool's David Vaughan. And Newcastle, Sunderland and Celtic all want Cardiff striker Jay Bothroyd . But at the end of the day, all this is idle speculation. Conjecture. Gossip. Are we proud of ourselves? To be complicit in such cheap chit-chat? Really? Let's take a long look at ourselves in the mirror, think about the direction our lives are going over the weekend, and come back to this on Monday.
