We all know how much transfer speculation there is between seasons. Very occasionally (but not all that often) the rumours turn into fact.
But the harsh reality is that more then 75% are completely fictional, and most are quite laughable. The two teams who seem to go into transfer link meltdown more then most are London clubs Chelsea and Tottenham. You can almost guarantee that one or the other (occasionally both) will be linked with every Tomaz, Ricardo and Henri looking for the millionaire lifestyle in the Premier League.

We all know how easy it is to start a rumour - the tricky bit is trying to substantiate it and turn it from fiction to fact.
So let's take for real all the players who have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and White Hart Lane and see what kind of line-up might be in propect for their first league meeting next season. The newcomers are in italics:
CHELSEA
1 - Cech
2 - Boswinga 3 - Terry 4 - Carvalho 5 - Cole
6 - Frings 7 - Deco 8 - Ribery
9 - Villa 10 - Eto'o
11 - Torres
TOTTENHAM
1 - Gomes
2 - Hutton 3 - A. Ferdinand 4 - Dunne 5 - Bale 7 - Bentley 6 - Poulsen 8 - Capel
9 - Modric
10 - Milito 11 - Podolski

not in a million years....... a.ferdinand,Dunne,podolski. are you sure !
by Peter on June 25, 2008
Surely Woodgate merits his place over someone like Dunne? Not to mention Dos Santos in mindfield! As for Ferdinand, Rio not a problem but his brother plays more like his sister!

Guys ...you cant be that thick....He didnt say this is what the team would be he was just making up a joke team from the players we have been linked with.

This article is all about MOCKING the red top papers, Im not for 1 sec implying that Dunne and Ferdinand would be selected over King and Woodgate, Im just showing how pathetic Transfer rumours can be thats all.

What is the point of this article? We know there is a lot of bollocks when it comes to transfer rumours. What a waste of my time. Telling people that there are a lot of transfer rumours and then name a team based around rumours. Fantastic!

-------------------Gomes - hutton------woodgate---ki ng-------bale - ---------new defensive midfielder - bentley-----------modric------dos santos - -------------keane-----berbatov
by Zac Schone on July 01, 2008
keane is useless! sell him, berbatov, maybe bent we will see, ramos wants to clear out and rake in the money he wants a new team altogether! diego capel, dos santos, gonzales, iniesta, jesus navas, eto, david villa, and more have all been linked with the club and ramos would love to have them all, for awhile ramos was keen on signing eto and that would of been great! but now it looks like ramos wants villa. capel was going to come for around 8m but now sevilla want more for there young winger, how far will ramos go to sign him. they need some new play makers eg, deco, sniejer, iniesta, xavi a midfielder comfortable on the ball and can give an unbelievable pass.ramos even put in a bid for david silva he is great! i think ramos is a great coach and if he buys what he wants and needs i think spurs may be able to break into the top four!
