Two Tedious Transfer Twists

The Ross Barkley saga goes from dull to worse with the news that the 23 year old has returned from a hernia operation, only to pull his hamstring during some light training.

Barkley will now undergo a scan.

Elsewhere, Sanchez to Spurs doesn’t look any closer to conclusion either.

An Ajax spokesman told Sky: “Last year Sanchez signed a five-year contract and we don’t want to let him go. That’s what [sporting director] Marc Overmars has told the player and his agents. He is a great player who is very important for us. Next to that, we never comment on rumours regarding transfers.”

Which corroborates this Dutch source this blog published last week. For some reason ESPN are now  trying to pass this off as an unnamed ESPN source.
