Well now, when it comes to football, one man has for many years been the most noticeable, the most controversial, and occasionally the most successful blogger this country has ever produced. His pithy words and abrasive style make him as famous off the pitch as he is on it. This man is Escapini. "I love football. Football she's a cruel mistress. She's, she's more than a mistress. She's a wife, she's a mother, she's a daughter, she's an errant child. She's a… she's a… she can make you laugh, she make you cry. She can bring tears me eyes. She can bring blood to me shoulders. She can bring a kettle to the boil." "Cause football is about nothing, unless it's about something and what it is about, is football."

Levy Quoted £22m For The Special One’s Out Of Favour Hitman

Unsettled Real Madrid midfielder, Kaka, is heavily rumoured to be a name on Harry Redknapp’s wanted list.

The 2007 World Player Of The Year has had a disappointing spell at the Bernabeu since joining from AC Milan in 2009. Patchy form and injuries have seen the Brazilian grow out of favour under Jose Mourinho with the Portuguese boss willing to let Kaka leave if he receives a £22m offer.

A Madrid source said,

“Kaka has always interested other clubs and Mourinho has decided that he has far better options in midfield so the best thing to do is to move him on.

“There has been no concrete offer but it is now known that the club would accept an offer in the region of £22m.”

The introduction of fresh blood at White Hart Lane will be required if a permanent deal for Adebayor cannot be secured and the form of Defoe and Pavlyuchenko remains so miserly.
