Michael Owen at the Reebok next season? Big Sam's clearly been off his
medication as he thinks it really could happen. "We already have two
former Real Madrid players, so you could never actually write off the

Wydad Casablanca striker Makhete Ndiaye has been suspended for the
rest of the Moroccan season after attacking his French coach Jacky
Bonnevay repeatedly with his boots.

And Arsenal will offer Gilberto Silva a new contract.

Jose Antonio Reyes is building bridges quicker than Brunel ever did -
he now insists that he's always wanted to stay at Arsenal.

Anderlecht striker Aruna Dindane is likely to snub Blackburn.

And Spurs' youth policy could be moonwalking in a worrying direction
as they home in on 16-year-old Bristol Rovers midfielder Scott
Sinclair.
