Edu gone, as Robinho rumours gather pace..

It seemed certain that Edu would join Valencia in January, only for it to fall through at the last minute. After the spaniards did away with Claudio Ranieri, the Brazilian midfielder was linked with a succession of clubs, including Manchester United, Villareal, and Juventus.
But, after all that, he’s gone and joined Valencia. Good luck to you, Edu.
Meanwhile, word is spreading that chief scout Steve Rowley has been over in Brazil watching Santos star Robinho.
Right now, everyone at the club is on holiday for a couple of weeks, but after that I’d expect some sort of movement on the Brazilian front, as it were.
Also, I’ll bet you can’t wait for all the “Henry to Barcelona” stories that will doubtless follow the attached quotes.
Should be great fun.
Things to look forward to:
- Tomorrow’s verdict on the Ashley Cole/Chelsea “tapping” scandal.
- My forthcoming “Review of the Season”.
Till then.
