"Robinho move blocked = Baptista to Madrid"

[URL]http://soccernet.espn.go.com/section?id=europe&cc=5739[/URL]

Turns out that the deal for Robinho is never going to happen due to the confusion over the amount of money Real Madrid would have to pay to Santos.

So instead they've opted to sign Julio Baptista. Admittedly only Marca seem to have picked up this so far, but by what they're writing, it seems pretty much like a done deal for 20 million Euros.

Edit - just confirmed on the BBC. £13.8 million to Sevilla, and Baptista signs for Real.

Wonder where Robinho will go, then, if anywhere.

Hmmm it seems that is you Stryke who is more pre-occupied with the name dropping. For that i put forward the notion that it is you and not me who has the man-love.

Anyway tough luck, my heart belongs to the one called Cristiano

Now that's pretty funny.

I feel compelled to defend the sweet American. He's a pretty good poster, and all. Also, he namechecked me, not once, not twice, but thrice. And he says I'm good at banter.

I don't even talk that nicely to girls I want to fondle.

Well you know us Yanks, never ones to show up on time :-D

Yes, they are.

And I wasn't criticising the joke, but the timing.

His name? Who was it that was criticising bad jokes?

Now, you must understand that Spurs are a big pile of man-goo. It's just the facts, sweetstuff.

I was talking about his name, really, although....erm...kind of.

What? You're not a Spurs fan, are you?

You can't hurt your own family though...

Ah the delusional Spurs fan, the common enemy.

Scopeh is also good for much mocking opportunities
