Football transfer rumours: Sergio Agüero to join Barcelona?

Luis Su?rez has been flapping his gums again. It's the middle of July, there's another eight weeks of this, at least the Mill hopes there's only another eight weeks of this, please don't tell the Mill there's more than another eight weeks of this, the Mill doesn't know what it would do if there was another eight weeks of this, it would probably do nothing actually, it would probably just get on with life but, to return to the original point that has been lost in this somewhat sub-grammatical and winding sentence, you cannot force the Mill to get excited about what Luis Su?rez has to say about maybe, possibly, being open to a move to Arsenal or Chelsea. But that's not going to happen, is it, he'll be off to Real Madrid as soon as they can be bothered to cobble together the ?40m required to keep Liverpool sweet, which they probably won't get round to doing until the end of August, so everyone sit tight until then.

Christian Benteke is also making the Mill's life difficult. He'll be leaving Aston Villa for a fee of ?25m this summer, that's for certain, but he's in no hurry, he quite fancies starring in his very own Transfer Saga first. Chelsea or Tottenham? Tottenham or Chelsea? Chelsea or Tottenham? Tottenham or Chelsea? You see how this can become very boring very quickly. If it was up to the Mill, Benteke would be wedged into a cannon and blasted in the general direction of London with the hope of landing outside either Stamford Bridge or White Hart Lane ? but if it's The New Den, though, that's his own bad luck.

Cristiano Ronaldo, of course, is no stranger to the Transfer Saga, having starred in two in the summers of 2008 and 2009. He's up for a third go this summer but Madrid are planning to frustrate Manchester United's plans for a beautiful reunion by handing Ronaldo a fat new contract. United will console themselves by upping their bid for Everton's Leighton Baines, so every cloud.

Sergio Ag?ero has "told friends" that he wants a move to Barcelona, who are still refusing to sign the four defenders they need to restore their credibility. Manchester City will replace Ag?ero with Fiorentina's Stefan Jovetic, who never tells his friends anything, the big meanie.

Alan Pardew is furious about Paris Saint-Germain's manager Laurent Blanc going public with his admiration for the Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Kebab. "He can get on the phone to me or make a bid," roared Pards. "I think that's the right way to do it. I think the way it's come out isn't perhaps respectful to Yohan. That's something I want to talk to him about." But what's this from Joe Kinnear's sidekick later in the very same article about Aston Villa's Darren Bent and QPR's Lo?c R?my? "Both of those players are on our list, I make no bones about that," said Pardew, trying and failing to make some butter melt in his mouth. "But they are under contract at other clubs. It's nice for our fans to hear names, but I don't want to disrupt other clubs' preparations." Noble sentiments indeed.

Boing Boing! Chelsea Pensioners! Boing Boing! Having already snapped up Nicolas Anelka, Steve Clarke wants to bring Florent Malouda and Salomon Kalou to West Brom. If they re-hire Roberto di Matteo, they'll be champions of Europe in 2015.

Arsenal have pitched up outside Loftus Road and they're not going to leave without Julio C?sar. They're happy to play nice about it though; they'll give QPR ?1.5m for the Brazilian goalkeeper.

Cardiff are poised to sign Tom Ince from Blackpool ? you watch, he'll be pictured in the Daily Star wearing a Swansea kit next year ? Southampton are close to sealing a remarkably shrewd ?12.5m deal for Celtic's Victor Wanyama and Hull are preparing for life in the Championship in the 2014-15 season by lining up Carlton Cole and Connor Sammon on free transfers.
