Guardian piece on Jol

Amazing read which I suggest everyone read. Found this via
an Arsenal site, but I must admit, I feel sorry for Jol.

Well that places the blame for Tottenham’s transfer dealings and squad composition on the shoulders of the board. If Jol has had to work with players he didn’t want his two 5'st place finishes are a remarkable achievement.

Chelsea looking to snag Dinho from Barca.

Saw this on another site as well. Seems unlikely, but who the [censored] knows anymore!

[guilt_trip]

Ronaldinho rumour is really gaining momentum. I just want it to happen to see the look on Ferguson's face when Ronaldinho lines up in a Chelsea shirt against him

Ronaldinho seemed unsettled last year in Barca so y'never know

[ThaSaltCracka]

potential lineup for Chelsea with him:

------------Drogba--------------
Malouda--Dinho--Essien-Lampard--SWP


Maybe with Ronaldinho playing a SS role.

thats quite an attack.

[medgar]

More likely he'd drop either SWP or Malouda rather than one of his workhorses in midfield surely? Be hard to see him wanting to revamp the formation again since Ronaldinho would slide pretty well into 4-3-3 as it is.

To summarize rumors I've seen by Googling:

* Ronaldinho wants out because of high Spanish taxes, asking his brother (and agent) to talk to Chelsea.

* But Barcelona doesn't want to give up Ronaldinho and will not sell him.

* The contract Ronaldinho has requires a transfer fee of 85M pounds!

* Possibly related, Thierry Henry didn't start for Barca last game and was upset at that.
