Will some club take a punt on Jordan Rhodes?

I'd be surprised if someone stumps up the money. Hudds won't accept any less than £5 mill I'd have thought and that would be a big gamble on a League 1 player.

I'd say Spurs. Reported racist chanting from select Liverpool fans towards 20-year-old Oldham midfielder Tom Adeyemi reduces him to tears. Disgusting if true.

2157: Some news from tomorrow's newspapers to bring you here, as the Independent reckon that Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to let Wayne Rooney leave Manchester United due to a breakdown in their relationship. That would be massive.

Well I certainly hope he reports it to the referee who in turn should contact the club. Not surprising though, there are a fair few knuckle dragging neanderthals that frequent the Kop End. Seems someone hasn't learnt from the Suarez incident, if it WAS racial comments. There is no official word yet, so at the moment it is pure speculation.

From the man himself (or whoever runs his twitter account):
The independent are talking absolute rubbish my future is with Manchester United and the club and I are totally commited to each other. The manager and I have no issues and anyone who says different don't know what they are talking about.

They have just put out a statement denying the Rooney story aswell, doesn't this happen every year?

As I said, it's only 'reported'. There's another story now coming out that something was 'allegedly' thrown at him.

At the moment there is quite a lot on twitter about it, especially from a couple of people who were sat very near where these "so called fans" were, and they say that they were drunk, swearing, but no racist comments were made. Apparently it was "you manc *******".

A BBC journalist has tweeted saying no fans arrested in relation to the Adeyemi issue and he spoke with police about it after the game.

EDIT: Confirmation seems to be that a coin was thrown at Adeyemi.
