Football transfer rumours: Gerard Piqué back to Manchester United?
Today's fluff needs a new alarm

Prickly teenager André Villas-Boas says he doesn't need the backing of the players at Chelsea, he only needs the support of Roman Abramovich. Bye André! Bye! Let's just make Jay Tee manager now. Chelsea's new-found lowly status was confirmed after Zambia's Africa Cup of Nations hero Stoppila Sunzu said he'd quite like to join them. Or Bolton. Whatever, they're basically the same now. See what you've done, 'AVB'? "I have a dream to play in England as I prefer Chelsea and Bolton Wanderers," says the defender.
Larry David isn't a fan of needless stop-and-chats – being affable gets you nowhere in this life – and nor is Paris Saint-Germain defender Diego Lugano, who has offered his backing to Luis Suárez for not shaking Patrice Evra's hand. "You have to have balls to do what Luis did on Saturday," says Lugano, apparently unaware that women, too, are more than capable of ignoring someone just for the fun of it. "He followed his principles. We live in a democracy and if you don't want to greet someone, you don't do it." Strong words, although it might just be a ploy to get Suárez to join him at PSG in the summer. However Liverpool have looked at their other attacking options, spotted a giant confused ponytail walking around the training ground asking for directions to Bigg Market, and have decided it's probably best if they don't sell Suárez just this second.
Arsène Wenger has come to the same conclusion most people reached in 2006 and is planning to get rid of lily-livered-sprint-and-hope-merchantTheo Walcott. Andrey Arshavin, Marouane Chamakh, Sébastien Squillaci, Tomas Rosicky and Park Chu-young are also expected to leave, as Wenger prepares himself for more summer rebuilding. Franny Jeffers is available.
To convince Robin van Persie not to hammer the final nail into the coffin, Wenger will be after Eden Hazard and Mario Götze this summer. Unfortunately Hazard's dad is fluttering his eyelids at ... Tottenham. AndManchester United and Juventus are in the race for Götze, valued at £33m by Borussia Dortmund. Oh Arsène.
United have been "alerted" to a row between Gerard Piqué and Pep Guardiola after the Barcelona defender was left on the bench at Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday night, meaning he could become the world's first ever Frisbee Footballer, pinging back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth between Old Trafford and the Camp Nou until he retires. Saving that, they could just annoy Barcelona by beating them to Valencia's £20m defender Adil Rami. United are also set to do battle with Manchester City for Derby County's wonderkid Will Hughes, with the winner of said battle set to unveil a gaudy triumphalist poster in Deansgate.
One man on his way out of City could be 1920s New York gangster John Guidetti, currently banging them in left, right and centre during his loan spell at Feyernoord. Afonso Alves, Dirk Kuyt, Mateja Kezman, that's what the Mill's got to say on the matter. Anyway the 19-year-old Swede could be on his way to Inter, with Arsenal and Bayern Munich also keen.
Tottenham are scouting Ajax's £12m centre-back Jan Vertonghen, who will continue the proud tradition of Belgian centre-backs in north London. Fulham are following Baroness Warsi's plans to re-introduce faith into public life by moving for Anderlecht's Congolese striker Dieumerci Mbokani, whose first name literally translates as "Thank God" in French. The Mill knew that French A-Level would come in handy one day. Fulham are also keeping tabs on Hoffenheim's Ghanaian centre-back Isaac Vorsah. Cardiff reckon they can get Championship Manager's Peter Lovenkrands on loan from Newcastle. Steve Brucereckons he's the man to stop Wolves from going down. The Mill does not.
