2011 Summer transfer ins and outs and rumours

[Will]

Isn't Owen out of contract yet? I'd got the impression he was with people talking about him leaving. It'd be funny if he ended up at Southampton, though I can't quite see it. Did he play enough games to get a winners medal? Didn't seem like he played 10 games...

Yeah, he got a medal. Played 11 league games. The cut off is 10, but the club always get 2 or 3 spares for players who have contributed greatly, but not played enough games, to hand out at their own discretion.
Valencia being a perfect example this season. Only played 9 games, but still gets a medal.
Which I think is right, because I'm not sure we'd have made it past the finish line, had he not come back when he did.

As far as I know, Owen is still under contract.

Couple of rumours I heard today.

Drogba and Fabregas to City.

Both sound quite likely to me.

Can't see Drogba wanting to play second fiddle to an inferior player at the rent boys next season, so I reckon he'll be off for sure.

I can see Villa loosing a more players. We have had the same small squad problem for bloody ages now!
