This statement just goes to show the kind of influence that the press, and in particular the tabloid (or gutter) have on the thinking of people these days.
The old addage that if you throw enough shi.t then eventually some will stick is clear here.
This member is now convinced that there is a good chance that Rafa will leave for Madrid just because of the number of times the story has appeared in the papers.
Scary.
I don't know. The tabloids usually get everything right, you know. Their job is to inform the people of goings on, not sell papers and advertising space by whatever means. Making up or exaggerating stories, and twisting people's words around. Do you honestly think they would go to such lows? I know I don't. Personally, I am still waiting for Aston Villa to announce the signing of Xabi Alonso. It hasn't happened yet, but it will. I know it's just a matter of time..
