Gossip Gordon

Geeky Gossip Gordon is the man-boy charged with outing the next big transfer transfer rumours on Dexy's Den. His blogs tend to be light-hearted but don't let that fool you - in just three months he's already managed to upset an army of Nigerians, a Leicester City manager look-a-like and probably anyone who watched The One Show. When not engaging in this frivolity, GG spends his days writing for a techie magazine and picking his nose. He has freelanced for Four Four Two, Calcio Italia and a load of other publications you've never heard of.

Will Fabregas Ever Bugger Off?

July 22, 2011

Gossip Gordon has come out of retirement to address the pressing matters of the transfer market. Gordon knows that half of these rumours are probably made-up by the cleaner at The Sun or, in a bygone era, were probably found out by certain chaps listening in on intimidate phone calls between Kevin Keegan and Alan [...]

How Much Would Spurs Take For Gareth Bale?

November 5, 2010

It’s funny how quickly transfer speculation spreads. Two weeks ago, Gareth Bale was just an in-form left-winger playing for Tottenham. It was a simple as that. Now, he’s the hottest property in Europe and has to ‘clarify’ his future in regards to interest from Barcelona, Real Madrid and friends. How much would you put his value at now? I th [...]

Homesick Tevez Could Derail City’s Title Bid

October 29, 2010

One week on from Wayne Rooney’s transfer tantrum, and this week’s news is all about some proven players. Carlos Tevez is said to be missing Argentina and wants out, while Pepe Reina and Fernando Torres are probably just missing the feeling of winning games – hence the duo’s supposed wish to get out of Anfield. [...]

Shrekking Hell! Rooney To Quit Manchester United…

October 19, 2010

They say things don’t last forever but Roo would have thought this would happen 12 months ago? Back then, Wayne Rooney was talk of the town, goals-a-plenty and almost guaranteed to sleepwalk his way to a World Cup medal and the golden boost, if you happened to read any of the red-tops.

The ginger-haired ‘white Pele’ has since gone onto sco [...]

Wenger: “Schwarzer’s too old…it’s all about the youth”

October 8, 2010

The real talk this week has been about ageing goalkeepers. One of them, Edwin Van De Sar, looks set to retire to a world of cocoa, Countdown and lunch-time golf, while Mark Schwarzer is looking to prolong his career with a stint at Arsenal, where his job is likely to entail keeping goal, and babysitting Jack Wilshere and friends when mum and dad ar [...]

Will Torres Leave Liverpool?

October 1, 2010

To my disappointment, the transfer rumours are drying up. Premier league clubs are pre-occupied trying to win football matches while busy journalists just don’t seem to have the time to make-up Gary Cahill being ‘linked’ with Inter, or of Brett Ormerod ‘impressing’ Bayern Munich. Personally, I think the Premier League should spice up the [...]

Andy Carroll – Worth Money? Do Me A Bloomin’ Favour!

September 17, 2010

Let’s be honest here, most football transfer rumours originate in the minds of gawky journos who desperately make up this rubbish to stop them having to write another feature on how bloody good Paul Scholes is. Case in point of this rubbish – Andy Carroll to Tottenham?! Christ, what next, Tony Hibbert to Barcelona?

Anyway, some of these rumo [...]

Get Ready For The Management Merry-Go-Round!

September 10, 2010

The transfer deadline may have passed, but that’s not stopped people going in and out of football’s revolving doors. This week, its is all about the managers. Gerard Houllier has taken over Aston Villa while John Toshack resigned from his post as Wales boss. Meanwhile, Fabio Capello has said that he will quit after Euro 2012 – meaning that we [...]

Spurs Midfield Will Better Arsenal’s if Van De Vaart Signs

September 1, 2010

Transfer Deadline Day (TDD) is always a letdown. OK, so your club might sign a new left back, but that’s about as interesting as it gets.

This year was no exception. TDD ‘highlights’ were Sunderland paying £13 million for a unprolific Ghanaian, an ex-Fulham boss signing a Fulham player, Spurs POSSIBLY signing someone and AC Milan offering [...]

Will Liverpool Miss Mascherano? Referees Certainly Won’t!

August 27, 2010

So the big transfer news this week centres on James Milner’s eventual move to City and on Javier Mascherano’s inevitable transfer to Barcelona. How do you think these two will fare at their new clubs? Personally, I think that Milner could be a gem, if Mancini plays him centrally, but I am unconvinced by Mascherano. The Argies skipper hardly emb [...]

Gallas Or Cashley – Who Do You Hate More?

August 20, 2010

Finally, some action from Manchester City! All this talk over the past three weeks has been about which player City are going to sign, so I am pretty relieved that I can stop writing Mario Balotelli’s name in these blogs. Well, at least until January. Staying with City, James Milner looks like he’s finally on his way to Eastlands too. He’s a [...]
