Too bad those Chelsea rumours have died off
That was more PR from his mates in the media IMO. They were also saying he was in with a shout of the Bayern Munich game, they asked some German commentator and he pissed himself because it was an open secret they'd had an agreement with Heynkes for months.
at the end of the season guardiola will be out from barca. i feel hughes is learning spanish language ...
It's probably not far from the what Kia was putting into Hughes' head (and the press) over the summer. Here are Kia's rules of operation:
1. Find a potentially valuable asset e.g. Tevez, De Jong, Modric, Hughes ...
2. Tell the asset that they're the most talented person the universe has ever seen, that any club would be desperate to have them, and he can get them any deal they want, at any club they want.
3. Place articles in the tabloids about how unhappy the asset is, to try and influence negotiations with clubs.
4. Once the articles have failed to produce any tangible results at all, encourage the asset to go on strike, or break their contract.
5. erm ... Nothing. That's it. That's why Modric never got the move to Chelsea, why Tevez is training on his own, why Mascherano fired Kia, and why Hughes is unemployed. All Kia can actually do is pay off tabloids to write unsettling articles. That's it.
Hughes will most likely end up back at Blackburn, or Sunderland or Wolves, probably on less money than he was on at Fulham.
No 'top European club' after all, Kia.
