If there is any truth in the interest of Barcelona then that would go a long way to explaining Lovrens transfer request
 
Is there any truth in the rumour that Dejan said on Croatian TV that he hadn't made any transfer request and that reports that he had were untrue?
 

The article from the express quotes a source of AS which is a spanish news agency, i went on there website and found the only article on Lovren to Barcelona

The headline using google translate

Barca want to sign Lovren, according to the Daily Mail
The search is a central priority for Zubizarreta. Last year, Dejan Lovren Lyon left the departing Southampton for 7 'kilos'.

EDIT: Got to love google translate - It appears Liverpool have got personal with a few of our players

While Barca Finalizes the sale of Cesc to Chelsea and buying Rakitic, Barca already moves record for the greatest need him a central guarantee. The Daily Mail says Zubizarreta is considering a move to catch the main owner of the Croatian national team.

Also, the 24 year old would also have been groped by Liverpool, which has already led to one of his teammates, Rickie Lambert. The possibility of Barcelona and Liverpool to undertake the transfer would have a main factor, which is the desire to play Lovren the next edition of the Champions League, which greatly facilitate their departure.

On the other hand, is convinced that Chelsea has to further strengthen his midfield following the departure of Lampard. According to the Express, Mourinho would also be Song, after taking official the signing of Cesc for 33 million euros. The price that Chelsea would be willing to pay for Cameroon is 12.5 kilos, quite lower than Barca paid for him two years ago figure.
 
Worth bearing in mind that AS are basically the propaganda arm of Real Madrid, so their stories about Barcelona might not be entirely on the level. Printing a rumour that their rivals are after a defender who conceded a penalty in the opening game of the world cup is the kind of thing that would appeal to them I think.

They also cite the Daily Mail as their source which should probably ring alarm bells as well!
 
Anyone that thinks that our Board are unambitious should spare a thought for Baggies fans, they have just appointed Alan Irvine (who?), whose previous experience includes getting sacked from Preston and relegating Sheffield Wednesday!.....

We have nothing to moan about, really.
 
Croatia's players are refusing to talk to World Cup media after photos of them were published bathing nude in their hotel pool, coach Niko Kovac says.

The blackout was enforced after two photographers hid in bushes near the team hotel and took pictures of players that appeared online.
Southampton centre-back Dejan Lovren and former Manchester City defender Vedran Corluka, now with Lokomotiv Moscow, featured prominently in the photographs.

Kovac added: "I respect my players' opinion and I also know that you have done a very professional job so far but you blew it with this one. The whole world has seen the photos."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WTF!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
 
Has Fran seen them? I fear she may faint.

Seriously though, uncool journalism.
