More on Milito

The last twenty four hours have presented a not very flattering picture of how transfer rumours grow.

The first Milito link came with a story on goal.com , which then progressed onto Setanta Sports and Sky Sports. By Thursday lunchtime it was on Manchester Evening News and on BBC Sport's 'Gossip Column' under the 'Latest Gossip' section. This evening it showed up on the Daily Mail's website. All this from one goal.com story!

And the story still doesn't show on Marca.com. So the original source might well be wrong. In which case, all this fuss will have been about nothing.

There is one new story about Milito today, also from goal.com. Apparently Juventus want him. And it's only through looking for stories on this that I finally found a reference to City on a Spanish website about Milito. We are mentioned in this story on AS.com, as a club once interested (along with Spurs) in the possibly Turin bound striker.

(Any Spanish speakers would be very welcome to translate the piece and e-mail it to me)

I will stop at nothing before I get to the bottom of this - and so I have e-mailed Guillem Balague to see what he knows.
