Transfer Speculation: Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich) to Chelsea/Manchester City

In Pete Jenson's highly speculative, three paragraph looks-like-it-was-written-whilst-watching-x-factor piece in The People Franck Ribery and Rino Gattuso are both wanted by both Chelsea and Manchester City.

Heavens be praised though there is a snatch of a quote from Carlo Ancelotti:

"People who doubt Gattuso don't know anything about football."

Although the main basis for suggesting that Ribery is on his way to England is, err, a singular lack of interest from Real Madrid. So he is going to move to Chelsea or Man City because another club has not shown any recent interest in signing him.

On that basis Barcelona or even Accrington Stanley could be making a move a move for me as we speak, simply because Young Boys of Berne have not shown any recent interest in me. Perhaps I should rephrase that.

Ribery is a fabulous player and would improve any club he joined and Gattuso may be past his prime but would add a touch of class to Man City's midfield. If the money's right then either player moving to England is possible - but a genuine supporting quote would be nice.

Probability: 1/5
