The Grab: 05.29

Oh Gazza, where did it all go wrong? The eternally tortured England legend can't seem to get a grip on his problems, and looks to be heading down the same road that engulfed George Best. [The Sun]

What is this I read? Did Second Choice Steve actually compare himself to Fabio Capello? While I'm not a huge fan of the current Fabio Capello, I'd hesitate to put Macca anywhere near the Real Madrid gaffer, let alone in the same sentence. [Sky Sports]

The original Rafa Benitez, tinkerman-extraordinaire who built most of Jose Mourinho's first title-winning side, will stay with Parma after guiding them out of the relegation zone in Serie A. Rumors had Claudio Ranieri in Manchester, talking with the current consortium interested in buying Manchester City. [Channel4]

Barca make a move for Boca striker Rodrigo Palacio, which could spell the end for Javier Saviola at the Nou Camp. Unfortunately, the blaugrana doesn't have a NY Yankees-inspired dress code that will convince the young Argie to cut that damn rat tail, which takes "Business in the front, party in the back" to new heights. [FC Barcelona Web]
