Not even Jose. The rumour on Monday was an Ibra-Eto'o swap, but that was pure Catalan fantasy. In ten years, some enterprising Spaniard will write a dissertation on the magic realist core of Marca's coverage of the "Christiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid" "story". They've kept it up for over a week now, getting more feverish by the day. The flacks pushing the Sex in the City film could learn something from them. No one.

It only lasted 20-25 minutes. One can reasonably conclude (and every paper here already has) that they didn't discuss the upcoming season in detail or any of Mancini's issues with the Inter has been run in recent years. A formal announcement of the terms of the separation is expected in the next 24 hours. It will be very interesting to see what Mourinho does with this team.
