Ricardo Vaz Te: Transfer talk played down

Barnsley manager Keith Hill has dismissed rumours leading goalscorer Ricardo Vaz Te is about to follow Danny Drinkwater out of Oakwell.

Manchester United have accepted an undisclosed fee for midfielder Drinkwater and Vaz Te, who has fired 12 goals this season, is understood to have attracted interest from rival clubs.

But Hill told the club's official website: "It's just speculation, it's going to happen.

"There's a lot of mischievousness at this time of the year. Ian Holloway phoned me a couple of weeks ago about Jacob Butterfield, he hasn't phoned me about Ricardo Vaz Te.

"It's that time of the season but Ricardo will remain with us until at least the end of the season.

"He's too important to us to sell even though his contract's up at the end of the season. He's been instrumental this season and he's given himself an opportunity. He's matured as a person but, prior to this season, he had very little options."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
