Juan Mata: Not for sale this summer
VALENCIA INSIST MATA WON'T GO

Valencia president Manuel Llorente insists in-demand star Juan Mata will not be sold this summer.
A host of clubs are thought to be chasing Mata, with the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City all credited with an interest.
The 23-year-old has claimed he is happy to stay at Valencia, despite the near constant speculation over his future at La Mestalla.
Valencia coach Unai Emery admitted earlier this month they may sell if a big team comes in with an attractive offer because of the club's financial plight.
However, Llorente is adamant the skilful attacker is not for sale at any price.
"The decision is clear and money will not change our position," Llorente told Superdeporte.
"Valencia will not sell to any club that wants to buy Mata."

Kean: Only one signing so far this summer
NO CASH CRISIS AT BLACKBURN

Blackburn's owners insist a cash crisis is not the reason for a shortage of signings so far this summer.
Questions have been raised about the Venky's group in a pre-season when the inexperienced Myles Anderson has been the only arrival at Ewood Park.
Manager Steve Kean has always maintained negotiations for targets are ongoing, indeed Partizan have confirmed talks are taking place regarding the sale to Rovers of Serbia midfielder Radosav Petrovic.
But a mood of pessimism remains among Blackburn fans at a time when a tour of Asia is being undertaken with a squad containing just 16 players with more than one Premier League start to their name.
Venky's, though, insist there is no need to panic, as co-owner Venkatesh Rao told the Lancashire Telegraph: "Money is not a problem, the problem is miscommunication and the rumours have led to this situation, for which I am very sorry.
"We want to run it as a company, very systematically. On spending, we are very much meticulous and we want to do it positively."

Parker: No bids on the table

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has warned Tottenham not to wait too long if they want to sign Scott Parker this summer.
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has never hidden his admiration for Parker, but conceded a deal could be difficult due to the finances involved.
Parker is expected to leave Upton Park this summer as he seeks to stay in the Premier League following West Ham's relegation to the Championship.
However, Allardyce insists if Spurs leave it until the last minute to swoop for Parker they will be left disappointed.
"It is a worry that Spurs might wait until the last minute because it would be the wrong time to do it," said Allardyce.
"If they want to come and do it then, I will be telling the chairmen it is the most expensive time and not the cheapest.
"So if Harry is listening, or anyone at Tottenham, watch out, don't be waiting that long because you won't be able to do it."
West Ham expect Parker to move on before the close of the transfer window, but Allardyce claims there are no bids on the table for the England international.
"There are no bids for Scott at the moment so we continue to improve him as if he is going to start the season in our team, until such time as somebody bids the right money that would be acceptable to the club," added Allardyce.
"It's like that for every player at ever club. There is speculation and that will continue right through to August 31 unfortunately, but that is the way it is.
"We need to deal with it, it is very, very difficult indeed, but there is not a lot we can do about it."
