Kebe: Contract wrangle
KEBE HEADING FOR ROYALS EXIT

Jimmy Kebe has said he expects to leave Reading in either January or the summer transfer window.
The Malian winger is out of contract in the summer and the Royals have offered their 27-year-old star an improved deal in an effort to keep him at the Madejski Stadium.
However, Kebe has rejected the proposed terms of an extension, and now appears to be on the verge of a move away from Berkshire.
He told the Reading Post: "I read the newspaper and (director of football) Nick Hammond was saying they offered me an extremely good contract, but I don't think so. I've talked to them since the beginning of the season and said I really wanted to stay. They keep saying they really want me to stay, but they don't show me in terms of a contract.
"Now I'm afraid I will leave in January or in the summer. A good contract for them is obviously not a good contract for me, so we will see in the next transfer window what will happen.
"I really want to stay and have talked to the manager (Brian McDermott) since pre-season, but we can't agree on the terms of the contract. There is no point for me to sign for one more year. We have talked for three of four months now and they offered me a 'top end' contract and I've refused it."

Neymar: Will remain with Santos until at least 2014
NEYMAR SIGNS NEW SANTOS DEAL

Brazil striker Neymar has halted speculation linking him with a move to Europe after agreeing a contract extension with Santos until at least the 2014 World Cup.
Neymar has long been a reported target of Chelsea although Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona were very much leading the chase for the 19-year-old's signature.
The highly-rated frontman, who has scored eight times for Brazil in just 15 appearances, has repeatedly denied his interest in leaving for one of Europe's elite sides, and on Wednesday backed up those words by committing to his current club until the World Cup is held in his homeland in three years' time.
"I'm one of the fans, I love to play for Santos and the happiness of being in my country," Neymar said at a press conference at which he was flanked by his father and Santos president Luis Alvaro Ribeiro.
"I'm a player who is making history in Santos. I'm glad to represent Santos and Brazil. I can only thank God for putting wonderful people on the path of my life.
"Here is where I'm happy and here is where I want to stay. I've always said that happiness would play a significant role in my decision."
Asked about his future after the World Cup, Neymar insisted that he could not see beyond Santos.
"I do not see myself leaving Santos," he said. "I plan to stay here a long time."
Ribeiro believes Brazil will be "a happier country" knowing that Neymar is staying at one of its biggest clubs.
"Some months ago we started a fight seen by some as a dream," he said on Wednesday.
"Finally this morning we finished the negotiations with the father of Neymar.
"Through dialogue, built day after day, he understood the permanence of Neymar ahead of the 2014 World Cup would provide a service to the country.
"I think Brazil is now a happier country."
