Raulgate??
Seems like the Spanish Striker is no longer happy being a royal blue miner and is set to move to Blackburn Rovers.
Rovers have made an official enquiry and Raul was given 24 hours to make up his mind, according to the daily mail. They also claim Raul refused to celebrate his amazing goal in Schalke 5-1 win against Koln this Saturday "in a pointed gesture that was widely seen as a hint he could be on his way."
The goal:
It was reported since the pre-season that Raul is unhappy with Schalke's new coach Rangnick, who, according to Schalke_UK twitter, has asked Raul to run and pass the ball forward more, instead of the more or less free rule he was given my former coach Magath.
Schalke_UK twitter also claims the matter will be decided by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. From the qoutes and actions of Schalke's director of sport Horst Heldt , it doesn't seem like Schalke are too bothered about letting him go...
Update: Apparently, according to Schalke_UK it's confirmed. Wow, faster transfer drama ever pretty much...
And another update: Now he's staying... lol, this is basically transfer-gate on acid or something.
