Joaquin tires of transfer rumblings

Real Betis winger extraordinaire Joaquin has finally grown weary of hearing his name mentioned with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid. The Spain World Cup standout is, once and for all, pledging his allegiance to the Seville side.

"I don't want to listen to any more speculation about these clubs,” declared Joaquin. “I have always answered with honesty and simplicity, but it is no longer acceptable.”

"I do not want to speak to any club other than Betis - I am happy here. Betis has given me everything.”
