What secret is the right hand keeping from the left?
In the case of Montreal Impact and Bologna FC owner Joey Saputo, none regarding in-form striker Didier Drogba.
The Montreal Impact took to its official website to quash any rumours linking Drogba to a possible loan arrangement with Bologna.
"The Impact denied those rumours on Tuesday, originally reported by Italian media and newspapers who cover soccer almost exclusively, and on a daily basis," the team wrote in a statement. "The Italian club, the Impact, nor Drogba have ever discussed this possibility."
Drogba, 37, has had a blistering start to his MLS career, scoring 12 goals in 13 games and propelling the Impact to a postseason berth. A 2-1 win over the Columbus Crew in the first leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals sets up Montreal well for a potential spot in the conference finals, too.
As for Bologna, the Italian outfit is currently 18th in Serie A, battling for relegation survival 11 games into the season - a situation Mr. Saputo is probably cheesed over.
