Sven Heads for Machester City

After all the reports surrounding the Henry transfer, the dust has now settled, and it has gone pretty quiet in the football world today.

The biggest news is that Sven-Goran Eriksson has apparently agreed a 3 year deal to manage Manchester City, as long as the Shinawatra bid goes through. This is good news for City fans, Sven may not have the best reputation after his spell as England manager but people forget that he had a very good record in club management before his spell at England, and even as England manager his competitive record was very good. England may not have played the most attractive football under his management but I think that the break from management would have done him good and he'll come back to football refreshed and ready to build a decent team at City. Of course, this may not actually happen, as it all depends on Shinawatra's bid being allowed to go through. So we shall wait and see.

There could be another takeover going on in the Premiership with Carson Yeung interested in buying Birmingham. That bid is in its early stages though so we shall find out more about it in the coming week.

The same old transfer rumours going around, not much of note except that Ryan Babel has stated that he will not be moving to Arsenal this season, although he does see himself as an Arsenal player sometime in the future.

Finally, the Copa America is starting tonight in Venezuela, so in honour of the tournament I shall be doing a Copa report each day with match results and any players that could be the next big thing. hasta luego all.
