The Tevez Drama Continues and Sneaky Sven Gets Geovanni

Yet another twist in the Tevez transfer as West Ham refuse to allow him to have a medical at Man Utd. They, and the Premier League, still state that West Ham hold the registration of the player, and so any deal has to go through them. SInce no deal has been agreed, no medical can take place. What a mess, there's nothing I can say that hasn't been said before, so I just hope that all the parties sit down together and come to some sort of deal, because the person losing the most out of this is Tevez himself, and he deserves better.

In other news, we have a few signings to report. Man City have picked up midfielder Geovanni on a free transfer. He had been on trial at Portsmouth, but sneaky Sven managed to grab him from under their noses, and complete his third signing of the summer. A decent midfielder with a lot of experience, he should be a good squad player for City but will not solve their midfield problems. Still, he's the right type of player to have in your squad when there's 15 minutes left in a game, and you need to close out the win.

Aston Villa have won the race to sign Marlon Harewood from West Ham, right under the nose of Wigan who were favourites for his signature at the weekend. If there's anybody who can get the best out of a player like Harewood, it's Martin O'Neill. I still don't think it's a great signing but obviously O'Neill sees some potential there, so maybe I'll be proved wrong.

Dickson Etuhu has signed for Sunderland from Norwich in a 1.5 million pound deal. Have not seen a lot of this man but Norwich were not happy to see him go, especially as he started 42 games for them last season, making him a pretty key player in their line-up. He should add depth to the Sunderland midfield.

Well, I'm getting tired just thinking about the Tevez saga so I hope that I have some more positive news to report tomorrow on the transfer but I just can't see that happening. As always, your thoughts on any footballing issue are more than appreciated, and I shall try to reply to any comments or questions you may have...and on that note, I shall wish you good night.
