Once again Carlos Tevez dominates the headlines with news that the dispute over his move to Man Utd will be settled in the High Court. This course of action comes after FIFA decided it couldn't make a judgement on the matter, and it seems to be what all the parties want. I'm not sure when a decision will be made on the matter, but let's hope it gets made relatively soon. I shall update once more is known.
Steven Pienaar has completed a one year loan move to Everton from Borussia Dortmund. He's a South African midfielder who played in the Dutch League before moving to Dortmund where he didn't enjoy the best of seasons. He'll be a good squad player for Everton, someone who can cover Cahill if he's out injured, but I think that he'll be coming off the bench for most of the season.
Benitez is confused about Man Utd's refusal to sell Gabriel Heinze to Liverpool. Utd sent a letter to Heinze and his agent declaring an amount that they would be prepared to sell him for, and Liverpool have met this amount. However Utd are obviously not keen to sell to their rivals and have rejected Liverpool's bid. At the moment, lawyers from both clubs are looking at the deal and the transfer hinges on whether the letter Utd sent to Heinze is the equivelent of a minimum-fee release clause. My legal knowledge is pretty iffy, so i'm not sure what decision will be made, but I shall keep you updated with any news.
Nothing else to report, but never fear, as the kick-off to the new season draws closer, there should be a flurry of signings. The Premiership clubs begin to feel the heat of the transfer deadline approaching and desperately try to bolster the squad, and as they do that, I shall be right here to comment on all the wheelings and dealings. So, we have plenty to look forward to, and on that note of hope, I shall take my leave.
