The start of the week sees more news on the Tevez transfer with Sir Alex Ferguson coming out and stating that he expects the move to be completed quite soon. He actually thought that the deal would be completed by the weekend but, suprise suprise, it seems like the Premier League may be holding up the deal. It seems like no-one knows just what is actually going on in the transfer, and it will be interesting to see exactly what happens when the transfer goes through. I'm thinking an undisclosed deal, with the Premier League making a statement that no rules have been breached, and all the parties getting a nice deal from the transfer...cynical, but there you go.
Fulham have signed Diomansy Kamara for 6 million pounds from West Brom, a bit expensive you may think, but Nugent will probably be moving to Portsmouth for the same amount so it's a relatively good deal. He didn't really set the premiership alight in his previous spell with West Brom, but he seems to have matured in the Championship and should cause defenders some problems this season. Interesting to note that Sanchez has just spent 10 million on 2 players, but I can't remember Coleman ever getting that kind of backing. The football world is definitely very unfair, but you have to feel sorry for Coleman, he never got the chance to really show what he could do at Fulham, and I hope he gets success at Sociedad.
According to his agent, Liverpool have apparently made a 10 million bid for Ryan Babel, the Dutch U-21 winger who has been constantly linked to Arsenal. He was widely reported to have said that he was staying at Ajax for 1 year before moving to Arsenal, but the footballing world is fickle so I wouldn't be suprised to see him head towards Liverpool if their bid is accepted. A decent winger would be the final piece of their puzzle, and a player like Babel would really add an extra dimension to their play.
What a suprise, Gallas has had a go at Arsenal. You can read his comments on his official website, or on Teamtalk, if you can really be bothered, but I don't know what he thinks he's actually going to achieve through a bunch of comments on his website. I'm sure this won't be the last we hear of him, and I bet you can't wait for his next outburst...I know I can't.
Argentina and Mexico are through to the Copa America semis with victories over Peru and Paraguay respectively. Both were high-scoring games and the semis look like they are going to be pretty tasty. I shall keep you informed.
Right, I'm off to bed, the life of the blogger is one long party, night all.
