Want to Get Rich? Then Read On

So you want to get rich? Here's what you have to do. Go down to your local park or football ground, have a look at some games, pick out a few playes that show potential and then...buy them. Yep, go up to them and buy all their personal rights for a set fee. If they're young, ask their parents for the rights, and hey, while you're at it, buy the rights to their brothers, just in case. Plus, it doesn't even matter if they're good at football or not! Buy your friend's rights and take a portion of his earnings as well as making him fetch food and drink for you, everone can be a winner!

This whole Tevez transfer stinks. It was pretty smelly when he first moved to West Ham, and now it's getting smellier by the day. West Ham claim that no move to Man Utd can go ahead without them because they tore up all agreements with Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian in April, but representatives of Tevez claim that he's about to have a medical in Venzuela before officially signing for Man Utd. Who to believe?

Well, West Ham cannot simply tear up a contract, the modern world does not work like that otherwise everyone would do the same and chaos would begin. I believe that West Ham do not really own Tevez and their claim that Tevez cannot move without them is designed to throw up a smoke screen to the Premier League, who will penalise them heavily if they are found to be lying. The fact is, if they had torn up the contract with Joorabchian, then surely he would be already taking them to court for compensation due to a breach of contract. However, there has been no talk of this, and Tevez has never come out and stated that he has bought back his rights from Joorabchian, which leads me to conclude that Tevez can move wherever his agent wants him to go.

If West Ham did tear up the contract, then fair enough, but any money they get for the potential transfer will probably end up ging towards compensation to Joorabchian for the breach of contract. Everyone is looking closely at this transfer and it will be interesting to see what happens in the next 24 hours.

Sven and Thaksin have taken over Man City. Sven is officially their new manager, and Thaksin Shinawatra has gained control of 75% of Man City shares. I've already commented on both characters before, good luck to Sven, I have a feeling that he may suprise us all and do quite well, and Thaksin's takeover...Well, it just shows how bad the Premier League's "fit and proper person" test actually is, in that he managed to pass despite having a human rights record that would lead to him being chucked out of most other countries.

Transfer talk has gone pretty quiet with West Ham closing in on Craig Bellamy, and Sunderland agreeing a fee for Chris Baird from Southampton. Of the two transfers, I'd definitely rather have Baird in my side, he's a quitely effective centre-back who has potential to grow into a better player...whereas Bellamy is someone who doesn't seem to quite grasp the idea of teamwork, and who seems to be a negative influence wherever he goes. There's no doubting his talent, but he will never get anywhere if he doesn't stop pissing people off, and sadly I can't see that ever happening.

And now for the big announcement, quiet at the back please, drum roll....deadballdispute is pleased to announce the 'Friday Night Review'. In this feature I shall reveal the best 3 transfers of the week, and describe why I believe the top player will make such an impact on the Premiership. Stay tuned for the first review...
