Bloody hell…
If Sky Sports are to be believed - and they have an excellent track record so there’s little reason to doubt them - the Corinthians are sending Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano to West Ham on season-long loans.

If we believe what we read – and let’s face it; in this case, no one has ever denied its authenticity – it was one of the most shocking and tactless methods a footballer has ever employed to inform his club he wants out.
Last May, following an end of season 4-2 defeat at The Library, Pascal Chimbonda marched into the visitor’s dressing room alongside his Wigan teamates. Once inside, he fished in his kit bag, produced two pieces of paper and handed them to his manager, Paul Jewell. One document was a transfer request, the other; a letter thanking the club for the opportunity it had afforded him.
Thereafter, to paraphrase a popular expression, the faeces collided with the mechanical air-cooling device. LARGE style.

Mr Reyes is not only homesick, apparently he’s jealous of Ashley Cole and William Gallas in hogging the headlines for demanding transfers.
I mean - we know you don’t like to play in England, we know that you want to go to Spain, we get it.
Do you have to give desperate interviews to Spanish newspapers again and again and again?

Not content with having had his 15 days of fame (as Manchester United’s primary target for a DM), Senna is now telling the world (or at least NOTW) that the actual reason Manchester United didn’t sign him was because their sponsors, AIG, preferred English players.

Paul Robinson says that Carrick’s sale to Manchester United was a ’step back’ for Tottenham - and it’s a position that has its merits (and certainly when Carrick says that he’s moved to a ‘massive’ club that just adds to the fun).

Last season filled every single Spurs fan with an enormous amount of pride. For the first time in recent history, the White Hart Lane outfit had not only managed to keep up with their North London neighbours in the league, but also provide stiff competition in the North London derbies.
So what to expect for the season ahead? A repeat performance, improvement or decline? To examine the potential of the season ahead, I will look at several factors; Michael Carrick, transfers and tactics.

Two matches in a row now, we’ve kept a lion’s share of possession, played some pretty passing football outside the opponent’s penalty area, have conceded a goal to go behind and have looked completely lost when it comes to doing what wins you football matches: putting the ball in the bloody net.
