Carlos Tevez is on his way back to Manchester where he is expected to make up with Roberto Mancini and be included back in the City squad. I think it is a sign of how worried that City are that they will not win the league that they are willing to forgive and forget Tevez's actions.

And as a reminder of the kind of person he is, Tevez gave a farewell interview in Argentina with Fox Sports in which he made some incredible statements about the club, fans and manager.

Giovani Dos Santos is no stranger to moving during the winter transfer window, but instead of what has happened in past years, he is on the verge of leaving club purgatory for good.

Forever glued to the bench at Tottenham, the 22-year-old Mexican star is on the verge of a full transfer to Spanish club Villarreal, according to reports from Europe.

Wigan Athletic 0-1 Manchester City Premier League 16th January 2012

An Edin Dzeko header midway through the first-half was enough to give Manchester City a win at the DW Stadium on Monday night, a victory that puts them three points clear of rivals Man United at the top of the table.

In the final game before the Bosnian Premier League's winter break, Velez Mostar were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw against GOSK.

Danijal Brkovic and Velez Mostar will be looking to pick up a valuable three points in the Bosnian Premier League when they visit GOSK Gabela in their final game before the long winter break.

American forward Danijal Brkovic went the distance and scored his first ever Bosnian Premier Liga goal for Velez as they cruised to a 3-0 win against Sloboda Tuzia at Stadion Vrapand#269;iand#263;i on Saturday.

After earning just one point in their last five games in the Bosnian Premier Liga, Velez Mostar will look to return to their winning ways when they host relegation fodder Sloboda Tuzla on Saturday.

Not much changes happens in the top of Premier League on Saturday as Manchester City holds their current five points lead over second place Man United, while Chelsea and Newcastle still battles on for the third place.

However, things isn't actually easy on Saturday especially for the league leader, who can consider themselves a bit lucky in managing to nick a win against Queens Park Rangers (QPR) which City's striker, Edin Dzeko, believed as their toughest test so far.

After a strong start to the season, Velez Mostar have lost their last three games and have fallen into seventh place in the Bosnian Premier Liga.

Stoke City have enjoyed a promising start to the season and it is clear that despite the increasing number of matches they have been playing due to Europa League involvement, Tony Pulis' men can cope with the challenging demands.

One of the reasons why the Potters have been so impressive is a strong defense, anchored in the Premier League by Bosnian goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, who has been able to focus exclusively on the domestic front due to the presence of veteran Thomas Sorensen in the squad.

Another example of how that heady mix of religion and football can go horribly wrong, a Bosnian Premier League game in Mostar between locals rivals Velez and Zrinjksi ended in rather frightening scenes last week.

Rijad Demic, playing for Velzez, a team from the Muslim side of Mostar, netted the winning goal in extra-time, a strike that the Croat fans of Zrinski didn't take too kindly too.

Things got ugly in Wednesday's Bosnian Cup match between FK Velež Mostar and H K Zrinjski Mostar in the ethnically divided town's derby match when Zrinjski fans invaded the pitch to chase visiting Velez players. The incident occurred in second half stoppage time right after Rijad Demic scored for Velez.

Manchester City's eventful week went from bad to worse when the club confirmed that Carlos Tevez has been suspended until his alleged refusal to come on as a substitute against Bayern Munich is fully reviewed.

The joint Barclays Premier League leaders suffered a humbling 2-0 defeat at the Allianz Arena as German international striker Mario Gomez once again proved his mettle.

By Chris Wright

Man City were given a bit of a humbling by Bayern Munich in the Champions League last night, eventually going down 2-0 in the Allianz Arena courtesy of a brace from Mario Gomez.

However, the major talking point emanated from the City bench where, according to a pretty peeved Roberto Mancini, Carlos Tevez flatly refused to enter the fray as a second-half substitute a claim that Tevez himself has denied this morning, citing that he was 'ready to play' and that it was all just a big 'misunderstanding'.

From one recalcitrant to another, we have Mancini's first test: curing a suicidal Manchester City malaise (by Darshan Joshi)

At least Roberto Mancini's selection headaches are thinning. The petulance of Edin Džeko will see the Bosnian left out of City's weekend clash with Blackburn, while Carlos Tévez's latest insipid tirade has seen Mancini finally pull the plug on last season's top goalscorer.

Reports in Germany have resurfaced linking Liverpool with a move for Werder Bremen midfielder Marko Marin, according to the reports Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has marked the 22 year old German International as his number one winter target.
Marin has previously been linked with a whole host of European clubs, at one stage it was thought that he would be heading to Old Trafford, then Arsenal became the favoured destination for the player labelled as the German Messi, now it is Liverpool's turn to be linked with the Bosnian born midfield maestro.

Not having the best six months start in his premiership experience didn't make Edin Dzeko gave up hope on trying for Manchester City as in the start of this new season, the Bosnian international proved all the doubters wrong as he already scored 7 goals in 4 matches.

The 25-years-old now has the chance to rack up more goals and even becoming a top scored, but apparently although the opportunity is looking bright, getting the golden boot isn't Dzeko's main goal this season.

Manchester City, despite their riches, struggled last season for goals and lacked enough creativity. Mancini employed a cautious defensive approach utilising the leadership of Vincent Kompany last season. The splurge on Edin Dzeko in January was aimed at giving Man City a huge goal threat.

Chelsea became the third member of the traditional "Big Four" to drop points on opening weekend as they could only muster a 0-0 draw against Stoke this afternoon. Andre Villas-Boas will be disappointed with his side's lack of a cutting edge, but Stoke boss Tony Pulis will be pleased with his side's resilience.

Nikoa Saric is joining Hajduk Split on a free transfer after being released by Liverpool FC.
The Bosnian-born 20-year-old failed to break into the first team during three years at Anfield.
The striker was highly rated when the Reds beat off competition from Barcelona to sign him in 2008 but he failed to realize his potential.

In an unusual display of awareness of world current affairs, Romania supporters wound up Bosnia fans with a banner in support of alleged Serbian war criminal Ratko Mladić during last night's Euro 2012 qualifier. A 'Free Mladic' banner was unfurled in the Romania support prompting angry scenes among the Bosnian following, who ripped up chairs [.

Having successfully opening his account in the Premier League with Manchester City in the club's latest match against Blackburn Rovers, last Monday, Edin Dzeko believes that it would be the start of many for him in the future.

Dzeko admitted that it's been difficult start for him, especially considering he just arrived at the club this winter, but the Bosnian international stated that his condition is understandable considering there are others that facing the same problem, naming Chelsea's Fernando Torres as one of them.

This Edin Dzeko goal vs Blackburn was the Bosnian striker's first Premier League goal for Man City. Dzeko's first league goal for Man City came in the 75th minute of Man City's 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers in April 25, 2011. This Dzeko goal against Blackburn came just three minutes after the former had been [.

Revenge. Bettering City's 0-3 dominance in the reverse fixture, beating City as thoroughly as City beat Sunderland last week. Liverpool strolled for the final 55 minutes after Carroll tallied the third – his second of the match – the opposition, fully demoralized, fumbled aimlessly.

Renato Augusto celebrating his goal for Bayer Leverkusen
A couple of months ago I wrote about Borussia Dortmund, and the way that they had been dominating the Bundesliga. While Dortmund still have a strong lead of nine points over Bayer Leverkusen, things aren't looking as solid as they were back when Jurgen Klopp's team had gone 15 games without losing.

Being a new league especially in a tougher competition surely will give some problem for any player, including Manchester City's January arrival, Edin Dzeko, who arrives from Wolfsburg this January rated as one of the most exciting talent in Europe football. So far, Dzeko's performances haven't really justified his 32 million Euro price tag as the Bosnian international has only managed two goals from eight appearances for the Eastlands.

PARIS, France — Lyon gave themselves the perfect morale boost for next Tuesday's Champions League home clash with Real Madrid on Friday as they eased to a 4-0 victory over Nancy. However, while goals from Yoann Gourcuff, Jeremy Pied, Miralem Pjanic and the outstanding Jimmy Briand saw them move into provisional second in the league [.

Coming into Manchester City with a pretty high price tag included the interest of many top European Clubs, Edin Dzeko, so far hasn't been able to display the talent that set him alive during his Bundesliga days with Wolfsburg.

Having only scored one clear goal with his new club, not to mention inconsistent performances until now, Dzeko has now being challenged by his club's manager, Roberto Mancini, to improve his capabilities this season.

Chicharito played in Mexico's 2-0 win over Bosnia this week and despite having a fairly average game, got his 12th goal for his country.

Hernandez won a penalty in the second half but Bosnian keeper Kenan Hasagic pushed it away. However, the ball bounced out then back over the line. It looked as though defender Miralem Pjanic deflected the ball into his own goal but Hernandez was credited with the goal.

The USA was not in action due to the ongoing unrest in Egypt, but a number of other CONCACAF countries played international matches tonight. Here are some of the results: Peru 1-0 Panama Venezuela 2-2 Costa Rica Greece 1-0 Canada Mexico 2-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina El Salvador 1-0 Haiti The highlight of the evening was Mexico's 2-0 victory over Bosnia in Atlanta.

Cuts. The new age of austerity. Money too tight to mention.
Aye, right.
Not in the English Premier League this January transfer window.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Aston Villa all spent big. And everyone of them threw cheques at attackers.
Money might have grotesquely disfigured football.

Manchester United's season marches on unbeaten despite not playing particularly well, five points ahead of Arsenal, nine ahead of Manchester City and ten in front of Chelsea. Wayne Rooney has come out to say Chelsea can push his team for the title with the signing of Fernando Torres, but has failed to mention either the Gunners or cross-town rivals City in his assessment of the title race.

Paul Kennedy of Soccer America recaps the January transfer window, which was highlighted by significant action and movement yesterday.
So much for English club owners becoming parsimonious. On the final day of the January transfer window, Chelsea spent $120 million to acquire Spaniard Fernando Torres and Brazilian defender David Luiz.
