Fabio Cannavaro, Carlos Tevez, Michael Ballack, Michael Owen, Mark Van Bommel, Fred... these are
but a few of the players whose contract is set to expire at the end of the season. And with the
january transfer window practically at our doorstep, it is time to give these "old
timers" a chance they are still [.

Tuesday saw Diego Maradona name his second Argentina squad, in preparation for the friendly against
France in Marseilles on the 11th of February. For the first time Lionel Messi was called up by
El Diego - as was my mate Carlos Tevez - who, clearly motivated by my words of encouragement
on Saturday night, scored for Manchester [.
Argentine could leave Old Trafford this transfer window Hot off the press: I'm just back from
Manchester Airport and who should come pacing past me while I was waiting in Terminal One but
Little Carlos Tevez. Today's papers were already full of reports that Manchester United were both
unwilling to meet Tevez's pay demands and unprepared [.

First things first, the last few weeks have been very hectic in my "real life" because
I've fallen behind in my research, and as a doctoral student, my adviser is not happy with me,
which is why I've had to take a vacation from the soccer blogosphere. So you can imagine my
disappointment that despite missing two games and nearly two weeks into the January transfer
window, nothing remotely interesting has happened at Lyon.
Wayne Rooney has been ruled out for three weeks after the striker suffered a hamstring injury
during Manchester United's 1-0 win over a tough Wigan side.
"So easy a caveman could do it," could well be Carlos Tevez's new motto after seeing
Rooney rifle in just six Premier League goals this season.
It's a laugh picturing the Chelsea team stood on Peter Street shivering at 7am following a
fire evacuation. Silly ol Diego Maradona lighting up a cigar in his room after what I can only
imagine was a big night on the town! I wonder if it was outside the Radisson that Jose Mourinho and
Maradon got talking.
Some Manchester United news for those of you who are a) United fans b) fantasy footie managers with
United ownership or c) former Wall Street employees without jobs due to the economic meltdown.
- The American insurance firm AIG has decided to end its sponsorship deal with Manchester
United.
Well the rumblings of yesterday have come to fruition today, on two counts. The first happening in
South America, the other happening at the Riverside. I can understand Carlos Tevez wanting his
future sorted. But the situation with Manchester United seems to get crazier by the day. After
firing back at Ferguson's claims of rejecting a [.
It's been a quiet-ish week for the main Argentine contingent in Europe, but there have been one or
two scorers. In Mexico, meanwhile, the new year's championship is already underway, and there were
five goals from Argentines as well as a couple of other decent contributions there. Step this
way... In Italy, Serie A leaders Internazionale [.
Back in November Premiership Talk announced that Manchester United had signed Partizan Belgrade
winger Zoran Tosic. The news never caught the major media as the terms were unclear. Today,
Manchester United officially unveiled the signing of Zoran Tosic for an undisclosed fee. In
addition, United have wrapped up a deal for Tosic's club and national teammate Adem Ljajic.
If there is one story that I want to just be over and never have to hear about again, the Carlos
Tevez saga with West Ham United and Sheffield United would be that story. When I first read that
the FA and the Premier League were going to reopen the case against West Ham and [...]

Points to Ponder
Rio Ferdinand may be 1) dead or 2) suffering from hypothermia. Our defensive stalwart remains
sidelined with injury and, after taking in his brother's performance at a frozen Stadium of Light,
may indeed have frozen to death.
So Andrei Arshavin is starting to make loud noises about his future, and it doesn't look like
playing in Russia is a part of it. He's telling Zenit St. Petersburg that if he has to, he'll
buy out his contract (this is the only link that is currently available, the Telegraph also
reported the same [.
The Tevez 'saga' rumbles on... "I think we've made it very clear until now that we've always
said he's a Man United player and if anybody wants to buy Carlos or talk about Carlos they must
talk to United," said Joorabchian. "We're not in the process of people trying to contact
us etc etc. We've never [.
While Tottenham avoided blushes last night at White Hart Lane, Manchester United couldn't do the
same. As the Red Devils squared off against Derby in the Carling Cup semi-finals, all eyes were
expecting a convincing win - for United. Instead, Derby scored one fantastic goal, and Rob Hulse
could've added another to make it 2-0 instead of 1-0.
Carlos Tevez let off steam in Argentina during the week, leading to speculation that his time at
United would be over at the end of the season when his loan deal expired. Sir Alex Ferguson has got
wind of Tevez's comments but has insisted that the situation is a private one. "I have no
thoughts on what Carlos [.
This will be a very quick roundup, because January always makes me a little lazy with the amount of
stuff I want to write, due to the lack of meaningful domestic league action. Still, there were some
performances from our boys abroad in the last week, and one perhaps notable absence. That absence
was Carlos Tevez, [.
Si no era suficiente recomendarle públicamente al "Kun" Agüero dejar al
Atlético de Madrid y sumarse al Inter de Milán, el director técnico de la
selección argentina, Diego Armando Maradona, repitió la dósis, pero ahora con el
delantero del Manchester United, Carlos Tevez.
El "Apache" no ha tenido mucha actividad desde la llegada del búlgaro Dimitar
Berbatov al club inglés, aunque ahora podría tener más minutos de juego, debido a la
baja del también delantero Wayne Rooney.
It has been reported in the headlines of many papers around the globe that Carlos Tevez is ready
to quit Manchester United. Such a statement shouldn't be all that surprising, given the moderate
playing time Tevez has seen in recent matches and the constant state of upheaval regarding his new
contract.

Points To Ponder Prior to Semi-Formulaic Derby Beating
With a looming Blue giant waiting at the weekend, Fergie will look to play a weakened squad in the
first leg on Wednesday.
After plenty of speculation, it's finally happened. Just hours after AC Milan said that Kaka wasn't
for sale, the newswires went crazy over the fact Manchester City has indeed opened talks to
purchase the star player, and the figures are simply staggering. The 100 million euro purchase
price, yes it's there.
Okay, so from here on out we're going to post on English football at least once a day. Bear with us
and we try to get up and running with this...
Fist up today comes the first big signings of the January transfer market - two Serbian prodigies,
which reflect Sir Alex Ferguson's continuing attempts to emulate Arsene Wenger by snapping up the
best young talent from around the world.

Why is that seemingly ever transfer we're involved in has to contain the words 'saga'? We take
forever to get our business done these days! The Carlos Tevez 'saga' has been rumbling on for some
time now. Whilst in the summer the club acknowledged that the deal would be resolved in
"October, November or December", according [.
Carlos Tevez returned to Argentina during the week off he had been granted by the club, set for a
return to play in the first leg of our semi-final against Derby on Wednesday. Last night, reports
emerged showing Tevez to be incredibly frustrated with Sir Alex Ferguson and his contract status.
He went as far as [.
So then, what are we to believe regarding the future of Carlos Tevez? One minute he says he wants
to stay at United, the next day he is quoted in the media saying he's open to the idea of moving to
Real Madrid. Incidentally, I don't have a problem with players' being honest about wanting to join
a club like Real Madrid, if indeed those quotes are accurate, because at least Tevez is being
honest, unlike a former United hero who worked his ticket out of Old Trafford and then tried to
blame it all on United.
Working here on the assumption that to most readers these will be the most familiar goals, I'll bow
to your prior comprehension and suggest that if you've already seen and made your own judgments of
these, you might want to skip over this section. Compilations There are many of these indeed.
Here are some I found useful [.
Thirty Million Pounds sounds like a lot to spend on a striker that is not scoring a ton of goals.
But that is not the case with the Dimitar Berbatov. At the end of the summer window The Bebra made
the move from Spurs to United and it has been seen with mix results, not a ton of goals but a ton
of impact.
"VIDEO: All The Goals From United vs Derby" was originally published at The Republik of
Mancunia.
It was a relatively quiet weekend for Argentina's representatives in the exterior in the week prior
to the announcement of Diego Maradona's squad for the friendly with France (which is announced on
Tuesday and will include Seba Verón and Juan Román Riquelme), with some of the main
stories being transfer rumours.
