Tottenham to make cash bid for Man City attacker Bellamy


Tottenham are lining up a £4 million bid for Manchester City attacker Craig Bellamy.


The Daily Mail says in January 2009, City beat Spurs to sign Bellamy from West Ham for £14m, but they now need to sell players before the season starts to meet new 25-man Premier League squad rules.



"It is clear some of the players we have will have to be left off," said boss Roberto Mancini.

Manchester United 5-2 MLS All Stars: Five Star United Shows Class

Mark Hughes Accepts Offer To Manage Fulham

Former Manchester City manger Mark Hughes has agreed to replace Roy Hodgson at Fulham for the upcoming season, according to The Guardian.

Hughes, who was sacked as manager of City midway through last season, beat out a number of other candidates, including Ivory Coast boss Sven-Goran Eriksson and USA manager Bob Bradley, for the gig. Fulham had agreed to terms with Ajax manager Martin Jol last week but the deal fell through when the Dutch club refused to negotiate a release of Jol’s contract.
It’s a good move for Fulham in my opinion. Hughes is a competent manager who will be able to give the Cottagers a fighting chance of doing nearly as well as they did last season (Europa League, not included).

Given is one of the Best Keeper in EPL!
Will support him for this comeback but will be more fun if he will join MU :p

MC is crazy to grab more and more star players with spending much of the $$$ but bear in mind in Football history even Real Madrid had the 6 Super Stars previously but still unable to achieved any champions :)

Lindegaard’s current deal with the club runs until 2012, but he would not cost nearly as much as the following targets: Hugo LlorisIgor AKinfeev, and Sebastien Frey.

Torres stay or leave???

New Liverpool Manager Hodgson has had more positive news from Spain striker Fernando Torres, who has confirmed his intention to return to the club on Monday and to remain at Anfield.







Recent speculation suggested Torres was keen to play Champions League football this season and was considering his options.
Hodgson said that was not the message the club had received from the Spain striker.
"As far as I know he is looking forward to coming back here; he is back on Monday," said the Englishman.
"He is enjoying a holiday - a well-deserved break as he has not had one for three years.
"He is spending a lot of time with his family, keeping a low profile and as far as I know he is not really speaking to anyone.
"But he has told us that he is looking forward to Monday, looking forward to getting back to work and looking forward to playing for Liverpool next season.
"That is what I know so other reports, I would suggest, are erroneous."

Short comment: 
If i'm Torres, definitely will leave Liverpool but i'm not.....
He stays might get nothing included playing in Champions League.

MU's Hernandez is ready for new challenge

Javier Hernandez is relishing the challenge of trying to break into Manchester United's first team.

The Mexico striker, signed from Chivas Guadalajara, knows United already have plenty of firepower with the likes of Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen to call upon, as well as young prospects like Danny Welbeck, Federico Macheda and Mame Biram Diouf.

Yeah!!! MU is aims to get back EPL champion by the assists from this super potential striker as well as to break the "Ronney-On-Demand"!!!
Hernandez has been showed his "power" in World Cup 2010 as that is a good start for EPL new season.

Campbell had courted interest from Newcastle's North-East rivals Sunderland as well as Celtic, but the Magpies emerged as the front-runners to secure his services and he completed a medical on Tyneside on Tuesday evening

Maybe is the time for Campbell to stop his footballer career but when think about the source of his $$$, he will still continues......

Hopefully he will still performs well in Newcastle.
