Another week, another column and finally one of these transfer sagas has been resolved but that may not be the end of the drama at The Emirates. Will time also be called on Arsene Wenger before the season ends? Certainly Victor Chandler are taking a risk with their view that the Frenchman’s tenure is secure. [...]
So the white lines are painted in the stadiums are spick and span, ahead of 10 months of Premiership mayhem but before a ball is kicked, one obvious question is: just what can we do with that newly-promoted trio of Norwich, Swansea and QPR in their season’s openers tomorrow?

Tevez – He wants to go, City have set a figure of £50million and no one is willing to [...]
Things really are starting to heat up in the transfer market now and a lot of deals seem to be happening, finally. Liverpool have all but sealed a deal for Blackpool’s Charlie Adam, believed to be worth around £9million. Strangely opinion seems to be divided over Adam’s transfer, some think the Reds are paying over [...]
