A very good morning to you all. Enjoy the Sunday while you can.
Let’s get down to today’s (and some of yesterday’s) stories quickly.

Update 3: The Beeb’s got this report. According to that Kia Joorabchian’s lawyers say, the deal has progressed with the “knowledge and permission” of West Ham United. Wonder what will happen now. Expect the deal to take a while.
Update 2: Eggert Magnussen has now opened his mouth. Wants Tevez to spend his next three years with the Hammers. Pah!
Update: Sky Sports seem to have confirmed it. It’s a two year loan!
We were talking about not believing the Tevez rumours until they came from the horse’s mouth. Now we think that the horse has indeed spoken (or umm… neighed?).
Anyway, we found this link [via UnitedRant forums] which has the headline saying Reds Announce Tevez Capture, but no content.

More reports are pouring in. They are all over the place. And now, it’s the BBC’s turn..
BBC’s Radio Five Live Sport thinks a deal could be done by the weekend. Nice. Really, nice. For those living under a rock (or sleeping, or plain stoned), for the past few hours, please read this.

Reports are just coming in and looks like Manchester United have signed Carlos Tevez.
The Times carries this report.
Happiness, overflows as I write this, but how certain are we about this deal? Read on.

Michael Carrick wasn’t quite the goal scorer at Tottenham, although we now know he is capable of scoring a scorcher or two, don’t we?
Owen Hargreaves wasn’t particularly prolific at Bayern. In fact, his goal return was pathetic. But he wasn’t meant to score goals anyway, was he? But he has scored some, more than decent, goals. And my, my… some of them are actually pretty well taken efforts.
I would be really happy if he gets even a couple of those next season. Video after the jump.

Quite a few things to report today. Of course, we’ll spare the Scousers this time! Apparently they don’t take criticism too lightly. I know, certain things can really hurt. So let’s move on to worthwhile things.

The answer is very simple really.
Manutd.com carries a report where Heinze says that he would deliberate about a move to another club. But the club needs to really, really convince him that the move would be right for him.

The Telegraph has an article that talks about dissent and on-pitch cussing by players in general. I thought it was well written, and worth a read.
He raises valid points about how players like Wayne Rooney, who are role models for upcoming English youth, and their blatant swearing at referees is a shame for the game. While, in recent times, Rooney has curbed his temper that has been his undoing in the past, he has been guilty of letting fly some words that naturally come off his tongue, which may not necessarily be palatable for viewers of all ages.

It’s been quiet with nothing much to report about. Apart from some stray gossip about players who might leave the club. So we will keep this pretty short and leave you for the day.
Oh, yes. You could use your spare time to check out the forum instead. Anyway, here are some of the interesting links that you might want to follow.

Our partner site has just launched a forum for people like you and me to continue ranting into the wee hours of the day. Of course Man United fans can start ranting over at the Manchester United thread. But you might surely like to talk about general football too.
Like, for example, flaming clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool. Or spelling Torres’ doom at Anfield. And things like that. You get my point.
Or you could go on about why Sepp Blatter needs to step down, or tell us about the latest 12 year old sensation from Peru whose dribbling is a cross between Pele and a manatee. Or something to that effect.
Now, now. I’ve given you enough ideas. Head over to the rather excellent forum, and be creative.
