According to the Times, and a few of the red tops, ManU are closing in on Carlos Tevez. If that's the case, it looks like Fergie has not only bought well this summer but been backed to do so by the Glazers. He appears to be addressing ManU's weaknesses, like a lack of steal in the midfield with Hargreaves, while continuing their policy of buying young-ish players. He seems to have recognised he can't scour the world, Wenger-like, uncovering tons of unproven but very talented teenagers who cost £1 million. But instead, by paying a bit more, he can buy 18-22 year old players with far more proven quality like Rooney and Ronaldo, and now Anderson and Dani. Tevez would seemingly tick all the boxes: he's a proven talent, he's young, and ManU need a goal scorer.

Chelsea also seem to be stirring. According to Sky they've made a move for Brazilian starlet Pato, and the Guardian says they're closer to snapping up Lyon's Malouda, which might mean bye bye Robben.
