This week has seen some large amounts of money being transferred from one club to another with some impressive players moving clubs in the summer transfer window, including the highest fee ever paid for a player in England.
The most exciting news of the week is the move for Carlos Tevez, who has now signed for Manchester United after a successful one year long loan spell. The transfer cost the current Premier League champions thirty two million pounds to complete, which is the highest an English club have ever paid for a single player.
Other transfer talks have included Champions League semi finalists Liverpool signing Irish striker Robbie Keane. Liverpool paid just over twenty million pounds for the former Spurs attacker, but the twenty eight year old has still received criticism from Tottenham Hotspur fans, who say that he is unfaithful for leaving the club, but Keane hit back at the critics by saying that playing for Liverpool has always been a dream of his, and that it was a once in a life time opportunity, and that he always played his best at Spurs.
In other news, David Bentley has once again been in the attention of the media with a proposed move to Tottenham Hotspur in a deal which could be worth around seventeen million pounds. The English winger has made his wish to leave Blackburn Rovers public, and there has already been interest from Aston Villa, although that deal fell through. Joey Barton has been told by Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan this week that he still has a future at Newcastle United, despite just finishing a six month prison sentence for a brutal assault. It has also been a good week for Sunderland who signed El-Hadji Diouf in a ten million pounds deal. The Senegalese striker has always come under criticism for some previous incidents, including spitting at oppositions, but Roy Keane said that Diouf was still more than welcome at the club.
