Carlos Tevez is going to join Chelsea for about 20M in the summer. Jose loves his passion, skill and power and realises that Tevez has all the key atributes needed to be one of the finest players of his generation and has made him his number1 summer target.
I have heard from a very reliable source that Liverpool will be signing Carlos Tevez (12mill) and Sammy etto (25mill) . this will result in Craig Bellamy being sold (8-10mill) . the most probable destination being Aston Villa or Man City if they do not choose to buy Cisse. with having 4 top strikers in etto, Tevez, Crouch and Kuyt Fowler will be offered a deal for a coaching role to help nurture the young strikers coming through the ranks.
When will you people stop Reading teletext and the tabloid papers to find out rumours then post them on here saying your milkmans, cousins, next door neighbours friend works here there and everywhere and has told you?
Chimbonda, Lennon and Berbatov have all been at Tottenham 1 season or recently signed a new contract so they will NOT be leaving.
Defoe is the major outgoing player at Tottenham this year with possible suiters being A. Villa or Everton. Expect fringe players to leave like Stalteri, Ziegler, Gardner, Murphy, Tainio and Ben Alnwick to be loaned out to gain 1st team experience.
In's will be, Kallon, Gamst Pederson, K. Dyer, M. Silvestre and 3 cheeky bids for D. Bent, A. Robben and W. Bridge.

FACT, Thats because my computer says so lol.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Dimitar Berbatov will reject the advances of Chelsea, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Inter Milan by staying at White Hart Lane for at least one more season. It was thought that Jose Mourinho was ready to table a £24m offer for the Bulgarian hitman, but I hear that Martin Jol has convinced him to stay on at Spurs for next campaign at least to spearhead their attack on the top four. Robbie Keane is his preferred strike partner, so Mido and Jermain Defoe are likely to move on in the close season. Out of favour Everton striker James Beattie will join Tottenham in a £3m deal, with Mido expected to move to Goodison Park as a makeweight.
Milan seem to have cooled on Ronaldinho after talks between them and his brother agent assis seem to be stalling and his preferred option seems to be to stay at Barca. they are now interested in his Barcelona teammate Samuel Eto'o for around £28m.
Inter's interest in Messi seems to have come to nothing as he says he is flattered by their interest but says he wants to stay at Barca for years to come. Inter's main target is Deco but only if Barca lower their asking price. Inter prepared to pay £15-20m.
Juventus preparing to make bids to take Emerson (£5m) and Appiah (£6m) back to the club and are interested in Saviola, Huntelaar, Toni and Klose.
I was hearing rumours that Pompey might loan Andy Griffin out to Stoke City next season. It will be a loan switch with Ricardo Fuller with Harry giving Fuller another chance.
Fulham are set to to bid for Freddie Eastwood in the summer for a fee of about £2.5 million, regardless of whether they are in the Premiership (more than likely) or Championship.

Major shuffles at West Ham this summer. West Ham will be letting Tevez go due to ownership problems. The Chairman wants to keep him but Man United are VERY interested and Tevez's management company favour a Man United deal, Fergies had him watched 4 times. Curbs will be letting go the following players Konchesky £1m, Reo Coker £6m, Ferdinand £5m, Carroll Free, Quashie £1m and Etherington £2m. Ashton is staying as he feels he owes West Ham a year as is Upson. These are factual.
Leeds striker David Healy will complete a £2 million move to either Sheffield United or Fulham in the first week of the transfer window. Roy Keane is also interested

Sir Alex Ferguson's 3 summer targets are Gareth Bale, Owen Hargreaves and Jermain Defoe. Tottenham have made it clear that they have no intention of selling Berbatov and this will force Ferguson to go for Defoe, although he is also interested in Benni McCarthy of Blackburn.

Villa boss Martin O'Neill is currently eyeing up a number of summer moves, on his list are Joey Barton, Darren Bent, Luke Young, and Craig Bellamy or Jermain Defoe. Boruc will not be coming to Villa, Craig Gordon will in fact be joining from Hearts in a £4million deal. Also expect moves for Wesley Sneijder and Klass-jan-Huntelaar from Ajax. Also, it appears that Marlon Harewood and Bobby Zamora will be joining the less successful club in the City, Birmingham, for fees of around £3 million each.

EVERTON RUMOURS
I have it on good merit that Nugent and Barton will be revealed the day after the season ends.
Another loan deal will be tied up for Fernandes. The bosmans Moyes is interested in are Flamini and Distin. Moyes is also very interested in Aiden McGeady despite him signing a new contract a few months ago.
Ferguson has identified 3 major signings this summer, his list is:
DR: Micah Richards or Daniel Alves
MC: Hargreaves, Gattuso, De Rossi
FC: Torres, Villa, Huntelaar
One from each position. Ferguson is set to lose:
Heinze, O' Shea and Saha
Rossi may be going on loan to Italy for one more year, whilst Dong will be going on loan to a championship team, unless the likes of Sunderland can offer him first team football in the premierleague. Pique is to return to the squad.
Ferguson has also told David Gill and the board that he is interested in other players, if possible, which include:
Nani, Motinho, Bale, Garay, and Diego
SQUAD FOR NEXT SEASON:
GK: Van der Sar, Foster, Kuzack
DR: Neville, Richards
DL: Evra, Silvestre, Bale (sent on loan)
DC: Ferdinand, Vidic, Brown, Pique
MR: Ronaldo, Park
ML: Giggs, Nani
MC: Carrick, Scholes, Hargreaves, Motinho, Fletcher,
FC: Rooney, Torres, Smith, Solskear
That is the minimum the squad will be
Steve Bruce will send Dudley Campbell out on loan with Cardiff City keen to sign the striker.
=v1=
Manchester United will be looking to sign a balance of big name players and young tallent during this summers transfer window. SAF has already drawn up a list of names for who he is interested in. The Glaziers have given him a strong transfer budget to ensure that they can try to retain the title next season. SAF has had his eye on certian young tallents for quite some time and will be looking to sign them up this summer: Nani and Mountinho will sign for a total of 20mil, Adu 5mil, anderson of Porto 6mil, Bale 6mil will all be signing. 2 or 3 big signings will also be made including berbatov 16mil, Tevez 10mil, de Rossi 10mil. OUTS Fletcher 4mil o shea 5mil Saha 10mli Richerdson 6mil hienze 8mil and Silvestre 4mil. TOTAL SPENDINGS 75MIL TOTAL SALES 37MIL. TOTAL 38MIL.
To the Spurs fan who said they will sign Mikel Arteta for 7 million- you couldn't buy Artetas right nut for 7 mill. as he along with berbatov and Tevez is top3 player outside the big 4. could we get berbatov or Tevez for 7 mill. NO. he is not leaving.
Evertons major signings as usual will be done by the middle of June. expect David Nugent&Leighton Baines to join. Moyes is looking to pad up the squad for Europe so also expect a few bosmans and a couple of season long loans. Manny Fernandes could re sign for another year although it looks unlikely at the min. Carsley and Stubbs will stay. Beattie, wright, pistone, Naysmith and shandy Andy van der Meyde will leave. expect 6 new arrivals by pre season. oh yeah heard from a red she that Alonso is definitely leaving. he's off to Barca. why else would they sign Mascherano
Liverpool will sign Tevez and Simao 100%
and maybe: Henry, Huntelaar, klose, eto'o, villa, owen, tores.
g. Barnes, KAKA, Alves. M. Richards, bale, Ben Haim, distin, Baines, Ayala. expect som of these players join Liverpool
For all those Celtic fans, please note Scott Brown is a done deal for him to come to Rangers deal was done in January Hibs have only got him on loan. also Gravenson is going no where he wants a £4 million payoff to leave Celtic and no one is going to pay that plus a transfer fee, biggets factor will be nodody else is offering him anything near what Celtic are paying about £42, 000 per week. so please lets move on with this Scott Brown thing now Celtic fans.
MON was at the Madrid v Seville game. He went to see Fabiano but Luis was on the bench and was sent off from the bench, apparently MON has got the message from Villa fans that Luis Fabiano is the man to replace JPA.
Thomas Graveson will definitely sign for either Birmigham or Sunderland.
The 2 clubs will also compete with Everton for the £6.5 million signing of David Nugent.
