Tevez looks certain to leave Old Trafford this summer having grown angry at United's failure to present him with a full-time contract Carlos Tevez
Looks almost certain to leave Old Trafford this summer having grown angry at United's failure to present him with a full-time contract having been at the club for two years on loan. Tevez has stated his desire to stay in England and has been linked with Liverpool and Manchester City. It has been reported that he wouldn't move to Liverpool out of respect for United's fans.

Liverpool will never buy David Villa. Firstly, Villa and Torres hate each other. Secondly, they make the same runs for the ball. Thirdly, and as a consequence, Torres only tends to score for Spain when Villa is not on the pitch. And finally, Villa himself has said that he would not move to a cold country.

As for Gareth Barry, I could see it happening, but only if Lucas leaves. The more likely destination for the Englishman would be Arsenal, who have required some stability in central midfield since the loss of Flamini. Downing and Bentley are both useless, and are destined for midtable mediocrity as far as I'm concerned
Where's Benzema ??

Signed, sealed and delivered to Man U..he will be the best buy this summer which is why Sir Alex hasn't been falling over to pay another 22 million for Tevez. Goal scoring midfielder, free kicks, can play upfront, strong, powerful, good in the air..Ronaldo Mark II.
As for Bentley, please...one trick pony who got caught up in his own publicity machine and a poor man's Beckham. Looks good in middle of the table teams but the minute he is surrounded by decent players, found out and will never amount to much.
I also cannot understand why Lampard is so highly rated - he gives away the ball constantly, can't pass and all he does is run and up down the pitch and scores deflected goals and penalties. If you were to come up with a list of world class midfielders, he would struggle to make top 15 ???

bobster818 you are clearly a clown. First of all Benzema is not a midfielder. Secondly and more importantly he is nowhere near Ronaldo's level. Those are the kind of comments that should be confined to 'kiddies talk'. Benzema is shining in the french league, Djibril Cisse and Florent Malouda once did the exact same.
Also, you must be useless footballer because you could never do what Lampard does. Ever. If you had a clue about football you would actually respect that Lampard has been producing for five years now. No one is saying Lampard is the best midfielder in the world, but he has to be respected. Give me that top 15 of yours. Clown.

Funny "Top" transfers. What happened to really top guys? The first tier players - Ibrahimovic, Eto, Dzeko, Misimovic, Vidic, Diego, Milito; where are they?
David Bentley

Bentley is a top player!
He proved that at Blackburn and they were not a mid table club, they were challenging for europe which was better than tottenham managed to do.
He can cross the ball briliantly and can score spectacular goals, Technically he is very good.
As for his move to tottenham and his form there, hr is unlucky to have such a talented player as Aaron Lennon as his rival for a place. Many of Tottenhams signings in the summer were bad to start with such as, Gomes, Modric, Corluka AND Bentley. But the difference is They've all now had a chance to settle into the team and are playing well now whereas Bentley has been moved to the sidelines and is expected to produce wonders from the bench.
He is similar to Beckham in a lot of ways and does not fit in well at tottenham due to them not having many strikers who can get onto his crosses, As i said before he is also very unlucky with Lennons form as he has been fantastic!
Bentley surely has a future in the premiership though and with the England team. He would fit in well at Everton with players such as Cahill, Fellaini, Yakubu, Saha, Jo and Anicibe able to get onto his crosses. This may be an optimistic move though as Everton may not be able to afford him.
Man City is a club that could afford him and with his former gaffer Mark Hughes at the helm it doesnt seem unlikely. Im not sure players like Bellamy and Robinho can get the best out of Bentley but if Hughes completes the signing of Santa Cruz in the summer its a different story. These two worked brilliantly at Blackburn and could do the same at Man City if Santa Cruz can stay fit.
There's no doubt about it, Brntley is cocky and thinks hes gods gift but he is a good player and while his career at tottenham is effectively over i believe he has a future elsewhere.
