Carlos Tevez joins Manchester United

The Carlos Tevez saga has finally come to an end and Tevez has begun training with his new Manchester United team-mates. He is all set to make his debut next week.

The Premier League ratified a deal which released Tevez from his West Ham contract.

"We are delighted," Ferguson told MUTV.

Tevez's debut will mark the start of a two-year loan period, which gives United the option to complete a permanent transfer at the end. The two-year loan deal is likely to cost United around £5million a year and a statement from Tevez's representative said: "Carlos is looking forward to being a Manchester United player and his ambition is close to being achieved.

The Hammers meanwhile said in a statement: "The settlement ends the current litigation taking place between the respective parties and provides for a £2million fee to be paid to West Ham.”
West Ham chairman Eggert Magnusson was relieved the affair has finally been concluded.

Alan Smith completes Newcastle move

Well as predicted by me, Smith completed his move to Newcastle United and is set to replace the midfield role played by Kieron Dyer (Who is in talks with West Ham).

Alan Smith said the time was right to embrace a new era at St James' Park after signing a five-year deal with Newcastle on Friday for an undisclosed fee - believed to be in the region of £6million.

Bolton sign Daniel Braaten

Bolton manager Sammy Lee has completed the signing of Norwegian international winger Daniel Braaten from Rosenborg for an undisclosed fee.

Lee has made a number of new signings since replacing Sam Allardyce towards the end of last season.

Former Aston Villa duo Jloyd Samuel and Gavin McCann have joined at the Reebok stadium. So to have Christian Wilhelmsson and Heidar Helguson.

Ironically - Bolton open their season with a home game against Allardyce's Newcastle.
