Manchester City ready for transfer-window closing sale:

Sven-Goran Eriksson has warned his fringe players to leave the club now or face being left out in the cold for the rest of the season.

Darius Vassell, Georgios Samaras and Bernardo Corradi are the three most likely to leave. Eriksson also wants to find new clubs for Danny Mills and Paul Dickov.

The former England manager added: "I have spoken to some of the players here who still have contracts but are not in the team." You have to be fair and tell them that they will not play much football if they stay here. It is professional and correct to tell them now rather than at Christmas time."

Eriksson, who has already spent around £40million, has been linked with Brazilian Inter Milan striker Adriano and Portugal international Nuno Gomes.

Curbishley read to spend as Dyer joins the injured list:

West Ham manager Alan Curbishley admits he might have to make some emergency purchases before the transfer window closes on Friday following Kieron Dyer's broken leg at Bristol Rovers.

Curbishley has already seen Freddie Ljungberg, Scott Parker and Julien Faubert sidelined - and lost Dyer against Bristol Rovers in a Carling Cup game.

He said: "At the moment I feel the luck is against us. I am sitting there with £20million worth of players out injured. It's disappointing but we have just got to get on with it and that's what the squad is for.”

It seems unlikely that West Ham will be able to land Adriano from Inter Milan. The club confirmed talks with Inter Milan about a loan deal but Adriano is reported only to be interested in a permanent move.
