There Is Only One Sinnacle

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is set to make a shock bid to bring former Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse, now at Marseille, back to the Premier League. (Daily Mirror)

Makes sense, new signing Jo is off to play in the Olympics for Brazil and Benjani is an injury doubt. Mark Hughes is going to want depth at the striker position to ensure he gets City off to the best start possible.

However, others say Hughes will make a £15m move for Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz. (Various)

Blackburn should sell Santa Cruz. The is a nice return for a striker that cost 3 million last year. Last year Blackburn kept Benni McCarthy despite Chelsea snooping around, a year later Blackburn has to have some regret not cashing in on McCarthy. The same could easily apply 12 months from now with Santa Cruz.

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson is set to shatter his signing record with a £10.75m bid for Everton striker Andrew Johnson. (Various)

Andrew Johnson will be no better than Brian McBride. That is a lot of money for a very average striker.

Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan has offered £5m plus Charles N’Zogbia for Celtic winger Aiden McGeady. (The Sun)

For which Celtic will say no too. N’Zogbia attitude won’t fly with the Celtic faithful and McGeady has committed himself to Celtic.

Wigan boss Steve Bruce is to offer Fulham £3m to bring back old favourite Jimmy Bullard to the JJB Stadium. (Daily Mirror)

Fulham can’t lose Bullard. It could of been easy for Bullard to be resigned to his faith at Fulham, not only coming back from a horrible injury but kept fighting until the last game to keep Fulham up. Teams such as Fulham need players like Bullard.

Sunderland goalkeeper Marton Fulop is the subject of a £6m bid by Stoke City. (Daily Express)

I find it hard to believe that Marton Fulop could cost almost double what West Brom paid to sign Scott Carson.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has taunted new Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari by telling him he has no chance of matching Jose Mourinho’s efforts at the Stamford Bridge helm. (Daily Mirror)

I’m sure Mourinho has sent Ferguson a thank you card for that. Scolari needless to say has some big shoes to fill.
