  • Hotly pursued strikers Emmanuel Adebayor of Arsenal and Didier Drogba of Chelsea still remain with their teams - but for how long?
  • Amid not so quiet whispers that South Africa may not be ready to host the World Cup by 2010, ManYoo's manager Alex Ferguson gives his vote of confidence.
  • Unwanted Barca striker Samuel Eto'o may be on his way to Barca's La Liga rivals Real Madrid ...but only if they're willing to cough up the dough.
  • Chelsea continues its pursuit of Brazil/Real Madrid frontman Robinho.
  • Liverpool closes in on signing Tottenham's Robbie Keane for a reported figure of £18million.
  • MLS proves it has arrived by showing that it's very best can barely hang on to beat a middle of the road Premier League team in their preseason warmup. This would be like the European all-stars beating the Denver Nuggets during the Nuggets preseason, while the Nuggets play a bunch of NBDL and marginal NBA players for most of the game. Congratulations MLS, you have arrived!
