Looks like Man City and Arsenal are back in talks about the Aaron Ramsey saga, as they re-enter negotiations after City apparently upped their offer substantially, has Plymouth's tardiness in confirming an already agreed deal seen them miss out ? How will this effect the future of Carlos Tevez ? lots of questions but they wont be answered until next week now.

Hi Paul, I thought Plymouth confirmed this deal with a statement first thing this week....?

Breaking News. Plymouth manager Ben Wilson has confirmed that Mesut Ozil will leave the club after internal talks about a change in tactics at the club. Mesut, who has been a stalwart for the club over the last two seasons, is to be replaced at Aaron Ramsay.

Yes you are right, don't know how I missed that. That's a confirmed deal and I will put it through now, my mistake. Apologies to Geoff but these things happen when I've got so much to do that includes last minute transfer deals

Fix, who put the fix in ?

Seriously my fault for not sealing this deal sooner wouldhavebeena good one.

Time for a quick roundup...

Premiership

Man City 53 +47
Plymouth 51 +32
Charlton 44 +18
Birmingham 41 +25
Watford 41 +24

Fulham are safe from relegation so well done to Phil cos that wasn't the case when he took over, but Blackburn are down after what has been for them a torrid season, hopefully things will get better next season.

Championship

Newcastle 50 +23 promoted
Arsenal 46 +22 promoted
Leicester 41 +11

Southampton crash to the foot of the table, two points from safety, and look like going straight back down, whilst Wolves are 3 points off the playoff places but just 1 point above relegation, so all still to play for at both these clubs.

League One

Villa 42 +12 promoted
Forest 40 +9 promoted
Stoke 33 +4

Wednesday have snuck out of the last three but Wimbledon slide in and both sides need 3 points next week to help towards safety.

Brasileiro

Flamengo 58 +62 Champions elect
Santos 55 +51
Sao Paulo 44 +18
Gremio 40 +12

Flamengo are Champs in all but a slim mathematical sense

Eircom

Bohemians 47 +15
Shamrock 45 +22
Cherry 38 +12
UCD 33 +7

Le Championnat

Nantes 53 +37 Champions
Monaco 46 +21
Lyon 45 +28
Paris 44 +10
Etienne 43 +21

another great title triumph for Nantes

Bundesliga

Schalke 56 +37
Berlin 47 +18
Bayern 42 +13

The Champions beaten back into third place by an improving Berlin side, an unbeaten home record is something to be very proud of, maybe next year they can go back to challenging for the title as they were doing five or six seasons previously. Dortmund and Gladbach still need to improve.

Eredivisie

Ajax 53 +29 Champions
PSV 41 +17
Feyenoord 39 +13

Another unbeaten season for Ajax so far, just one game left to extend an incredible record stretching back over multiple seasons.

Seria A

Inter 56 +57 Champions
Milan 47 +20
Ancona 43 +27
Napoli 42 +23
Juventus 39 +12

Clubs still got some way to go in order to catch Inter's strength, especially in defence, conceded only 6 goals in the league all season, an average of 3 goals a game scored and 11 wins at home, amazing.

Scotland

St Johnstone 43 +18 Champions
Celtic 39 +12
Rangers 36 +13
Inverness 33 +9

La Liga

Barcelona 56 +55 Champions
Real Madrid 52 +34
Valencia 44 +21

another sublime season in the league for repeat Champions Barcelona, 62 goals scored and just the one defeat and only 7 conceded, Real came close in a season where Iain made some fantastic signings but just didn't score enough goals to keep pace with the Champions in the final analysis. Sevilla saved themselves from relegation with a spirited run but drew 10 games and only scored 11 goals, as for third placed Valencia, they do look capable but always seem to fall short and it was the same story again this season, they will be hoping for more consistency next year.

MLS

Cosmos 50 +32 Champions
Galaxy 37 +5
Chicago 34 +2

My Chicago side had a decent opening campaign, their Samba tactics doing well against a proliferate Winghalf division but they still have much improving to do if they are to ever challenge New York Cosmos.

Well that's about it for this week, I'll do the printing and send out the email turns in the morning. Thanks for another great week guys, it's always very enjoyable.

Decent week all round, fantastic result to put 8 past Blackburn, good to see Danny score on his last appearance and looking forward to what Jovetic can add up front.

Schalke have sorted through the offers for Schweinsteiger and decided to accept Fulham's offer of Anderson Luis plus cash for their ageing midfielder. In a statement the club chairman said that Anderson would fit in very nicely with the other Brazilians already at the club and then wished Seb all the best in London. So a big signing for Fulham as they got the drop on the two top teams in the Premiership, Plymouth and Man City, amongst others.

This was the only permanent bid deal that was accepted this week.

What a great signing for Fulham, delighted to have got him. Glad to have retained premier league status. It does bring a end to Suarez's time at Fulham.... Planning for Next season is under way.

Email turns all sent out.

Printing is all finished and I'll post it tomorrow morning.

Paul, not sure whats happened here, but last turn I sent Morgan Sanson 4443 on loan to Alloa.  This turn he has disappeared from my squad list and is on the transferred players list going to Flamengo as a New from Alloa for 4m?

Assume it is just a bug where it failed to recognise the player was on loan?

I have had this as well, a few turns back Andreas Pereira went to Watford for 6 million despite him not even being loan listed, i highlighted it at the time and just checked and he's still not at Gremio. This turn Tyler Blackett has gone to West Brom for £-4 when it should i assume have been a loan?
