Guess what? Yep, there's a lot about Manchester City in today's papers. So let's start with Samuel Eto'o.

Mark Hughes has been tracking the Barcelona striker all summer but seems to be getting a little bored. The Daily Mirror claims that City have given him 24 hours to say yes or he will not become "the best-paid player in English football". It's also in The Sun.

Still with the Daily Mirror and City's pursuit of John Terry. Despite Chelsea insisting there is no chance of the England skipper heading north, this paper claims that City will not give up.

Another player who does not seem to be out of the transfer headlines at the moment is Cesc Fabragas. Tracked by both Real Madrid and Barcelona, the Arsenal midfielder is said to be at the centre of a bidding war between the two Spanish clubs. But will the Gunners sell? Read the Daily Mirror.

The Sun reports that Barcelona have made a new bid for Fabregas.

Still at the Emirates, and some interesting quotes from goalkeeper Manuel Almunia. It seems a bit odd that he would tell boss Arsene Wenger to work a bit harder... but that is the case in the Daily Mirror.

Almunia says: "We need the manager to work harder to get what we need, the club to make an extra effort to make us more competitive. We need more than youth."

Spurs are eager to recoup as much as possible from the amazing £18m fee they paid Charlton for Darren Bent a few years ago. Which means, according to the Daily Mirror, they are demanding £12m from Sunderland for his signature.

But Sunderland could be locked in a bidding war for Peter Crouch after Portsmouth apparently turned down their £11m bid. Pompey are hoping to start a bidding war between the Black Cats, Fulham and Blackburn, says the Daily Mail. We still hope AC Milan up their interest!

Tottenham have been tracking Joe Cole this summer but, according to the Daily Mail, he will snub that interest and sign a new four-year deal with Chelsea.

The Daily Mail confirms Thursday's news that Leeds United's Fabien Delph is wanted by Aston Villa.

Mix in Villa and Tottenham and you get John Carew. The Daily Express says that 'Arry wants the Norwegian for £5m.

Newcastle "boss" Alan Shearer is apparently going mental at the continuing impasse up in the north-east. Still, only four weeks to go until the start of the season! Read The Guardian.

Patrick Vieira to Birmingham City? Never! And his agent agrees too in The Sun.

Could Stoke be about to smash their transfer record? A Daily Mirror EXCLUSIVE claims they are rushing to push through a record £10million bid for Rennes midfield powerhouse Stephane M'Bia. Thing is, it's in The Sun too with a £6m price tag. Oh, and it's also in the Daily Mail.

We told you on Thursday that Roberto Mancini was being lined up to be the next manager of Portsmouth, now the Daily Mirror claims he will only accept the position if he gets a healthy transfer war chest.

And just along the south coast at Southampton there seems to be a bold attempt to lure back former boss Gordon Strachan, without a club since leaving Celtic. But will he drop down to League One? It's in The Sun.

Hull City seem to find a brick wall down every transfer avenue.... which means they look likely to waste a shed load of cash on "two goals in 32 games" Bobby Zamora, says The Sun.
