Newcastle eye Zigic deal Valencia striker attracting attention Skysports.com understands Valencia striker Nikola Zigic would be interested in a move to Newcastle. Reports have linked Zigic with a possible summer switch to Tyneside in a swap deal, with Magpies full-back Jose Enrique going to Valencia. Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan is believed to be in the market for striking reinforcements, with doubts continuing to surround the future of Michael Owen and the news that both Obafemi Martins and Mark Viduka are set to miss the start of next season through injury. Zigic's future at Valencia looks uncertain with the giant striker failing to make an impact at La Mestalla last season. The Serbian international has been continually linked with a move to England and the player's agent, Milan Calasan, says the big target-man would welcome a move to St James' Park. "Yes Nikola would be interested in a move to Newcastle as he has always wanted to play in England," Calasan told skysports.com. "There are many clubs interested in Nikola including some from Italy, but we are waiting to see what Valencia want to do. "We do not know if Valencia want to keep him or sell him."

my bets are: germany = champions spain = runner-ups gomis = ts scweinsteiger = ts gomez = ts

What else can achieve at ManUre ? more trophies?

Hughes Signs City Deal Manchester City are set to unveil Mark Hughes as their new manager, after he agreed a three-year deal with the club last night… The Sun reports that Hughes met with City executive chairman Gary Cook in London for end-stage contract talks, which proved successful. The Citizens were forced to pay ₤5million compensation to Blackburn Rovers for Hughes and several of his staff, including assistant coach Mark Bowen. he Welshman will succeed Sven-Goran Eriksson at Eastlands, after the former England boss was officially given his marching orders and a ₤1million payout on Monday. The ex-Manchester United striker established himself as one of the most promising managers in England during his time at Blackburn, twice steering them to European qualification. City owner Thaksin Shinawatra will hope Hughes can repeat that record and then some, and will grant the former Chelsea man around ₤35million to work with in the transfer market. Such funds are a significant rise on the ₤11.5million-per-year he was allowed to spend on average at Ewood Park, and he earned a reputation for thrifty purchases, such as strikers Roque Santa Cruz (₤3.5million) and Benni McCarthy (₤2.5million). But failure to impart an immediate and sustained improvement on the Sky Blues could see Hughes go the same way as Eriksson, who was in charge for only a single season despite leading City to their best league finish in years.
