Fulham fail with Lafferty bid : August 07 2007Burnley manager Steve Cotterill has confirmed he has turned down an undisclosed offer from Fulham for striker Kyle Lafferty.
Lafferty played under Cottagers boss Lawrie Sanchez during his time as Northern Ireland manager but the 19-year-old is under contract at Turf Moor until 2010.
Cotterill said: "We don't want to sell Kyle come what may, but there would obviously come a time if it ever got to a certain figure, that the club would have to look at it.
"Having said that we don't want to sell him and we turned down Fulham's offer and we are not anticipating another one."
United hold out Tevez hope : August 07 2007Carlos Tevez's move to Old Trafford will not be signed off by the Premier League on Tuesday but Manchester United are hopeful the deal will be confirmed by the kick-off of the new season the weekend.
The Argentina striker is set to sign a two-year loan-type agreement, but the contract has to be deemed acceptable by the Premier League.
It is understood the league's lawyers will not be able to sign it off yet and there are some concerns that the delay could stretch on beyond the weekend because a similar deal involving Javier Mascherano to Liverpool took a number of weeks to be cleared.
The Tevez deal though is so similar to Mascherano's that the Premier League champions are confident it can go through before the weekend.
Lee commits to Tractor Boys : August 07 2007Ipswich striker Alan Lee has confirmed he has now signed a new contract with the Tractor Boys.
The 28-year-old has penned a new two-year deal, having been chased by fellow Championship side Hull for most of the summer.
"I am obviously glad to get things sorted but it was never in my mind to move on," he told the club's official website.
"There was a lot of speculation around and family and friends were asking me what was going on, but I took it as a positive club were interested in me.
"I did not let it affect me and now things have been confirmed I can look to the future here and I can only see it being a bright future.
"We have some very good players and I want to play my part helping Ipswich get back to the Premiership," he added.
