"We have shown we mean business by backing Iain Dowie in the transfer market," the Charlton chairman said. Richard Murray, the Charlton chairman, insists that breaking into next season's projected budget to fund the manager Iain Dowie's £12m summer spending was "a risk worth taking". It has been all change down at The Valley following the departure of the long-serving manager Alan Curbishley in May. No fewer than 10 deals in one shape or form were completed before the transfer window closed last week, including £3.7m spent on the Senegal defender Souleymane Diawara, £2m each for Amady Faye and Djimi Traor?£3m on Andy Reid and £1m to bring the teenager Simon Walton from Leeds, who has since been loaned to Ipswich. Charlton have also increased their wage bill. The 33-year-old summer signing from Paris St Germain missed Rangers' last match at Kilmarnock with a muscle injury, but has been given the all-clear and now hopes to dislodge the young goalkeeper Allan McGregor.. We watched him quite a bit at Bayer Leverkusen and he's a really good player."And I think Wigan will get a bit of joy out of Emile Heskey this season. I don't think he has ever quite realised his potential at Liverpool or Birmingham, but it may be different at a smaller club like Wigan, if he could recover the form he showed at Leicester where he was the main player," Ferguson said.* The Rangers goalkeeper Lionel Letizi expects to return from a calf injury for the Scottish Premier League game against Falkirk on Saturday.

I reckon he'll score upwards of 15 for Everton this season and will prove to be a really good signing."Berbatov may prove to be a good signing for Tottenham. "He's quick and always on the move and he'll get them a few penalties this season. "I want to win the Champions' League and many more trophies," he said. "I won four trophies at United, but I want more and Madrid have given me a new challenge."Ferguson, meanwhile, believes that Everton's move for the England striker Andy Johnson could prove the signing of the summer.The United manager considers the £8.6m move by Everton for the former Crystal Palace player to be good business.

He also warned that his side would have to be wary of the threat of Dimitar Berbatov if the Tottenham striker is fit for the match at Old Trafford on Saturday."Andy Johnson will definitely help Everton," Sir Alex said. But he believes that he can realise his ambition with the Spanish side. The atmosphere at training is perfect and it's just wonderful to be here. You only get one opportunity in life to come to Real Madrid and I will retire here."Despite scoring 150 goals in five years at United, the Dutchman failed to win the Champions' League at Old Trafford.
