Nothing official from the clubs, just big media outlets reporting that the deal is already done: Neymar will become a Barcelona player at the end of this season, despite all the denials from Santos, with a secret deal already in place to finally bring the biggest Brazilian talent to Europe. More
One man in a club always surrounded by rumors and speculation gets to be involved in them more than anyone else, especially this season. Recent troubles have actually made Cristiano Ronaldo available for transfer, or at least that’s what some would want us to believe, with Manchester United his preferred destination after the Real Madrid chapter is over.

One team hears a no, another club hears a yes. After Arsenal have already been told to move away from trying to approach David Villa of Barcelona, Chelsea aren’t discouraged by a simple no, thinking that they have the right kind of money and Spanish appeal to bring the striker in January. More
Arsenal are desperately looking, hoping to sign a striker to help them become a bit more formidable and consistent offensively this season, but as of now aren’t really close to any big name. David Villa of Barcelona, who hasn’t been getting too many chances off the bench lately, isn’t going to join them as well. More
It’s Christmas, and it means the leagues in Europe are more or less at their halfway line, which includes the race for the top scorer as well as the title. Michu is slightly ahead of the rest in England, Lionel Messi is miles ahead of the competition in Spain, Stephan El Shaarawy is having his breakout season, Stefan Kießling scores and flies under the radar while Zlatan Ibrahimovic is doing what’s expected of him.

We know that things can happen, but it looks like that Barcelona in the Spanish La Liga, Juventus in the Italian Serie A and Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga are well on their way to be crowned champions, and we’re barely at the half way line of the season. More
From one extreme to another in eight days. Everyone was praising Aston Villa after the 3-1 win at Anfield, about their route to future success, not to mention comparing Christian Benteke to every great African forward possible. Then comes the 8-0 thrashing at Stamford Bridge, and all those words of praise can be thrown away. More
For the first time in quite a while, it looks like Chelsea players are enjoying themselves. They did have a good start to the season, but it’s been a couple of months since a win brought these kind of smiles to their faces. None looked to be having more fun than Fernando Torres, enjoying the best form he’s been in since joining the Blues. More
At the end of the day, Robin van Persie was probably feeling a bit more angry towards the player that shot a ball straight to his head from point blank range, although he should be angry at the Manchester United defensive crew, which had another bad performance, allowing two points to slip away.
