  • Tottenham Looking for Goalkeeprs – Julio Cesar? Hugo Lloris?

    Trying to keep Luka Modric isn’t all the Tottenham are doing this summer. Chasing goalkeepers, feeling that reliable yet not too extraordinary Brad Friedel, already 41, is also part of the off-season. Hugo Lloris seems unreachable and too expensive, but Julio Cesar isn’t.

  • Manchester City – Not the Favorites to win the Premier League?

    According to Roberto Mancini, the Premier League champions aren’t going to repeat, placing Manchester City as the third or fourth on the list of favorites heading into the 2012-2013 season. Low confidence? Probably not. More like trying to his board into allowing him to spend a bit more money.

  • Joe Allen – A very Expensive Gamble for Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers

    At first look, this Joe Allen transfer is bound to fail. A young central midfielder, just like Jordan Henderson was last season, just a bit cheaper. Still, £15 million isn’t cheap, especially during these times, not matter how rich the owners are. But maybe Brendan Rodgers knows what he’s doing.

  • FC Barcelona – Alex Song Coming or Not?

    Again with Barcelona, again another Arsenal player. This time no one with an actual connection to the club. “Just” Alex Song, the 24 year old Cameroonian midfielder, who’s mostly been talked about by several Barca players, which means that despite all of Tito Vilanova’s denials, they’re probably planning to make a bid for the player.

  • Manchester United – Still Chasing Robin van Persie

    It’s been relatively quiet on the Van Persie front in recent days. He never announced anything, but the Dutch striker seems to be happy with the way things are going in Arsenal and their signings (and future ones) this summer, which hasn’t stopped Manchester United from trying to sign the Premier League’s top scorer last season.

  • Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Looks Happy & Hungry

    It was a debut night at Anfield for more than just the 2012-2013 Liverpool team, as Fabio Borini and Brendan Rodgers got their first taste of their new fans, happily making it through the second leg with Gomel with flying colors, beating the Belarussians 3-0, scoring courtesy of Fabio Borini, Steven Gerrard and Glen Johnson.

  • Neymar – How Much is he Worth Now?

    Nothing has really changed during the Olympic games. Neymar was an excellent player before them and regardless of whether Brazil win the Olympic gold by beating Mexico in the final or finish with silver, the young striker is the biggest name in Brazilian football at the moment and its most sought after talent.

  • Liverpool FC – No More Anfield Stadium?

    No, Liverpool aren’t planning on making the move to new Anfield at Stanley Park in the near future. American ownership means American thinking, and an excellent way to raise money is selling the naming rights to your stadium, no matter how legendary, old and symbolic it may be.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo Back to Scoring Goals (Real Madrid vs AC Milan)

    The 5-1 scoreline doesn’t lie. Except for a few moments in the first half, the new and downgraded AC Milan hardly had any touches throughout the match, while Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and Angel Di Maria delivered a beautiful goal to open the match, with a world of difference between the two teams in the New York friendly.

  • Lionel Messi and Nothing Much Else (Barcelona vs Manchester United)

    It’s been more than 3 years since Manchester United met Barcelona in the Champions League final, and not much has changed, except for the Barcelona head coach. Lionel Messi is the best player on the pitch, with almost anything good Barca produce during his time on the pitch, while his team’s depth and quality was once again too much for Ferguson’s men to handle.
