  • Edin Dzeko – Bayern Munich and Bundesliga Return On the Horizon

    Is Edin Dzeko returning to the Bundesliga in order to join Bayern Munich? It depends on who you ask, but adding a few things together might suggest that listening to the German media, reporting about the potential transfer, might be wiser than believing Dzeko’s agent, denying the entire story.

  • Shinji Kagawa – More Than Selling Jerseys For Manchester United

    Maybe it has a touch of racism, or maybe it’s just people being pragmatic. The fact is that many believe Shinji Kagawa may be headed to Manchester United for the sole reason of boosting their jersey sales in Japan, ignoring another pretty important fact – Kagawa is a really good player.

  • Eden Hazard Prefers Chelsea to Manchester City

    Instead of playing for the Champions of England, Eden Hazard preferred to play for the European Champions. It might sound shocking, but a big part of why the Belgian international transfer to Manchester City fell was money. Money Chelsea eventually were willing to pay, bringing the hottest young talent in Europe to Stamford Bridge.

  • Liverpool Chasing Ryad Boudebouz of Sochaux

    The search and decision regarding a new manager has yet to be completed at Anfield, with Roberto Martinez looking to be the closest man to get the Liverpool position, but the club are already looking to sign players, currently in talks with Ryad Boudebouz.

  • Fernando Torres, Feeling Disappointed, Finally Confident

    After scoring a total of only 11 goals in 45 matches this season, did Fernando Torres actually think he’ll get a chance to start in the Champions League final? Well, apparently he did, and was disappointed with not being chosen to take one of the penalty kicks against Bayern Munich.

  • The Liverpool Manager Shortlist Keeps Getting Bigger

    Kenny Dalglish has been less than two weeks removed from the Liverpool Manager position, and it seems each day there’s a new name that jumps and adds himself to the list of potential replacements after a disappointing 2011-2012 campaign, with only the Carling Cup trophy to show for anything indicative of minor success.

  • Good for Manning & Broncos, Bad for Tebow & the Team That Signs Him

    Peyton Manning was simply the better, needless to say obvious choice. One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, despite his multiple srugeries, is something you go for, despite the cost, when the other option is Tim Tebow. John Elway never really caught on to Tebowing and the fan craze around the unconventional quarterback, and made the right decision.

  • 2012 NFL Free Agency – Nothing But Matt Flynn

    Matt Flynn dominated the NFL newswire. Yes, it was such a slow day. In general, it was a quarterback kind of Sunday. Alex Smith went out to meet the folks down in Florida for the growing more desperate San Francisco 49ers, while Peyton Manning kept throwing for the Titans, who look like the closest thing to signing the biggest name on the free agent list.

  • 2012 NFL Free Agency – A Weekend of Receivers and Offensive Lines

    The biggest news this weekend so far in the NFL free agency frenzy of 2012, if you can actually call it a frenzy, was wide recievers switching teams. Mario Manningham leaving the Giants and signing the San Francisco 49ers, while Brando Lloyd join the New England Patriots.

  • 2012 NFL Free Agency, Day 4 – Mario Williams Moves to Buffalo

    Mario Williams is off the board, and the Buffalo Bills are the ones hoping that the post-injury Williams is the same guy that became the Houston Texans’ all time leading sacks leader and deserved the number one 2006 NFL draft pick. In the Peyton Manning front? The Titans still seem like the closes thing to a new home in a familiar division, on a relatively quiet day of NFL free agency.
