    FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi Will Never Leave

    Some players are just impossible to imagine playing in a different uniform than what they are now. Lionel Messi has been a Barcelona player since 2000, arriving from Argentina at the age of 13. He played his first match in the league four months after his 17th birthday. It’s hard to see him wearing any other jersey but the one he’s plays in now.

    Transfer Rumors 2012 – Ashley Cole Won’t Stay With Chelsea

    It’s not a final decision yet, but it looks like Ashley Cole won’t be staying with Chelsea once the 2012-2013 season ends, not really pleased with receiving only a one year extension offer from the club and sensing that his future in football is waiting elsewhere.

  • PSG Finding a Way to Handle UEFA’s Financial Fair Play

    How is it that a team that has already spent €146 million this summer alone isn’t feeling the wrath of UEFA? Paris Saint-Germain aren’t one of the more profitable or valuable sides in Europe, playing in a stadium that holds only 45,000 fans and being part of the not so globally popular French Ligue 1.

  • Financial Fair Play – What About Chelsea, Manchester City & PSG

    In the list of clubs published by UEFA, we didn’t see the names of any of the continent’s big spenders, specifically not PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City, who stand out among the rest of Europe’s big clubs because of their inability (at the moment) to generate sufficient funds without the help of their owners dipping into their own pockets.

  • Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Not What’s Best for PSG

    Not every footballer loves being a star and the focus of attention. Zlatan Ibrahimovic? Give it to him all day. He’s born to score, win championships and for moments of being crowned and distinguished apart from his peers, like getting his name plaqueted on the Malmo walk of fame in Sweden.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Will Cristiano Ronaldo Leave Real Madrid? Where Will he Go?

    Speculation, rumors and what not. Although there’s a very good chance that all of this Cristiano Ronaldo drama is set up just so he can get a better contract, there’s always the small chance that he’s actually unhappy and wants to leave Real Madrid, which leaves about three possible clubs that might be able to afford him – Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Anzhi Makhachkala.

    10 Most Expensive Football Transfers in Summer 2012

    Who would have guessed three years ago that Paris Saint-Germain will have three players in the top 10 most expensive signings of the 2012 summer transfer window? Despite big names like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robin van Persie and Eden Hazard, the most expensive deal was to get Thiago Silva of AC Milan.

  • PSG – Not the Start Everyone Expected

    Two matches into the 2012-2013 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain are undefeated, but still win-less, finishing their visit to Ajaccio in a 0-0 draw while losing both Ezequiel Lavezzi (after a two footed challenge) and Carlo Ancelotti to red cards in another disappointing outing.

  • 6 Teams That Must Win the League Title in 2012-2013

    Another year, and more managers, or sometimes the same names, on the hot seat. Not winning a title for any of the big clubs in any leagues never goes down so well, but in 2012-2013, the pressure is mostly on the men running Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

  • Zlatan Ibrahimovic Debut – Perfect; PSG’s? Not so Much

    Putting money on Zlatan Ibrahimovic to finish 2012-2013 as the top scorer and player of the season in France is an easy decision to make. He began his Ligue 1 career by scoring twice to save PSG from an opening day defeat at home against Lorient, which might show that PSG won’t have it as easy, at least in the early goings, as most have predicted.
