  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 8 Most Overrated College Basketball Coaches

    What makes a College Basketball head coach overrated? After polling over 100 of them, Roy Williams of North Carolina was picked by 24% as the most overrated HC in the sport, mostly because he’s a great recruiter but a sub-par game management type of coach, which is something most of the guys on the list have in common.

  • Athletic Bilbao – Hanging on to Fernando Llorente & Javi Martinez

    The two most sought after Spanish player this summer both come from the same club that isn’t in the business of selling their players, despite the big offers. Fernando Llorente and Javi Martinez have both made an impression on Europe’s biggest clubs over the last couple of years, but Athletic Bilbao are still trying to hold on to the Spanish internationals.

  • Real Madrid – No More Luka Modric, Just Axel Witsel

    The Luka Modric ordeal is nearly over, with no real resolution. Real Madrid made a final €30 million ‘take it or leave it’ offer to Tottenham and were rejected once again, which will now probably turn their full attention to Benfica’s Belgian midfielder, Axel Witsel.

  • Liverpool – Setting a High Price for Daniel Agger

    While Liverpool have extended Luis Suarez’ contract to keep Juventus away from him and trying to Joe Allen from Swansea at the same time, they’ve also set a price for Daniel Agger, the man Manchester City are desperatly trying to sign, getting rejected again and again.

  • Leandro Damiao – Soon a Tottenham Player

    You make more news these days by being involved in some transfer rumors to a Premier League club than by scoring two goals in the Olympics semifinal, and as impressive as Leandro Damiao of Brazil has been throughout the Olympic tournament, his move from Internacional to Tottenham is a bit more interesting.
