Two weeks in a row, Tottenham have drawn 1-1 after conceding late equalisers against arguably lesser opponents. And two weeks in a row, André Villas-Boas has started with a lone striker before adding a second after a gutless first half performance. So, with the international break soon upon us, Spurs fans will be hoping that
When Arsenal take on Liverpool this Sunday, the Scousers will know they have already beaten Arsenal once this season. With Nuri Sahin, Liverpool have acquired a player who understands the style of Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, and will be raring to go after a frustrating season at La Liga champions, Real Madrid. It was

In Guatemala there lives a small tribe of thirty-five, ranging from newborns to elders well into their seventies. They work together in harmony, in a wooded area behind the ruins of a huge pyramid erected centuries ago by the Aztecs, or the Incas, or the Mayans, I forgot which. It’s mightily impressive, whoever built it.
Over spending, sustainability, crazy, gun ho … All words you will see scattered around when reading about the transfer activity surrounding Queens Park Rangers, yet is this the truth?

Dimitar Berbatov is not going to be a Manchester United player talked about by all generations in the same way Bobby Charlton and George Best have been. But for the section of United fans who have watched Dimitar Berbatov play for the club for the past four seasons will always remember themselves what a wonderfully

Liverpool have made another new signing this season, with it being 18 year old forward Samed Yesil from German side Bayern Leverkusen. But who exactly is he? Name – Samed Yesil Age – 18 Position – Striker Nationality – German £1 million is the price that brought the 18 year old from Germany
Sunday 19th August 2001, away to Manchester United on our first full season in the Premiership, was my first Fulham game. Then, as last weekend, we lost 3-2. What has changed is that the squad and ethos of the entire club has altered dramatically since that day 11 years ago. Back then we were on
The sale of Nigel De Jong is an extremely strange one. Widely regarded as one of the world’s best defensive midfielders, Manchester City are letting the Dutchman leave City for a measly £3.5m to AC Milan. Hardly a good return on for a player in his prime, especially compared to the price he was bought
Jordan Rhodes has today finalised his move to Blackburn Rovers in a record breaking deal for Huddersfield. The bid, rumoured to be £8million, was Blackburn’s fifth bid for the Scottish international this summer until the Terriers reluctantly accepted the offer. The 22-year-old joined on a five-year-deal as he aims to help Rovers return to the
Javi Martinez has moved to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich on a 5-year contract today.

As there are just two days left of the transfer window, Daniel Levy is finally making his moves. Tottenham fans are used to this. The Media are used to this. Other chairmen are becoming used to it. It’s as if he sets himself a challenge of trying to do as many deals as possible in
€50 million appears too much for Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, to part with as Chelsea are set to miss out on ‘The Incredible’ Hulk. He looks set to move to the current Russian champions, Zenit St Petersburg. But is this a coup for Zenit or a near-miss for Chelsea? Hulk rarely settled as a young
There were moments during January when, as a Manchester City fan, I winced when looking at City’s starting eleven. Given that Vincent Kompany had recently received a four-match suspension, and that Kolo Toure was absent due to his participation in the African Cup of Nations, Roberto Mancini was left with two options, play Stefan

Losing Luis isn’t the end of the world for Manchester United, but rather a new beginning. Luis Nani has spent 5 years hugging the sideline and cutting inside to prove himself at Old Trafford, and boy can he do it well, but he hasn’t lived up to the potential everyone knows he has. Because of

Finally, almost eighteen-months after transfer rumours first began, Luka Modric has finalised a move away from White Hart Lane and away from a four-season spell at the North London club. In 2008, a relatively unknown, slight and fragile looking central midfielder turned up from Dinamo Zagreb with the world at his feet. At the age
For the last few years, it seems that Juventus have been in search of a world-class striker. However, with Juve winning their first Scudetto since the 2002-03 campaign*, this year is more vital than ever. In the final days of the transfer window, Juventus have made this mission their top priority. Here are the more
The Squad It’s been a busy summer over in the Italian region of Tuscany, the Fiorentina management team have worked their socks off in a bid to give Vincenzo Montella a squad that can improve on last season’s disappointing 13th finish in Serie A. I suspect they may have succeeded. The La Viola have taken
This morning the transfer of Croatian midfielder Luka Modric was finally completed for a fee of 33 million pounds + extras including a very suspicious and much discussed “club partnership” clause.
