As expected the top teams in Europe will already be scrambling for his signature as he is arguably one of the best and most promising talents in the football universe at the moment. The World Class player has already been linked with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool,...

WHATS HAPPENING AT ARSENAL: MY TAKE ON THINGS

Its been a pretty grim couple of weeks for Arsenal starting from the absolute capitulation against Anderlecht to losing our 15-month unbeaten home record to a severely weakened Manchester United team. There’s also the loss to Swansea sandwiched in between there. These recent awful results coupled with the sheer large number of extremely lacklustre and sometimes diabolical displays we have seen throughout the course of the season seem to have put...

THE DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER: AN ARTIST

In recent times, it is often said that the art of defending is dying in the modern game, that the obsession with free-flowing attacking football by so many managers in the game today has made defending become secondary and people forget the fact that you might score three or more goals and not win (Like Arsenal showed at Anderlecht) and might even lose, but when you keep a clean sheet, you can’t lose. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am one of the biggest...

REPLACING THE MAESTRO, DON XABI

When the summer transfer window closed, Real madrid had sold Xabi Alonso & Angel Di maria, two of their main players last season, we knew there would be trouble. Di maria's loss was seen as the biggest at the time by many, but anyone who watches Madrid knows the team isn't the same without Alonso, they'll tell you, he is the biggest loss, arguably the 2nd most important player in the squad. We saw that in the champions league final, we saw that...

CHELSEA’S PERFECT TRANSFER WINDOW

It’s safe to say that last season was the single most frustrating we as chelsea fans have ever witnessed. Brilliant against the top teams but sluggish and wasteful against the teams at the bottom. The result that summed up our season was the loss to Sunderland at Stanford Bridge. So many chances were wasted and we only sped up our play after they had scored their second goal. Funny enough, we went on to beat Liverpool the very next weekend. This...

WHY LIVERPOOL WILL NOT PULL OFF "A SPURS"

The summer of 2013 and 2014 are very similar for Tottenham Hotspurs and Liverpool. They both lost their best player, club top scorer and the PFA player of the year to a spanish team. Both also tried(Liverpool are still buying) to fix that departure by purchasing various players. Spurs finished in 6th after finishing 5th the previous season, failing to live up to early season expectation. With the previous resemblance, most people are predicting Liverpool...

LIVERPOOL: WHAT TO DO AHEAD OF THE NEW SEASON

Last season brought up mixed emotions of mission accomplished and a feeling of  "so close, but yet so far". The aim at the beginning was to qualify for the champions league, we did that with ease (and can now hear the champions league song at Anfield again, and have those great European nights). We found ourselves staring at the premier league title with 4 games to go on the year of the 25th anniversary of Hillsborough. At the end, we let it...

TRANSFER SCOPE: MANCHESTER UNITED

TRANSFER SCOPE: MANCHESTER UNITEDLAST SEASONThe 2013/14 season was definitely one to forget for Manchester united fans.  Under the guidance of David “the chosen one” Moyes, they went from defending champions and title contenders to scrambling for a Europa league spot with the likes of Tottenham and Everton, teams considerably below united on the financial, trophy and status fronts.  The faults last season were clear and aplenty from dressing...

BARCELONA: THE CHANGES NEEDED

The season 2013/2014 would be remembered by Barcelona fans as the worst season since the pre Guardiola era. It ended trophyless, as a club as big as Barcelona should not regard winning the supercup a trophy. The highlight of the season was winning both league clasicos but even that was sour, as we do that normally. The writing was on the wall for Gerdado Matino and he quickly resigned claiming the expectation of living up to Guardiola was too much...
