Transfers We Want To See

At times we hate to see them go. But also at times, we want them to go. This is because some players are not given the opportunities to perform to their pinnacle in the peak of their careers. We all love good football, fantastic competition and on field rivalry. All this would be possible only if we have talent evenly distributed. There would be the big spenders to grab hold of the big name, but a good league would have teams possessing even amounts of talent. We have listed some players which we believe should switch in order to roll start their careers once again. Some are highly talented yet relinquishing at the not so successful clubs, unable to give them European exposure.





Luka Modric Is Eager to Quit At White Hart Lane
1.Luka Modric
He carried forward the torch at White Hart Lane along with some well established names. However, currently, Modric does not fit well into Harry Redknapp’s starting lineup. The Spurs manager is determined to bring in some new signings in the January transfer window. Modric has expressed his desire to exit the club and we want it to happen soon considering the waste of his talent. In which club would the Croatian best fit into??? Liverpool?  May be or may be not.




Hazard:Hot Property In Europe
2.Eden Hazard
He has already set the alarm bells ringing. By revealing his desire to exit Ligue 1 after the current season, Hazard has initiated a tough fight for the heavy weight clubs to sign him. These include Real Madrid, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.  The Belgian sensation wants to finish the season with Lille and then make the summer switch to one of the big clubs in Europe.




Pavlyuchenko:Out Of Favour With Redknapp
3.Roman Pavlyuchenko
He made a stunning entry with the spurs but since then has been hot-and-cold. The 29 year old Russian with good finishing instincts is unable to make it to the starting line up. A move to club where he could get match time would help him immensely and save him from this oblivion phase.  Making just two appearances in the EPL this season has not helped the striker’s cause at all. The Russian insists that he will put forward a transfer request in the winter transfer window to aid him to move to Anzhi Makhachkala.






Cahill Has Given A Hint To His Move To A Better Club
4.Gary Cahill
The Bolton defender has alerted all interested clubs by accusing his team-mates of not giving in everything during a football match. The English defender has been tracked by some of the big names in Europe. Arsenal was close to sign the defender but eventually the transfer talks broke down in summer. Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea in the EPL are all interested to bring him to their clubs while Real Madrid monitoring the situation closely.  It remains to be seen where this talented Englishman lands after the winter transfers.





Carlos Tevez Has Been Warming The Benches Lately At City
5.Carlos Tevez
The City striker is inching to leave the club after his fallout with club manager Roberto Mancini. The present form of Mario Balotelli coupled with the impressive start to the EPL season leaves no option for Teves but to leave the club. Harry Redknapp has revealed that he is an admirer of the Argentine forward and this may initiate a possible move to White Hart Lane.


Yet another interesting transfer window coming up in January. We  all want to see the unutilized talents being used to its potential to produce fabulous football.

End Of Arsenal Misery ???

Ramsey after netting the winner for the Gunners


  With two wins on the trot Arsene Wenger has reasons to smile. After committing to the club for three more years, Arsene wenger can now  look forward to keep the momentum going in the Barclays Premier League as well. The win againt Marseille was far from impressive. It took a late Aaron Ramsey goal to secure three valuable away points, in a match that could have gone any way. But Ramsey provided a clinical finish that put Arsenal on top their group table in the UEFA Champions League. Arsene Wenger is happy with the "little steps forward".
Arsene Wenger can afford to smile for now

All Arsene and his men need to do is to replicate this performance in their home league. This moral boosting victory should not be taken for granted however.Its a different ball game altogether in the league. Next up Arsenal face Stroke City at home which would provide a further chance to the players to regroup and get going in the league.
Gunners Winter target: Yann M'Vila of France

Things to come may well change for Arsenal and it seems Arsene Wenger has some impressive signings up his sleeve this winter. Vermaelen has penned down a four-year contract with the Gunners which solves much of arsenals defensive problems. However, rightly as former Gunner Dennis Bergkamp believes, Arsenal needs more firepower. Additions to the squad like Hulk, Mario Gotze, Eden Hazard, Yann M'Vila, Loic Remy, Yoann Gourcuff and Lucho Gonzalez. However much has to be thought about at the Emirates regarding the player retention policy.

IS THIS THE END OF AN ERA ???

Arsenal Fans have always been supportive of Arsene Wenger
I am an Arsenal fan. I have seen the glory days when Arsenal FC lifted many trophies..I had friends who would discuss strategies and give their opinion on anything relating to the clubs transfer, new signing or a media release. Arsene Wenger has been an eminent and respectable manager, better know for grooming young talents.. He has the knack of spotting young talent both in the UK and other countries. The fans have lent tremendous support for the manager.."In Arsene we trust" has been a popular slogan over the years.

.
Will the new signings ease a bit of the problem?
Times have changed. Arsenal FC have been without any silverware for a long time now...Players like Cesc Fabrigas and Samir Nasri have exited the club which helped them gain much of the lime light..
Is Arsene Wenger losing the plot somewhere to hold on to key players???
Is he not ready to bring big signings to the club???
Are his glory days in Arsenal FC over???
Or is there light at the end of the tunnel for Wenger??

Fooball Frenzy...

Its the most played game on the planet...the most watched...The football World Cup surpasses even the Olympics in terms of viewership...It is easily the most talked about game..Football has its own magic..The origin of the game is debatable till today but one really need not worry about that. Such has been the anxiety of the fans...

Enthusiastic football fans

Football grips people in madness and this is evident from the brawls between the fans...In England there are regular fists thrown at rival supporters before or after an important match...Death threats had been issued to fans, match officials, and believe it or not, to coaches and players too.

Lionel Messi- UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador
On a lighter side the above mentioned scenarios only reflect the attachment to the game...We all have our our favorite teams, footballers and coaches...We idolize them for their skills on field and their persona and charisma...Footballers have been known to be generous with several famous football players being Goodwill Ambassadors of UNICEF and UNESCO...Such have been their appeal to the masses...We love them! We have their posters on our walls! We spend sleepless nights to catch a glimpse of them...Its a football frenzy out there...
