Liverpool about to snatch Sahin and Tello.

Liverpool have seemingly beaten Premier League rivals Arsenal to the double signing of Real Madrid’s Nuri Sahin and Barcelona’s Cristian Tello. * By Tom Conn Follow @TomConnISF The Metro says the English club have sent managing director Ian Ayre over to Spain just a week before the season begins to tie up deals for winger Tello and midfielder Sahin. New manager Brendan Rodgers is desperate to continue his Anfield revolution and create a good squad to force the club back into the Premier League top four. Rodgers has been keen on Barcelona starlet Tello for some time and was buoyed by the news that the youngster had not been included in the Catalan club’s official squad numbers for the new season. Tello has been told he can leave the Camp Nou on loan of for a good free, but question marks over him wanting to play in England still remain. Whilst in Spain, Ayre is also expected to meet with Real Madrid’s Sahin, who has been linked with a whole host of clubs this summer. Sahin was close to a move to Arsenal, but Liverpool believe they can hijack it with Jose Mourinho good friends with Rodgers.

Ronaldo Voted For Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil In Ballon d’Or Poll

Image
By  mac14  on January 14, 2014 0 Cristiano Ronaldo pipped Lionel Messi to the much-famed Ballon d’Or Award last night, with the Real Madrid attacker getting just 2% more votes than the Barca maestro. In fairness, while Messi was excellent once again during 2013, you couldn’t really begrudge Ronaldo winning the award as he was simply sensational.  Things may have turned out differently had Messi not picked up a couple of ill-timed injuries, but I think the right man won in the end. The voting system is made up of votes from each captain, manager and a media representative of FIFA member nations. Being Portugal’s captain, Ronaldo was also able to submit his ‘top 3′ players for the year and while he predictably ignored his closest rivals, the attacker did select Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil as one of picks. The 28-year-old perhaps slightly surprisingly voted for: Radamel Falcao Gareth Bale Mesut Ozil Obviously Ronaldo played alongside Ozil for the fi...

Full Arsenal injury update

ON  JANUARY 15, 2014  • BY  BOB I know that it seems Arsenal are taking one step forward and two steps back on the injury front recently, somehow it seems that the Gunners are just about getting away with it. It really is amazing that Arsenal have managed to stay at the top of the Premier League so long while carrying more injuries than all of our rivals, but we have and as long as the bad run of luck does not keep going, Arsenal look set to have an almost full squad to choose from going into a the tough business end of the season. Two more Arsenal players picked up injuries in the away win against Aston Villa. Tomas Rosicky seems to have broken his nose, while Nacho Monreal took a whack to his foot and there are fears he may have fractured a metatarsal. But the Rosicky could play in a mask and Monreal could be back in a few short weeks. Meanwhile, Kieran Gibbs has recovered from his own calf problem just in time to step in and Oxlade-Chamberlain gives Arsenal mor...

Arsenal 0-2 Swansea

I wrote on Friday that Arsenal`s recent away draws would be better judged in the light of proceeding home results. I think we can agree that that went well. Pre match I watched Chelsea`s malaise beamed back onto the Arsenal Tavern screens, their despair burned onto LCD display for a crowd of cheering patrons. Usually Chelsea`s misery is my meat, but somehow I felt to delight in their plight would be premature. Arsene made some changes to the side that drew with Goodison on a bitterly cold day in North London. Carl Jenkinson and Kieran Gibbs came in for the injured Laurent Koscielny and Bacary Sagna. Lukas Podolski came back from illness and was awarded his chance as a centre forward, with Gervinho and Walcott flanking him. I think the idea was that the front three would form a liquid, interchanging unit. It ended up looking more of a grey sludge of inertia. Neither of the three, as individuals or as a collective, produced much for the Swans defence to trouble themselves with. Th...
