2011/12 Premier League Squads Reveal

Image
The Premier League have released the 25-man - or mostly fewer - squads for all 20 teams in England's top-flight. Each club must have a squad containing no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the home-grown player criteria, with the remainder - up to a total of 25 - having to be home-grown. A home-grown player means one who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21). Players under the age of 21 (for the 2011/12 campaign those born on or after January 1, 1990) are eligible over and above the limit of 25 players , which explains why the likes of Mario Balotelli are not listed at Manchester City even though he is a part of the first-team. Everton named just 18 players - seven short of the maximum - in their official squad and -

Downing to demand Liverpool move

Reports emanating from England suggest Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing will officially put in a transfer request some time this week. The Sun understands that Downing has made up his mind on a move to Barclays Premier League giants Liverpool after learning about their serious interest in him. And despite having two years left on his current contract with Villa, Downing is determined to force a £20million move to Anfield, where he will be a part of manager Kenny Dalglish' rebuilding plans. After a terrible start to their campaign last season, Liverpool decided the change things around by hiring club legend Kenny Dalglish as manager, who immediately splashed out over £50m on strike duo Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez. The wily old Scot was also not afraid to blood a number of youngsters and hand them their first-team opportunities, and the future looks bright at Anfield. Already the club have landed England U-21 star Jordan Henderson from Sunderland this summer

Penyingkiran merupakan sesuatu yang luar biasa bagi klab2 elite disesebuah negara Di Argentina , kelab legenda seperti River Plate telah diturun pangkat ke liga divisyen 2, iaitu sesuatu perkara yang dianggap paling memalukan dalam sejarah mereka.

Ada yang korang kenal n ada yang x.. sit back, relax and enjoy.hehe 10) Ashley Cole (2010) Oh dear. Some guys really do it have it all as in the case of Chelsea ace Ashley Cole. Clearly playing for his country, earning a packet and being married to a beautiful pop star wasn't enough for the defender who played away from home rather too often for the Girls Aloud singer. After a string of affairs his wife gave him the boot earlier this year after the love rat was caught sending naked pictures of himself to a glamour model. 9) Israel (1999) Israel's 8-0 two-leg thumping by Denmark in a crunch Euro 2000 play-off demanded an inquiry on pure football grounds.

Report: Jose Mourinho to scrap 4-2-3-1 in favor of 4-3-3 Real Madrid formation

Image
Ni pasal La Liga nye brita..Real Madrid are about to make changes on their formation. 'Special One' will make adjustments to his starting XI next term to allow Nuri Sahin a regular first-team place following his arrival from Borussia Dortmund Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is ready to bin his 4-2-3-1 formation and deploy a new 4-3-3 system for next season, according to Marca . The change is to allow Nuri Sahin space on the left side of a three-man midfield. Last season's 4-2-3-1 saw Iker Casillas in goal, a back four of Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Riccardo Carvalho and Marcelo. Xabi Alonso and Sami Khedira were holding, while Angel Di Maria, Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo often played behind Karim Benzema. However, the changes Mourinho is considering will not affect the defense, but it will add a twist in midfielder and up front. It is thought that Khedira will move to the right, Alonso in the middle and Sahin

Premier League Transfer Rumours: 19th June 2011

We are into day of luka modric- chelsea love affair and unsurprisingly, Modric's bosses at Totthenham dont seem to be very jaunty. Chairman Daniel Levy released statement yesterday where he declared that Modric wasnt for sale at any price and even criticized Chelsea for going public with their interest. Harry Rednapp gave an emotional innterview where he seemed to put more pressure on Levy rather than Modric. Its the Dimitar Berbatov situation all over again and we feel Spurs are resigned to losing the midfielder and hence are desperate to spark oo a bidding war to make this their cash-cow. On a related note, The Metro claims that Chelsea are prepared to oofer Michael Essien to sweeten the deal. The Ghanaian has strunggled for form in recent times and could act as a makeweight in the deal for Modric. Done Deals Newcastle have completef the signing if renner midfileder Sylvain Marveaux, a mere 24 hours after he failed a medical at Liverpool. The winger’s groin problem caused his

Latest News- Liverpool

Liverpool hold 'boyhood dream' advantage in £10m Arsenal battle - reports The former England U21 international has been linked with a move away from the Blues' after their relegation from the Barclays Premier League last term, with Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish thought to be at the front of the queue to sign the player. However, The Daily Telegraph claims Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has now joined the race for the £10 million-rated player, with the Frenchman eyeing the former Coventry City centre back as a defensive reinforcement this summer. Chris Samba, Gary Cahill and Mamadou Sakho have also been linked with an Emirates switch in recent weeks, but now the Arsenal sights appear to have set on Dann. After missing out on Phil Jones, both clubs are eager to land a player in the position sooner rather than later in the transfer window, with arguably the Gunners harvesting a greater need due to Champions League football next season. Dann's childhood allegiance to Liver

One down, four to go: Liverpool's next £50million targets revealed

Kenny Dalglish will continue to splash the cash after his first success and failure in the transfer market. Cheered by his capture of Jordan Henderson and disappointed to lose out on Phil Jones to Manchester United, he will target the next four names on his hitlist. Dalglish is keen on Stewart Downing, Charlie Adam, Scott Dann and Sylvain Marveaux and the quartet would take his summer spending to £50million. Dalglish has turned to Downing with No 1 target Ashley Young set to join United and the England winger would cost around £12million from Aston Villa after saying he would not rush into signing a new deal with the Midlanders. Progress on Downing could be slowed because of the managerial vacancy and Gerard Houllier's successor will no doubt make a plea for him to stay. Liverpool's interest in Adam has been on the back burner since Blackpool refused their £6.4million bid in January and they will not pay more than £8million for the Scotland midfielder. Aga

Happy birthday, Liverpool FC

Liverpool Football Club is today celebrating its 119th birthday. he Reds were born when John Houlding received a certificate to alter the name of the club residing at Anfield from Everton Football Club and Athletic Grounds Company Limited to Liverpool Football Club and Athletic Grounds Company Limited. The club had been formed on March 15, 1892 at Houlding's house on Anfield Road when he and his closest friends left from Everton FC to create a new team. However, it was not until June 3 that the name Liverpool Football Club and Athletic Grounds Ltd was formally recognised by the Board of Trade, and the club could start to make history.

Reina: I never wanted to leave Anfield

Pepe Reina has once again pledged his future with Liverpool, insisting he never wanted to leave Anfield. The Spanish goalkeeper has been linked with a move away from Merseyside, with clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United both interested. However, the 28-year-old insists he is more than happy with life at Anfield and is already looking forward to next season. He told Radio MARCA in Madrid: "I am happy at Liverpool and so are my family. I've never wanted to go.It is true that we have improved a lot this year but we have to keep growing." Reina also gave his take on Barcelona, who were the newly crowned European Champions after beating Manchester United 3-1 at Wembley last week. He added: "They're the best team I've seen in my life. Xavi and [Andres] Iniesta are the best players in their position in the world. They are a world leaders in every sense. "Fortunately, they are Spanish, They're the two best players in the world at giving the fin

Dalglish eyes £16m Henderson

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is set to make a surprise move for highly rated Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson. Dalglish wants to strengthen his midfield as the Reds look to reclaim their spot in the top four of the Barclays Premier League and qualify for the Champions League next season. Now according to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Henderson has emerged as his top target for the summer transfer window. The England international has attracted considerable interest from several top clubs such as Manchester United with his impressive displays at the Stadium of Light. And in the fear of losing out to their bitter rivals, the Reds are ready to make the first move. However, the Black Cats are expecting nothing less than £16million for their prized asset and could be willing to cash in on Henderson as they look to raise their own funds. Meanwhile, Dalglish is also keeping an eye on Blackpool captain and long-time target Charlie Adam. The 25-year-old was on the brink of a

Meireles wants Reds title challenge

Raul Meireles..bekas pemain Porto..dlu under Roy hodgson cam hampeh dia main..tp bila under KD, dia dah tunjuk diri dia yang sebenar yang dia adalah seorang pemain yang berkualiti.. baca selanjutnya; Raul Meireles wants Liverpool to compete for the Premier League title next season after his disappointing debut campaign in England. The 28-year-old arrived at Anfield last summer following an £11.7million move from Porto, but failed to show his potential under Roy Hodgson. Hodgson was sacked in January in the wake of an extremely disappointing first half of the campaign and successor Kenny Dalglish helped get the best out of Meireles. But the Portugal international was still disappointed with a sixth-placed finish in the league and he hopes that the only way is up under Dalglish next season. Meireles said: "My debut in England could have been better. We finished sixth in the table, but this is disappointing for a club of the stature of Liverpool. "We failed to compete

Barcelona ambush revealed - how they beat United in 2009 Champions League final

Image
haha,i hope that man u will lose tonight.read the stories here; ShareSir Alex Ferguson has already revealed his aggressive side once this week and history would suggest he needs to do so again at Wembley.  He has to draw on his attacking instincts, return to an approach that has proved so effective in the past and target what he considers to be Barcelona's weaknesses. Mental scars: Michael Carrick was tormented by Barcelona in 2009 final He employed more cautious tactics when he met Pep Guardiola's side in Rome in 2009 and it backfired badly. The plan, Sportsmail can reveal, was a simple one. To have the security of a five-man midfield that included Wayne Rooney on the flank while targeting Gerard Pique and what they considered a flaw in Victor Valdes.  Barcelona's goalkeeper, they had concluded after studying extensive video footage, was not the best at holding shots from distance and part of Cristiano Ronaldo's remit was to put the theory to the test. A former Unite

Gareth Bale predicts dark future for Tottenham if Redknapp moves to Chelsea

Image
ShareGareth Bale has warned Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy that the club could return to an era of dark instability if manager Harry Redknapp is allowed to leave for Chelsea. Bookmakers slashed the odds on Redknapp taking the hot seat at Stamford Bridge after a surge of three-figure bets were placed on Tottenham manager on Thursday. Redknapp insists he is happy at his current club but the fluent attacking football he has brought to Tottenham, and his success in the Champions League this year, make him a plausible target for Roman Abramovich, who is looking for a new manager after sacking Carlo Ancelotti last week. Welsh wizard: Gareth Bale is confident Tottenham will get back into the top four Redknapp has succeeded where Martin Jol and Juande Ramos failed in getting the best out of Bale, who has become one of the most sought-after players on the planet thanks to a series of stunning displays this year, most notably the two performances against Inter Milan in the Champions League.
