PSG sign Alex

Posted on | January 27, 2012 | No Comments

Paris Saint-Germain have signed Chelsea defender Alex. The player has signed a contract of two and a half year deal. The transfer sum is believed to be around €6 millions.

The Brazilian defender was used  more as a substitute after Andre Villas-Boas took Chelsea as coach. Now after Cahil’s arrival his playing time would have been more limited. Alex was wanted by Ancelotti who previously worked with him at Chelsea.

The 29 years old defender declared that he is happy with the move and knows that he would have more chances to play for his new club.

The Brazilian defender has 18 appearances for his National squad and played during his career for Santos, Chelsea and PSV.

Milan signed Maxi Lopez

Posted on | January 27, 2012 | No Comments

Milan have announced the signing of Maxi Lopez from Catania.

The transfer sum is not known yet. Lopez looks to be more like a  backup solution for Ibrahimovic. It’s hard to believe that he will be a first choice at Milan.

The Italian giants had an agreement with Catania and the player for some time now but their primary target was Tevez from Manchester City. Milan have already reached an agreement with Tevez but they have not City’s permission. Cassano and Pato are injured and Lopez could be helpful until the Brazilian will be ready to play again.

Lopez played during his career for teams like River Plate, Barcelona, Mallorca, Cska Moskow and Gremio.

Juventus to loan Caceres again

Posted on | January 26, 2012 | No Comments

Martin Caceres will join Juventus from Sevilla on a loan deal with the option to buy at the end of the season.

Caceres was loaned at Juventus also in 2009-2010 season when he played in 15 games for Juventus and scored 1 goal. Juventus will pay Sevilla €1.5 millions initially and will have the option to make the deal permanent for another €8 millions.

The 24 years old defender has made 38 appearances for Uruguay and scored one goal. Probably this will be the last transfer for Juventus in this transfer period as the window will close at the end of this month. Caceres played 13 games for Barcelona but he was mostly of the time loaned to other teams.

The Uruguayan is very versatile as he can play as centre-back, right-back or defensive midfielder. With this move Conte hopes to solve  the defensive problems.

The best football players

Posted on | January 24, 2012 | No Comments

The best football players that are still in activity are changing from year to year. That’s why I decided to create a new list with the best players from my point of view.

Of course there are a lot of players that I would have put here  if it was about their entire activity but this list is only about latest performances. I would mention here players like Del Piero, Francesco Totti, Raul, Michael Owen, David Beckham, Ronaldinho and many others that are still playing but who past their prime.

Also I did not want to make a huge list so I tough that a “top 10 best football players” will be enough.

#1 Lionel Messi -  Messi is undoubtedly the best football player in the World. The Argentinean has won already everything with his club and individually and like experts say the only thing remain is a trophy with his country.

#2 Cristiano Ronaldo – Ronaldo remains close to Messi mostly because of his percentage of goals. The Portuguese is still a goal machine but in my opinion he should have stay at United. Like Messi, Ronaldo needs a trophy with his country.

#3 Xavi -  Xavi is definitely the best central midfielder in the last decade of football. Many people say that Xavi makes Messi big with his passes and the only reason why Messi fails at Argentina is because they do not have “a Xavi” in the team.

#4 Wesley Sneijder – Sneijder like Xavi is one of the best central midfielders in the World. In my opinion he should have won the Golden Ball in 2010 as he won the treble with Inter and reach the World Cup final with his country.

#5 Wayne Rooney – Ronney in my opinion is the best football striker at the moment. He won a lot of trophies with Manchester United but like many football player from this list he failed with the national squad.

#6 Andres Iniesta – Iniesta is another formidable player from Barcelona a team that dominates football at the moment. The Spanish international has the advantage that he can play wherever is needed at midfield. Iniesta was on the Golden ball shortlist in the last couple of years.

#7 Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Ibrahimovic like Rooney is one of the best strikers in the World. The Swedish star has won the title every year with different clubs in the last seven years. Unfortunately he failed to win the Champions League trophy.

#8 Nemanja Vidic -  Vidic is by far the best defender in the World. Man United success in the last couple of years is largely due to him, Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo.

#9 Steven Gerrard- Gerrard in my opinion is Liverpool’s Xavi. And this can be confirmed by Torres form at Chelsea. Torres and Gerrard formed a formidable couple in Liverpool attack. Unfortunately for him Gerrard get’s injured too often recently and this affected Liverpool results.

#10 Cesc Fabregas – Fabregas is the last player on my list. His absence is deeply seen at Arsenal who failed to find a replacement for him.

In conclusion the best football players list contains 3 players from Spain, 2 from England and one from Holland, Sweden, Argentina, Portugal and Serbia.

Will Drogba join Anelka?

Posted on | January 23, 2012 | No Comments

Shanghai Shenhua are hoping to sign Didier Drogba this summer to make couple in attack with Nicolas Anelka.

Anelka left Chelsea this winter after Chelsea decided to not extend his contract. The Chinese club are offering big wages to their players and Anelka is one of the best paid players. If Drogba would accept to join Shanghai he could be the best paid player from the club as they are willing to offer him a contract of around €300000 a week for the next two or three years.

Drogba came at Chelsea in 2004 and became one of the best players. Before Chelsea he played for Marseille, Guingamp and Le Mans.

For the national team Drogba played 79 games and scored 52 goals.

 

Football players and their vices

Posted on | November 1, 2011 | No Comments

It is well known that football players are spending huge sums of money on their vices. That’s why lots of them are bankrupt just after retiring from playing.

On the other side there are also players that are winning nice sums of money. There are a lot of examples with famous players but I won’t mention any of those in here.

Among these vices a special place is occupied by gambling and casino. Some of them prefer to play gambling and  kasino online.

That’s the reason why the number of the casino’s has increased in the last couple of years. Casino Online Unibet is one of the best places where you can find everything from free games to real time casino, poker or bingo. Of course if you are a new client there are some bonuses for you to help you at the beginning.

Another good thing to know is that you should read the terms and conditions before you register.

Should Fifa introduce video replay?

Posted on | August 18, 2010 | No Comments

The video replay one of the most discussed topic in football in the recent years.

Everyone expects from the referees to be perfect, or at least to reduce the mistakes during the games but it looks that this is a very hard task to do. So everyone tries to find solutions, and Fifa is pressed from all sides to come with an alternative.

In the first phase Fifa tried the system with 6 referees, tested it in Europa League, but even this solution doesn’t seem to be better. There were also speculations that the ball should contain a chip to signal when the ball passes the line of the goal but the solutions is not well seen by the specialists.

So at the moment it looks like the only viable solution is the video replay.Regarding the video replay the opinions are divided with a plus for it. Fifa is pressed to take a decision especially after the World Cup mistakes, when some of them proved to be crucial.

So after rugby, basketball, tennis or american football we might have video replays also in football. This decision would bring advantages but not only.

At advantages we can mention fewer mistakes that can decide games and fewer scandals. On the other side the spirit and the charm of the game would suffer.  Imagine for example a game show with a similar setup – a Who Wants To Be Millionaire Online Game for example would take so long and become boring. Also the game could have more than 10 minutes of additional time which could determine the players to lose their patience  awaiting for the verdict, the fluidity of the game could also suffer.

The final decision will be taken in November but there are chances for a positive answer.
