It’s clear now that Higuain will not continue with Real Madrid next season. Juventus are also interested in signing him but is believed that Higuain will choose Arsenal after all.

Latest rumors from Premier League suggest that Arsenal and Higuain have reached an agreement and only the clubs still have negotiate on the price. Arsenal have offered him a deal of €135000 a week which is almost double than what is believed he earns at Real Madrid.

If Higuain will accept Arsenal offer and of course the clubs will agree on the price he will became the top earner at Arsenal. It is believed that Arsene Wenger is determined to stop Manchester clubs supremacy and will spent big this summer.

Marouane Fellaini from Everton, Asley Williams from Swansea City and Julio Cesar from QPR are expected to join Arsenal this summer.

Higuain joined Real Madrid from River Plate in 2007 and since then he made 187 appearances for the Spanish giants in which he scored 107 goals.

Will Shady Betting in India Ruin Cricket Pro Leagues?

There has much debate over the past few years and more so in the past couple months about the impact that betting is having over the game of cricket in India.  According to bettingsites.co.in if the games were regulated in a legal betting system the chance of match fixing would be greatly minimized, if not eliminated.

“We’ve seen many countries legalize sport betting and the outcome is always a positive one.”  Punters move from underground bookies to licensed and regulated operators.  This leads to transparency in the market which keeps the athletes safe and as well the game.  This predominant problem in India has gone on long enough to the point where the ICC has stepped up and is asking to have the act of “placing wagers” licensed within the Central Goverment of India.

Currently India is running a format of cricket where the only winners are corrupt bookmakers that steer the game and don’t pay when outcomes are against their favor.  This has to stop according to many fans and officials.  “We are having our great game ruined,” said Raj, a cricket and betting fan.  “I like to place a bet or two, nothing more than a few hundred Rupees and I want to do so in a safe place.  I’m happy that I can do so at Bet365 but I’d like to be able to line shop and have the ability to hold my head up knowing that sport bets are skill, not something that should be illegal.”

As Indian States move headward in the battle of betting they are running the course such as the Americas did.  It appears they are flushing all current forms of gambling out and making way for their own.  Letters of Intent to legally run operations in India are on their way at the State level, but hopes are that the illegal bookies which run much of South Asia will not deter a positive outcome through gorilla scare tactics.

Losing the Premier League title into the city rivals favor and the Champions League disastrous campaign haven’t gone without consequences at Manchester City. The first victim was Roberto Mancini who was sacked by City’s board.

But that’s not all as the English giants have started the transfer campaign with two big signings in order to increase their chances of winning the title next season. According to betting odds Manchester United are still the favorites to win the Premier League next season. Until then you can check the daily naps for some horse racing tips.

Fernandinho signing came just a few days after Jesus Navas arrival. The Brazilian midfielder has cost City €40 millions and he signed a four years deal with the club.

It’s well known that City is used to pay more than other clubs to get the players they want but €40 millions is a big sum even for them. That’s why some of their fans have started to put questions about the transfer.

Fernandinho played only for Shakhtar Donetsk in Europe and that’s why he is a new figure for most of the fans. Also he has made only five appearances for Brazil squad due to the same reason. Even if Shakhtar dominated the Ukraine league in the last decade and they won the Uefa Cup in 2009, Fernandinho made himself noticed last year in Champions League group stages.

The Brazilian playmaker is one of the few top player who can play on both fronts, attack and defence. He is the type of player that is called “box to box” midfielder. His passing and long shots makes him a complete player and that’s why City wanted him so much.

On the other part we must say that Lucescu, the Shakhtar coach, did not wanted to let his star leave for less that 40 millions which was his release clause.

City will appoint a new coach soon and it is believed that Manuel Pellegrini will be announced in the following days.
