Arsenal looking to strengthen the team

0

According to some rumors spread on the internet, today, Arsenal will have a budget of £30 million for transfers.

But it is not known yet whether the amount will be invested in one or more players, Wenger announced a while ago that the team needs two or three players.
Considering the fact that Podolski and  Giroud are not the strikers that “The Gunners” aspire, the players which could arrive at Emirates for this amount of money are Edinson Cavani (Napoli), Radamel Falcao (Atletico Madrid), Gonzalo Higuain (Real Madrid) and Marouane Fellaini (Everton).
If we think that Falcao was bought from Porto for 40 million euros, is hard to believe that Atletico Madrid staff will let him go for a lower amount.
Asked during a press conference if Napoli striker could take the “gunners” shirt  this season, Wenger resumed only to a smile, so Cavani do not seems to be “the one” neither.

In this situation, just two names fall in those 30 millions: Gonzalo Higuain and Marouane Fellaini.
It’s already known that Fellaini wants to leave Everton, reports are emerging that  the midfielder has a £22 million buyout clause in his contract. As well, Higuain is tempted to leave Real Madrid, Mourinho is preferring  Benzema for the advanced forward position.

Roma vs Inter preview

0

Roma vs Inter is one of the most expected Serie A derbies and even from Europe. The next derby between these teams will be played on Sunday.

This season is not too good for any of the team. Inter are forth in the standings seven points behind leader Juventus and two points behind third place, the last Champions League spot. Roma are currently sitting on sixth position with six points behind Inter. So this will be a six points game.

Theoretically both teams have chances for playing in Champion League next season but any bad steps from now on will drastically reduce the chances.

As Roma are the favorites against Inter and this is probably because of to the latest results between the teams. AS Roma have managed to won two of the last five games, while Inter have won only one. The other two games ended with a draw.

You can check the odds on https://sports.bwin.com/en/sports/4/betting/football. A thing to take into consideration is that Inter have lost only one game in the last five matches while Roma have lost three of them. Both teams play better at home.

Roma have the best attack in Serie A but also one of the weakest defences with only Pescara and Cagliari behind them. The team top goalscorers are Lamela and Osvaldo both with 10 goals.

As for Inter they have the fourth defence and seventh attack. The team goalscorer is Diego Milito with only 8 goals.

Both teams will be missing some important players because of injuries. Osvaldo, Stekelenburg and Romagnoli are injured for Roma while Inter will not count on Stankovic, Castellazzi, Nagatomo, Alvarez Samuel and Cassano.

Inter and Roma will play also into the Coppa Italia semifinals. Roma past Fiorentina in the quarterfinals while Inter past Bologna.

Sahin returns to Dortmund after 2 years

Nuri Sahin left Borussia Dortmund for Real Madrid in 2011 but the injuries and bad luck kept him away from the starting lineup.

Even if he is still considered one of the best central midfielders at the moment he was allowed to move to Liverpool on loan at the start of this season. That’s because Real considered that he would get much chances of playing at Liverpool.

And indeed that was the case at the beginning but then slowly disappeared from the starting lineup. Surprisingly Liverpool decided to give up on the player in the favor of Borussia.

Sahin returns at Westfalenstadion after 2 years. He will spent at least 18 months at Borussia according to the loan contract.

Jurgen Klopp was very delighted with the arrival of one of his favorite players. He declared that this will add more competition at midfield and also would allow some midfield players to play more offensively.

0

Chelsea have activated the release clause for Newcastle striker Demba Ba. Now it’s all up to the player to decide his future.

The release clause is £7.5 millions, not so much if we consider the huge amount of moneys spent by Chelsea until now.

The Senegalese striker is having an excellent season with Newcastle where he scored 13 goals.  The 27 years old forward is second in the Premier League goalscorers standings after Van Persie.

If the transfer will materialize it would be another good transfer for Newcastle. The Magpies signed Demba Ba for free in 2011 from West Ham United. This means a £7.5 millions profit from one player in just one season.

The player was not included on the list of players who will face Everton tonight. Arsenal and Juventus were also interested in signing the player but probably Chelsea are now the favorites for his signature. Register now and get a Casino Tropez bonus code.

Liverpool to sign Sturridge in January

0

Latest news from Premier League suggest that Chelsea’s striker Daniel Sturridge is close to an agreement with Liverpool.

Liverpool are looking for a striker that can help Suarez upfront. The 23 years old forward had limited playing time at Chelsea this season and is ready for a new adventure. The transfer sum will be around €15 millions.

Even if he is still young and talented there are some fans and specialists that are not seeing this as a good move for Liverpool.

That’s mostly because Liverpool spent a lot on British players that failed to add something to the team. The best examples here are Andy Caroll, Downing, Henderson, Allen, Adam, Johnson and the list is even bigger.

Even so Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, is confident that Sturridge can help the club fill the expectations at the end of the season.
