There is no doubt about it that Arsene Wenger is a manager under extreme pressure from his own fans to make a move in the January window. The Frenchman himself has even hinted, for once, that he may well be willing to spend if the right quality becomes available at a good price. Some Gunners’ supporters [...]

Liverpool have been dealt some serious blows in the transfer market over the past few seasons. While the club may not have fallen foul to the cult of the badge-kisser over the years, they have certainly had their fair share of fallen idols and unsavoury characters in and around the first-team squad. The latest villain to add [...]

There’s nothing better than a ‘One Season Wonder’ – a player who wows the fans and pundits alike, only to prove they are in fact completely useless and Lady Luck has been carrying their career for the past season. The best part of watching a player like this is the moment when you’re in the pub, [...]

It seems years ago now, well in fact it was years ago, but Kieran Richardson’s loan move to West Brom back in 2005 proved to be one of the most genius pieces of Premier League business in the history of the competition. The former Manchester United youngster was in lethal form and at times appeared to be keeping the [...]

You may love or loathe the January window, but there is no question that it represents an exciting time in the Premier League calendar. It is fair to say that you can take a majority of the gossip with a pinch of salt for the large part, but in my mind it is the rumours that [...]

With the transfer window officially open we can now brace ourselves for the four-week circus that comes around every January. Some say that it is the wrong time to do business, although you can’t help feel that certain managers will be delving into the transfer market in the coming weeks. To celebrate the opening of the [...]

The Premier League may not be the best league in the world but it is certainly the most expensive, both on and off the pitch. The Sky money has raised the bar in English football whereby the equal split of TV revenues ensures that each club within it tends to have a bit of a transfer kitty to [...]

As we fast approach the January window the one club you can expect to be active is Liverpool FC given that Brendan Rodgers has been running the show on the barebones of a squad, given the fact he was let down by FSG in the summer. One particular area that the Liverpool manager will be looking to strengthen [...]

The League Cup represents a great opportunity for young starlets attempting to make their mark at their respective Premier League clubs. The likes of Andros Townsend, Ryan Tunnicliffe and Ross Barkley have all benefitted from the completion and started the ball rolling on their footballing career. This year’s Capital One Cup has proved no different with an [...]

Arsene Wenger has always prided himself on placing a lot of faith in youth. Cesc Fabregas, Alex Song and Jack Wilshere are just a small example of the huge success that Wenger has had in finding and blooding young raw talent into his Arsenal squad over the years As with all successes, there are always failures, [...]

Over the years Manchester United have produced some of Europe’s finest footballers through their ranks. Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and David Beckham sailed through the ranks and into the first team. However, it hasn’t been an easy ride for everyone. We look at ten players who promised Manchester United so much but due to [...]

Peter Crouch was quoted in the papers morning that with no front teeth and a brace in place that it was a good job he was married as he looks a bit of a mess at the minute. It was also he who famously gave the answer “a virgin” – when asked the question ‘What would [...]

As a youth talent scout, hours upon hours are spent watching youngsters play football on cold, rainy pitches all over the globe, in the hope of unearthing the next world star. Well, we’ve made it a whole lot easier for you (as well as being warmer and dryer), by travelling back in time to bring you [...]

Thanks to Melissa Satta, even if former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng doesn’t win that many honours during his career, he will still be remembered by us all. The underwear model has made plenty of boasts about her activities with Boateng and even claims that she is responsible for the AC Milan star’s injury problems this [...]

Following on from the ‘Most Hated XI’ is another team but this time made up of some of our favourite cult heroes. The first question is ‘what is a cult hero?’ Well for starters, here’s what it isn’t- a truly great player that’s admired by everyone both inside and outside his club. Someone like Eric Cantona [...]

A transfer window just wouldn’t be the same without some laborious saga that seemingly runs for months and months, causing nothing but endless frustration for supporters and the managers who desperately want to use the money to strengthen other areas of their playing staff. The Luka Modric saga has finally taken over the Wesley Sneijder to [...]

With the transfer window set to open in a matter of days it is clear that Premier League managers will be searching high and low for the bargains that maybe on offer. Some clubs have already been busy with Arsenal securing the services of Lukas Podolski, while Chelsea moved quickly to snap up Marko Marin from [...]

It has been a tough time for Arsene Wenger this season with pundits, ex-players and the press doing everything to stick the knife into the Arsenal manager this season. The decision to take off Oxlade-Chamberlain earlier this year against United caused more headaches than the Frenchman could have imagined and scrutiny over his management like he [...]
