maryann — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 10:53:52 +0000

Kenny Dalglish seemed unhappy after Liverpool needed to deal with 1-1 result after playing against Manchester City. The manager saw how his footballers also played for the football club. He wished to even praise them for playing very well. They seemed deserving of the three points. It just appeared that they were unlucky.

Dalglish said also as revealed by the reports: “The performance was fantastic but I don’t think the players got what they fully deserved. I think we deserved the three points and quite easily could have won it, but we never managed to. We got a fortunate goal but I think that is when our luck ran out. We have played against three or four goalkeepers who have played like that against us this season. Hopefully one day that will change. Manchester City started better than us but once we got into it, I think we were the better team.”

However, Dalglish also wished to just be positive. The manager wanted to think that his footballers again tried to play very well. They again tried to perform properly also to help Liverpool win against Manchester City. They even seemed deserving of the three points after the game. They only failed and because they were unlucky. He wished to think that they again tried to deliver. It was important for him to be positive. He just tried to in order to also give the footballers the right guidance after the game. It already happened. It was right for him to just deal with it properly. He also really tried to.

Dalglish, in addition, said: “I don’t think we could have asked for much more from the players. They were fantastic in the way they went about their job. I think the attitude and commitment has been superb almost since the day I came in.”

Edin Dzeko revealed that he found the game against Queens Park Rangers really challenging. The footballer considered the football club as one also hard to beat. He also admitted that he was really surprised with the football club doing very well. However, Manchester City also really tried to deliver and still managed to win in the said game.

Dzeko said: “It was a really tough match but in the end we can be happy. I think this is the best team we have played against away from home this season and I want to give my compliments to Queens Park Rangers. I was really surprised with how well they played, especially in the first half and then later on in the second half with the way they came back after we had gone ahead.”

According to the reports, Yaya Toure also thought the game against Queens Park Rangers was really a tough one. The footballer also saw the football club as very competent. The football club just performed very well. However, Manchester City tried to make it and still was able to succeed in the game to also please many supporters. He must be happy with the success happening indeed despite the difficulty. It was one to also remember. May there be another similar victory to happen soon also for the supporters. Most likely, there will be, with the football club really trying. The football club will also seriously try to win in the next one.

Toure said: “At half-time the message was to continue to play hard because it is difficult to play away from home and especially with QPR and the way they were playing made the game very tough. They put us under pressure in the first half which was difficult but that is a fantastic result for us in the end.”

More Football Clubs Can Win League Title

maryann — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 07:07:13 +0000

Reports revealed that for Vincent Kompany the progress of Manchester City will be good for the English Premier League. Also for the footballer, even the growth of Tottenham Hotspur will be. More football clubs can win the league title. Even the two mentioned can already do so.

Kompany said: “I think Tottenham and ourselves doing well in the past few years has been great. Had it just been the same four sides challenging each season, it would have damaged the game here. Now there are maybe six teams capable of winning the title and that can only be great for English football. We finished equal-second last season so there is only one spot to go for this year – and that’s to win the title. It’s a big challenge – but why not? There is pressure and expectation on us but that’s what we want.”

And it must be true that the progress of Manchester City will be good for the English Premier League and it may just get even better. And even the growth of Tottenham Hotspur may also become better. More football clubs may just show great capability of winning the league title. And supporters will be very happy, most especially the ones for the league itself they will be very glad with the league just being more exciting and eventually becoming more popular. May the football clubs just continue to show progress. And they will, also with their supporters just being there for them. They will go on just having growth with these people also giving them the support that they need to.

Kompany said: “I don’t see what we achieved last season as anything other than the beginning. The club has changed on and off the pitch since the new owners arrived. But our fans deserve success as much as other great clubs.”

Jol Praised Fulham

maryann — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 07:32:28 +0000

Reports confirmed that Martin Jol praised Fulham for being able to make the result of the game against Manchester City 2-2 draw. It appeared that the football club also exhibited considerable belief and mentality to also resurface. And the manager was pleased with the football club also just being able to.

Jol said: “We were back, I would say, from the death, is what we probably did, and then we had the belief and the mentality. We were a bit tired, but we could see [City] were a bit tired as well after [playing Napoli on] Wednesday because they played roughly the same team, so it was a fantastic achievement to come back against them. Nobody knows, but I don’t think they will give away leads like this in the future. We played well against Aston Villa and Blackburn for almost nothing, I felt, and the players felt the same. I still feel that we deserved more, but we only got two points.”

But it was also said that Roberto Mancini was depressed with the result of the game being 2-2 draw. Manchester City must have tried harder to also not allow the other football club to return to action. But the manager can only learn to accept what happened. The football club also tried seriously to but in a way not enough. Still, the game ended with 2-2. Mancini was unhappy with the outcome but he can also just deal with it well.

Mancini said: “I think every game is like this. It’s difficult here in England. When a team is losing 2-0 here they try, always, and they quickly score a first goal then they are back in the match. All the players need to defend. For 10 of 15 minutes we were defending with five or six players, it’s not good enough.”

Mancini Happy With How Manchester City Started the Season

maryann — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 06:50:26 +0000

It was revealed by the reports the Roberto Mancini was happy with how Manchester City started the season also with the football team at good position in the league standings. The football squad was also really good in the game against Tottenham Hotspur. For the boss, it must a good season despite it also being a very, very long one.

Mancini said: “I think this season is very, very long. It was important that we started the season very well. Now we have lots of players going off to play for their national team for 10 days, so we can’t see all the players for about 10 days, so (the) next game will probably be very hard because now everyone thinks we can score three of four in every match, but that is not possible. At the moment I think we have to work to play like today and at the end of the season we will see what we have achieved.”

And Harry Redknapp must be also positive with how Manchester City started the season. Most likely, for the boss, the football club was able to also because of its very good forward players. And most probably, for him, the season will be really challenging most especially to all other football teams. But the others can also make it. With all of their supporters around, they will also do well despite against the football squad of Mancini. They will have the support that they will need to. Most likely, they will also be good.

Redknapp said: “Once you get a couple of goals down from a good side like that it’s really difficult, they’re full of quality there’s no doubt about that. They’ve got fantastic forward players, they’re going to be difficult for anyone to contain them for 90 minutes.”

Manchester City Dominated Game Against Bolton Wanderers

maryann — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 08:15:49 +0000

It was confirmed by the reports that Roberto Mancini was very delighted with Manchester City dominating the game against Bolton Wanderers. For the boss, it must be also hard to most especially the other football club was also very good. But yes, his football club really tried to and made it.

Mancini said: “I can’t believe we suffered until the last second. Also because Bolton is a good team – they always try to score – but we dominated the game. It’s incredible that the game has finished 3-2. We can’t concede two goals like we did today. We need to pay more attention. The first goal, the second goal, the same – we cannot continue to concede these goals. If we want to have a good season we should pay more attention to these situations.”

And it was said that Owen Coyle was not as happy as Mancini but can also smile with Bolton Wanderers also doing well in the game recently. For him, the football club also delivered and made it difficult also for the other football club to win. His very own football club was also very good then. He can also be pleased with what Bolton Wanderers showed. He can also just smile with the football club also really performing. For him, the football club was also not the loser of the game. He must be also really proud of the football club.

Coyle said: “It was a terrific game of football. We were very much in it right up to the full-time whistle. We faced a team full of world class players and could well have got something from the game. You know that when you face an elite club such as Manchester City that they have quality right throughout the squad and we had to be at our best.”

Tevez Closer to Home

maryann — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 07:40:19 +0000

Yes, weeks ago, it was revealed to the fans of Carlos Tevez that the footballer can freely leave after Sheikh Mansour allowed him to. And according to the reports, after the revelation, some fans became frightened as they might just see him depart in the next days or weeks. But of course, a day ago, it was also just said to them that he might not also leave though he can freely do it after Manchester City owner indeed allowed him to for he can also let his family move and naturally he will already be like closer to home.

Tevez’s agent said: “I don’t think speculation about Carlos leaving is fair at the moment. I don’t think money is a consideration. Maybe it’s a case of his family coming over to him. That’s something he’s trying to sort out. I’m sure in the next week he will sort the family issue out. Once he does, he will announce it and everyone will be in a better place.”

Some fans of Tevez were said to be unhappy with the footballer having the opportunity to freely leave after he was actually allowed to. For them, it must be also just right for him not to depart. For them, he will be good if he will not do it and so as the football club.

Kia Joorabchian said: “If you look at the team they are going to get stronger and stronger and, if Carlos stays, they would be my favourite to win the title. I’m sure that will be a factor in his mind and the fact that City fans have embraced him will count for a lot along with his great relationship with the supporters. I think all these factors will be positives for him to stay. Carlos has not made any decision to move.”

Tevez Can Freely Leave

maryann — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 07:52:17 +0000

It was revealed by some reports to supporters of Carlos Tevez that the footballer can actually freely leave after Sheikh Mansour allowed him to. However, it was not made really clear if he will be really doing so. It was said that supporters just became worried.

Tevez said: “He signed me, he wants to keep me but, at the same time, he has told me to do whatever I need to do to be happy. He has told me, ‘if you want to leave, then you can go’. There is no deadline, it’s down to me. They offered me a new contract in December but I didn’t want to extend it. At the end of the season they offered me another new deal but at the moment I don’t know whether I will accept it. The pressure isn’t the issue but I miss my family and my home life in Argentina too much to be away from them.”

Well, reports also revealed that Tevez was given the permission to freely depart after talking to owner of Manchester City and not to other bosses. Yes, he was allowed to freely leave after opting to just approach the football club’s owner. And he was said to be happy that for him to have the permission, he did not have to talk to others who actually disappointed him. According to the reports, though he really wanted to be allowed to, he can only talk to the big boss.

Tevez said: “It was a situation that some people on the board created. They promised something for six months and didn’t deliver. So, after six months of promises, they don’t do something, why should I believe them now? I don’t. I will never speak to these people again. I still feel the same way. I deal direct with Sheikh Mansour, no one else.”

Manchester City Will Continue Becoming Better

maryann — Mon, 23 May 2011 04:27:24 +0000

Several reports have revealed that Roberto Mancini believes that Manchester City will just continue becoming better after the football club enjoyed an amazing season. For the boss, all of his players will be simply inspired to just go on doing well in the games to make it a football club really to look up to. Of course, all supporters were all happy with all of his nice revelations.

Mancini said: “We need more time to improve more. This is another step, but we want to take more. This is really important. Last year we didn’t do a pre-season (because of the World Cup). This year we can do a full pre-season. One month together working every day, we can do more.”

Supporters of Mancini and even of Manchester City were all glad with everything that the boss himself said, most especially with the football club just trying to continue becoming better after enjoying an amazing season. And the boss also revealed that Carlos Tevez will most likely remain as part of the said players who will be simply inspired to just go on doing well in the games to make it one to really admire. The supporters had been worried with the reports saying that the football club’s forward and also captain will be leaving. But it was also revealed to them that he will most probably not be departing. They were also happy with the another good revelation of the boss. According to him, he will most likely not be leaving indeed because of his contract with him and the football club.

Mancini said: “We need other players. This is normal, if we want to be like all the other top teams. I think that Carlos Tevez will stay here next season. He’s on a five-year contract. It’s simple.”

Football Transfer Rumours Update 11 May 2011

Betting Fixed Odds — Wed, 11 May 2011 22:42:55 +0000

Here are your latest football transfer rumours categorized by club.

Real Madrid

It looks as though Real Madrid is taking their summer attention to Carlos Tevez, who is apparently their number one target for the summer transfer window. Tevex is likely going to cost about £35 million.

After signing Nuri Sahin 9 May, the club is now setting their eyes on 28-year-old Hamit Altintop of Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich

It appears as though the offer has increased to €21 million for Manuel Neuer after the initial offer of €18 million was turned down for being unacceptable. Munich wants to acquire the very talented goalkeeper but Schalke also wants to keep him.

Schalke

28-year-old Maarten Stekelenburg of Ajax has caught the attention of Schalke. The German squad is in need of a new goalkeeper since Manuel Neuer has gone elsewhere. However, the possibility of Stekelenburg ended up in Schalke is unlikely seeing as how AC Milan and Manchester United are also said to be keeping an eye on him.

Werder Bremen

After showing interest last week, Werder Bremen is on the threshold of finalizing a deal with Bayern Munich for Mehmet Ekici, a 21-year-old playmaker who is only costing Bremen €5 million and is currently with Bayern on loan. Although Ekici has expressed interest in staying with Bayern, it appears that Bayern would rather cash in on him now rather than wait for next summer when he could leave as a free transfer.

Manchester City

It seems than Manchester City will join Everton and Aresenal in the chase for a £17 million defender from Ajax – Jan Vertonghen. Manchester City also has their sights set on two other players – Kevin De Bruyne from Genk and Axel Witsel from Standard Liège.

Other targets of Manchester City are Wesley Sneijder, Gary Cahill and Leighton Baines. Let’s not also forget Cesc Fábregas and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The latter belongs to Barcelona but the club is looking for a way out and the former has caught the eye of Barcelona in addition to City. Talk about a lot of money to be spent this summer…

Manchester United

United is expected to give a contract offer to Antonio Valencia in hopes of getting other clubs such as Real Madrid to look elsewhere for summer transfer prospects.

Also in the sights of United is Jeremy Menez who has been with Roma for three years but now apparently wants out of the club. United has competition, though, as Arsenal and Liverpool are both supposedly interested as well.

AC Milan’s Clarence Seedorf’s contract ends at the conclusion of this season and may find his way to Manchester United throughout the summer for not much of a price. He is ready to leave Milan after having been with the club for nine years.

United has tried for the previous two years to acquire Inter’s Wesley Sneijder. The 26-year-old playmaker will cost about £25 million but may actually take the offer this time around since Inter appears ready to deal.

United is said to be a pole-runner for acquiring the services of Lens’ 18-year-old Raphael Varane. Although there has been talks that Roma, Bayern Munich and Arsenal are also targeting the young defender, it is likely that he’ll end up with United – especially since the club has supposedly already spoken with his agent about a potential transfer.

Both United and City are supposedly clubs that are very much interested in Alexis Sanchez from Udinese. The 22-year-old winger has a price tag of about £26 million.

Inter

It appears as though Inter may have their sights set on 20-year-old Gaston Ramirez of Bologna, who would cost them less money than their previous primary target Alexis Sanchez, who would have cost them around €30 million to get him to transfer from Udinese. Ramirez would more than likely cost around the ballpark of €8 to €10 million since he is with Bologna under contract until 2015.

After initially wanting to sign Nuri Sahin, who ended up transferring to Real Madrid earlier this week, the Serie A club has now set their sights on 22-year-old Ever Banega from La Liga’s Valencia. If the offer is good enough, Valencia is likely to accept although the playmaker is under contract through 2013.

Chelsea

Chelsea is obviously better than Tottenham Hotspur and I’m sure they plan on using similar terms when they try to get both Rafael van der Vaart and Gareth Bale to switch clubs. Numbers somewhere around £70 million for the two has been circulating in the air.

Roma

Roma has been intrigued by 17-year-old Romelu Lukaku of Anderlecht. They want some new, young talent to add to the squad but they are in a race with Chelsea, who are more likely to secure the young striker’s services. Anderlecht is asking €30 million for the talented teenager.

Aside from Lukaku, though, Roma is also keeping solid tabs on Leandro Damiao of Internacional as well as Abel Hernandez of Palermo.

In addition, Federico Balzaretti has sparked the interest of Roma due to his impressive performance this season with Palermo. John Arne Riise is said to be heading back to the Premier League so the Serie A club is seeking an adequate replacement and see that in the 29-year-old defender. However, Roma will have to flesh out some cash if they have any chances of securing his services since he is contract until 2013.

Liverpool

Both Liverpool and Aston Villa have set sights on a skipper from West Brom – Chris Brunt, whom I’m sure couldn’t be more flattered. Brunt will probably go for between £7 and £10 million.

Bolton Wanderers

Currently with FC Copenhagen, 21-year-old Mathias Jorgensen has caught the attention of Bolton. He’ll likely not cost much – around £5 million.

Everton

Everton seems to be looking for an international goalkeeper and have their eyes set on a 25-year-old named Keiren Westwood from the Republic of Ireland International.

Tottenham Hotspur

Goalkeepers are in the sights of Tottenham – Ben Foster or Maarten Stekelenburg.

Rangers

It looks as though the Rangers may take a chance to sign a teenager from Preston, Danny Devine.
