Ferguson Not Allowing Ferdinand to Go

maryann — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 11:15:17 +0000

Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that he would like to still have Rio Ferdinand in the coming years. The manager wished to clarify that he would try to also encourage the footballer to stay and still play for Manchester United. He still considered it important to try to. He would not allow him to go in the coming years.

Ferguson said also as confirmed by the reports: “I’ve got no thoughts of letting Rio go. He’s got a part to play. He’s got experience and he’s a big figure in our dressing room. The players look up to him, so that will continue. He can play for another couple of years, quite easily.”

Ferguson considered that Ferdinand may also just decide to go. It was even reported that the footballer may leave and just move to another big football club. However, the manager wished to also really try to encourage him to stay. He would still help his other footballers be motivated to do well in the games and just help Manchester United deliver in the games. He may also decide to stay. The manager wanted to just really try to still have him. Supporters also wished to help him be able to encourage him. They wanted to, just for the help that he would give to the footballers and the football club.

Ferguson said: “We’ve built the team for the day that Gary Neville left and Rio left, it’s a fact. We have to look ahead and there’s nothing wrong with that. But it shouldn’t mean that Rio looks upon it as the end of his football life. He has been such a good player for us that it was important for me to explain his position. The fact is he’s not as quick as he was five years ago. That happens. People lose their pace.”

Manchester United Replacements Performing Properly

maryann — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 09:57:30 +0000

Reports confirmed that Manchester United replacements also performed properly in the game against Aldershot Town and must be praised as revealed by Sir Alex Ferguson. They all delivered perfectly in the match and must be only appreciated also according to the manager. It was challenging for them to, but they all really tried to also for the football club.

Ferguson said: “The players always give me nudges (to play). It’s difficult picking a team when you’ve got so many good players, we’ve got a fantastic squad, that’s why I’m bound to play these players tonight, they need games. They’ve not had too many first-team games to be honest because the consistency of the team has been very good, we’ve not had to make any changes. But with Michael Owen, every time he plays, he scores; it’s a fantastic record he’s got, he’s a fantastic professional. Dimitar Berbatov has had a fantastic game tonight, scored a tremendous goal from great football.”

Aldershot Town footballers also just did very well in the game that happened only recently and must be also flattered as said by Ferguson. They delivered although only differently and must be given admiration according to the manager. Indeed, despite the difficulty, they all really tried to still make it although in different way. They also made their supporters happy with how they did in the said match. And they may just really try again to do very well in their next game and may already really make it right there.

Ferguson said: “I think Aldershot have fought really hard and they take a lot of credit, they never stopped running, they never stopped pressing the ball, they put in a good shift. We obviously showed our quality at times and could have maybe scored a few towards the end of the match when they tired.”

Villas-Boas Pleased With Champions League Win

maryann — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 09:42:03 +0000

It was revealed by the reports that Andre Villas-Boas was pleased with the Champions League win he and Chelsea delivered. And it was also one with Fernando Torres who was also coming back to being fit. Villas-Boas also confirmed he also talked to the footballer about the controversy in midweek.

Villas-Boas said: “The investigation is over. We had a chat. Hopefully these things won’t arise again in the group but, if they do, the manager will deal with them. I wasn’t worried (that Torres opted to pass rather than shoot for the goals). I think he took a wise decision. I’m very pleased with the effort of everybody and particularly with the way the game was played – the passing and the fluency.”

And Villas-Boas can only be happy with the Champions League win he and Chelsea tried to make. It was one to also remember most especially it was also with Torres who was also there to help. There was a controversy but the boss and his footballers even Torres wished to focus more on doing well in the match to also have the Champions League win. It was also hard in a way but they all tried to also for all the supporters. They all performed well and able to enjoy what they really wished to. After, they celebrated. But also after some time they started preparing for the next game on a Sunday. For him, it will be one to also really pursue. It will be a one big match for them and all the supporters of the football club.

Villas-Boas, in addition, said: “Sunday is a different kind of challenge. We face Man United in perhaps their most tremendous moment of motivation, flair and style – and a team that has made its impact in the beginning of the Premier League. Motivation will be a key factor.”

Sneijder Also Impressive According to Ferguson

maryann — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 08:44:24 +0000

It was revealed by the reports that Wesley Sneijder can be considered also impressive according to Sir Alex Ferguson. But the footballer cannot be the ideal replacement for Paul Scholes, and this was also another fact for the boss. He cannot be at the Old Trafford and replace the retired footballer. But he must be one footballer to also have for a different purpose.

Ferguson told a major Italian national sports newspaper: “Sneijder is not the ideal replacement for Scholes. He is a fantastic player, but not what we were looking for. Only Xavi and (Andres) Iniesta can be compared to Scholes.”

But enough of about Sneijder and more about him, Ferguson continued explaining. Plans of retiring as Manchester United manager cannot be pushed through. He cannot also retire and leave the football club without also knowing who could also really replace him. He can already stop managing the football club but he must see to it first that someone else can also handle Manchester United well. He cannot also retire and leave the football club without also having someone else to take the responsibility of also being the manager of the football club. He will also not be happy to pursue retirement without having one. He must make sure first that despite his departure there will also be no problem with a new manager also being a good replacement. He cannot also just retire and depart.

Ferguson, in addition, said: “Over the years I’ve had the question who do I think could replace me? Now in those years, some of the coaches they were talking about to replace me don’t have jobs anymore. So it becomes very difficult because someone who I think has potential may be sacked by his club and disappear. I think you would need someone very experienced in the long term.”

Capello Included Youngsters in England Squad

maryann — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 06:16:20 +0000

Reports revealed that Fabio Capello decided to also include youngsters in his England national football team. The boss had Phil Jones, Tom Cleverley and even Chris Smalling in his squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers. For him, they will also do well in the upcoming games.

Capello said: “I’m really happy with Sir Alex’s decision to put six young English players in his squad; they are winning and this is really important to improve – they are playing really, really well. Some of them are really interesting; Smalling played 10 or 15 games for United last season but is now playing with more confidence in a new position. Jones is interesting too. They are playing for a really important team who needs to win every game and teams they play against want to beat Manchester United every game. The pressure when you play for a big team is bigger than playing for a smaller team.”

For Capello, the youngsters will also be helpful to his England national football team. For the boss, the footballers will also deliver in the Euro 2012 qualifiers. For him, they will also help the squad in the forthcoming games. But, everyone must also be there for them. Everybody must also give them the support that they will need to also make it in the said games. With great support, they will be good and the team will also be. They will also not disappoint.

Capello said: “Against Bulgaria I hope we will play a good game and win so we go to Montenegro in the last game with more points than them. This will be a very important game. I hope in the derby with Wales we find the same effect we had in Cardiff, and I want to see a respect between the two teams.”

Schmeichel Satisfied With Manchester United’s Transfer Activity

maryann — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 08:49:09 +0000

It was confirmed by the reports that for Peter Schmeichel Manchester United has been doing well in the transfer market. And for the former footballer, because of how the football club has been doing with own transfer activity which has been also really good, most likely, it will become a bigger and better football club. It has been only showing it has only been serious when it comes to becoming more successful in general.

Schmeichel said: “The thing with Edwin leaving and Scholesy (Paul Scholes) and even (Gary) Neville leaving last year, I think this is the right time to invest a lot of money and just show everyone, all our competitors, that we have money. We’re powerful if we want to be powerful.”

Schmeichel must be satisfied with Manchester United’s activity in the transfer market. For him, the football club has been doing well with own transfer activity and therefore has been also serious on becoming a bigger and better football club. It must be true that it has been only showing it has been also wishing to really become more successful in general. And other supporters of the football club must be also contented with the football club’s activity in the transfer market. For them, the football club has been doing well with own transfer activity and just also showing that it has been yearning to also become the football club to really look up to. But everyone can just see if by doing well with own transfer activity it will really become one. It may happen, but may also not.

Schmeichel said: “We won the championship and now we are going to spend so much money because we want to retain that and obviously have as much success as we had in the Champions League as we did last year and I think the new signings are exciting.”

Manchester United Ready for Departure of Ferguson

maryann — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 07:03:36 +0000

It was said that David Gill revealed recently that Manchester United will be ready when Sir Alex Ferguson will need to depart. According to the reports, the football club will be prepared for any change that will happen when the boss will have to leave.

Gill said: “There won’t be a meltdown. It will clearly be a sea change for the club and we have to be ready. I will co-ordinate the process but clearly I will take great store in what he (Ferguson) says and what other key people at the club say. The owners will clearly have a view. All these things will come together. It would be a collective body, not a big body, but we would get all the input to make sure we make the appropriate choice. We never discuss it (Ferguson’s retirement), put it that way. He delegates well and football keeps him young.”

Gill must have opted to talk about how good Manchester United will be when departure of the boss will happen also for the supporters. The football club also started getting ready for it when three years ago some reports also revealed about his plan to leave within the next few years and supporters also need to know about it. And the football club has been also preparing for all criticisms about ownership of Glazer family. Also, supporters need to know about it. He also talked about the football club just not really minding them. For him, they will be there and the football club will try not to pay attention to them.

Gill said: “We are never going to win (over) those people. If we won four European Cups in a row, there will be certain people who won’t like the owners and what they stand for. The anti-people were here before the Glazers.”

Sneijder Might Leave

maryann — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 07:35:03 +0000

Supporters of Wesley Sneijder had been worried with all the reports saying that their favorite can actually make an exit anytime soon. Well, most of them had been anxious for it had not been actually confirmed by the footballer himself if he will be really doing so. But recently, their bet just made it clear that he can actually make a departure maybe in the next days, weeks or months. Their favorite admitted that he has been thinking about it for some time and might just go for it but will be very thankful to the Inter fans for also treating him properly despite the decision to.

Sneijder said: “The Inter fans have always treated me very well. They were wonderful and I want to simply thank them. Then, only God will decide where my future lies. I can be certain of one thing: if I remain at Inter, then I will give my all to win everything again.”

But of course, supporters of Sneijder can’t help it but just continue worrying as their favorite can’t still say then if he will be really making an exit soon. Yes, he has only confirmed that it is something possible. Indeed, he can make a departure in the next days, weeks or months. Well, according to the footballer, he can’t deny that he has been also considering it, something also worth doing, but if will be going for it for sure will also be unhappy to.

Sneijder said: “When you have had the greatest and most surprising year of your life, it’s only natural that the next will be less rewarding. Not everything can be perfect. Having said that, I had fun in my second year with Inter and was satisfied, even if we didn’t win everything. At least this way we still have a few more objectives to reach.”

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.

maryann — Mon, 09 May 2011 05:41:09 +0000

It was said that supporters of the football club also believe that it is. For them, it should have it this year.

Ferguson said: “It’s fantastic to be the most successful team in the country. The minute we won that first title in 1992 the door opened and we’ve been involved in the first two all throughout that period. It’s a fantastic achievement. For the last 17 or 18 years, it’s been Arsenal and Chelsea as our nearest challengers and the last few years it’s been Chelsea. Arsenal made a great attempt this year, but them losing today has finalised it. We deserve the title and hopefully we’ll get that point now.”

And supporters of Ferguson and of that of his football club were said to be all glad to know that even the boss of the other acknowledged how Manchester United did in the recent match, and even all past matches, and for him should just win the title this year. Chelsea has been actually one of the rivals really hard to beat in England’s primary football competition.

Ancelotti said: “Manchester United played better than us and deserved to win and deserved to win the title this year. Manchester United has a possibility now to take a point that they need to win the title. We have another two games and we want to finish the season well.”
