Month: January 2013

Real Madrid have endured a tough season in La Liga so far but following their 5-0 thrashing over Valencia at the weekend, it appears that their fortunes are starting to favour them once again.

Swansea have shown how beneficial it can be to do their shopping in La Liga, staying away from Barcelona and Real Madrid, you can grab some bargains. Here are some players that I feel would benefit any Premier League side.

It finally looks like the Wilfred Zaha saga is over, after months of speculation and rumours it appears that only one club were really that interested. Manchester United are said to have agreed a deal with Crystal Palace in the region of £15,000,000 – Shocking I know. Whoever values our young English talent nees to take a good look at themselves, a good look.

Tottenham, are in desperate need of a striker, not least to ease the goalscoring load that Jermain Defoe is currently holding. With Adebayor off at the African Cup of nations, Spurs have just one recognised out and out striker in their squad. With just over a week remaining of the transfer window, I’m sure Andre Villas-Boas will be on the look out for a quick deal that could have a major say on their season.

Brendan Rodgers has shown he’s learnt from the mistakes of the summer transfer window, and within days of the new year, the Northern Irishman signed a new striker to the club. Liverpool may be the biggest club in the world according to the new number 15, but Daniel Sturridge has a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has admitted he is looking for a new striker this January

Ah the return of international tournament football can only mean one thing – matches in the mid afternoon, much like the European Championship or the World. Except the African Cup of Nations is, unsurprisingly, held in Africa.
