Red Devils Linked With Janmaat – Why The Dutch Defender Would Be A Good Option For Manchester United

by

Manchester United have already been very active this summer and have secured the signings of Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera. United’s defence was of their main criticisms last season. Injuries didn’t help, but the form wasn’t great from their backline. Rafael and Patrice Evra could be exempt from that, however, although they went through some dodgy patches. Despite this, their defence has actually gotten weaker with Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand both leaving the club. Alexander Buttner has also left the club and Evra’s future looks in doubt.

Gunners Eye Three Players – Why Triple Deal Would Show Huge Intent From Arsenal

by

Arsenal have not yet made a signing for the first team and Arsene Wenger has been criticised for this, especially as most of their rivals have already secured some big money-players. Manchester United have bought Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera. Chelsea has secured Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa. Liverpool have been very busy and signed Adam Lallana, Emre Can and Rickie Lambert, while Manchester City have bought Fernando from FC Porto and picked up Bacary Sagna who was a free agent. They have all spent on key positions which need improving, but now it is time for the Gunners to show that they mean business.

New Boss Set To Bring New Tactics – How Van Gaal’s 3-4-3 Formation Could Work At Manchester United

by

During the 2014 World Cup, Louis van Gaal has been using a formation of 3-4-3, which has seemingly worked as the Netherlands have now progressed into the semi-finals. There are reports saying that the Dutch manager will transfer that formation over to Manchester United. Although it has worked for his national side, will it have the same effect on United?

THREE Centre-Backs Who Could Replace David Luiz For Chelsea

by

Chelsea are a team who have been left with a sour taste in their mouth after the 2013/14 season ended trophyless for them, despite the return of ‘The Special One’. Jose Mourinho is now more determined than ever to win a trophy and he is eyeing the big one: the Premier League title. So far the Portuguese manager has made some big steps in his pursuit of Premier League glory next season, as he has bought Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas. These are two great signings who will vastly improve Chelsea’s attack. However, the club have also sold David Luiz, weakening their defence.

Red Devils Must Handle Defender’s Future Carefully – Why Manchester United Should Not Be So Hasty In Selling Patrice Evra

by

When you buy a new young player ro replace an old star, there is a tendency to just discard the older player as you want to give the new star more chance to play every week. However, the ageing stars still have a lot to give any club and, for that reason, they should not be thrown onto the transfer list. The players themselves often also want to continue at the club as they feel they still have something to offer, but unfortunately it rarely happens.

Gunners Eye Schneiderlin – Why The Saints Man Is Exactly What Arsenal Need

by

To be a successful defensive midfielder you need a number of key attributes. Many think that it is easy playing in the position, but it is actually one of the hardest to master. It is a position that doesn’t require you to run a marathon every time you step foot on to a pitch, but you need a little bit of everything to be successful. It is not a position that just any midfielder can play in either. This is especially true for players who are used to attacking; it can create problems if they are told to defend more.

Gunners Linked With Alexis Sanchez – Why The Barcelona Star Could Make Arsenal One Of The Most Dangerous Teams In Europe

by

The thought of Arsenal being one of the most dangerous teams in Europe may bring laughter to all opposition fans due to the fact they aren’t even close at the moment. However, the Gunners have a team with a lot of potential and a huge summer ahead of them. Money is there to spend and Arsene Wenger looks like he will spend it. It is now all about buying the right players for the team.  While the side desperately need a new striker, holding midfielder, right-back, centre-back and goalkeeper, improving other areas could reduce the amount of money needed in those positions.

Di Maria Linked With Old Trafford Move – Why Real Madrid Star Would Be Perfect For Manchester United

by

Real Madrid are set for a huge summer of potential incomings and outgoings, with plenty of names that can be assigned to each list. Radamel Falcao, Toni Kroos and Luiz Gustavo are dominating the incomings, while Alvaro Morata, Angel Di Maria and Sami Khedira are dominating the outgoings. Whatever happens at Madrid, it is almost guaranteed that whoever they sell will be replaced with quality. Manchester United are hoping to do the same thing, as they have already bought Luke Shaw to replace Alexander Buttner, as well as Ander Herrera to help ease their midfield troubles.
