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

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

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.

Blues Let Eto’o Go Too Soon – Why Chelsea Should Have Kept Hold Of Cameroon Striker

by

The Blues’ search for a striker to complement Diego Costa is slowly grinding to a halt as they look set to stick with Demba Ba and Fernando Torres. Both are decent options, as Chelsea need to have depth to compete on all fronts. Both have also shown themselves to be consistent goalscorers, it hasn’t really happened for them at Chelsea. They have chipped in with some key goals, but nothing substantial to warrant a stay ahead of someone like Samuel Eto’o.

Portugal is always a fantastic place to pick up young and exciting talent. James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao are two examples. Although they are not homegrown, the league knows how to find great players and that is a credit to the clubs. Recent disappointment in the World Cup for the country led to one of their stars slating his team-mates and claiming they are not good enough. However, they could be set to enter a golden period of young stars coming through, with William Carvalho leading the way.

THREE Alternatives To Barcelona Star Who Arsenal Could Sign

Luis Suarez has been in the media so much in recent weeks. Firstly there were worrying concerns that he would not make the World Cup, but then he tore apart England and helped Uruguay on their way to qualifying. Things took a turn for the worse, however, when he decided to sink his teeth in Giorgio Chiellini, earning himself a huge ban. In the past couple of days, his mood may well have picked up with all the rumours of him joining Barcelona. A player that has featured in these rumours with him is Alexis Sanchez.

THREE Players Who Manchester United Could Sign Instead Of Arsenal Captain

by

Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for a central defender all summer now, but there hasn’t been any movement just yet. It appears as though United are chasing a relatively cheap replacement for Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand. They have looked at two quite different types of footballers. Stefan de Vrij is very much a young, up-and-coming centre-back with a lot of potential. Thomas Vermaelen, on the other hand, is an experienced Premier League defender with not too many years left at the top. Therefore, it is hard to pinpoint what type of defender the Red Devils want.
