Harry Redknapp tells Sky Sports reporter to F**k Off
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 30, 2010 | 1 Comment
Harry Redknapp loses his cool after a Sky Sports reporter labels him a “wheeler and dealer.”
I don’t know why Redknapp is getting so upset over. He is a wheeler and dealer and for him to get so offended by it is pretty pathetic in my view.
What do you make of it? Comments below please.

Premiership Top Four Race Could Be Most Exciting Ever
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 30, 2010 | No Comments
There is little doubt that this is the most open Premiership season to date, with more teams challenging for the title and more teams challenging for a top four finish than ever before.
It seems the Big Four’s dominance is no longer and a Big Six could be referred to from next season.
The Premiership Odds for this season have Man Utd and Chelsea as the main challengers for the title and that is of no surprise, they have won the last six Premiership titles between them.
With the experience, consistency and quality those two teams have it would be a surprise if any other team breaks their monopoly just yet.
Man City’s millions seem to be having an affect on their fortunes, they are single figure odds to win the Premiership but still only fourth favourites behind Arsenal, who have impressed the bookies with the start they have made to the season. Both teams look guaranteed to have a good season but with Arsenal’s over reliance on a couple of their players and Man City likely to need time to gel both sides could represent poor value to finish in the top four (both sides under 1/2 with most bookies).
If Man City and Arsenal offer poor value to finish in the top four then there must be a couple of sides that are overpriced. Spurs broke into the top four last season and seem a big price to do it again at a generous price of 11/4 with several bookies, it is generally considered amongst the bookies that Spurs and Liverpool will battle it out for fifth but Liverpool are expected to win that battle as they are just 2/1 to finish in the top four, and therefore more likely that Spurs. It has to be said, between the two it is actually the Londoners that look a better bet.

Tottenham make £19 million bid for England midfielder
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 29, 2010 | 27 Comments
Ashley Young’s name has popped up a lot in the BBC gossip column throughout the summer and finally this evening, it has been reported that Tottenham have made a bid for the Aston Villa and England winger.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is still keen to add to his squad before the transfer window shuts on Tuesday and Young is seen as a possible acquisition.
With Aston Villa already out of Europe and Tottenham now in the Champions League group stages, it is understood that Young, 25, would be interested in a move to White Hart Lane.
It is rumoured that Tottenham have bid somewhere in the region of £19 million but with Villa desperate to hold onto their best player (in my opinion anyway), it remains to be seen if a deal will go through or not.
It will be fascinating to see what happens over the next 43 hours or so with regards Young’s future. I personally believe Young would be a superb signing for Spurs and I would love to see Young playing Champions League football this season.

Liverpool close in on the signing of £11 million Premier League striker
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 29, 2010 | 12 Comments
According to reports this evening, Liverpool are closing in on the £11 million signing of West Ham striker Carlton Cole.
Roy Hodgson is desperate to add another striker to the books at Anfield before the transfer window shuts on Tuesday and it has been confirmed that Liverpool have opened talks with West Ham.
Cole, 26, is considered by many as an ideal strike partner for Fernando Torres and with the England international understood to be interested in a switch to Merseyside, the move looks inevitable.
Following the departure of Javier Mascherano to Barcelona and the subsequent arrivals of Raul Meireles and Paul Konchesky, Hodgson had this to say after today’s 1-0 victory over West Brom: “We’ve got space to add a player. We’d like another striker, we’ve said that all along and there’s no point me denying it.”
There is no doubt that on his day, Cole is one of the best strikers in the Premier League. However, at the rumoured £11 million, I’m not too sure whether this move represents value for money for Liverpool. I would be surprised if the deal didn’t go ahead before the window shuts on Tuesday.

Are Tottenham about to get their hands on this Serie A striker?
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 27, 2010 | 5 Comments
Not a transfer window goes by without Klaas Jan Huntelaar being linked with a move to Tottenham.
It has been suggested this morning that Spurs are in talks with Huntelaar’s employers, AC Milan, with a view to signing the Dutch striker on a season-long loan deal.
Huntelaar, 27, has struggled to make much of an impact since joining Milan in the summer of 2009 and he is understood to be keen on a move away from the Italian giants.
During his days at Ajax, Huntelaar was considered by many as one of Europe’s best. However, things haven’t really gone to plan for the man nicknamed ‘The Hunter’ since his big money move to Real Madrid back in January of 2009.
A move to White Hart Lane now seems a real possibility with ‘The Mirror’ claiming that the deal may include an option for Spurs to make the move permanent for a fee of £12 million.
I have always wanted to see Huntelaar play in the Premier League and hopefully this deal will go through before the transfer window shuts next week. I personally believe he would prove a huge success in England and sure if it doesn’t work out, Spurs can always just send him back.

Liverpool finally agree deal with Barcelona for £18 million midfielder
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 27, 2010 | 11 Comments
After weeks and weeks of speculation regarding Javier Mascherano’s future, it would seem that Liverpool have finally agreed a deal to sell the midfielder to Spanish giants Barcelona.
The Argentine has been strongly linked with a move away from Anfield ever since he admitted that he would be interested in a summer move away from Merseyside.
Inter Milan were the early favourites to sign Mascherano. However, it was reported earlier this week that Barca were in negotiations to sign the 26-year old and after a number of days of increased speculation, it has been confirmed this morning that the two clubs have come to an agreement.
The fee is understood to be around the £18 million mark and Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson will no doubt be keen to add another midfielder to his squad before the transfer window shuts next Tuesday.
A lot has been said about Mascherano in recent days and weeks but no matter what you think of the guy, you can’t deny he is a quality player. It will be interesting to see if he gets much of a game at the Camp Nou considering the fact Pep Guardiola already has a number of world class midfielders to chose from.

Liverpool want Real Madrid midfielder to replace Mascherano
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 25, 2010 | 5 Comments
Liverpool are reportedly in talks with Real Madrid to sign midfielder Mahamadou Diarra as the Merseyside club prepare for life without Javier Mascherano.
Roy Hodgson is willing to let Mascherano join Barcelona if the Spanish giants meet Liverpool’s £19 million asking price.
With Mascherano likely to leave Anfield in the coming days, Hodgson is already looking for possible replacements. Dozens of names have been linked with a move to Liverpool this summer but with Real looking to offload a number of midfielders, Diarra is now seen as a likely acquisition.
The 29-year old is desperate to leave the Bernabeu before the transfer window shuts following the arrival of Mesut Ozil at the club. It is understood that Liverpool would have to cough up somewhere near the £5 million mark if they are to get their hands on the Malian international.
I personally believe Diarra would be a superb signing for Liverpool. He is a very similar player to Mascherano in that he rarely ever gets on the scoresheet but he has a terrific range of passing and at the rumoured £5 million, I think he would prove excellent value for money.

Inter Milan make £15 million bid for Liverpool ace
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 22, 2010 | 24 Comments
After weeks of speculation surrounding the future of the Liverpool striker, it has been reported today that Inter Milan have made a £15 million bid for Dirk Kuyt.
Former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is desperate to bring the Dutch international to the San Siro before the transfer window shuts at the end of the month.
Kuyt, 30, seems to be interested in a possible move to the Italian giants, calling it a “luxury situation” for himself to be in right now.
Roy Hodgson knows he needs to sell if he is to bring anyone else to Anfield this summer and with a £15 million bid now on the table from Inter, I for one reckon Kuyt will be leaving Merseyside in the coming days.
If Kuyt does leave, who do you think Liverpool should spend the £15 million on? Comments below please.

Put everything you have on Wigan to be relegated.
They have played just two games this season but already, Roberto Martinez’s Wigan look doomed.
The 6-0 defeat to Chelsea was to be expected after they were humiliated by Premier League new boys Blackpool on the opening day of the season.
Wigan have a few decent players in the form of James McCarthy and Victor Moses but with Charles N’Zogbia desperate to leave the DW Stadium, I for one believe they lack the quality to survive this season.
It really doesn’t get any easier for Wigan as they travel to Tottenham next weekend and I for one reckon they will be destroyed once again and their odds of 5/6 to be relegated, will be slashed by the bookies.
What do you think? Comments below please.

Manchester City striker not interested in £22 million move to Real Madrid
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 22, 2010 | 2 Comments
Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor is not interested in joining Real Madrid and has expressed his desire to fight for his place in Roberto Mancini’s starting line-up.
The former Arsenal man was left out of City’s starting eleven for the trip to Tottenham last week. However, Adebayor, who has been linked with a £20 million move to Real Madrid, insists he is happy at Eastlands.
“As a footballer you have lots of difficult times and being sat on the bench for the first game of the season was tough for me. said Adebayor. “I was a little bit upset. I want to play football but we have a lot of talented players at this club. You have to fight for your place. I am very happy to be part of this club. I know there are a lot of things being said that I will be leaving.”
“I am not going anywhere. There’s no pressure for me to leave. Even if I went to somewhere like Real Madrid I would be in the same situation as here with many talented players, having to fight for my place with players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka. I’m here and want to make my own history with City.”
With Mario Balotelli now at the club, I can’t see Adebayor being a regular part of Mancini’s starting eleven this season. There is no doubting Adebayor’s ability but with Carlos Tevez, Balotelli, Robinho and a number of other strikers on the books at City, it is hard to see the 26-year old getting much time on the pitch.
