Neymar has ever been an eye candy in football which is much more than just a name given to him, he is a next-generation star coming from the land of Pele. This youngster is a household name in Brazil; perhaps in entire world where soccer is taken with a great passion. Whenever we see him in any commercial or daily soap opera we recall our memories and start looking at his rainbow shots and how this tricky starlet used to flip the ball around him to deceive others. Until now, only Brazilians have seen him on the pitch coz he was associated with Brazilian club Santos ever since he started playing back in 2009, but now, rumors are that he can join a big club based in Europe and it would probably be either Manchester City or Spanish powerhouse Barcelona. Barcelona is most probably his place to live rest of career coz this club has a reputation of signing big talents right in their early age, and more importantly, a Messi’s buddy should never be anything less than Neymar. However, all the … [Read more...]
Manchester City chief executive wants to win five trophies in five years
Manchester City has been trying to show its optimistic approach towards future games ever since it fired its manager for not securing their EPL title. Roberto Mancini, who mentored the club for three and a half years, faced the heat after shadow performance in the FA Cup final and in the EPL where it ended with a long gap of eleven points from United. Current City chief executive Ferran Soriano, who took over from Garry Cook back in August 2012, is now in charge until City finds its new manager, and according to him, City would now prepare to win at least five trophies in next five years. This statement could look like a hyperbole especially looking club’s last run, but it could also be taken as a reviving turn of a club who was severely blamed for its low minded approach and lack of will to win in last few months. Soriano also hinted that City has no plans to follow their arch rival and appoint a manager that could serve them for more than two decades; perhaps he supports a maximum of … [Read more...]

After smashing several records on a club level in last one and half year, the world would now see the magic of Messi on an international level. Yes, the Barcelona starlet has been included into the Argentinian squad for upcoming world cup qualifiers.

Apart from Barcelona, Pablo Zabaleta, who plays for Manchester City, defender Fabricio Coloccini, who plays for Newcastle, Roma midfielder Erik Lamela, and Anderlecht’s Lucas Biglia are also in the list of probable.

Liverpool releases Andy Carroll to West Ham off a £15m transfer fee
An understanding has finally been made between West Ham and Liverpool for England’s striker Andy Carroll at a price of £15 million; this amount is much lower than the amount Liverpool paid for the striker back in January 2011. The price given then was £35m coz of player’s form where he scored as many as 31 goals in 81 appearances for Newcastle United, but unfortunately, he could not continue his decent form playing for Liverpool; hence it has to look around for a buyer of its surplus asset. Notably, Carroll has also been withdrawn from England national team for friendlies against Republic of Ireland and Brazil, though the reason told was his heel injury. Actually, he has also been loaned to The London side back in August 2012 when he scored seven goals in the season despite missing the whole December for his injury, and his form highly impressed West Ham bosses and they agreed to match the Liverpool’s asking price and secured a permanent deal for him. West Ham boss told about … [Read more...]
