Thomas Hitzlsperger, a 30 years old German midfielder, has confirmed and emphasized on his desire to play for Everton for a long term. Perhaps, he is trying hard to convince both: David Moyes and Everton fans that he can serve the club for a long term. For the time being, he has signed a short term deal with Everton that will ensure his stay at Goodison Park until January 2013. Notably, he has been associated with Bundesliga in the past and just released by them in last summer when he signed a new short term deal with Everton. He made few statements that hint about his future plans where he primarily targeted a short term deal at the moment, and then he would probably run after a long term deal - with Everton for sure. Perhaps, he is quite happy to return to a premier league side after being downgraded by West Ham United Football Club in 2010-11. He stated on Club’s website as, “I think I am suited to the Premier League. It was my decision to come back after the previous season in … [Read more...]

Roberto Di Matteo has taken another brave move by retaining John Terry as captain of Chelsea though after a hefty fine. The man in blue will again wear captain’s armband and enter in the field with full confidence as he had always been doing.

Though, he apologized immediately but FA was in no mood to spare his brave effort to criticize soccer’s biggest governing body. Besides, FA has also defined a set of guidelines to be used by every footballer, official, club, or nation using a social media to express its views. In the latest case, Ashley Cole has been fined with €110,000 (£90,000 or $145,000) for his abusive tweets.
