This year, Chelsea has placed itself on the second top position in the leaderboard of the premier league. It has played ten matches this season and scored 23 points, perhaps it is not wrong to say that it is flying through the sky at the moment, so it doesn’t mind missing its costly players, coz it is already winning. One such player is Marko Marin who joined Chelsea last summer at a mounting £7 million, but he is so unlucky that he could not land on the field – not even for a second despite his five year’s contract span he signed with the Blues. Now, there is news developing that he could return back to his previous club Borussia for remaining active on international level. Since, he is on contract with Chelsea; Borussia will have to hire him on loan in coming transfer - doesn’t matter if he didn’t get a chance to play for Chelsea. Bundesliga coach Lucien Favre said on getting back his favorite winger, “A player like Marin could be a good fit for us. We will wait and see what happens … [Read more...]

Now Mark Clattenburg is Accused of Racial Comments to Chelsea’s Players
It’s not far behind when Terry’s case was disposed off by FA with hefty fine and suspension, and now, there another case has opened; this time against referee Mark Clattenburg who reportedly used some abusive racial words against two Chelsea’s players. The incident took place in the last match between Chelsea and Manchester United on Sunday which was won by Man United by 3-2. Chelsea’s teammates also said to have listened Clattenburg calling John Obi Mikel a 'monkey' and another player Juan Mata a ‘Spanish twat.’ The matter heats up immediate as the racial comments have become intolerable after some big abuse cases recently.

Hitzlsperger is Eyeing a Long Term Everton Deal
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...]
