JORGE MENDES SPILLS THE BEANS ON THE CRISTIANO RONALDO TRANSFR TO MANCHESTER UNITED.

Jorge Mendes should know everything in detail whatever happened during the Cristiano Ronaldo transfer to Manchester United. And he should know it well as he is the agent of Cristiano Ronaldo He says that it was not only Arsenal and Manchester United who were in the race to sign the young 18 eighteen year old Cristiano Ronaldo, there was a third club involved and that was Liverpool. Now much earlier Arsenal and Arsene Wenger were in talks of signing up Cristiano Ronaldo, in fact he visited Arsenal three times with his mother., all parties were happy only the signature was missing of Cristiano Ronaldo. But earlier to that Manchester United played a friendly match in Portugal in the new stadium of Sporting Lisbon. And during that match Cristiano Ronaldo was bossing the Manchester united team from all sides as well. The Manchester United players demanded that Sir Alex Ferguson buy Cristiano Ronaldo. But why did Cristiano Ronaldo sign up with Manchester United? Jorge Mendes said that both Arsenal and Liverpool wanted to buy Cristiano Ronaldo, but these two clubs wanted to buy him and give him to Sporting Lisbon for another year, but you must remember that in this case Sporting Lisbon would have to continue to pay Cristiano Ronaldo his salary. And as they had gone and spent vey big money on building their new stadium they wanted the money naturally. Manchester United were the only club that wanted to buy him then and there. The rest is history. But just a thought let your imagination run wild here. 1) What would Arsenal have been like with strikers like Thierry Henry, Kanu, Denis Bergkamp? 2) What would Liverpool have ben like with Michael Owen, Milan Barros, Emile Heskey and Cristiano Ronaldo?

LIVERPOOL GOT EMILE HESKEY AND ARSENAL GOT THIERRY HENRY FOR ELEVEN MILLION POUNDS EACH.

In the 1990s Liverpool spent a small sum of 11, eleven million pounds on a striker called Emile Heskey. And at that time Arsenal got Thierry Henry from Juventus for a small sum of 11, eleven million pounds. But those who follow football closely will know Thierry Henry was far better by miles I would say. The Arsenal manager Arsene wenger, who was the former manager of the French club Monaco, new Thierry Henry very well, as Thierry Henry started is career at Monaco. Thierry Henry was sold to the Italian giants Juventus, but he had a terrible time at Juventus ,as he was always on the bench and not starting games in Italy. But Arsene Wenger brought him for 11, eleven million pounds, peanuts I would say. Thierry Henry was bought to replace Ian wright who was aging. Arsene Wenger changed Thierry Henry from a fast winger to a fast striker, and the rest s history. He is Arsenal's top goal scorer with 176 goals. But this is what Thierry Henry said to Ian Wright, ( I m afraid I will be a failure at Arsenal, as I may not score enough goals) But Ian wright calmed him and said just enjoy yourself on the pitch ,and let your legs do the talking here. And oh my he really did let those fat legs do all the talking. Emile Heskey even after having Michael Owen as a strike partner, he did not flourish at Liverpool.

LET US LOOK AT FOOTBALLERS TO PLAY FIVE HUNDRED GAMES.

1) Ryan Giggs. 632. Games. 2)Frank Lampard. 604. Games. 3) David James. 572. Games. 4)Gareth Barry. 557. Games. 5) Gary speed. 535. Games. 6)Emile Heskey. 516. Games. 7) Mark Schwarzer. 514. Games. 8)Jamie Carragher. 508. Games. 9)Philip Neville. 505. Games. 10) Rio Ferdinand. 504. Games. 11) Steven Gerrard. 500. Games.

NOW LETS LOOK AT GERMANY BEEING HUMILATED.

It was in 1/9/2001 in a world cup qualifier between England and oh yes Germany two footballing giants in their own right. The Germans were humilated England won 5-1. Michael Owen scored a hat trick, while Steven Gerrard scored a streamer from thirty yards. And final;y Emile Heskey added the fifth goal. All are talking and mocking Brazil with their 7-1 loss to Germany . This is a game and only one ciuntry can win that world cup. This game has gone from the memory of football fans. People sure have short memories, all countries and clubs do pass through bad times as well as good times.

PLAYERS TO PLAY 500 GAMES IN THE E.P.L..

Even though there have been many good footballers to play in the E.P.L over the years, only five footballers have played over five hundred games in the E.P.L. 1) Ryan Giggs. 2) Gary Speed. 3) David James . 4) Emile Heskey. 5) Philip Neville.

RODGERS TO SIGN FREE AGENT.

Brendon Rodgers is really desperate the reason Liverpool are down at the bottom of the table . And to make matters worse he has given Andy Carroll on a years loan to West Ham United. And he has failed to get a replacement for him by the last day. He was sure of getting Clint Dempsey, but the American joined another club. The choice is bid tough one to choose from as these strikers are well passed their glory days. 1) Michael Owen. 32 years. 2) Alessandro Del Piero. 37 years. 3) Emile Heskey. 34 years. They could all be injury prone players as well at this age.

THIS WAS CAPELLOS BIG MISTAKE.

I strongly feel that the mistake with Fabio Capello and the selection of the english team was that he left out striker Darren Bent from the English team. As Darren Bent was in very good form and scored over 20 goals last season, he would have done the trick for England. He is a poacher as well.So the odd goal would be got by him. And Darren Bent scored more goals then Emile Heskey last year. Heskey is also 31 years old.
