SNEIJDER CAN NOT REPLACE PAUL SCHOLES.

Alex Ferguson says that the Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder is not the ideal replacement for the now retired Paul Scholes.
Even through the tranfer window a great deal was talked about Sneijder joining Manchester United.And it was the weekly salary that kept Ferguson from signing him.
But now tat a new season has started Ferguson has said to the Daily Mirror that Wesley sneijder is not the replacement for Paul Scholes. The only players fitting the post are the two great Barcelona players Xavi Hernandez and Andrea Inesita.

CHRISTIANO RONALDO WANTS TO PULL BARCELONA DOWN.

Christiano Ronaldo says that he is sure Real Madrid will bring Barcelona down from the perch next year at any cost.He can dream on , nothing wrong in dreaming though.
But he has forgotten a few things such as if these two players do join Barcelona next year Alexis Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas , then you can be sure there will be no way of stopping Barcelona next year.They have a replacement for Xavi as well for the future.

SHEIKH UP AT CITY.

There is going to be a Sheikh up at Manchester City in June. With big ambitious plans and a fat cheque book ready.It is reported that their star striker Carlos Tevez would leave a,and move to Inter Milan in Italy.The other targets are Kaka, , they had offered 91 million pounds for him in 2009.But now kaka is injured and out of favor at Real Madrid.He will be availabe for 30 million pounds.

They want the two Barcelona players Lionel Messi for 100 million pounds and Andrea Iniesta for 50 Million pounds.. This will not work out as Messi said he will only play for Barcelona.And Xavi should come with Iniesta. This is just dreaming.

They also want Wayne Rooney for 70 million pounds. But Rooney has said he will never play for Manchester City.

Yes these players could all get over 200,000 pounds a week as salary. And with U.E.F.A play fair coming into force. They may fail to qualify for the champion league. The rule says sell players and buy players with that money only. Not the Sheikhs billions.

The 2010 BALLON D NOMINEES.

The 2010 nominees were, Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandes and Andrea Ineista.

BOTH THE SPANISH GIANTS WANT FABREGAS.

Both the Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona want the Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas , in this January transfer window. Mourinho has made Fabregas his main target , and has said Real Madrid will offer 35 million pounds for the Arsenal play maker. While Fabregas who came from the Barcelona youth team have said that the Jersey number 4 which Jose Guardiolla wore during his time at Barcelona will be kept ready for Fabregas. Last summer to Barcelona wanted him, but it fell on deff years, Arsene Wenger flatly told Barcelona that Fabregas has a contract till 2015.

But the big question where will Fabregas play at Barcelona ? With players like Xavi, Iniesta there.

FABREGAS IS IN A HURRY TO JOIN BARCELONA.

Cesc Fabregas the Spanish and arsenal footballer is wanting to go back to his own country and childhood club Barcelona, this is but natural. but Fabregas must also remember a few things he should learn from Arsene Wenger who never breaks a contract. And Fabregas has about five years on his contract at Arsenal.

My advice to fabregas is to wait a few more years, because with xavi, Busquets, keita, and Iniesta he will be on the bench all the time.He will be bound to get frustrated then.And as Barcelona are in some financial problems as well, after two years they can pay the price Arsenal asks and Xavi wil be 33 years old then.Fabregas can then fill up the place. As we saw the 2010 world cup fabregas was on the bench only.But he is captain at Arsenal.

REAL MADRID ARE LOOKING FOR CHANGES ALREADY.

Real Madrid are already looking for a new manager for the next season, as they have gone another year without a trophy.
Just changing coaches each year and spending 250 million pounds on players will not get you trophies Mr Florentina Perez,. It has been ages since a player of class has come from their youth team the last ones I can remember are Raul and Gutti. Look at Barcelona how many are there in the team, Pedro , messi, gerrard Pique, Valdez, Xavi , Andrea Inesta,. And dont forget Cesc Fabregas at Arsenal, they were spotted early as unpolished gems and now they are polished gems.
Another thing is that the fans always support Barcelona players not like Real Madrid their fans are always ready to wave white scarves and call for the managers head. Just changing Peligrenni want do, as he is a good coach.We saw what he did at Vilarreal., please give him at least two years to get it right.

ARSENAL OUT OF THE CAGE.

In the first leg of the quarter final game between Arsenal and Barcelona was eagerly awaited at the Emirate stadium. As both teams have a similar style of keeping the ball and making crisp passes, both even make 39 passes to score the goal, it is a joy to watch.But that day arsenal were out played, outclassed and even outfoxed by the mighty Spanish giants.Barcelonas striker Zalatan Ibrahimovic scored early in the second half in the 46th minute and 59th minute.It was Xavi and Messiwho gave arsenal a great deal of worry with their passes, Ineista was injured for this match.
Arsenal then had trouble as William Gallas was carried off and Anrey Arshavin limped out in the 38th minute , both had calf problem. Wenger through his trump and got on Theo Walcott got a good goal back in the 69th minute and the equlizer was scored by penalty as Fabregas was brought down by Carles Puyol, who got a straight redcard, Fabregas scored the penalty with a broken leg in 86th minute. This just shows this youngsters class a desire for the game and team.As fabregas got a second yellow card he misses the second leg , so doer Carles Puyol and Gerrard Pique.
