RIO FERDINAND SAYS IT WAS CLUB RIVALRY THAT KILLED THE ENGLISH GOLDEN BOYS.

Rio Ferdinand has admitted that it was the club rivalry that finally killed of the English golden boys of football. England on paper were a very strong team with strikers Wayne Rooney, Joe Cole, midfielders like frank Lampard ,Paul Scholes, Steven Gerrard and with defenders like Ashley Cole, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand Marin Keown and goalkeepers like David James and David seamen. Rio Ferdinand says he could never be free to talk with the Liverpool players in the England dressing room. And this really killed the Golden boys of English football. This also happened with Spain in the years gone by, Spain were called the CHOKERS as they would lie England get knocked out in the quarter finals. The reason being that half the Spanish club were from Real Madrid, and the other half were from Barcelona , and the Spanish team never ever did see eyeball to eyeball. But now Spain have payers from Villarreal,Athletic Madrid and Athletic Bilbao even.

WEST HAM UNITED ARE THE MOST EEXCITING CLUB THIS SEASON..

This season West Ham United are the most exciting club to watch in the E.p.L with a new manager Slavic Bilic , who took over from Big Sam Allardyce . They have now got a reputation as giant killers in the E.P.L. This club always a middle table club each year or even getting relegated once. They were a real David and Goliath team, they have beaten Arsenal, Liverpool and recently mighty Manchester City as well. I tell you the last time West Ham United was so good to watch were when West Ham United had players like Joe Cole, Frank Lampard, Freddy Kanoute, jermaine Defoe, Trevor sinclair, Paulo Di Canio in the1990s. I am waiting to watch West Ham United till May and see if they qualify for Europe.

THE FADING CLASS OF 1990 ENGLISH FOOTBALLERS.

The truth is that the talented footballers who made their debut in the 1990s are fading far to fast for my liking anyway. 1) Steven Gerrard. 2) Frank Lampard. 3) Joe Cole. 4) Rio Ferdinand. 5) Wes Brown. 6) Michael Carrick. 7) Richard Dunne. 8) Gareth Barry. 9) Matthew Upson. 10. Shay Givens. 11) Mark. Schawzer. 12) John Terry.

LIVERPOOL WILL BE FORCED TO PAY 30 MILLION POUNDS

Liverpool will be forced to pay 30 million pounds as wages to their players. For example it will be same as when the two Americans Mr Hicks and Mr Gillet were there.
Between Milan Jankovic and Joe Cole it comes to 12 million pounds.Jankovic gets half a million pounds a week, and Joe Cole gets 110,000 pounds a week, besides this they are paying 600,000 pounds on other deadwood.And these two players salary is so high no club wants to buy them.Aqulani was brought for20 million pounds, he is not able to be sold to Juventus due to the high weekly salary. Paul Konchesky was given in loan to Nottingham Forest. Paulsen was also costly and played few games.Philipp Degan was on loan with Stuttgart and has returned now , so will the Morocon Nabal El Zhar.

LIVERPOOL FANS HAVE A SHORT MEMORY.

The Liverpool fans were taunting Torres that he left the best club to join a ordinary club. But Chelsea are in the champion league yearly, it does not look possible Liverpool will make it this year.The Liverpool fans have completely forgotten that they got Joe Cole from Chelsea free , and then Joe Cole was not a traitor.But compare what Joe Cole did at Chelsea and what he has done at Liverpool. The answer is nothing, Joe Cole can not even make it to the team now.But you can be sure Torres will play more games then Cole.

While in the match between Liverpool verses Chelsea, both Fernando Torres and David Luis played.Andy Carrol cost 35 million pounds and Luis Suarez 23 million pound, they just warmed the bench.

WHY ARE THERE ONLY 21% ENGLISH PLAYERS IN THE E.P.L.

This year the players chosen by clubs in the E.P.L is a huge 79 percent, and so as the players are not coming from the youth team any more, the managers have to see other clubs. The other point is that the English players are costlier, for example James Milner, Scott Parker and Joe Cole. All are very costly Joe Cole wants a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds a week. but will he deliver? Because he never has been the same after his injury. Arsene Wenger prefers to get young players from France, and then develop them at Arsenal. But those he spent on have not done as expected. Like Jermaine Pennant, Theo Walcott. He paid a lot for them , another player who failed was Francis Jeffers. So England will face problems for the world cups.

WILLJOE COLE BE MISED BY ARSENAL?

Now that Liverpool have Joe Cole , on a 90,000 pound a week salary, Arsenal had a oral agreement with Cole for 80,000 pound a week.It was to be settled at Arsenal after the world cup aswell as a complete medical check up, on his knee as well. It is not secret that Joe Cole has never been the player he was three years ago. after the knee peration las year he started in 14 games and scored two goals. But over the years we have seen players who have never been the same after under going a operation. Take Michael Owen, Fernando Torres, Harry Kewell and Robin Van Persie. anotherthing Joe was 28 years old Arsenal are all youngsters.
Another thing where would Wenger play him, with Arshavin, Denilson, Song Rosicky, and walcott all there. And Jack Wilshere waiting to enter the main team. He was wanted for the homegrown player rule mainly.
I personally do not think Cole joined Liverpool for the money, he joined because he knew he will get a starting at Liverpol, with both Reira and Yoosiy Benayoun gone. And he knew very well in his heart that like me he would not pass the medical check up .

WHO WILL FOLLOW MANCHESTER UNITED ?

Now that Manchester United are really in a mess of 700 million pound debt, there many other clubs in the same group such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Real Madrid and may be Manchester City.
The funny thing is these clubs do not want to stop buying, they should do what arsenal do, sell a few players and then buy players.Liverpool is imn debt but it wants to spend 25 million pounds on a striker called Marone Chamakh., Real Madrid want to tempt Manchester by offering 70 million pounds for Wayne Rooney and 35 million for Cesc Fabregas. Real Madrid debt could well reach 800 million pounds. Costly players also have costly weekly salary. wayne Rooney wants 140,000 pounds a week from Manchester United, which he may not get. Joe Cole of Chelsea wants 120,000 pounds a week in his new contract, but Chelsea are not keen to give that much. Liverpool, Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid are watching like hawks to buy him.
Is this sensible during recession times.Only Arsene wenger is sensible, even when all strikers were injured he did not splash money in the January transfer window.
