BOTH CHELSEA AND MANCHESTER UNITED WANT MORDIC.

Both the English clubs Chelsea and Manchester United want the Croatian play maker Luka Mordic. Chelsea want him to replace Frank Lampard and Manchester United want him to replace Paul Scholes who has retired from football at the end of the season.
Luka Mordic has a big desire to leave Totenham Hotspur and join Chelsea as they are willing to give him a better weekly salary then Manchester United.
But the hitch is that Harry Redknapp has clearly said he is not selling any of his major players this year, and will add new costly players to the club , with the idea of reaching the champion league next year and so Luka Mordic should be happy.

FERGUSON WANTS LUKA MORDIC.

Sir Alex Ferguson wants a replacement for his loyal midfielder Paul Sc holes , who is now 36 years and may retire soon.

The player Alex Ferguson wants to get to replace Paul Scholes is the Croatian midfielder Luka Mordic who plays his club football in England for Tottenham Hotspurs.Ferguson is willing to pay 35 million pounds for Mordic. But the big question is will Harry Redknapp sell him?

Paul Scholes is the only midfielder in the E.P.L. history to score two hat tricks ever.

WILL HODGSON SELL LIVERPOOL FLOP PLAYERS.

The big question now asked is Roy Hodgson going to sell any players ? It is quite wrong to blame Rafael Benitez for themess by the American owners of Liverpool. Yes he did buy bad players all do that but the bad ones were few like Jermaine Pennant, Robbie Keane, Lucas Levi. But you can not call Aqulani a failure.as he was injured for a long ime last year. But the good ones were more Dirk Kuyt, Jose Reina, Fernando Torres, Ryan Babel and yossi Benayoun.But all the good ones made it to the world cup teams.Robbie keane is a very good player but a lot was paid for him and no goals came.Another good player is Javier Mascherano, got by Benitez.Joe Cole is not going to do any wonders at Liverpool ,you can be sure he is a injury prone player to.Another player was Xavi Alonso who was sold to Real Madrid for 30 million pounds a Liverpool record.So it is very wrong to say that Rafael Benitez wasted the club money i five years and put the owners in debt. The truth is the two American Tom Hicks and george gillet borrowed heavily from two banks to buy Liverpool, and they did notsee the recession coming , naturally. Same story as the Glazers. But tdonotforget gerrard , Carragher are all in their 30 new youth players from their accademy must be found for both Liverpool and england.

SHEIKH MANSOOR HAS BIG PLANS.

Sheikh Mansoor the Arab owner from Dubai of the English football club Manchester City, wants to bring the Spaniard Rafael Benitez from Liverpool. He wants to tempt him with a better pay purse and a better transfer bag. In other words he wants to steal the Spaniard rigjht from the noses of the Italian Old Lady Juventus.
So the people who will be most nervous will be the Liverpool fans. Players like Fernando Torres and Gerrard may join Manchester City, as the club is in England.

ATHLETICO MADRID REJECT MANCHESTER UNITED TALKS.

Athletico Madrid have flatly rejected all talk with Manchester United for their goalkeeper , who is 19 years old.Infact David De Gea is also called Vander gea in Spain. it is mainly because he is lanky and very agile like the Dutch goalkeeper.

But the goalkeeper at Manchester United is now 40 years, and Ferguson has had many foreign goalkeepers at Manchester United,Peter SchMichael, Fabian Barthez .

LIVERPOOL VERSES MANCHESTER UNITED.

The match played on 25th /10/2009after a angry march at Anfield by the Liverpool fans against the two American club owners was well attended .Liverpool came to this game with four losses in four matches, and with Steven Gerrard and Torres injured.but in the bus Benitez decided that Torres would play even though he was only 80 percent fit, with the help of painkillershe played. While Berbatov partnered Rooney, sadly Berbatov this season has not played as if he was worth 30.70 million pounds.
For Liverpool both Lucas and Javier Maschareno did their job well along with Yossi Benayoun who kept feeding their forwards.
For Manchester both Carlos Tevez and Christiano Romaldo were greatly missed.The first goal came in the 65th minute by a beautiful pass by Benayoun to Torres, who out ran out played Rio Ferdinandand kicked the ball high into the top of the net. Ferdinand was not the same Rio of old a concern to Ferguson and Fabio Capello as well.The drama continued with Vidic getting his second yellow card and marching orders, so did Maschareno follow.Vidic has now been sent of in the past three games verses Liverpool and Maschareno his second game. Owen came on for Berbatov butcould not deliver the goal. The second goal wa scored in last minutes of the game with Lucas passing the ball for N Gog to score a calm goal.Pepe Reina ran all the way of the pitch to hug and jump on him, this just shows the preasre that was lifted from the players.

ALL GLOOM AND DOOM AT LIVERPOOL.F.C.

There is great gloom and doom at the famous Liverpool club. AS they have fallen by the wayside this year again, so it looks like they will have no E.P.L trophy for twenty years.But there is more serious worries beside injuries to Stephen Gerrard and Fernando Torres. This time it is financial problems, in a very big way to.The two American owners of Liverpool Mr George Gillette and Mr Tom Hicks, have been given till June 2010 to pay up their money taken on loan to buy Liverpool. The Royal Bank of Scotland and the Wells Fargo bank have told the two owners that they must generate funds quickly.
So George Gillette has sold 80%percent of his share in his ice hockey team he owns. And Liverpool have parted ways with their long time sponsoror Carlsberg Beer. And their new ones will be The Standard Chartered Bank which is realy a good one.
And even if this does not work Liverpool will be forced to sell players like Stephen Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Javier Mascherano and Dirk Kuyt.
To generate funds hopefully George Gillette flew to Saudi Arabia to meet with prince Faisal bin Abdullah.But nothing came out of it.

Liverpool and their loyal fans were in for a rude shock. The first goal came early in the match it was a goal scored by the El Nino, THE KID. Fernando Torres in the 6th minute of the match.
Then Chelsea responded by a little known player called Branislav Ivanovic. Ivanovic scored the first goal in the 39th minute of the match., he leaped high and his height helped him to leap and head the ball into the net. He then headed in the second goal in an identical fassion, in the 62nd minute to take avery precious lesad as well as a away goal for Chelsea. But Chelsea was not yet finished with Liverpool , Dider Drogba scored the third goal to put an icing on the cake for Hiddink.

OLD TRAFFORDS FORTRESS CRUMBLES.

This match between Manchester United and Liverpool , held on14/3/2009 , was a very eagerly awaited match. Liverpool had just knocked out the Spanish giants Real Madrid 4-0. in the champion league ,and Manchester had knocked out Inter Milan.
The match started as a cagy game and thje liverpool goalkeeper Jose Pepe Reina brought down Park and Christiano Ronaldo converted the penalty. Till this game in every game that Christiano Ronaldo scored , Manchester United have always won that match. But it was not to be that way at all.
The Serbian defender Nemjana Vidic made a mistake giving Fernando Torres a chance to skip past the big serb defender , who was considered by Alex Ferguson and the Trafford crowd as the most reliable player for his club.
Would Liverpool settle for a draw? It did not seem so , Gerrard, Kuyt and Tores gave a tough time to the Manchester defence.Then near the half time Steven Gerrard was briught down by Patrice Evra, it was a clean penalty as Evras legs were entangled with Gerrards. The penalty was taken by Gerrard into the corner the ball was kicked. Inthe second half Vidic made a second error and got a red card, this was his second red card which he got verses Liverpool this year. The free kick was taken by Fabio Ooreilo, it was a beauty of free kick Edwin Van dersar just stood still and watched the ball land in the nets high corner, and the fourth came from the substitue Dossena.
This win was the first by Liverpool at Old trafford Manchesters own ground in five long years. And it also was the largest marginal win for Liverpool in 75 , seventyfive years history.
Edwin Van dersar was finally beaten after 15 , fifteen games the first goal was scored against him. Now the title race is wide open only four points and one game to play in Manchesters favour.The match finished 4-1, for liverpool win.

LIVERPOOL VERSES REAL MADRID.

In the group of death in the group of 16 clubs Real Madrid faced Liverpool away. And the Real Madrids fans were more nervous of the two, the main reason was even after winning nine champion league games , they have failed to reach the quarter finals in the past four years would this be the fifth time they would miss out.?
This time Liverpool would be fresh of their
ess in the first leg, which ended in a 1-0 win for the reds.
Liverpool were determined to settle the game soon, and in the first thirty minutes, Liverpool outran, out played, outscored and the first goal was scored by Fernando Torres in the 16 th minute. Stephen Gerrard scored the second goal with a penalty and he added a third in the28th and 47th minute then Dossena than added the fourth in the 88th minute. The liverpool team won the game with a 5-0 on aggregate.
There could well be more goals for Liverpool, but it was Iker Casillas who stopped many shots.
The penalty was questinable as the ball hit a Liverpool player on the body and then struck Gabriel Heinze on the arm without hisknowledge. Real Madrid players protested long and hard , but for no use.
The other point was that Xavi Alanso comitted a fowl , and a bookable offense to, but the yellow card was shown to Javier Mascherano for kicking the ball, and Alanso got away scott free. Mascherano now misse the quarter final first leg match.
In the end Real Madrid have now failed to reach the quarter finals for the fifth straight year , I am sure some heads will role in the club.

3Readings Kevin Doyle will certainly move to Aston Villa in the month of january for a fee of seven million pounds or so.
4 TheEnglish club Manchester United are keen to buy a Brazalian named Douglas Costa.If these deal works out then Carlos Tevez s plan to make a permanent and a long time move to Old Trafford could well be ended.
5 Manchester United are ready to spend a sum of 15 million pounds on the purchase of the Wigaan Athlatic player from South America Wilson Palacicos . But will they sell him ? As Emile Heskeys contract runs out at the end of the season, as he has got a starting place in the England team he would prefer a bigger club so to loose two good players would be to much for Wigan.
