English Premier League roundup: Aston Villa and Newcastle United
Aston Villa:
Aston Villa assistant manager Gary McAllister has insisted that the club’s new signing will influence Ashley Young’s association with it. The English left winger has reportedly been associated with big Premier League clubs including Manchester
United, Tottenham Hotspurs and Liverpool.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884, is yet to sign a new contract while his current deal is going to run out after 18 months. The Midlands club managed to hold on Ashley during the winter transfer window,
despite heavy interest from the big guns and huge amount offered for the English international.
The assistant manager believes that the Villans showed their high ambition after they signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Bent-c10358 from Sunderland for the record-breaking club transfer fee. McAllister said, "It's a triumph if we keep Ashley for next season and
that we want to keep our best players. If we keep him, it will mean Ashley can win things with Villa. By the signings, we can convince our top players to continue with us."
Aston Villa drew their last match against Fulham at Villa Park and was currently placed 14th in the league, with 29 points to their credit in 26 league games. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Houllier and his men will make a trip to Bloomfield for next Premier
League match against Blackpool Saturday. A win for the Villans will raise them to the top half of the table.
Newcastle United:
The Newcastle United manager has confirmed that his two strikers, Leon Best and Nile Ranger, will return to training after sustaining knocks in the last match. However, Shola Ameobi is still out of action and would not play for the next
one month.
After departure of Newcastle’s top goal scorer Andy Carroll, who joined http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 for record 35 million pounds, Alan Pardew is still short on attacking options and claims that he is looking to sign a new striker.
However, Leon Best and Nile Ranger were impressive in Newcastle’s last record breaking draw, in which the Toons managed to gain a point after being four goals down in the first 45 minutes.
Pardew said: "Both Nile and Leon are due to train again on Thursday without any problems and that is obviously a bonus for us, as we are very short. We are still thinking if we can sign someone to beef us up in that area. We are going
to make a decision Wednesday whether there is anyone available who can do that. There aren't many to choose from, but we have done the necessary research."
Newcastle United is currently placed in the top of the table. The Toons have managed 31 points so far in this season from 25 league games. Alan Pardew’s men will visit Ewood Park for their next match against Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 this Saturday.
