Premier League Gossip: German Messi to
England, Arsenal in for keeper, Fergie said no to Joe Cole
According to Caughtoffside.com, Werder Bremen's ace playmaker and talented youngster, Marko Marin, could potentially be on his way to one of the big four in England. Dubbed 'The German Messi', Marin could be on his way to England
for as much as up to £15million pounds. With the top four (except perhaps Chelsea) struggling to get good central midfielders together, Marin would be a fine choice to slot into any of Arsenal, Manchester United or Liverpool’s midfields.
Arsenal are rumoured as well to finally up their pursuit of a world class keeper. According to talkSPORT, the keeper that Wenger is looking to land is Ajax and Dutch number one, Maarten Stekelenburg. On the other hand, Mark Hughes
(who is in charge of Fulham) might be looking to finally allow Mark Schwarzer to leave and join Arsenal. However it is now up to Wenger to decide which keeper he wishes to purchase with a whole array of keepers making themselves available to the manager. Shay
Given could also potentially be on his way to the Emirates, with the keeper stating that he is going to be leaving the Eastlands in January after being displaced by Joe Hart.
According to The Sun, the other big name team that turned down the opportunity to sign Joe Cole in the summer was none other than Manchester United. The tabloid reports that Sir Alex Ferguson turned down the option to buy the ex-Chelsea
man because he felt his squad was good enough.
Nicklas Bendtner is apparently outraged by stories that were published on www.Sporten.dk stating that the Danish forward was looking to quit football completely as a result of a chronic groin injury. The Danish international rubbished
this rumour and stated that he is fully focused on getting himself fit again so that he can help Arsenal attain silverware.
The Ajax captain, Luis Suarez, is also currently being monitored by Europe’s elite. The Uruguayan forward could be on his way to play for Manchester United, Inter Milan or Barcelona as early as January. Ajax are currently enduring
a financial crunch and would be looking to get as much as they can for their star players. The quoted sale price, according to Ajax, is to be around thirty million pounds.
