Chelsea to bid £30 for Luka Modric
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097 and that is exactly what the Croatian can provide.
Summer signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramires-c30523 has failed to live up to the expectations and with Chelsea dropping to fourth in the table; Ancelotti believes his ageing side needs fresh legs.
Dinamo Zagreb vice president, Zdravko Mamic, has claimed that Modric is top of the priority list of the Chelsea boss. He said that Ancelotti told him about Modric during a lunch recently.
"Luka is top of his list, his first pick when it comes to new signings. I am not Modric's agent - I am just his friend - but I am very proud.” told Zdravko Mamic.
Media reckons that owner; Roman Abramovich has given green light to a £30m bid for the Spurs Hotshot.
Beckham to go to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904
What do the papers do when a player like Beckham suggests he wants a loan move to Europe and in England, it will only be for Manchester United?
They fill newspaper with rumours and link him to the most suitable clubs. In this case it was Bayern Munich. As http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 or Italy would sign
him.
This left media with Bayern Munich as the number one club to be linked with. Other clubs to be ‘interested’ – or rather interesting the media – include Marseille and Benfica.
Capello is not going to Inter Milan
Since Rafa Benitez’s outburst, Fabio Capello has been linked with a job with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 job to move to Inter Milan.”
The Italian has consistently been linked with the Italian champions as reports suggest that Rafa is on his way out of the Milan club.
“Capello has told Wembley officials that he remains determined to guide his side to the European Championships in 2012 and then make amends.”
Arsene Wenger – The short term memory man
It was not long ago that the Arsenal Manager told media that he will not be in the market for any new players. However, this is what he had to say recently.
"If we find the players who can give something more to the team, we will do it," the Arsenal boss had to say to T/V channel.
However, he has ruled out any major and big money signings – as always.
"We respect our budget," said Wenger. "You look at the clubs who lose £100m or £150m and if we do that then we go bust. We pay what we can afford.”
"I'm amazed that people are amazed that we do that. I think what is surprising is that people don't respect that. If I tell you we can win two more points but we lose £150m, what will you say? Win two more points. But I ask a second question: where do we
get the £150m in? Maybe you don't have the same answer."
Aston Villa will not entertain bids for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Young-c6813
A famous newspaper claims that Aston Villa are determined to keep their prized asset at Villa park at least until the end of his contract, which runs out in 18 months time. Their claim is so strong that they are willing to let go Young for a free after 18
months time, rather than make serious money from his sale now.
Young has been linked with moves to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Tottenham. However, Villa wants to tie down the hit man with an improved contract. In case the two parties fail to reach an agreement, Villa will allow Young to see out his contract but won’t sell him at
any cost.
