The biggest day of the English transfer market and to help pay the bills I had to spend much of it out of the office and away from a computer. Not good news for a man who still holds high hopes of Spurs pulling a big signing out of the bag come midnight tonight and [...]

How horrid for him (and I truly mean that). The big problem with holding your club to ransom is now becoming apparent, that is, if you don’t force them to sell you or, as in Cole’s case, the other club starts playing chicken over the transfer fee, then you are left in limbo at a [...]

The first scans on Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand’s injured foot show no conclusive evidence of the dreaded broken metatarsal injury he feared. The injury will be looked at again today by club doctors but they think it may just be badly bruised after the defender limped out of Saturday’s win against Watford at Vicarage [...]

We’ve been over this before on The Footie when I said it was obviously Chelsea that Carlos Tevez was close to signing for but now I’m not so sure.

Those unfortunate enough to follow his poor excuse for a [...]

You know that things are getting bad for your club when you sink this low. Relegated from Serie A, stripped of your last two Italian League titles and deducted enough points to keep you in Serie B for at least two years would surely be enough punishment for any club to bear but at Juventus [...]

I can just picture the scene at Old Trafford as news leaks out of Brazil that Argentinian striker Carlos Tevez is ready to leave Corinthians and continue his footballing adventure across the Atlantic in Europe.
What I can’t understand is where United would play the no-necked hitman. He’s a fantastic talent, no doubt about that, and [...]

Every summer we get the transfer rumours involving some English club or another trying to forgive past indiscretions and tame the wild footballing beast known more commonly as “Le Sulk” (by the tabloids) or as his parents call him, Nicolas Anelka.
Every summer the player finds a reason not to join the mentioned club and for [...]

As the English Premiership season kicks off today (and has actually already started with Liverpool’s early kickoff against Sheffield United) I’m going to take a look at five of the new faces who could light up their new clubs’ Premiership season.
1. Dimitar Berbatov (Tottenham Hotspur) - A big money move from Bayer Leverkusen sees the [...]
