Blistering Bale proves worth

A Messiah name Gareth Bale once  toiled hard in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur but still failed to gift them a Top 4 spot.Soon,he attracted interest from Real Madrid,Manchester United and PSG.But he had his heart set on a move to Real Madrid,defying interest from United and the Parisens.



After hell lot of speculations, Gareth Bale  was finally brought by Real Madrid for around 85 million from Tottenham Hotspurs.His performances did hit rock bottom earlier at the start of the season,prompting everybody in this  world and even the experts to wonder that it is just a panic buy.But the former Spurs star  has finally proved his worth by scoring a hat-rick against Real Valladolid .  .And the non-believers have been supposedly proven wrong by the Welsh hitman who hammered the Valladolid side 2 days ago on his very own.

And on the other hand there is Marouane Fellaini ,who was brought from Everton by Manchester united for around £27.5 million.He hasn't proven his worth so far and the United fans have reportedly commenced a scathing attack on the Belgian,who has been below par so far this season. Consistency is a far-fetched thought if you don't get enough playing time and consideration among other fellow midfielders.

                                                               

And the another player who is performing really well is Mesut Ozil who was brought from Real Madrid by Arsenal on the transfer dead line day  in a deal worth 43.5 million and he is the biggest  signing  in the premier league has pretty appropriately displayed that he's a force to be reckoned with. He has scored three goals and has given the most number of assist i.e 6.His signing may well turn out be the final piece in the jigsaw for the table topping Gunners.

Transfer Round Up

Transfer Rumor Round Up 
This weeks Transfer Gossips

Jeremy Menez Liverpool


Liverpool will battle it out with the likes of both Lyon and AS Roma to win the signature of highly rated but out-of-favour Paris Saint-Germain midfield player Javier Pastore.

                                         

Spanish giants Real Madrid want to sign in-form Manchester City front man Sergio Aguero at the end of this season for a whopping £48 million.
                                       

Manchester United hope to be able to complete a deal for Dundee United starlet Ryan Gauld, aka the ‘New Messi’, by offering his club £3m plus three friendly fixtures for the 17-year-old prodigy who is also said to be interesting Real Madrid.
                                         


Under-pressure Tottenham Hotspur head coach Andre Villas-Boas will be relieved of his duties at White Hart Lane within a month unless the north London club’s results pick up between now and then.

If Tottenham do opt to part company with Villas-Boas, then the club will move for either recently appointed Sunderland coach Gustavo Poyet or Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup as the Portuguese’s replacement.
                                              


Chelsea could have had £30m-rated Southampton left-back Luke Shaw for no cost at all, only to let the young Englishman slip through the club’s youth system.
                                          

Arsenal's rising star- Serge Gnabry

You talk about skill,agility,strength and stamina then you better watch out for Serge Gnabry-also dubbed as the new young star .He impeccably is a kind of player to  watch out for mainly because he possesses sheer talent and has caught the eye of many big clubs.

He is the possessor of something unique

He joined Arsenal from Vfb Stuggart, a small club in Germany from around 10 to 15 million and has already scored one goal and has provided one assist so far in the season, and many fans call him the next Denis Bergkamp and believe it or not,he is still 18 years old and many young stars like him are playing really well like Adnan Januzaj of Manchester United and many more.

Gnabry was born in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg to an Ivorian father and a German mother. In his youth, Gnabry was a talented sprinter but ultimately chose football over athletics. But he never knew  that this  decision would change his life ..

He joined the Gunners youth academy at the age of 16.Gnabry's former club VfB Stuttgart agreed a £100,000 deal with Premier League side Arsenal in 2010, but he had to wait until 2011, when he was 16, to join the English side.Gnabry officially joined Arsenal for the 2011–12 season in which he played for the under-18s for the majority of the season but after impressive displays, Gnabry was then promoted to the Reserves. By the end of the season, Gnabry had played six games, scoring two goals.

Gnabry has shone on both fronts-Club and country,scoring  3 goals for the German U-19 side in a total of 5 appearances.He has put 3 past the keeper in the U-18's and the U-17's

 
Gnabry performing for Germany


He then made his first start for the club on 22 September 2013 in the Premier League against Stoke City after Theo Walcott was ruled out right before kick-off. He played 73 minutes before being subbed out for Ryo Miyaichi as Arsenal won the match 3–1.His moment finally arrived when he scored his first professional goal for Arsenal in their game against Coventry City in the League Cup last year.This season he has exceeded the expectations of many pundits,by scoring a goal in Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Swansea ,which left them at the top of the League.

He's a complete package of nearly everything and Walcott's position might come in jeopardy if the starlet begins to perform better. So,I guess the best is yet to come

Zidane Better Than Messi- says Pele


Pele on Zidane and Messi-
Brazilian football legend Pele has said that Messi still doesn't deserve to be called as equal or better than Former French mid-fielder Zinedine Zidane. The Brazilian legend also claimed that the Argentine has benefited alot by playing alongside the players of Barcelona. 


The journalist asked Pele-
"According to you, should Messi be called as the best player of all time?"

The legend replied-
"Messi is a good player and attracts every football fan with his skills. But, he still needs to surpass Zidane who I think was better" 


Andres Iniesta on Messi-

"Messi is currently the best player of the world, but he is playing with and against various other good player."

The writer's view-

 According to me, the two legends should not be compared at all. Messi is known for his quickness,dribbling skills, alertness and his trememdous control over the ball. Messi can pass the ball to his teammates and shoot towards the goal like no one else.While Zidane was a compact and solid player who loved to move forward during attacks .He is better known for his ball control,vision and passing abilities.

Zidane was a one-man-army for his side. He could win matches for his home team single-handedly. Many a times,  whenever he entered the pitch it looks as if he would be winning the match on his own.

According to me, both are one of the top players of all times, and they should not be compared. Messi is young and a very important part of Argentina and Barcelona.
On the other hand, Zizou is now a retired player and currently a coach. The football world still remembers him because of his contributions towards his teams and his beautiful goals.

Wazza ensures it ends on level begging

WAZZA SAVES THE BLUSHES FOR UNITED
Rooney rejoices after slotting home from the spot

I guess,both sides deserved a point each at White Hart Lane today as United's midfield problems were brought to the forefront yet again.Ryan Giggs was rested after playing a full game in Leverkusen,while Clevz replaced him in the midfield.

Kyle Walker broke the deadlock through a free kick which went from below the wall and slammed into the bottom corner.Spurs looked solid at the back but Walker gave away a lifeline to United some minutes after the opener. He tried laying off a Valencia cross to captain Dawson but Wazza pounced onto the opportunity and slammed the ball into the top corner.The game didn't consist of clear chances but both teams had to strive hard to find the openings. Brazilian Sandro unleashed a rocket which swerved just enough to confuse De Gea,who was rooted to the spot. Just 4 minutes after the rocket was launched Welbeck was taken down by Hugo Lloris in 6 yard box,and earned United a penalty. Wazza,calm and composed hammered the ball straight into the goal,past yellow carded Lloris.
Kagawa, who couldn't express himself in the game was brought off to make way for Ashley Young .Welbeck made way for Chicha while Valencia made way for Nani,who had showed his class in midweek. Spurs were the better side I must say,mostly due to the crowd support at White Hart Lane. United got 1 or 2 half chances but could not convert them ,while Andros Townsend came on and allowed Spurs to widen up the play and to provide some width on the flanks. Spurs got some corners and chances  here and there but nobody could take any advantage .
Christian Eriksen could've been perfect for United-http://www.givemesport.com/403922-christian-eriksen-wouldve-been-perfect-for-manchester-united

Moyes would be unsatisfied with the performance and a draw indicated a need for a good central midfielder who could have passed the ball with more dexterity and purpose. But Rooney's presence seems to ensure that Rvp's absence is not being felt up front. Rvp ensures better link up play with the Attacking midfielder behind him and he can take advantage of his height during set pieces.
Andy Townsend had remarked before kick off that the loser will be out of the title contention but a draw was well deserved for both sides who looked on equal footing in all aspects of the game..

Snubbing Mata is inconsequential-Preview


CHELSEA FANS ARE EXPRESSING THEIR ANGER OVER MOURINHO'S  SELECTION POLICY
Mata has been overlooked repeatedly


Juan Manuel Mata's latest snub at the St. Jakob-Park has prompted some Chelsea fans to launch a scathing attack at Jose Mourinho.He was an unused substitute in Chelsea's 1-0 loss away to FC Basel in Switzerland.He's nearly as good as Oscar,Hazard,Willian or Ramires but he has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of Portuguese gaffer Jose Mourinho. The Chelsea fans took to the social media to protest against this inconsequential and trivial selection.One fan says that he'll never forgive Mourinho-"I will never forgive Jose if Mata leaves Chelsea but no player is bigger than the club"While the other says"Its high time Mourinho start playing Mata for crying out loud".

Mourinho opted to play Oscar and replaced him with Belgian Hazard instead of Mata ,which would have ensured creativity in the midfield.A skillful attacking midfielder, Mata is known for his passing and his ability to score goals. At 5'8" he has a medium build that further facilitates agile mobility, Mata possesses great vision that allows him to provide assists to accompanying forwards.But Jose Mourinho seems to be snubbing him as if he's not there.

It still remains to be known whether Mata will feature against Chelsea's game today against Southampton.I mean,he's still 25 and has got a good 10 years of football ahead of him but this kind of selection will make things tougher for the little Spaniard.

Southampton have been a tricky side to beat this edition after a perfect start to the season.Although,Samuel Eto'o is set to miss out due to a hamstring problem but Chelsea have the likes of Fernando Torres and Demba Ba to fit in.Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino will welcome back Jack Cork and Gaston Ramirez. Cork missed the defeat at Arsenal with an ankle injury but is now fully fit whilst Ramirez is back in contention after also missing the 2-0 loss at the Emirates Stadium after a late return from international duty.


Playing Hazard -Oscar-Mata and Torres up front should benefit Mourinho but his selection policy will affect the course of the game.And especially after Arsenal winning yesterday Chelsea would be desperate to win at Stamford Bridge.And Mourinho must swallow his so-called pride and should play Mata alongside Oscar and Hazard.
Will these long lost days be back?

It`s getting harder and harder to predict how a Chelsea game will turn out these days. There is an air of uncertainty around. Who`d have thought they`d struggle against West Brom and lose against Basel and Newcastle but then win so emphatically against West Ham? Southampton will represent a stiff test, they play decent football and are more than capable of getting a result, but will they? I think not, I`m reckoning on a few harsh words from Jose Mourinho dispel the lethargy that was apparent against FC Basel on Tuesday evening. 2-0 to Chelsea for me!

The Spaniard has fallen behind Eden Hazard and Oscar in the pecking order since Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge and was an unused sub against the Swiss side.
