July 25th, 2010

The top four – Liverpool the mistakes of last season.

After losing in the Champions League last season, Liverpool will be desperate to finish in the first four. Take a look at Liverpool options.

Goalkeeper Pepe Reina in Liverpool has perhaps the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, and always excellent Spanish should mean that the club had nothing to fear in the net.

To won the title, the Premier League show on Liverpool this season but their defense has been strengthened by the acquisition of Scottish Danny Wilson, from Rangers joined in a business of 5 million pounds. There is uncertainty on the left side, but with Fabio Aurelio and Emiliano Insua about to join Fiorentina. New boss Roy Hodgson have in order to fill this gap and the poor, the marginalized who, Wayne Bridge from City is rumored that the purpose of transmission.

Midfielder. Much of the media is new signing Joe Cole, who arrived on a free transfer from Chelsea, and continue to score against them this season. Cole brings the skill and craft that does not exist in the Liverpool midfield last season, and it will be interesting to see how the gel containing Steven Gerrard, who has committed to Liverpool, despite seems consistent with a move away from Anfield to be linked .
Gerrard scored scorching distance, while Liverpool won one last trophy – the FA Cup in 2006 and the captain is the man for Liverpool.

Attack as always, the weight of expectation hanging in the attack especially to Fernando Torres who is trying to be a top scorer in the Premier League for this season. His deputy, David N’Gog showed improvement last season flashes, but Torres is probably assisted in finding the new addition, Serb Milan Jovanovic on forward.

Euro transfer news – Juve join the chase for deadly Dzeko

July 21st, 2010

4/1 Serie A title contenders Juventus are muscling their way into a crowd of European clubs chasing Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko.

Dzeko has been linked with a move to Manchester City, but Juve’s general director Giuseppe Motta remains confident of landing the Serbian marksman who scored 22 Bundesliga goals last season.

“Dzeko is a dream that is not going away,” Marotta said. “He is a target that we will continue to follow until it is possible.”

Fiorentina midfielder Stevan Jovetic, meanwhile, has distanced himself from rumours linking him to Barcelona, who are 3/1 favourites to win the Champions League.

Roma defender Philippe Mexes is another Serie A player in demand, and Zenit St Petersburg have offered €14m for the French centre-back. Roma finished second in last season’s Serie A, and they are 4/1 to win the title this time around.

Elsewhere in Europe, one of the stars of the World Cup, Asamoah Gyan, is highly sought-after, though his French club Rennes will not let him leave without a struggle.

The Ghanaian forward has attracted interest from Galatasaray and Tottenham among others, and his employers at Rennes are unlikely to sell their prized asset for anything less than €10m.

An orderly queue appears to be forming for the signature of Lyon striker Loic Remy, with Liverpool and West Ham pushing their way to the front.

The Hammers have reportedly bid €13.5m for the French forward, which makes them the early favourites to land the much coveted 23-year-old.

Priced at 9/4 to be relegated, West Ham are many people’s tip to drop down to the Championship this season, though if they can snaffle a goalscoring star such as Remy, Upton Park should be hosting Premier League football for a long time yet.

Who will be the top European side this season? AC Milan are 18/1 to win the Champions League. See the full UEFA Champions League market.
