Liverpool Plan £20m Double Newcastle United Raid

Liverpool are preparing an ambitious move to sign Newcastle United pair Jonas Gutierrez and Jose Enrique this summer. The Anfield side will reportedly look to strengthen their weak left side with the capture of the St James’ Park duo who have been in fine form for the Magpies this season.

Kenny Dalglish is known to be an admirer of Spaniard left back Jose Enrique and he has been linked with a move for the 25 year old former Villarreal man as the Liverpool boss looks to fill the left side of his defence. Paul Konchesky and Emiliano Insua are currently out on loan at Nottingham Forest and Galatasaray respectively and neither appear to be in favour with the manager.

The likes of AC Milan and Man United have also been linked with moves for Enrique who has been at Newcastle United since the summer of 2007 and is apparently reluctant to put pen to paper on a new deal until he sees how the club finishes the season and is also looking to see owner Mike Ashley use the funds generated from the sale of Andy Carroll re-invested in the squad. Many sources believe the former Spanish Under 21 international is readying a move away from the North-East club.

Argentine international Jonas Gutierrez is also on Liverpool’s radar as they look to bring natural width to their attack and having seen how well the left side Newcastle United pair work in tandem the Merseyside is interested in replicating the pairing at Anfield.

With the likes of Milan Jovanovic and Joe Cole failing to make an impact and with Maxi and Dirk Kuyt as the default options on either wing, the addition of an out and out winger appears to be uppermost in Dalglish’s plans hence his reported interest in the likes of Aston Villa contract rebel Ashley Young and Wolves wide man Matt Jarvis.

Reports suggest that the combined valuation for the pair is around

West Ham Plan £5m Double Man United Swoop

West Ham are planning a hopeful summer swoop for Man United pair Wes Brown and Michael Owen. The East London side’s co-owners are keen to provide significant funds to beef up the club’s squad if they manage to avoid the dreaded drop to the Championship this season.

Avram Grant will hope that he is still in charge if they do retain their Premier League status and he will then push for an injection of transfer funds so that he can offer Old Trafford striker Michael Owen.a deal that would help lure him to Upton Park. The former England man’s Man United contract ends this summer and there are no signs that Sir Alex Ferguson will renew the deal due to both his continuous injury issues and the fact that Javier Hernandez has made a seamless transition to Premier League football.

West Ham have a number of attacking options but have still managed to net just 36 Premier League goals this term and they are hopeful that a fully fit Michael Owen would be an effective attacking weapon and the promise of regular first team football and a move to London may appeal to the 30 year old. Currently Carlton Cole and Frédéric Piquionne plus on loan strikers Victor Obinna, Demba Ba and Robbie Keane are the club’s attacking options with the top scorer among them only yielding six Premier League goals this season.

Wes Brown has a year left on his current deal but a falling out with Sir Alex Ferguson has left many to believe that the defender could be on his way out of Old Trafford and West Ham are just one of many clubs interested in the adaptable 31 year old who is apparently available for around

Not exactly the Double we’re looking for, but nevertheless a nice coup for the club after that wretched run that followed us into February.

Carlo was named manager of the month and Bob player of the month when the Barclays Premier League awards for March were announced earlier today. Fully deserved I would say.

Well done, gentlemen.

Double injury blow for Everton

Everton manager David Moyes has confirmed that midfielder Marouane Fellaini will miss the rest of the season following ankle surgery.

Moyes also confirmed that Australia international Tim Cahill will be out for up to two weeks with a foot problem.

Belgium international Fellaini sat out the final three months of last season with an ankle ligament injury and six weeks of this season with a hamstring problem.

He sustained the latest knock during Everton’s 2-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday.

The 23-year-old will undergo surgery next week and is not expected to be available again this season.

“Marouane is going to be out for the season now, he will have an operation on Monday,” Moyes said.

“Everybody who has watched us will tell you he has been a key player for us and Tim Cahill will probably miss two or three weeks as well.”

Moyes was speaking after his side’s fifth-round FA Cup defeat at home to Championship Reading.

Everton beat English Premier League title holders Chelsea in the fourth round, but went down 1-0 against second-tier opposition at Goodison Park on Tuesday.

“It’s a massive disappointment for us because we did so well in the previous round,” Moyes said.

“You can only ask for a home tie and we didn’t take advantage of it.”

“We could have defended the set-piece for the goal, our attacking wasn’t good enough. I think they defended really well.”

“They got back behind the ball and we didn’t have enough craft at the top of the pitch to make things happen.”

Double Elbow and Not Even a Caution? (Video)

3 comments by Mad Dog and Glory on December 14th, 2010

Watch this carefully and explain to us how Montpellier defender Emir Spahic does not at least receive a caution for this double elbow attack. Clearly the Bosnian international is so over protective of his keeper that he will down anyone who dares to come within a few feet of him. Ligue 1 strikers be warned!

Wenger to double the ante for Schwarzer?

By Shourin Roy on August 22, 2010 10:15 PM | Comments | TrackBacksShare|

The transfer deadline looms. Every other goalkeeping option is conjecture.

What is real is that Mark Schwarzer wants an out from Fulham. Mark Hughes is proving to be an impediment but maybe willing to back down with more money on the table. Basically, he is having a hissy fit because the transfer is to a club and manager he does not like.

Schwarzer's understudy David Stockdale turned in a fine performance against Man Utd which might convince Sparky if Schwarzer does go, it will not result in a goalkeeping crisis.
