Palermo president Maurzio Zamparini revealed that Javier Pastore would remain at Palermo for at least another season.
Juventus have reportedly joined the race to sign the Argentine playmaker, but Zamparini doesn’t think the Old Lady can compete with big European teams.
Palermo president Maurzio Zamparini revealed that Javier Pastore would remain at Palermo for at least another season.
Juventus have reportedly joined the race to sign the Argentine playmaker, but Zamparini doesn’t think the Old Lady can compete with big European teams.
That player was 18 year-old playmaker Christian Eriksen. The Ajax youngster is highly-rated and he showed some of his sublime talent by controlling the midfield battle.
Outshone
He outshone more experienced midfielders but he also outshone England’s new great midfielder hope Jack Wilshere.
They are similar in style but I just feel Eriksen is a step ahead of the Gunners ace. In fact Arsenal are believed to be interested in signing the diminutive star.
Big
A man who knows a bit about the Premier League and Eriksen is ex-Ajax boss Martin Jol. The former-Tottenham chief told the Sunday Times: “In 18 months he’ll be too big for Holland, he is already probably worth the most of any player in the Dutch League.
“He is one of the biggest talents Ajax have ever had in the No 10 position, on a level with Jari Litmanen, Wesley Sneijder, Rafael van der Vaart. As a No 10 he could be the best in Europe. Left foot, right foot, a trick, a shot, he has everything you need.”
I think it’s a bit early to be comparing him with the likes of Sneijder and Litmanen but he has huge potential. Jol obviously rates the youngster highly and expects him to move in the next 18 months. However some reports are suggesting that the youngster could move earlier than that. I very much doubt it.

West Brom manager Roberto Di Matteo has revealed that they are unlikely to make any signings in the January transfer window.
Di Matteo has called on his squad to pull together in order to secure their top-flight survival.
“We don’t have much room to strengthen, as people know,” he told the Birmingham Mail.
“We will try but otherwise we will stay with what we have.
“If everyone can stay fit then we have a chance.
“We need everybody, not just the senior players, although we do have players who have been here before.
“I told the players that we’d put a lot of effort in at Bolton but we have to be more clinical.
“We score one goal and the whole game changes – that’s been our weakness.
“I can’t blame my players as they’re doing all they can.”
