Transfer Rumors (20 August 09): Everton in for Taylor and Taylor, Tottenham to move for Portsmouth’s James, Hull target Negredo signs for Sevilla, and more

When you follow up a loss at home to a supposedly inferior side by conceding a goal inside the first minute of your next match, it doesn’t speak too well of your defense, and with that in mind, Martin O’Neill is hard at work looking for back line reinforcements to help Aston Villa right the…

Premier League Predictions: Manchester United and Chelsea to win, Tottenham to lose

Premier League Predictions: Manchester United and Chelsea to win, Tottenham to lose

The first week of the 09-10 Premier League season has thrown up a few surprises (and pleasant ones at that). The newcomers to the league have been in typically plucky form, Arsenal and Tottenham have managed excellent starts that, for the moment at least, give hope that their much-hyped potential will be realised this year….

Liverpool to finish third behind Manchester United as Tottenham and City make case for fifth place

Transfer Rumors (8 August 09): Liverpool land Aquilani, Toni to sign for West Ham, Real’s Huntelaar moves to AC Milan, and more

How good of an investment is bringing in an highly-talented but oft-injured player for 20m? Rafa Benitez won’t find that out for a month or two, what with new signing Alberto Aquilani on the shelf for the start of the season. Liverpool aren’t the only Premier League side bringing in a big-name Italian import this…

Transfer Rumors (6 August 09): Liverpool replace new Real man Alonso with Roma’s Aquilani, Man City to tie up Lescott deal today, Tottenham close on Newcastle’s Bassong, and more

An A for an A, a tooth for a tooth? Excuse the weak comment there, but it is early, so I won’t be at my cleverest for another few hours or so. That being said, Liverpool have sold an A(lonso) and are immediately replacing him with an A(quilani), with money still to spare. That’s the…

Transfer Rumors (31 July 09): Man United to bid for Bayern’s Ribery, Liverpool to move for Valencia’s Villa, Arsenal eye Roma’s De Rossi, and more

If you already didn’t know that it’s a good idea to watch what you say and who you say it to, it looks like soon-to-be former Tottenham striker Darren Bent has decided to give us all a nice reminder with his Twitterific transfer-related tantrum. While an apologetic Bent (well, that answers the question about whether…

Transfer Rumors (30 July 09): Liverpool’s Alonso submits transfer request, Vieira being lined up for Arsenal return, Tottenham stay hot on Huntelaar trail, and more

Often enough, asking nicely is the key to getting something that you want, and it looks like that might be the case with soon-to-be former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso, who could be on a flight to Madrid sometime in the next few days to complete his dream move to Real Madrid. Unfortunately for Javier Mascherano,…

‘Good Touch For A Tall Guy’: What Else Does Peter Crouch Offer?

‘Good Touch For A Tall Guy’: What Else Does Peter Crouch Offer?

Throughout Peter Crouch’s career he has constantly been judged on his appearance more so than his on-pitch appearances. When Crouch is praised for his footballing abilities, it is usually the famous cliche that the media has tagged Crouchy with ’good touch for a tall guy’, but is this all that the England International is good for? Although many can…

Transfer Rumors (28 July 09): AC Milan reject Chelsea’s Pirlo bid, Tottenham target Hull defender Turner, Bent’s Sunderland move in doubt, and more

It’s safe to say that Darren Bent is leaving Tottenham, but for who? It looked like Sunderland was a go for Bent, but until all of the i’s have been dotted and all of the t’s crossed, nothing is definite. Along with late bids for Bent, this morning’s roundup is packed chock full of Portsmouth…

Transfer Rumors (27 July 09): Arsenal’s Toure set for Man City move, Pompey’s Crouch signs for Tottenham, Inter’s Ibrahmovic seals Barca move, and more

Abbey and Crouch headed to London
