Players on the free transfer list come 2018

Image
Emre CanEmre Can heavily link with Juventus where fellow Germany teammate Khediera  is based. With Khedeira and Cluadio Marchisso in there thirties and Can  now approaching 24 years the deal looks beneficial to both parties. Mesut OzilLike Alexis Sanchez , Paul is linked to Manchester United and Barcelona. While Alexis made the move in January Paul has stayed and become the undisputed playmaker at Emrites. Luke Shaw After four seasons and 53 appearances for United that was full of long term injuries and public critism from the Jose Mourinho, Shaw is set to leave. Like the rest of players on this list he could leave for free come summer after United spend close to 30 million for the highly rated English right-back.  Yaya Toure Limited to just 11 appearances this season, four of which have come in the Carabao Cup, Yaya Toure, a veteran by the time City won the League in 2012. His touch and composure made him unplayable at times, gliding pas...

The Best Average and Worst January signing in 2018

Image
BEST Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund) 56 million He has scored 21 goals in 23 matches this season before moving on from Dortmund, altogether he scored 141 goals in 213 appearances for the club. The Gabon born striker needs no introduction really, he has been around for some time and his signing was a much needed move with a misfiring attack all season long. Life started with a flurry of goals against a poor Everton side, who after the 90 minutes conceded 5 goals, one of which was Aubameyang's debut goal. Even though he blanked at Top 4 matches with Spurs and City , it is only his first season playing with a new team that really isn't an upgrade on his former teammates at Dortmund. He is poised to end the season on a high following up on his five strikes from five matches March. Few can debate his has been a good signing. It's a pity he can't play for them in Europe this season and help out in the push for silverware to send Arsene home smiling. ...

Imagine if Sterling scored more of his chances

Image
Raheem Sterling Praise for Sterling Sterling is having the most prolific season of his career. He is in a team that is this year's gold standard all because the manager demands improvement from every player. No one has answered those calls more than Raheem Sterling! He has vastly improved from his previous levels you could say. When you look at Silva and Aguero they have just changed their game a bit to suit the manager's tactics, while still remaining relevant. It is Sterling who no one thought would produce such commendable performances. He is scoring for fun with either his left or right foot, even the occasional header. His shooting technique is what has really changed. This has been credited due to hard work, and the combined effort of he and the manager reviewing tapes to improve his training. Young players always have to be sponges, and when you are training with the likes of KDB , Sane, Jesus and veterans like Yaya Toure and Vincient Kompany, it doesn...

Fantasy Premier League Tips Double Gameweek 37

Image
Fantasy Premier League While I know it's late in the season and all the Caribbean Fans are thinking . . . why so late! Well the truth is, while we keep track of our teams as much as we keep track of our local women, I didn't want this to be just about the game, but more about the players, their lives, environments, achievements and disappointments. That being said I have been a loyal manager since it's inception. This year I have done pretty well, check out the link on my Facebook page to my team for Gameweek 37. It is a double Gameweek, and as most of us know this means players could face two teams in one Gameweek, thus increasing their chances for high scores. If you are an experienced manager, like myself, you should still have chips to play, for example I still have my Free Hit and Bench Boast. With only one Double Gameweek and Gameweek 38 to go , its all or nothing for those who play the virtual game. Graeme Conyette's Fanatasy Premier League XI GAMEWEE...

Player profile Liverpool's Oxlade Chamberlain

Image
Alex Oxlade Chamerlain key statistics  Born : 15/08/93 (24 years) Current club : Liverpool FC Previous club : Arsenal FC Position: Midfielder (Center, Right, Left) Nationality : England Another one who received mentorship from the Southhampton academy, Alex Oxlade Chamerlain. Southhampton is credited for producing talents such as Victor Wanyama, Ward-Prowse, and Clyne. Eventually in 2011 Oxlade made the big switch to Arsenal FC where he stayed and further developed for the next six years winning three F.A cups. Presently he plays for Liverpool FC where he has finally found he place. Life at Anfield started just as it had at Arsenal, slow and unassured. Eventually, after playing an energetic direct style of football, showing his ability to drive the midfield forward with great effect, he is now described as a " Big Gun". Next season's opposition will be fully aware and for this reason he has to raise his game even higher! Imagine his signing was met ...

Chelsea owner right to be mad

Image
Roman a hard task master? I’ve literally lost count the number of managerial changes at Stamford Bridge over the last couple of years. Since the inception of the Abramovich era we saw the high bar the owner set for the club and rightly so. Roman has pumped millions into the club with an expectant return on investment, in the form of trophies. This often ruthless stance on manager’s tenure at the club has been well documented and shirked upon as most pundits agree that sacking the mangers doesn’t fix the boat. Some may lament it can stabilize it as in the case of Andre Villas-Boas who had a horrid time in the Chelsea dugout, while the subsequent one Di Matteo helped bring the European silverware to the Bridge even though he found himself on the wrong end of Roman’s rope. Key players look not to be up to scratch, Courtois can be held accountable for all three goals against Barcalona as well as the fading Cahill who has left a gaping whole not ready to be filled...

Lukaku profit misused by Everton!!! What is wrong?

Image
Faulty transfer policy Davy Klaassen (23.6 million pounds) Has not featured much for much discussion and that is how we start seeing the cracks in Everton's transfer policy. When he was signed much hype surrounded his arrival from the Dutch league. Fast-forward eight months and he hasn't made a note. With Glyfi injured he may yet get his chance to shine, but such is the life of a premier league player. Harsh critique for a first season coming from a technical league that is much slower and not as physical, nonetheless professionals nowadays, much is expected especially when you are spending that kind of cash. Michael Keane (25 million pounds) Not an assured start since his move but the solution looks to be partnering him with a more senior teammate. Dropped by coach for repeated errors at the back this season. Secondly most thought this was a secure buy from Burnley back in 2017 and now one wonders if they have to resume the hunt for the "new John Stones...
