It’s been a long fourteen months for Aaron Ramsey, certainly one the young Welshman will never forget.
The 20 year-old, who Arsenal paid £4.8m for from home-town side Cardiff back in 2008, will have felt like a very long journey had finally ended this afternoon.
Instead of just arriving though, Ramsey arrived in style.
Chelsea have a fully-fit squad to choose from now that Alex, Michael Essien and Ramires all available after injury, it is expected that Fernando Torres and Didier Drogba will start in attack.
Lukaku, 17 is being chased by Europe’s elite, but it appears Chelsea have won the race to sign the Belgian.
The Telegraph reports that the former Chelsea boss will make an audacious attempt to bring John Terry to the Bernabeu this summer.
Manchester United and Liverpool will duke it out for England’s U21 centre half Phil Jones.
It was a moment that the Chelsea faithful had been waiting for. Having started on the bench for the fifth successive game, playing second fiddle to a re-vitalised Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres was, once again, required to make another substitute appearance for the Blues and, potentially, add to his 895 minutes worth of game time without scoring a goal.
For me, commuting up and down the country on dull, typecast trains with about as much atmosphere and personality as Gareth Southgate can only be made bearable by the companionship of a good book.
Looking across the front lines of the Premier League this season, plenty of the “great” strikers within the league haven’t really had much to smile about.
The Mirror reports that Real Madrid are preparing for life without the special one, if he decides to leave in the summer.
It must be nice to be Eric Cantona’s brother. Yes you can tell all your mates that your bro is/was one of the greatest footballers ever, but Joel Cantona also managed to dodge benefits after building a career in football, arguably based on his sibling’s talents. He’s by no means alone, just ask Graham (Carrick), John (Rooney) or Digão (Kaka’s little brother) who all have failed to live up to their brother’s efforts in the game. It leads me to bring you my top 5 brotherly flops*
Whilst eye-catching guys like Nani, Jack Wilshere and Joey Barton (Yes even him!) have stood out this year for their performances, a left back playing in North London has this season come on leaps and bounds.
And finally, a couple of quick questions for you. Who is the most anonymous - Torres in a blue shirt or Nick Clegg in an election campaign? And who is approaching the season’s end most nervously – Arsenal’s back-four or Neil Lennon’s postman?
Clubs often spend millions and millions of pounds on forwards and attacking players but it can often be at the other end of the pitch that can be the difference between success and failure.
The last two seasons have given us every reason to love the top flight game at its best. Cast your mind back a few years ago to this point in the season in 2008 or 2009 and the Premier League table would already be depicting the slow suffocation of those teams in the bottom half of the table. The top four were dominant and getting stronger, and the rest were left to lash it out amongst themselves.
