Tottenham To Fight Manchester United For Defender - Player Report

Jan Vertonghen's quality is now becoming his downfall apparently, as he has again told Andre Villas-Boas that he isn't happy playing at left-back. The fact that he is equally adept at either full-back or centre-half means that he has often found himself in the wide area while Michael Dawson and Vlad Chiriches operate in the middle. However, the same reports say that Spurs are competing with Manchester United for Fabio Coentrao.

Manchester City Eyeing Sergio Ramos Move, But Is He The Man Pellegrini Needs?

Manchester City have conceded 12 games this season in the Premier League - twice as many as Tottenham but one less than Manchester United, and Manuel Pellegrini apparently wants to solidify his backline.

8 La Liga Players Who Could Be Available On A Free In The Summer - Includes Former Liverpool Midfielder

Continuing on from my posts last week, I'm really in the mood to look at more players that will be out of contract next season. The reason behind this is that I just find it fascinating that clubs haven't offered certain players contracts when you thought they would have done by now.

Top 7: Free Agents Who Should Be Picked Up Sooner Rather Than Later

The free agents come out to play when the summer transfer window closes. As long as they've been released by their clubs before the deadline day then they can be signed at any point in the season. It'll be a wise move for any manager to look at the free agents, because judging the players on my list, there are a few bargains to be had here.

Bale's Beauty Not Enough For Real Madrid In Champions League Clash

What a beauty of a goal it was - when Gareth Bale’s crack of a strike in the 60^th minute brought Real Madrid’s lead against Juventus to 2-1 in the Champions League last night, it probably would have been just too perfect if it had ended that way. The final score of the Group B match ended with a 2-2 draw, and though both teams would have preferred a win, especially Juventus, within the last few minutes it was clear that both sides were content with just 1 point.

After a less than impressive start to life without Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United find themselves in eighth place and eight points off top spot.

Gareth Bale vs Neymar - Comparing their starts in La Liga

When Gareth Bale's transfer to Real Madrid commanded the biggest fee ever payed in football, it sparked debate on whether the Wales international was worth it, naturally. Whilst I won't go into that debate, I will compare his start to that of Neymar's over at Barcelona, who the Camp Nou side also splashed out on this summer, albeit earlier than Los Blancos.

5 of the best attacking midfielders in Europe

Following on from my previous post, I have decided to pick out my top 10 attacking midfielders from around Europe as it is a position that intrigues me so much. Now, being an attacking midfielder isn't as easy as people think. There's more to it than just receiving the ball and passing it. You must be able to spot the passes and pick the right runs made by your team mates, but you also have to be able to make them passes.

Anyway, down to business.
