Man City's Argentine duo I'm sure the majority of football fans have noticed that Manchester City have splashed the cash once more! This time they've coughed up around £45m just this summer on two players! One of these that have been brought in is Athletico Madrid starlight Sergio Aguero who is definitely the ideal replacement for the likely departing Carlos Tevez. After Tevez revealed his desire to return to Argentina/Spain, Man City then stepped up their pursuit for Sergio Aguero by offering 38m which Athletico Madrid could not refuse. The other signing from Man City was left back Gael Clichy from Arsenal for around 7m after being named the best left back of the season. Sergio Aguero had a very successful couple of seasons in La Liga attracting much interest from Man City, Chelsea and Real Madrid before deciding to opt for the big money at Man City. Aguero who is incidentally Diego Maradona's son in law has scored 75 goals in 175 appearances for Athletico and fo...

Stuart and Ashley! N'Zog's hear though! This summer has definitely been a big summer for Villa with a few positives and negatives, A few positives for Villa have been a new manager, the signing of Shay Given. However Villa have had a few damaging blows in their team with the departures of Ashley Young, Stuart Downing and Brad Friedel. (Friedel was quickly replaced by Given which is why his not in the title) Ashley Young made a big move to Man Utd where I think he will fit in perfectly with the way Man Utd play.I also think that 20m is exactly what his worth and is at the right club to maybe take his career to the next level. The so me really applies for Stuart Downing who I think definitely is one of England's best winger's and impressed me whilst he was at Middlesbrough and his move to Aston Villa wasn't a particular big one but has again shone in what has been a dismal season for Aston Villa. in 2011 he made a big money move to Liverpool where he will again be...

Charming Charlie Charlie Adam after recently making a big money move from Blackpool to Liverpool for around 7m which i think is a very reasonable price for a midfielder with maybe the same qualities as Steven Gerrard. After 3 successful seasons at Blackpool Charlie has had much speculation about his future since Christmas. However can he show his true potential in a Liverpool shirt. The 28 year old centre midfield has a fantastic wide range of passing, a tough tackle and a eye for goal has impressed in the Premier League and has been one of the brightest players in a Blackpool shirt. Although I do have doughts over Charlie Adam's move to Liverpool as if he may struggle in a ever improving Liverpool side which in the centre of midfield  is particularly strong with Gerrard, Lucas, Poulsen, Spearing, Raul Miereles and Aquilani . I don't think that Charlie Adam will have to much of a problem getting into the Liverpool side as he does offer a bit more to the side then the likes ...

No More for Nasri Arsene Wenger this week has underlined his target to keep key duo Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri. I've already discussed Cesc Fabregas on this blog so I thought I'd spend a bit of time talking about Arsenal quick-footed Frenchmen. After 3 years at the Emirates, Nasri this year showed why his one of the best in the Premier League and attracted much attention from the two Manchester clubs which has sparked rumours and doubts about his future at the Emirates. The 24 year old Frenchmen who only has 1 year left on his contract won't be sold on the cheap it would seam with Man Utd making a 20m bid as rumours suggest. I do think though that Nasri is worth every penny of that 20m as he has shown desire, skill, talent and has been one of the main positives for Arsene Wenger this season. The indecisive midfielder hasn't come out and made a proper statement like his teammate Cesc Fabregas and both let their agents do the...

Captain's Loyal or Disloyal After seeing Arsenal at the weekend achieve a draw against Fulham away I couldn't help notice that captain Cesc Fabregas wasn't anywhere to be seen for the Gunners. This was because Captain Cesc was at the Spanish Grand Prix. Whilst Carlos Tevez has refused to take part in a open top bus parade following Man City's victory over Stoke in the FA Cup Final and flew back to Argentina to simply visit his family and have a 3 month break over there instead of honoring the Man City fans who have supported Tevez through thick and thin. Are Premier League captains becoming disloyal? I always associate a captain as a loyal, whole hearted sort of player with a never say die attitude such as Scott Parker and John Terry. These are players that have a lot of respect for the club, fans and of course their team mates. What kind of example does this set to youngsters coming through? Something that needs to be fixed in the Premier League.
