Cabaye in fresh quit hint

February 2, 2025 0

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Yohan Cabaye has refused to deny the possibility of leaving the Saints in January.

Despite arriving as a big name signing from Newcastle, the France international has struggled for playing time at Parc des Princes.

And while he remains adamant he will not request a transfer, Cabaye is clearly unhappy with the current situation.

He has now moved to suggest that he could be leaving the Saints in the near future, with England obviously the preferred destination.

This is a question I do not ask myself, especially today. The situation at the club is what it is, the midfielder told Canal +.

I love England and it is not a surprise if I say that. Today I am in Paris but I m not likely to give up. I will fight as I should …

Cambiasso backs Alvarez to improve

February 2, 2025 0

Inter Milan midfielder Esteban Cambiasso believes his team-mate Ricky Alvarez has the quality to succeed at the club.

The 24-year-old has struggled to live up to expectations since he joined Inter from Velez Sarsfield in 2011.

But Cambiasso feels it is too early to write him off just yet and said it was only a matter of time before he showed his quality.

I m sure he s got what it takes to become a great player. I think he and some of the other lads joined Inter in a season that was tough for everyone, Cambiasso told Inter Channel.

It was tough for those of us who had been here for years so we weren t even able to help them out at a difficult time. Unfortunately we couldn t make it easy for them to settle in.

Then Ricky started this year with …

Barcelona lacking a captain like Puyol – Capello

February 1, 2025 0

Former Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello believes Barcelona s recent struggles are partially down to the absence of a charismatic leader like Carles Puyol, who hung up his boots in 2014.

The Catalans are on a four-game winless streak in La Liga following Sunday s 2-1 defeat against Valencia and are in serious danger of missing out on the domestic title following their poor run, while they also crashed out of the Champions League at the hands of Atletico Madrid.

And Capello who was coach of the Madrid team that pipped Barcelona to the title in 2006-07 after an impressive comeback feels the lack of a true leader could cost the Camp Nou side.

This time, the comeback has happened really quickly. Barca have lost a lot of points and are now in great difficulty. When we …

Financial trouble may force Valencia to sell stars

February 1, 2025 0

Valencia are considering selling some of their star players, including strikers David Villa who was the top scorer at Euro 2008 and David Silva, to balance the books, Spanish media reported Monday.

The club have been forced into off-loading key players because they have been unable to carry out a much-needed capital increase, sports daily Marca and regional daily Las Provincias reported.

Valencia are in financial trouble due to a poor season, a huge payoff to their previous coach and the fact that they failed to make the lucrative Champions League for next season.

The club won the Spanish league in 2002 and 2004 but finished in 10th place last season in La Liga, 34 points behind the winners Real Madrid but will take part in the UEFA Cup next season since they…

January 31, 2025 0

Wales continued their strong start to life in Group D as they edged past Latvia on the road to UEFA Euro 2024 qualification.

In this instance, the difference proved to be a solid header from Kieffer Moore just before half time that earned the Welsh three vital points.

Today, we ll be taking a look at a few of our big takeaways from the encounter.

The Bale transition

Prior to kick-off, Wales gave record goalscorer and former talisman Gareth Bale a big send-off as he prepares for retirement. What followed, in many ways, was the legacy that he leaves behind. …

January 31, 2025 0

Harry Kane s goalscoring prowess has been saluted by the striker responsible for England s finest hour.

Tottenham and England star Kane is off and running this year and his brace in Saturday s 4-0 thrashing of Everton took him past Teddy Sheringham as Spurs all-time leading Premier League scorer, following a record-breaking 2017.

Arsenal plotting Leon Bailey summer swoop

January 30, 2025 0

Premier League giants Arsenal are making ambitious plans for life after Alexis Sanchez – and possibly Mesut Ozil.

Gunners have sanctioned Sanchez’s departure to Manchester United on Monday with Armenia international Henrikh Mkhitaryan going the other way and putting an Arsenal shirt just a year and a half after joining the Red Devils.

Arsenal are also attempting to lure Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who is the subject of transfer negotiations these last few days and it appears that Gunners could head into the next part of the season stronger than before.

With Gunners planning for the future with the arrivals of Konstantinos Mavropanos, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and possibly Aubameyang, Wenger is looking to add more quality to his ranks.

Rooney: England can go far

January 30, 2025 0

Returning England striker Wayne Rooney believes his country has a good opportunity to feature in the later stages of Euro 2012.

The Manchester United striker will be recalled to the English line-up on Tuesday for their Group D match against co-host Ukraine after serving a two-match suspension.

And after encouraging first-up results against France (1-1 draw) and Sweden (3-2 win), Rooney is confident they have what it takes to reach the pointy end of the competition.

Loew impressed as Germany march on

January 29, 2025 0

Germany coach Joachim Loew hailed his team s landmark achievement after they defeated Greece to reach the semi-finals of Euro 2012.

Loew has guided Germany to the last four of three successive international tournaments, and he served as assistant to Juergen Klinsmann when the team reached the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup on home soil in 2006.
