The fact the player accepted the offer from City proves he isn’t moving for sporting reasons. Every time I have spoken with him he was very sad, crying and asking to leave ...

West Hammered: MLS Learns from the Pros While English cynicism used to be a cherished import in the all-too-earnest hinterland of soccer-loving North America, the bile has lost its caché in the past few years. No more, Guardian. Cease and desist, ‘When Saturday Comes’. Your glib asides on the American game, which may have seemed like cutting journalistic insight post 1994, now sounds like the wet-gummed wheezings of an irate undergraduate student moaning about the ...

There is a trait within many different avenues of football to overplay the concept of a ‘big club’ in world football. By nature, there will always be disagreements over who are, and aren’t the ‘big clubs’ in the game today, and what criteria defines this honour, but ask a fan, pundit, whoever you like to name the top teams from England, and you’ll usually get the same stock answers: Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs ...

Just when you thought you’d seen it all, today’s transfer roundup will show you that you haven’t. England According to multiple reports, Chelsea may be set to make a €150m offer to AC Milan for Kaka. No, that’s not a typo. They’ve already reportedly made a €100m offer that Milan paid no mind to, but maybe they think another €50m could make the Rossoneri think a little. Rumor Rating: 2 - Still unlikely to happen, ...

Well, it’s a new week again, but today’s roundup is a little shorter than some of the past few Monday roundups. Still, there’s plenty to talk about, so let’s get to it! Italy So, is Jose Mourinho prepared to just wait it out for Frank Lampard? In talking to TVI, he says it seems more likely that Lampard will see out the final year of his contract with Chelsea and not join Inter this summer. ...

For all those enraged by the hundreds of millions of pounds in inflated transfer fees flying between the stadia of Europe this summer: there was once a bearded man from a long time ago who proposed that the use-value of a commodity or service should determine its price, not market forces. No, I’m not talking about Gandalf, or even Santa Claus – I’m referring to Karl Marx. Marx fought against wage-slavery long before Sepp Blatter’s ...
