Fabregas, a good choice

on September 1, 2011 None comments

Although was a very long battle with many hours of negotiations, offers over offers, the perseverance of Barcelona’s officials was fully paid. The wanted here, because we are talking about Cesc Fabregas, had turned to be one of the best acquisition of Barcelona for a very long time.

The games just started and Fabregas already looks like he played for the Catalans since he was born. He gathered in just a few weeks 3 trophies and scored a lot of goals, at least one in every game played, some things that he never done during his Arsenal adventure.

“I came here to play right next to Messi. And it was a huge reason I wanted to return home. I haven’t seen players like Messi, he is incredible, having everything that a player needs. Barcelona is not comparable with anything, is unique!” said Fabregas.

Former Arsenal captain is very good friends with Pique but they hardly met because of the quarterback’s injury. Pique was the first who welcomed Fabregas when he came to Barcelona. “ Nano, I cannot believe you are here! ” was his reaction when Fabregas stepped in Barcelona’s locker room.

A new season, new opportunities and again, show presented by Barcelona’s alien players.

I belive its time to talk of old stars. French striker David Trezeguet and former band component of Hercules Alicante, has signed a contract with the Bani Yas group until the end of the season, announced Tuesday the Club from Abu Dhabi.

“We are happy to announce the arrival of Trezeguet. Is an agreement of great importance not only for our club, but for all football in the UAE” said the group vice president,  Seif Al-Khayili.

The club did not provide details of the contract value, but according to the press, the former international will receive 1.7 million euros per year. The Bani Yas team, which ranked second in the championship, will play in the Asia Champions Cup.

David Trezeguet, a 34 years-old player has played for teams like AS Monaco and Juventus. He participated in the World Cup in 1998, won by France and in the European Championship in 2000, when he scored the winning goal for France in the final played against Italy.

Chelsea wants Sneijder from Inter

on August 28, 2011 None comments

Usually transfers mean good news for a team, but I’m not sure that that’s a universal rule. Inter Milan is about to give up the second big name from the team this summer and the main reason for that is because  of Chelsea’s huge offer, seen like an important financial opportunity.

Roman Abramovich is ready to give up Luka Modric, Tottenham not wanting to sell the Croatian midfielder. In its place, the owner of Chelsea wants Wesley Sneijder, a perfect and maybe even a better replacement.

The Dutchman was wanted in the summer by both Manchester United and Arsenal but without success. This time, Sneijder’s chances of reaching to London are pretty high because Chelsea want a player from Inter team, and that could seal the deal.

The officials from Inter asked from Chelsea in return of Sneijder 30 million euros and a player, Florent Malouda. The situation is positive considering that when Abramovich puts his eyes on something, he usually gets what he wants.

With a player like Sneijder playing for them, the Blues could be the next champions in Premier League. But till the end, there is a long long way and they have to face United and City, two teams in a very good shape.
