Arsenal – 2

on July 7, 2011 None comments

While almost all clubs are fighting to bring the best players in the house, last season title competitor, Arsenal, is about to lose two of the best players from the first 11.

Arsenal would like to keep Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri, but chances for this to happen are quite small. Fabregas, who was on holiday in Spain, returned Tuesday to the club, but with though to leave, because Barcelona has made a new offer, this time putting on the table 35 million pounds. Nasri is still on vacation, and his situation is more complicated, as he is in the last 12 months of the contract.

The team from London refused an offer of 27 million pounds from the Catalans, but the new advanced amount, 35 million pounds, seems to appeal to the leadership of the Emirates.

Fabregas started the 2004-05 season at Arsenal and at the end of that won the FA Cup editions. Unfortunately, the only trophy was to be conquered with London team until today. Nasri, who came in 2008, failed even that, which is why he rejected the offer of renewal of contract with the Gunners, worth 90,000 pounds a week.

Things don’t look too good for Arsenal. Will this affect the next season? We shall find out soon!

As the start of a new season is just ahead, Barcelona made the first transfer of this summer. They purchased from Hercules a 20 years old player, Femenia Kiko. He will play in the second team of Barca, under close attention from Josep Guardiola.

Francisco ‘Kiko’ Femenía Far is a right side defender and Barcelona paid for him two million euros. The player is a product of Hercules team and he had his debut in the first team on June 15, 2008, at just 17 years, in the Segunda Division match, against Cadiz, 1-1.

Kiko Femenía started in Primera Division at the age of 19, in a Hercules T-shirt. He had a strong start in the first game when he entered In the field in the 60 min. He lost three consecutive balls and his morale was affected.

Little by little, Kiko seemed to regain confidence in himself and the fans were also with the player. He gave some samples of his talent and had managed to overcome the blockage, but it wasn’t enough for his team. Hercules was defeated 1-0by Athletic Bilbao.

After a good pause between seasons, the teams and the players are starting to make their first moves on the transfer market.

So to be close to these moves, I am starting with Luis Garcia, which after a road trip to a lot of top European teams like: Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and an disastrous season at Panathinaikos. In the end he decided that he needs a change. After a black season in Greece, where he scored 2 goals in 14 matches, Garcia wants to change European air with the one from Mexico.

This idea was spotted on a socializing website where he posted a message: “Good evening. Mexico will be my next destination next year, will confirm it tomorrow!”

Raised in Barcelona, Garcia made it only for one season for the Catalans, scoring 4 goals in 25 matches. Transferred to Liverpool, where he spent three seasons and scored 18 goals in 77 matches. After three seasons at Atletico and Racing Santander, Luis Garcia was transferred to Greece.

Will it be a good change in his future career? We shall wait and see!

Cristiano Ronaldo’s new hobby is to engage more in the transfer plans of Real Madrid, making lobby for a player who already said that he is anti-Barcelona.

The Portuguese player wants to bring a national fellow at Real Madrid. The man in cause is coming from Benfica, defender Fabio Coentrao.
He is seen as a new sensation of Portuguese football, reaching the semifinals of the League this year in Europe, one of the best players from Benfica.

“He’s very strong and can play multiple positions. It is one of the best players in the world, ” Ronaldo told Spanish press. The amount of money which Benfica requires for the player is round about 30 million.

Neither Coentrao is no stranger to such statements, saying last week: “I want to play for Real Madrid which is the best club in the world.”

Real Madrid is preparing for the tournament in China in August. Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Xabi Alonso and Mourinho have learned Chinese to promote their games.

All remain to say is that the next season in Primera Division won’t be an easy one for Barcelona because Real wants payback.
