So it seems Chelsea are set to battle it out with Manchester City for the signature of Brazilian full-back Dani Alves.
If reports in The Daily Mail are true, The Blues have set aside £30million to sign the player widely regarded as the best right back in the World. They might also face competition from Manchester City who seem to be interested in every player in the World who fancies a trip to …

As every footballer knows, to truly be respected in the footballing community you must have a model girlfriend and former Middlesbrough, Chelsea and Barcelona winger Bolo Zenden is no exception. He has managed to run rings round lingerie model Clio Pajczer, who by all accounts is gorgeous.
Bolo may not have had a high scoring ratio on the pitch, but off it, he is unplayable.
We’ve all been subject to some god awful street theatre in our time haven’t we? Two grubby students with nothing better to do than try to reinact Waiting for Godot via the medium of mime and milk bottle crates. Worse still are those idiots who mime they are stuck in an invisible box and think that their quirky gestures amount to something resembling art. Then there’s the ones who just stand their like statues, dressed as statues (novel or what?), a bit like Ness in that episode of Gavin and Stacey.
Have you also noticed how this form of expressionism has translated into football celebrations? Ah! You see? You thought all this running to the crowd, punching corner flags, sliding on your knees and kissing the badge were all empty gestures? No more. Did you know Peter Crouch’s famous “robot” dance was actually a celebration of the work of H.R.Giger? You didn’t? Well you do now.
Here’s exhibit one, former Liverpool, Chelsea and current Sunderland star Bolo Zenden at his former club Marseille. Remarkably he scores a goal, a pretty neat one too, before he decides to give us his street theatre artistic version of the 2009-2010 season Portsmouth are going to endure in the Premiership;
I almost missed it the first time because I was still momentarily stunned by Zenden scoring a goal.
Barcelona striker Thierry Henry is once again in the headlines, this time for a brutal attack on Sevilla’s Andres Palop in the Copa del Rey.
The thing that makes Winston Bogarde such a footballing legend is that despite his CV boasting the likes of FC Barcelona and A.C. Milan, the Dutch defender will always been known for his comical stint at Chelsea. Whilst with the west London club, Bogarde made 12 appearances over 4 years at a rate of £686,666 per game and became a wage bill legend. So where did it all go wrong for …
Ok, I’ve given the Spaniard a bit of stick this season, and deservedly so in my opinion regardless of what the feverishly devout, blindly loyal section of Liverpool fans feel, but for today, against the snowy backdrop of an icy Anfield, lets look at some of the shrewdest moves he has made as Liverpool manager looking at the five best signings he has made for the club.
5. Dirk Kuyt (Feyenoord to Liverpool for …
In football we are forever hearing about the next ‘big’ young star. A new week will bring another young prodigy who is supposedly the future of football yet these rumours will often amount to nothing and the name will disappear into obscurity, never to be spoken again. There is however, occasionally a name that comes along and brings with it a wave of genuine excitement over the talents of a hot …
Although he may not be a name that has been pasted all over the back pages of the newspapers recently, don’t be fooled into thinking that the likes of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United have conveniently forgotten about the mercurial talents of SC Lille’s exciting young Belgian born midfielder Eden Hazard.
The youngster has been on the radar of many of European soccer’s elite clubs since …
