Well now, when it comes to football, one man has for many years been the most noticeable, the most controversial, and occasionally the most successful blogger this country has ever produced. His pithy words and abrasive style make him as famous off the pitch as he is on it. This man is Escapini. "I love football. Football she's a cruel mistress. She's, she's more than a mistress. She's a wife, she's a mother, she's a daughter, she's an errant child. She's a… she's a… she can make you laugh, she make you cry. She can bring tears me eyes. She can bring blood to me shoulders. She can bring a kettle to the boil." "Cause football is about nothing, unless it's about something and what it is about, is football."

Luiz Success Inspires €18M Chelsea Swoop For City Target

Daniel Carriço is the 22 year old Portuguese star that has been in an on/off transfer rumour relationship with Manchester City for some time now. But according to Tuttomercatoweb.com Carlo Ancelotti has been so pleased with the David Luiz this season that he’s tempted to try and duplicate that success and return to the same source.

Outside of the Premiership Juventus and Athletico Madrid have expressed an interest in the Sporting Lisbon captain. Sporting are having a rough time of it and the vultures are beginning to circle. They held out for £21M for Luiz and it will be a sum close to that figure that will release a player that would only add huge value to the rebuilding of the Stamford Bridge squad.

Carriço’s decision if – he gets to make one – will undoubtedly be swayed by the presence of Luiz.
