Arsenal looking for an ‘’experienced” forward, says Wenger
Arsene Wenger is in the hunt for an 'experienced' attacker before the transfer window closes. The Arsenal boss saw his side claim a 2-1 victory over the MLS All-Stars in San Jose . A late goal from Chuba Akpom, who spent last season on loan at Hull, settled the contest in the 87th minute when he tapped in a Nacho Monreal pass from close range, after Didier Drogba had levelled the match following the game’s opening goal from Joel Campbell. But despite the defeat, and attackers Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez still to return from their summer vacations, Wenger admitted that he is keen to add some experience to his forward line. “I have, at the moment, not too many attacking options of experienced players,” said Wenger. “Let’s not forget that we … [Read more...]
Klopp questions paying £100m for a footballer
Jurgen Klopp believes signing any player for £100million is a huge transfer risk and says Liverpool will never operate like that with him in charge. The Reds have spent over £60m this summer – more than any other Premier League side – but their biggest single outlay has been the £34m paid to Southampton for Sadio Mane. Premier League clubs have spent a combined £500m on players in this transfer window as the added money from new television deals filters through to the clubs, and fees have risen as a result. Jordon Ibe, with one goal in 41 Premier League appearances, has joined Bournemouth for £15m. Manchester United have signed Eric Bailly, who has 61 career league games to his name, for £30m. Watford have spent £12.5m on Isaac Success, who has scored 16 … [Read more...]
massive clear-out as Mourinho set to axe nine players from United Squad
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is believed to be set for a clear-out, with up to nine players reportedly on their way out of Old Trafford. Several national newspapers have suggested Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger will be the highest profile victim, a little more than a year after he joined the Premier League club from Bayern Munich. The 31-year-old moved from Bayern to United last summer for a fee of arounnd £6.5million, signing a three-year deal, but he made only 13 Premier League starts. His last appearance for United came in the derby win at Manchester City in March. Schweinsteiger then suffered a partial medial collateral ligament tear during training with Germany ahead of the friendly with England, but he recovered sufficiently … [Read more...]
Cech: Arsenal shouldn’t buy for the sake of spending
Petr Cech has defended Arsenal’s transfer policy, claiming that there is little point the Gunners buying players they do not need. The Gunners have once again brought in just one senior player, with midfielder Granit Xhaka joining earlier in the summer for £30m. Arsenal fans have once again derided their club’s lack of transfer activity but goalkeeper Cech agrees with the ‘philosophy’ of the club. Cech said “I think you need to be buy players you need, you need to buy players that will improve the team and not to buy players just for buying. “That’s the philosophy of the club. I’ve been here since last season and you can see that every time we bring in a player, it’s a player we need, and the manager believes he improves the team. “There is a core … [Read more...]
