Phil Scolari is a bad appointment for Chelsea according to the readers of Football Corner. In a recent poll on the website, where the choices were; bad, great, good or brilliant, an astonishing majority of 30% deemed him to be a bad successor of Avram Grant. The results were as follows;
Bad-145 (30%)
OK-119 (24%)
Good-102 (21%)
Brilliant-122 (25)
Total Votes 488
Personally I think that Chelsea could have gotten a better manager especially after the conclusion of Euro 2008. It probably would have been a big risk taking him on but Slaven Bilic is a good young aspiring manager who I think would have done well for The Blues.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Gunners line up £15 million unhappy United star !
Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are amongst the clubs looking to snatch up Newcastle striker Obafemi Martins as Kevin Keegan looks to give his transfer kitty a £15 million injection.
The Nigerian international came to Tyneside in 2006 from Inter Milan but because of an injury stricken few seasons the 23 year old has slightly failed in filling in the number 9 position after the exit of Alan Shearer. However he has still managed 20 goals in a little over 60 appearances for the Toon army giving them a decent return.
Kevin Keegan however is looking to offload the striker in an attempt to boost the club's transfer expenditure. Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are all thought to have an interest in the former Inter Milan striker despite his steep £15 million price tag.

Liverpool target £15 million Crouch replacement !
Liverpool are planning a player plus cash exchange between Peter Crouch and Tottenham's Robbie Keane according to reports in the News of the World today.
The Irish international has spent the majority of his career at White Hart Lane making nearly 200 appearances for the Londoners and bagging 80 goals in the process. The former Inter Milan striker has also earned himself the captaincy role with the Republic of Ireland due to his good form for Spurs.
Now it seems as though he has caught the eye of Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez and with Peter Crouch looking almost certain to make an exit this Summer Robbie Keane would be an ideal replacement for the 6' 7" striker.

Arsenal enter race to sign £20 million Liverpool target
Arsenal have today joined Liverpool in the race to sign Valencia winger David Silva after weeks of speculation about the Spaniards future. Silva has been told he can leave the Mestalla this summer due to financially difficulty at Valencia with Liverpool and Arsenal said to be very keen on bringing him to the Premier League.
The 22-year old is widely regarded as one of Europe's top class wingers and is likely to cost either side as much as £20 million. He is currently on duty at the European Championships where Spain meet Russia in the semi-finals tomorrow. He has made just under 100 appearances for Valencia during his four years at the club, scoring over a dozen goals in the process.
I personally would love to see a player like Silva come to the Premier League. He is a very talented young player who in my view can and will develop into a real star. I feel both Liverpool and Arsenal fans would be thrilled to see Silva at their club next season but who he will choose, I do not know.

Liverpool to splash £50 million on La Liga trio and Barry
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has today told the Anfield board that he wants £50 million to sign Dani Alves, David Villa, David Silva and Gareth Barry in order to challenge for the title next season. All four players have been linked with a move to Liverpool before and now Benitez wants to bring the quartet to the club.
Valencia's David Villa and David Silva have both been told they can leave the club due to bad debts at the Mestalla. Both players are believed to be interested in moves to the Premier League. Meanwhile Dani Alves has also been linked with England, but he was said to be close to joining Barcelona last week so Benitez may not get his man their.
Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry has been linked with Liverpool for weeks now as Villa boss Martin O'Neill continues to reject bids from the Reds. Barry has admitted he would love to play for the Merseyside club next season but wheter or not Villa let him go is another question. I personally feel all four players would be terrific acquisitions to Liverpool's squad and give them a real chance of challenging next season for major honours.

Spurs prepare £20 million bid for La Liga ace and Bent could make-way
Tottenham are today preparing a £20 million move for Valencia striker David Villa after weeks of speculation over the players future. Villa has impressed whilst on international duty with Spain at the European Championships leading to intense speculation that he may move to the Premier League.
Spurs boss Juande Ramos is keen to bring the 26-year old to White Hart Lane this summer as he looks to strengthen his side this summer. It is thought Ramos will sell striker Darren Bent for £8 million in order to fund some of the money to sign Villa, who has been told by his club Valencia that he may leave, if their asking price is met.
I personally feel Spurs would be more than capable of challenging for the top four next season if they managed to sign Villa. He is a tremendous talent who I am sure every club in Europe would love to sign. I do however feel Villa may be more tempted by the likes of Chelsea or Liverpool if they were to come in for him.

Gunners capture £13 million French star
Arsenal have today completed the signing of Marseille midfielder Samir Nasri after months of uncertainty over the players future. The French international admitted that he was interested in a move to the Premier League a few weeks ago leading Arsene Wenger to making a £13 million bid for him.
Nasri, 20, becomes Arsenal's second summer signing after Cardiff City striker Aaron Ramsey. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "At 21 years old his whole future is ahead of him and he has (quite) a margin for progressing further. "He has, in any case, the qualities needed to assert himself at the highest level." Nasri is likely to provide cover for Alexander Hleb who is likely to leave the Emirates in the next few weeks.
I personally feel Nasri is a quality signing, that will prove many people wrong who think he is overated. His skill on the ball is terrific and he is not afraid to shoot and at £13 million I think he will prove to be a superb signing by Arsene Wenger. I feel the Gunners just need one more striker now and they will have a terrific squad for next season.

Spurs target £10 million Robinson replcement
Tottenham are targeting PSV keeper Heurelho Gomes as a replacement for Paul Robinson whose exit from White Hart Lane is looking ever likelier.
Current Spurs shot stopper, Robinson has struggled to recover from some early season blips for both club and country even with a fairly eventless finish to the campaign. It seems he has lost the trust of a lot of the Spurs faithful and so an exit from the Lane this Summer looks quite likely.
One man who could come in to fill the gloves of Robinson is Heurelho Gomes of PSV. The Brazilian international has not only impressed on the European stage with the Dutch outfit but he also has 17 caps to his name for his national side. If the Londoners want Gomes though, he won't come cheap with the Eredivise side thought to be looking for £10 million for their number 1.

Unhappy Spurs target set for exit
German international, Lukas Podolski is almost certainly set for an exit away from Bayern Munich after speaking about the club underrating him.
Competing for places up front at Bayern with Miroslav Klose and Luca Toni, Podolski has struggled to make a huge impact since joining the club from FC Koln in 2006. However, despite his misfortune at the Allianz Arena the 23 year old has clearly proved himself on the international stage bagging 28 goals in just over 50 appearances for the German side.
Podolski is attending Euro 2008 with the Germans at the moment as they prepare for a heated semi final with competition underdogs Turkey, so it is unlikely that there will be any more advancements on his future before the conclusion of their campaign.
Juande Ramos is thought to be planning a move for the Bayern number 11 but it is thought that because of his good form at Euro 2008 his price tag could rise top somewhere in the region of £15 million.

Chelsea, Liverpool and United chase £15 million Dutch ace
Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are to spend the summer battling it out for SV Hamburg play maker Rafael Van Der Vaart. The Holland international impressed during his country's run to the quarter-final of the European Championships in Austria & Switzerland and it now looks likely that three of the Premier League best sides will battle for his signature. (News of the World)
Van Der Vaart, 25, has previously been linked with moves to England, with Chelsea said to be close to signing him before his move to Hamburg in 2005 from Dutch side Ajax. Phil Scolari, Rafa Benitez and Alex Ferguson are all willing to meet Hamburg's £15 million price-tag for Van Der Vaart although that fee may rise to £20 million.
New Hamburg boss Martin Jol is keen to hold onto Van Der Vaart but that appears unlikely now after the player rejected a contract a few months back. I personally would love to see Van Der Vaart in the Premier League. I feel he would be a perfect signing for United considering Cristiano Ronaldo's likely departure from the club.

Spurs to complete £4 million Serie A signing in "next few days" !
Fiorentina have said that a deal has been struck with Spurs which sees Mario Santana move to White Hart Lane.
The 26 year old has fallen out of favour at the club and so is looking for a move elsewhere. Fiorentina Sporting Director, Pantaleo Corvino, seems extremely confident that the move is in it's final stages,"I expect Santana to join Spurs within the next few days as he has been offered a three or four-year contract in London."
Juande Ramos bid of £4 million was more than enough to persuade the Serie A outfit to let Santana go. Corvino continued, "It is a figure that satisfies us because Santana does not feature in our plans for the 2008/09 season,".
The right winger has scored seven times in his two year spell with the Italian side and he has also made 7 appearances for the Argentine national team.

Liverpool turn attention away from Bentley and over to La Liga star !
Liverpool are supposedly ready to step up the chase to sign Valencia winger David Silva according reports in the Daily Mirror today.
The 22 year old is currently attending Euro 2008 with Spain, where his performances have obviously reignited Rafa Benitez' interest in the player after missing out on him last year. Although his form in front of goal doesn't look to promising, his services on either wing would surely be much appreciated at Anfield.
Personally as a Liverpool fan I think that signing a quality winger should be our number 1 goal for the Summer, and the likes of Silva or David Bentley would fit in perfectly in Rafa's regime.

Gunners star nears Barca move to clear way for French ace
Barcelona are today closing on the signing of Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb after weeks of speculation over the players future. Hleb has also been linked with Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich but it looks more and more likely today that Barca will be the ones to sign him.
Hleb, 27, had admitted that he couldn't settle in London after three years at the club and that led to intense speculation about the Belarus international's future. He has made over 100 appearances for the Gunners and Arsene Wenger was said to be disappointed to be losing Hleb. Barcelona vice-president Marc Ingla revealed on Catalunya Radio: "Barcelona's negotiations with Hleb are still in progress.
This move now clears the way for Marseille midfielder Samir Nasri to move to the Emirates after weeks of speculation over his future. The 20-year old is said to be very close to agreeing terms with the club which will see him join Arsenal for £12 million. I feel this move for Arsenal can only be good. Bringing in a terrific young talent like Nasri will quickly help the Arsenal faithful forget about Hleb.

Gunners look to beat Liverpool, Newcastle and Toffees to £12million Hleb replacement !
Arsenal are looking to sign Russian midfielder Andrei Arshavin according to reports in the Daily Mirror today.
The 27 year has played his whole professional career with Zenit Saint Petersburg. However he has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League for the last few seasons with Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and Everton all looking like possible destinations for the attacking midfielder.
Arsene Wenger is thought to be very keen to snatch up the £12 million rated Russian, especially with the rumoured exit of Alexander Hleb to Barcelona. It is extremely unlikely that a deal will be struck with any club before the end of Russia's Euro 2008 campaign, and the UEFA Cup Champions are thought to be very stubborn with their £12 million evaluation of the player.

Liverpool and United aces on brink of Italian exit
Italian side AS Roma are closing on the signings of both John Arne Riise and Louis Saha after weeks of speculation over both players future's. Liverpool defender Riise was told recently that he could leave Anfield this summer after a poor season at the club.
The 27-year old Norwegian, has also been linked with Aston Villa but it looks more and more likely now that he will join the Serie A giants within days. Meanwhile, Manchester United striker Louis Saha is also close to leaving to Premier League after he admitted he is likely to be sold this summer.
He has failed to nail down a first team spot at the club this season, with the terrific form of both Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney. The French international is to join Roma on loan first with a view to a permanent move. Both moves, in my view, are not at all surprising. Both Riise and Saha are simply average players that don't deserve to be playing for top teams like Liverpool and United and I feel both clubs will be better off without them.

Spurs and City chase £15 million Germanstar !
Spurs and Man City are supposedly eying up a move for on form German striker Lukas Podolski according to reports in the Express.
The 23 year old who is currently playing with Bayern Munich is thought to be one of Juande Ramos top Summer transfer targets. Although Podolski has struggled to cement a starting place in the Bayern side competing with Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose for a place in the strike force, he has clearly shown his capabilities with his national side.
In an interview with Express he said,"I have been informed about both clubs' interest...That is very interesting for me." The striker was thought to be worth about £10 million , however with his stunning performances in Euro 2008 that price could even rise to £15 million.

Villa close in on Sidwell opening door for Barry's Liverpool move !
Aston Villa have agreed a fee for Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell according to reports on Sky Sports today.
The 25 year old has had an awful time with the London club since completing his move there last year, making just 7 Premier League starts for the Champions League Runners Ups. However it was a successful move business-wise for Chelsea as they stand to make £5.5 million for the former Reading star, who they got on a free transfer.
Sidwell's move could be seen by some as a possible replacement for Gareth Barry whose £10 million exit to Liverpool is looking ever likelier. A good signing all the same as Martin O'Neill is looking to push into the top 6 next season.

Barca look to hijack Milan bid for Gunners ace
Barcelona are today planning to hijack AC Milan's bid to sign Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The Togo international has reportedly told Arsene Wenger he wants to leave the Emirates this summer following the failure to win any trophies last season. (Gazzetta Dello Sport)
The former Monaco striker has attracted the interests of both Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola with his terrific performances for the Gunners this season. The 24-year old scored 30 goals for Arsenal last season, impressing both fans and pundits in the process. Since his move from Monaco back in 2006 he has made just over 100 appearances for the London club.
Although I am not an Arsenal fan I personally hope Adebayor stays in the Premier League because he is a terrific player. He always has a smile on his face whilst playing and I am sure every Arsenal fan is hoping and praying that he stays at the club.

£35 million Liverpool QUARTET set for exit !
Liverpool quartet John Arne Riise, Peter Crouch, Xabi Alonso and Danny Guthrie could finally complete their moves away from Anfield in the next week or so with moves to Roma, Portsmouth, Juventus and Newcastle respectively looking on the cards.
Riise joined the Merseysiders in 2001 and has made nearly 250 appearances since his arrival bagging 21 goals in the process. The Norwegian has gradually drifted away from the Reds starting line up over the last few seasons and it is definitely time for the 27 year old to move on. His £5 million move to AS Roma looks set to be done and dusted later this week.
Peter Crouch's future at Anfield is currently hanging in the balance. Obviously out of favor last season especially with Rafa's one striker policy, Crouch is looking for regular first team football and although I'd say the majority of Reds fans would like to see him extend his time at the club, his international career will also start suffering because of the amount of time he spends in the Anfield dugout.
Xabi Alonso is the third player whose Liverpool career is in doubt, talks with Juventus are currently on going but a £17 million move could be completed after the conclusion of Spain's Euro 2008 campaign. And finally last seasons loanee Danny Guthrie could eventually make a permanent move away from Liverpool with Newcastle thought to be eying up the 21 year old in what could be a £1 million move.

Spurs, Liverpool and City to battle it out for £12 million England midfielder
Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City are to battle it out for Blackburn Rovers midfielder David Bentley after the player admitted he wanted to leave Ewood Park. The news comes days after Mark Hughes left the managers post at the club for one of the sides interested in him, Manchester City. (Various)
Bentley, 24, has admitted that he wants to play European football next season and the three sides in question will be doing so. Liverpool have been linked with the England international for some time now as Rafa Benitez looks to strengthen his side for a title challenge next season. All three managers are all willing to pay the rumoured £12 million price-tag.
I personally think Bentley will opt for Liverpool simply because they will be playing Champions League football next season. There is no doubt Bentley is an ambitious player and I feel Liverpool match his ambition although he may yet be tempted to reignite his relationship at City with Hughes.

Liverpool to tempt £22 million Spanish striker to Anfield
Liverpool will try to tempt Valencia and Spain striker David Villa to Anfield this summer, according to his Spanish team-mate Carlos Marchena. Villa has been linked with several Premier League clubs in recent weeks after scoring an impressive hat-trick for Spain at the European Championships. (Mail on Sunday)
The Valencia striker has been told he can leave the club after it was confirmed that Valencia will need to sell due to financial problems. That means that players like Villa and team-mate David Silva will be on their way out of the Mestalla this summer, alerting Premier League sides including Liverpool.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez is very keen to pair Villa with Fernando Torres in the Liverpool attack just like they do for Spain. It is thought Benitez will have to bid at least £22 million to have any chance of signing the 26-year old. I personally think Villa would suit Liverpool tremendously well and it would be amazing to see how the Villa-Torres partnership would work in England.

Former Chelsea boss targets Gunners striker
Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has today admitted his interest in bringing Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie to Inter Milan. Mourinho is said to have £50 million at his disposal to spend at the San Siro and his first target appears now to be Van Persie. (Corriere Dello Sport)
Van Persie, 24, has been at Arsenal for over three years now since joining from Dutch side Feyenoord. He has made 133 appearances for the Gunners scoring over 40 goals in the process. He is currently on duty with the Holland national side at Euro 2008, so any deal would have to wait until after the tournament ends.
I personally wouldn't be surprised to see Van Persie leave the Emirates this summer considering all the other players that appear to be leaving. There is no doubt Van Persie is a quality player and Arsene Wenger would obviously be keen to hold onto him but lets say if Inter did bid £20 million Wenger may not be able to resist.

I personally wouldn't be surprised to see Van Persie leave the Emirates this summer considering all the other players that appear to be leaving. There is no doubt Van Persie is a quality player and Arsene Wenger would obviously be keen to hold onto him but lets say if Inter did bid £20 million Wenger may not be able to resist.

Scolari looks to bring £20 million Madrid ace to the Bridge
Luiz Felipe Scolari has targeted Real Madrid striker Robinho as one of his first signings when he takes the reins at Stamford Bridge on the 1st of July. Robinho has been linked with several moves to the Premier League in recent months with Manchester United also said to be interested. (Daily Star)
The Brazilian international has failed to show his true potential at the Bernabeu since moving from Santos back in 2005. He has made over 130 appearances for the La Liga giants, scoring just over 30 goals in the process. Scolari has previously worked with the 24-year old whilst coach of the Brazil national team and he is said to be keen to restart the relationship at Chelsea.
It is likely that Chelsea will have to bid at least £20 million for the Samba star, a figure that Chelsea could easily meet. It has been rumoured that Scolari may have as much as £100 million to spend and his first signing may yet bet Robinho, although others have also been linked with a move to the London club.

United to bid £25 million for Spurs striker
Manchester United are today preparing a £25 million bid for Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov. The Bulgarian international has been linked with numerous exits from White Hart Lane already this summer as his future at the club looks more and more in doubt. (The Sun)
Berbatov, 27, has attracted the attentions of some of Europe's top clubs including AC Milan and Barcelona, but is thought now that Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to steal a march on his rivals. Berbatov has been at Spurs since 2006, scoring 46 goals in that time. Spurs boss Juande Ramos has admitted he doesn't feel as though Berbatov would be with the North London club come next season.
I personally think Dimitar would be a tremendous signing for United. He is without doubt one of the Premier League's best striker and has amazed how well he has settled in England over these past two years. I feel it is vital United start planning for life after Cristiano Ronaldo now because they want to have a strong squad in place for when the Portuguese star eventually leaves.

Liverpool to challenge United for £30 million Madrid star
Liverpool are to challenge Manchester United for Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos after the player admitted he would be interested in a move to the Premier League should the chance present itself. (FootyLatest.com)
The Spanish international is currently on duty at the European Championships in Austria & Switzerland. Ramos, 22, was last week linked with a move to United as part of a possible deal which would see Cristiano Ronaldo head the other way.
It is now thought that Rafa Benitez will not let United have it easy in the race to sign the £30 million rated defender. Ramos is widely regarded as one of Europe's best defenders and it is understood Real won't let him go cheap if he is to leave.
I personally would love to see Ramos move to the Premier League. He is a very exciting defender who I feel will develop into one of the worlds best defenders wherever he ends up. I would favour United in the race, simply because I only think Real will let him go if they manage to buy Ronaldo.

Spurs to move for Brazilian keeper to replace Robinson
Tottenham have targeted PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Herelho Gomes as a solution to their problems in that position. The Brazilian international has caught the attentions of Spurs boss Juande Ramos, so much so he is ready to make a bid for the player. (Daily Mirror)
Gomes, 27, has been with the Dutch giants PSV for over four years now making over 120 appearances in the process. He is widely regarded as one of the best keepers playing in Europe at the moment and he has been linked with several of Europe's top clubs in recent months.
Gomes is my view is a terrific keeper that would be more than capable of filling the number one spot at White Hart Lane. I would personally value Gomes at around the £8 million mark and I feel Spurs would be much better off with him. This will almost certainly end Paul Robinson's spell at the North London club, with Middlesbrough thought to be interested.

Gunners striker eager to leave the club
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has today admitted he is eager for a move away from the club, with rumoured interest from AC Milan. The Gunners top scorer last season, is just one of many players in the Arsenal ranks who have or want to leave the club this summer. (Daily Telegraph)
Adebayor, 24, joined the club back in 2006 from French side Monaco. He has since then proved to be a terrific signing by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, scoring just under 50 goals in two years at the club. AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti is desperate to bring the Togoles striker to the San Siro.
I personally hope this is not true because without Adebayor, the Premier League would certainly be worse off. He is a terrific striker who has established himself as a firm fan favourite at the club in the previous two years and I am sure every Gunners fan wants him to be at the club next season.

Liverpool ace nears £14 million exit
Liverpool have today reached an agreement with Italian giants Juventus over the signing of Xabi Alonso. The player has been linked with a move to Juve for some time now and a £14 million deal has been reached between both parties.
Alonso, 26, has failed to feature regularly in Rafa Benitez' starting eleven this season, Javier Mascherano being preferd on most occasions. The former Real Scoiedad man had spent four seasons at the Premier League club, making over 100 appearances in the process.
It will be sad to see Alonso leave the Premier League, although no one can really blame him. He has been a terrific servant to the Reds and I am sure every Liverpool fan can appreciate that. Juventus are receiving a fantastic midfield player in Alonso and I feel £14 million is a fair deal for both parties involved.
