PSG TO MAKE MBAPPE THE WORLD HIGHEST PAID PLAYER

PSG realise the value of the 23-year-old to their misession, as perhaps the best player in the world for years to come, and are ready to propose the kind of contract not yet seen in the game. PSG has been rumoured to pay him a basic wage closer to £1m a week. Real Madrid, who Mbappe is greatly eager to join, would not be able to get close to such an offer. Some of Mbappe's family and posse had scheduled meetings with PSG on Wednesday, the day after his match-winning display against the Spanish club. In that meeting, the staleness of the Madrid team compared to PSG was remarked upon.

 Madrid's president Florentino Perez, who was angry with the nature of his teams performance and contemplating replacing Carlo Ancelotti with Mauricio Pochettino is currently banking on Mbappe re-igniting the whole club. Nothing is as yet approved with Madrid, though, and the player and his camp are at least generous to evaluating PSG's offer. His contract runs out this summer, and he could already sign a deal with another club now, but has so far left his options open.

ERLING BRAUT HAALAND: The Wonderkid!!!

I'll start by saying Happy New Year to everyone. I've been a while from this site for far to long and well i guess you favorite writer is back. Okay!, A lot things has gone down since i last posted here with Liverpool still unbeaten in the league and are 22 points clear of 2nd placed city. Barcelona has sacked Ernesto Valverde and employed the relatively unknown Quique Setien. But the most astonishing that happened in which i'll like to discuss about is the emergence of Erling Braut Haaland. The Norwegian Teenage that set Europe alight.

The Wonderkid

Erling Haaland is the son of former Manchester City Player Alfe Inge Haaland in the Millenium, H e began his ascendency into the lime light in 2016 when he joined the Norwegian Team Bryne FK in his home town before moving to Molde FK. In January 2019, Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg picked him up on a 5 years contract. and at that moment, The Fairy tale began.

Haaland with Current Manchester United Boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer at Molde in 2018.

Haaland first caught the world's eye in a FIFA U-20 world Cup game against Honduras where he scored 9 goals in that game as the young Norwegians ran out 12-0 winners. That was breathe taking. a Teenager banging 9 goals in a single game!!!. Erling would end up winning the Golden Boot as Norway crashed out of the group stage. He made 3 appearances and scored  his Golden Boot winning goals all in 90 minutes.

Erling at the U-20 world cup in 2019. He won the golden boot

After the U-20 world cup, Erling  set the whole of Europe on Fire. breezing trough the Austrian Bundesliga and Europe breaking and setting Records. In his first campaign in the Champions league, The 19 year old became the 3rd teenager to score on his debut, The 2nd Teenager to score Hat-trick on his debut, First player to score in his first 5 games and many more records. in the Austrian Bundesliga he scored 17 times in 16 games. Al this was rewarded with a Norwegian first team Call up. a 6 feet 3 inches goal poacher that he is, he's a great goal scorer. a proven and competent one.

Erling moved from Salzburg to Borussia Dortmund for a supposed fee of 20 million euros. in 4 games, he has racked 8 goals. The Question on everyone's mind is "Can he be this consistent every season or he's just a Fairytale wonderkid???.

let's know your opinion in the Comment session below!!!!!

5 unexpected Deadline Day transfers.

The European Transfer Window came to a close yesterday. Well, Teams Definitely did some late minute spending. This summer transfer window has been a money spree one. Even the deadline day was so busy. But we'll  be looking at 5 umexpected Deadline Day transfers.


Timoune Bakayoko; Chelsea to Monaco

Chelsea has a really slim squad this season. And loaning out players should not be considered as an option because Frank Lampard is going to need the Squad Depth. What's more unexpected about this Loan move is that, just a month ago, He was on PSG's Radar. We all thought if he was to move from Chelsea, He'll head back to Milan or Paris bit definitely back home to Monaco.


Radamel Falcao; Monaco to Galatasaray

Radamel Falcao swapped Sunny sea side Monaco for Istanbul. Well, the unexpected in this transfer is the fact that Falcao seems to be forgotten. The Colombian has not been in the spotlight for a very  Long while. So it kind of seem surprising of his move to Galatasaray. Great move for his Career, He will come in Handy in Turkey.


Henrikh Mkhitaryan; Arsenal to AS Roma

The Gunners loaned out the Inconsistent Armenian to Rome yesterday. Henrikh being an important first team member of Arsenal is really surprising to find out about his loan move to Roma. But the plus side is the Gunners will be able to play their young stars more often.

Mauro Icardi; Internazionale to PSG

The Controversial player heads to a controversial Club. Inter Milan finally found an interesting suitor for Mauro and decided to loan him to Paris with an option to buy. This is a big break for Mauro and a chance to start a New Chapter in another Classic city. Best of luck Mauro & we hope Wanda doesn't mess it up for you.

Naylor Navas;  Real Madrid to PSG

For €13 million only, Real sold their only decent goal keeping back up option. When we thought keylor will get more playing time because Thaibut refuses to close his legs. Not a smart move for Madrid but it's a plus for Naylor. He'll definitely be picked ahead of Alphonse Areola and his experience will come in Handy for the Parisians.

Another Magical Night in Istanbul; a Liverpool Perspective.

History as they say do repeat itself. Last Night, Liverpool came out Victorious in the Fashion similar to what they did In that Same city In 2005. 14 years apart but the cascade of events seems very Similar. It was Like it was Happening all over again but this time around, History decided to alter the some details.

Throwback to the Champions League Final of 2005. A poor performance from Liverpool gave Milan a 3 goal Half time lead. One for Paolo Maldini and 2 for Hernan Crespo. Liverpool dressing room was said to be gloomy that even Rafa Benitez unknowingly wanted to field 12 players but thanks to Jaime Carragher for bringing him to reality, that didn't happen. We know how the second half went, Liverpool equalized 3-3 and went on to win The Game 4-3 on penalties.

The Man of the Hour was Jerzey Dudek, As he saved a Andriy Shevchenko's Paneka to win the game for the scousers.

Last night was no different. Adrian San Miguel stepped up to save Tammy Abraham's Penalty to win the game for Liverpool 5-4. But this time around, The Tournament was the UEFA Super Cup & not the Champions League.

A frustrating First half & then a comeback in the Second half. Followed by some extra time drama before Adrian Saved the day. We could say Istanbul is really a Magical place for Liverpool on European Nights.

From Barcelona to Stoke City; What went Wrong for Bojan Krkic?

From scoring 900+ goals for Barcelona's youth Set Up to getting Relegated with Stoke City to the Championships. We look at the highlight of once a promising talent of Bojan Krkic.


Born in August 1990 to Bojan Krkic & Maria Perez in Catalonia. Bojan Krkic Jnr was admitted into Barcelona's famed La Masia Academy in 1999. Quite impressive did he grow as a Player that he outclipped Messi to be the youngest player to play for Barcelona as at 2008 (Now the 3rd youngest ever) when he came on to play against Osasuna. The following game would see Bojan make his Champions League Debut while replacing Lionel Messi in a Game at Lyon. Bojan Would however make his first start against Villareal and marked it with a goal. He is the youngest player ever to Score for Barcelona.


Compared because of his style of play with Lionel Messi And also because of both of them Sporting the same haircut. Bojan was called up to link up with the Spanish Squad ahead of the 2008 Euros in which he declined stating he had mental unrest. Truth be told, Bojan was dealing anxiety. He just couldn't cope with how things were moving too fast for the 17 year old.

Spain won the Euro's in 2008.

Spain eventually w/o  the Euro's that year and Bojan was left rueing about a missed oppurtunity. But not someone to hold into the past, Bojan Continued to dominate with FC Barcelona as they conquered Spain and Europe winning Sextuple. However, Things took a turn for the youngster with the arrival of David villa.  Bojan was forced to look elsewhere for playing time. AS Roma came calling and which Bojan duely obliged. He was loaned to Roma from Barcelona.


Bojan racked up 7 goals in as many games for Roma but wasn't enough for the Giallarossi to trigger his release Clause for €24.5M. The next season, Krkic Bojan was Shipped off to A.C. Milan on Loan. He got the ground Running in Milan also but the Rosonneri didn't think he'll be Good enough. The following season, Bojan was loaned out to Ajax Amsterdam. Scoring only 5 goals. Bojan was not impressive to the Dutch side.

Purchased by Stoke City from Barcelona for £1.4M. Bojan had an interesting start to life in England. Scoring the winners against Arsenal, Everton and Tottenham in his first Season. But Bojan still wasn't able to make an impression enough in his 5 years stay with the potters. He was Shipped out to Slaves before his Contract ran out with the Midlands Club.

Now aged 29, Bojan has signed For MLS Canadian  side Montreal Impact. He hasn't really been that lucky in his Career but he'll be hoping to start a New Chapter of his Life far away in the New World.

West Ham vs Manchester City: The game was as expected, Manchester City controlled the game from the starting whistle to the final whistle. Man City had the most possessions, shot on target, shots, touches, passes, tackles, clearance, man city attacked so well they had the most offside. Sterling and Mahrez were the star man. An absolute game of attacking Prowess.

Bournemouth vs Sheffield Utd: This is a shocking game as Bournemouth was expected to win the game. Bournemouth were a little disappointing, though they had the most possessions, most touches and most passes, they also had most shots with 13 but had only 3 of it on target the same with Sheffield. It was a good performance by Sheffield considering they just joined the Premier league since the 2006/7 season.

Burnley vs Southampton: this is one of those games where one team is the attacking force and the other team is the one that scored all the goals. Yeah, Southampton controlled the game for most of the game but their strikers weren’t clinical enough in the final third, while Burnley struggled but their strikers were on fire, they took almost every chance they got, not the performance Burnley wanted but this is a case of “THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS”.

WATFORD VS BRIGHTON
Vintage road was the venue as a decent & determined Brighton beat the hornets 3 goals to nil in the presence of the watching Watford Faithfuls. Abdoulaye Doucoure’s first half own goal gave Brighton the lead but Brighton had to wait for the second half for the moment of brilliance to happen. It took two super subs in Florian Andone and Neal Maupay to steal 3 points. A neat montoya's cross located Andone who tapped it in the bottom corner as Lewis dunk pass from his own half found Maupay who rounded up Forster before slotting it home. WATFORD threatened and Brighton responded with Lewis dunk block on Craig Dawson’s shot. Graham potter’s side was the better side of the encounter.

Tottenham welcomed Aston Villa to the white heart Lane in a thrilling 4 goal encounter. Aston villa took the early lead in the 7th minute after a quick counter from a misplaced pass as John Mcginn slot it past Hugo Lloris.

Spurs scored minutes later as Harry Kane was found the net after a poor villa clearance. A 3rd was scored in Added time as Mauricio Pochettino’s side kicked of their campaign with a flying start.

CRYSTAL PALACE VS EVERTON
Jordan Pickford was the man of the hour as he made 2crucial saves to help Everton salvaged a point. The English goalie denied both Jordan Ayew and Max Meyer in the second half as Morgan Schnerderlin sees Red for Everton. Everton dictated Possesion and Gylfi Sigurdsson had an effort cleared of the line in the first half. Wilfred Zaha was introduced in the 65th minute to a warm applause from the palace fans for the Ivorian who handed a transfer request days ago. Marcos Silva and Roy Hodsgon both shared the pools as the game ended in a goal less draw.

Newcastle 0-1 Arsenal:
