One of the most sought after free agents this summer, Joe Cole has yet to make his mind up over which club to sign for. Cole has said that he wants to play for a manager who loves him as well as find somewhere where he will get regular playing time, preferably in the centre of midfield and somewhere that will pay his wage demands. They are certainly a lot of requests to fulfil and it’s going to be difficult for Cole to find a club that can guarantee all of those requirements, certainly in England. However a foreign club may be able to meet his demands better and perhaps a move abroad could see Cole really thrive in another league.

The battle for his signature in England appears to have come down to three teams, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham with several pros and cons to joining each of them. Liverpool are a big club but it’s unknown just how competitive they are going to be next season, Arsenal are also a big club but Cole probably won’t have guaranteed first team football. Finally Spurs probably could guarantee first team football but almost certainly won’t be challenging for the Premiership. The clubs themselves will also be taking a risk on Cole as he has endured some very injury prone years at Chelsea, his wage demands are said to be at least £80,000 a week and he is 28-years-old. It could take some lengthy negociations before Cole is able to sign a deal that suits both parties.

Joe Cole could also have some options and possibly better ones in other leagues, his best bet would probably be Italy as in Spain, it’s doubtful that the big two of Barcelona or Real Madrid would make a move for him. Although as Jose Mourinho knows him very well from their time together at Chelsea it wouldn’t be unthinkable that he could offer him a surprise deal. However were that to be the case, there is no way he would be a regular at Madrid with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka in the team. Valencia are believed to be interested in Cole’s services but their financial struggles pretty much rule them out of the picture, if he was looking for an ambitious project then Sevilla could be an option. They have Champions League football next season and were previously league contenders not so long ago, however they probably aren’t a big enough club for him.

Continue reading on page 2

This leaves Italy and AC Milan are believed to be Cole’s biggest suitors, they have apparently already offered him a deal but it is said be worth just £60,000 a week. On the other hand they have guaranteed him a starting role in his favoured central midfield position. Inter Milan haven’t been linked with a move for Cole but new manager Rafa Benitez will know all about his time at Chelsea, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them make him an offer. Juventus need another wide player in their midfield and Cole would be a fantastic signing for them, personally as a Juve fan I would love to see Cole pull on the black and white shirt but I just don’t see it happening.

Although there are potential moves abroad lined up for Cole, I believe that he will stay in England as I don’t think he has the bottle to try his luck abroad. However very few players do today, and when you look at what has happened to the likes of Michael Owen and Jermaine Pennant it would be hard to blame Cole for not moving abroad. It would be a shame though as his game would suit a foreign league very well, both La Liga and Serie A aren’t as physical as the Premiership so he would have less chance of picking up another injury. La Liga is a fast paced league and Cole as a quick player would have no problem adapting; Serie A whilst some people call it ‘slow’ is a very technical league and as he is a very skilful and technical player those attributes would serve him well in Italy.

Whether Joe Cole will stay in England or moves abroad remains to be seen, but it would be nice to see an English player succeed abroad, especially as Cole is probably one of the very few who could make it.

Which club do you think would be best for Joe Cole?

Last month, Arsenal were among a host of Premier League clubs rumoured to be weighing up a bid for Brighton defender Lewis Dunk.

Following numerous injuries to the clubs defenders, the 19 year old defender has become an integral part of a Brighton side that has thus far excelled itself in the Champonship this season. An uncompromising centre back that looks set to have a big future in the game.

Now, after 13 impressive appearances this season, both Spurs and Man City are said to have joined the race for the youngster, with at least £5 million expected to be necessary to persuade Brighton to part with the talented youngster.

Money talks, and if a big club or big clubs were to come in for Dunk in January Brighton would almost certainly be powerless to keep the player, as manager Gus Poyet has already accepted, ‘He is going to play in the Premier League that is something I cannot control.’

It should asked however, what is in the best interests of Dunk? Many a footballer has been touted as the next big thing, got that ‘dream’ move to a top club, only to then see their career stall as first team opportunities are limited.

The importance of choosing the right club is paramount to whether a player will make it. Take two of Dunk’s supposed suitors, Arsenal and Manchester City. If Dunk were to move to North London, one thing that could be guaranteed is that he would be given a chance by Arsene Wenger, at a club so deeply grounded in youth development. Indeed, if he were to move from Brighton, his career may not stall.

Yet, let’s say Dunk gets his move in January not to Arsenal but instead to Manchester City, surely the chance of him getting his chance would be exceptionally slim? The sad fact is, the highest bidder for a youngster is where they would likely end up, whether that is the best place for him or not.

For many, the best possible scenario for the youngster will be at least another season at Brighton, first team football at any level is vital and the Championship is an exceptionally competitive and talented league. If Dunk is allowed to finish his footballing education at Brighton, he will be far better placed to fashion a long and successful career and avoid being another talented youngster thrown on the scrapheap.

Birmingham City will hope to shake off a Carling Cup hangover when they play Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday.Birmingham stunned Arsenal 2-1 at Wembley to win the Carling Cup on February 27. It was just the second piece of major silverware in the Midlands club’s history – their only other success came in the same competition way back in 1963.But they suffered a damaging 3-1 loss at home to local rivals West Bromwich Albion in their first match back in league action and remain in danger of souring their cup final triumph with relegation to the Championship.Next up is a trip to Merseyside to face an inconsistent but dangerous Everton. David Moyes’ team accounted for FA Cup holders Chelsea with a penalty shootout win on February 26, then conspired to lose to second tier Reading in the fifth round last week. Everton’s league form has also been patchy, but they have won their last two matches, 2-0 at home to Sunderland and 2-1 away to Newcastle.While they are unlikely to be dragged into the relegation battle, Moyes will be eager to increase the six-point gap between 10th-placed Everton and Birmingham in 18th on 30 points with two matches in hand. The visitors will be without defender Scott Dann for the remainder of the season with a hamstring injury, while midfielders Alexander Hleb, Barry Ferguson and Craig Gardner are all in doubt.Everton have fewer concerns, with only midfielders Marouane Fellaini and Tim Cahill ruled out. In the absence of two of their key men, Everton are likely to rely even more on Spanish playmaker Mikel Arteta, who impressed in the win at Newcastle.”I thought he (Arteta) was outstanding, absolutely outstanding,” Everton assistant coach Steve Round said.”He was creative, he was elusive, he could have created three or four goals and it was a terrific performance.””We moved him to the left for tactical reasons because we thought he might get more space and it worked, he delivered.””I think you have seen Mikel steadily over the last six weeks improving his performance.””He is really starting to come through again, whether you play him in the middle, on the right or the left. If he’s in that form he is unstoppable.”

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been financially constrained over the last decade because of the club’s move from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium. But many argue that it is now time for the Gunners to splash some cash in order to take them onto the next step.

Do Arsenal need to make some big money transfers to become serious challengers for silverware, or will the fitness of players like Robin van Persie determine Arsenal’s success next year?

The north London side’s fans were left to rue van Persie’s injury woes of last season and left to speculate on what might have been if the Dutchman had stayed healthy. Van Persie got injured on Novermber 14 2009 whilst on international duty with the Netherlands and did not return until the 2-1 loss against Tottenham at White Hart Lane…not even Serbian therapist Mariana Kovacevic’s miracle horse placenta cure was enough to get him fit sooner.

Last season the 26-year-old only played 16 games in the Premier League, but still managed to score nine goals in that time whilst creating seven goals via assists.

That season Arsenal faltered during a so-called ‘easy run’ when they were billed as Manchester United’s biggest threat to the title after Chelsea blew a big lead and seemed spent after their 1-1 draw with Blackburn at Ewood Park. But Arsenal failed to capitalise on their kind run of fixtures and dropped points against the likes of Birmingham, Tottenham, Wigan, Manchester City and Blackburn.

The poor run left Arsenal 11 points behind eventual Premier League champions Chelsea, but many Gunners fans argue that if van Persie and captain Cesc Fabregas (picked up an injury near end of season) would have stayed fit they could have achieved so much more.

As it is the Emirates outfit have not won any silverware since the 2005 FA Cup and if truth be told you cannot rely on the fitness of someone as injury prone as van Persie. This is why Arsenal must increase their squad’s depth this summer, so that when RvP decides to take his customary mid to late season holiday they may have a 15-20 striker in reserve this time.

Their fans will argue that a goalkeeper and the defence will have to be addressed as a matter of priority, but surely a big name striker could also work wonders?

Should they decide to cash in on Fabregas then Arsene Wenger would have more funds at his disposal and could even go some way to replace his captain for free if he wins the race to sign out of contract star Joe Cole.

The press has reported that Arsenal are set to spend a total of £30m on the likes of Phil Jagielka, Steven Pienaar, Mark Schwarzer and Laurent Koscielny. Whilst these are all good players and would fill some of the squad’s deficiencies, are they good enough or big enough names for a club like Arsenal?

I doubt whether they will be enough to usurp the rivals Chelsea and Manchester United, whilst Manchester City and Tottenham also seek to improve.

What do the Arsenal fans think? Do you want some changes at the club, or are the current squad good enough if they stay fit?

The Europa League isn’t the useless parody of the Champions League it once was. With Tottenham unlikely to replicate a similar near-title challenge as they did last season, the club may be well-suited to launch a genuine assault on this European trophy.

At the moment, there’s simply too much weighing against Tottenham and another pre-February run in the league like they had last season. Their form was facilitated by some very good football from their themselves, but also due to the horrendous and unpredictable form of their nearest rivals. Now, however, those clubs have strengthened significantly and Spurs could find themselves in another tough battle for a top-four finish.

It would be extremely disappointing if Tottenham dismissed the Europa League in favour of a good finish in the league; they have a very good opportunity to land a trophy whose reputation is growing, and really, does anyone expect them to challenge for the title this season?

The sacrifice may come in the league, where Tottenham would likely lose out on a top-four spot if they performed well in European competition. But despite the financial benefits Champions League football brings, is it worth it throw away the prospect of a very realistic trophy come May?

Without Champions League football going into next season, Spurs have done a good job of landing a young and ambitious manager, one who was once highly thought of in England. The club have bought in two very good players in Jan Vertonghen and Gylfi Sigurdsson, and any possible proceeds from a Luka Modric sale would surely be reinvested. The club now have a manager who has shown his worth in this competition with Porto, and the team are not far off from being a genuine threat to other major clubs in the tournament.

Tottenham are hardly a major contender in the Premier League, despite what Harry Redknapp says—their budget simply doesn’t allow them to be a consistent close rival to the Manchester clubs or Chelsea. Instead, Tottenham have done extremely well in cup competitions in recent years, reaching two Carling Cup finals and last year’s FA cup semifinal. What was most promising is that on the whole (and discounting Juande Ramos’ time at the club) Spurs have found a good balance between cup commitments and the necessity to finish as high as possible in the league.

The battle they had with Manchester City a few seasons ago for fourth place is unlikely to be repeated, as City are now firmly above fighting for just a top-four place. It was also hugely disappointing for the club last season to finish in a spot that didn’t guarantee Champions League football, but again, are we likely to see them as close to the genuine title contenders over the next season?

Instead, Spurs need to continue to increase their global brand beyond being just a good English side and Champions League hopefuls. By landing the Europa League this season the club can continue to make a name for themselves on the continent, helping to attract a wider market of players and sponsorships.

It can sometimes be infuriating that the current generation of football fans consider Champions League qualification to be the highest achievement if a league title is out of reach. Again, the income from Europe’s top competition makes it seem worthwhile, but a trophy is still a great marker for a club and an important stepping stone.

Harry Redknapp may not have seen much worth in the Europa League last season, and perhaps rightly so. But the competition drew a large audience due to it’s knockout round matches and Tottenham should look to take advantage.

The club’s budget for now will keep them firmly on the borders of Champions League and Europa League football. But Spurs are good enough to spread their ambition to more than just a good league finish. The club have the resources to win the Europa League, and it would be an excellent step forward for both the club and English football if they were to do so.

Chelsea have published a statement detailing the difficulties behind expansion at Stamford Bridge, and have admitted that although they have not decided on a stadium move, if they do choose to leave their current home it will be for a site within three miles.

Andre Villas Boas’ side have a smaller capacity at their home ground than their Premier League title rivals, and are exploring the opportunity to build a new arena for the club’s supporters.

However, with renovation work on Stamford Bridge the ideal choice, the side have revealed the obstacles stopping them from doing this.

“The club has reports and studies from as early as 2003/04 on various aspects of a redevelopment of the stadium and has spent a considerable amount of time and money in looking at various aspects of a redevelopment,” a statement on the official website reads.

“The bottom line is a redevelopment adding a significant number of seats needs a site of 16 to 18 acres or more, and at Stamford Bridge there are less than 12 acres.

“The club has worked with several architects firms looking for ways to redevelop each of the four stands at Stamford Bridge to increase capacity.

“The club believes that by 2020 all available sites within three miles will have gone.

“If we are unable to secure one of those sites, and did eventually decide that leaving Stamford Bridge would be in the best interests of the club and its fans, then sites further afield than three miles may be the only option.

“The club’s objective is to remain at Stamford Bridge or move to a new stadium within three miles,” it concluded.

A new arena would be a huge outlay in Roman Abramovich’s millions, but in the long run would reap financial reward through increased attendances.

By Gareth McKnight

[ad_pod id=’unruly-2′ align=’left’]

Sickening, isn’t it? You dream and push yourself as a child, hoping to be good enough to maybe once pull on the colours of your favourite team, and walk out in front of a packed house. Then, at age nine, you see your Scout team lose 9-1, and you realise that you are never going to reach that elite level.

Think then, just how incredible it is to be good enough to compete in two sports at a high level, and finding such people is not at all easy (as I have found out!) Whether it is giving up a football career to chase another dream, or using another outlet to pursue that winning feeling, I present to you ten players to have lived the dream.

This group of talented individuals have been able supplement (mostly) successful careers with appearances in a variety of different other sporting environments. From an Olympic gold medalist to a Norwegian chess champion, from an international poker star to a BBC breakfast host, these ten players have been able to enjoy two tastes of sport at the highest level. Don’t hate them too much.

With the arrival of Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid he was always going to be linked with his former players. It is reported that he is particularly interested in the likes of Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole and would love to bring the pair from Stamford Bridge to the Santiago Bernabeu.

I doubt Lampard would leave for Spain now that he is with that Christine Bleakley off of the One Show and he is firmly settled at the club. But Cole is a different case all together and it isn’t out of the question that he could leave west London for pastures new.

Some quarters of the press suggest that Mourinho is desperate to get his hands on the left-back, so Chelsea could stand to make quite a profit over any potential transfer and there are many reasons why a deal could suit all parties concerned.

Firstly, the ever popular Cole is troubled and has had ongoing problems in his private life. Unfortunately for him his ex Cheryl Cole happens to be much loved by the nation and he could avoid a backlash over his divorce by getting away from it all in sunny Spain. Many may argue that this shouldn’t affect performances, but last season we saw John Terry have lapses in concentration because of the attention focused on him after revelations over his private life.

Secondly, Chelsea may want to use the left-back in a potential deal for long-term target Kaka, who has not had the best of times in Madrid, but Carlo Ancelotti got the best out of the player during their time together in Serie A with AC Milan and Roman Abramovich may see him as the sort of player who can help with the club that elusive Champions League (a competition that they’ve had some bad luck in). The club’s interest in Kaka has divided Chelsea’s fans as some argue that the player is a major risk and not worth going for if it would mean losing Cole, who they regard as being the best left fullback in world football and he certainly enjoyed a great season with the club winning an historic double. But others argue that passing up a player of Kaka’s quality off the back of one poor season would be incredibly foolish if he was available and would trust Ancelotti’s judgement if he wanted the player.

As good as the man nicknamed ‘Cashley’ is there are question marks over his loyalty. During his time at Chelsea’s rivals Arsenal he was caught up in a tapping up storm, he claimed that he almost crashed his car after being told Arsenal were only offering him £55,000-a-week and his controversial book upset many at his former club Arsenal and their fans. However, I believe he was undervalued at Arsenal and that isn’t the case at Chelsea, so I doubt he will leave west London with any bad feelings for them.

My final point is that Cole is not irreplaceable as the squad also possesses Yuri Zhirkov, who came to Stamford Bridge last summer for the sum of £18 million and after a slow start (due to injuries) he impressed during the absence of Cole during his injury layoff. In my opinion it is a waste of time to leave an £18 million player on the bench and it is doubtful he will usurp Florent Malouda (one of Chelsea’s top performers of their double winning season) of his position.

The only downside to any potential deal for the troubled defender is that Cole may not be able to play his natural game under Mourinho. At Chelsea he enjoys an attacking reign down their left flank, but the Special One prefers that his fullbacks do not cross the halfway line.

The season has barely started and already criticism in some quarters is suggesting that Jamie Carragher should not only be benched, but that he should retire. Carragher is not getting any younger at the age of 33, but he still has a lot to offer Liverpool, and deserves more respect than he has been shown in the last few weeks.

Carragher is Mr. Liverpool, he has been an ever present over the past decade, and one of the most consistent and reliable performers for Liverpool during this period, so this knee jerk reaction to his start to the season is uncalled for.

Carragher gave away the penalty-which on another day might not have been given-which saw Liverpool lose a tight game to Stoke, and he made an uncharacteristic mistake which saw them lose their clean sheet against Bolton, but he has been solid throughout Liverpool’s league games so far. As a defender your mistakes are always magnified, so you are more likely to come in for criticism than those up the field ahead of you. This seems a little unfair as other players could be equally to blame for Liverpool’s performances so far this season, yet Carragher is taking the majority of the flak.

Carragher’s still has a lot to offer Liverpool, his positioning is still excellent, and he is still a top tackler, he is also a leader on the field, and this is vital to Liverpool particularly in the absence of Steven Gerrard. Those suggesting that his legs are gone and that he is lacking pace, seem deluded as pace isn’t something he has ever possessed. The same goes for criticism of his distribution, again he has always been more of a hoofer, he has never possessed the passing skills of Xabi Alonso, and he takes a safety first approach. Playing Carragher alongside Daniel Agger who possesses pace and excellent distribution skills is the perfect foil to this.

[ad_pod id=’unruly-2′ align=’centre’]

It would be criminal to suggest that Martin Skrtel, Agger or Sebastien Coates are better than Carragher, but it might not be too long before they become the better option. However, at this time Liverpool should stick with Carragher. He has been consistently better than Skrtel over the last few seasons, unfortunately Agger is injured more often than not, and Coates is still young with plenty to learn, and will no doubt benefit from learning alongside the experienced Carragher. Carragher’s role will inevitably decrease as time goes by, but just like Giggs at United, Carragher can still do a fine job at the club. He has plenty to offer the reds, and his experience will be very beneficial to the youngsters at the club.

To be fair to Carragher he hasn’t started any of the last few seasons that well, but by the end he has been a rock in Liverpool’s defence. He was heavily criticised at the beginning of both last season and 2009, but he responded brilliantly over the rest of the year, and the criticism soon dissipated. He certainly doesn’t deserve to be dropped based on one or two errors in the opening five games. Nobody will be more upset about making mistakes than Carragher himself, but if he puts in a few good performances the criticism will soon disappear.

Of course there is no room for sentiment in football, but the judgement that he is only playing because he is a club legend is harsh, and Kenny Dalglish has been quick to state that he is picked on merit. He is seemingly just the scapegoat of the moment, and just because he is over 30 and makes a mistake it shouldn’t mean that he is past it.

Ultimately, Carragher will know himself when it is time to stand aside or retire. Nobody deserves their place on past glories, and he may not be the player he was a few years back, but he is still a first choice, and deserves much more respect for everything he has given and brought to the club than he is currently receiving.

Do you think the criticism of Carragher has been harsh? Let me know your thoughts by commenting below, or following me on Twitter @LaurenRutter for more comment and debate.

Sir Alex Ferguson believes that ten more wins will be enough to secure Manchester United a record breaking nineteenth title this season. The Red Devils currently find themselves five points clear at the top of the table and have a golden opportunity to stretch their lead further at Molineux this afternoon; a victory that would arguably bring an end to both Chelsea and Man City’s title aspirations.

In the papers this morning there has been a mixed bag of stories that includes Harry Redknapp ruing the chance to sign Van Bommel; Premier League chief cites £100m transfer, while Carlos Tevez concedes that City have blown the title.
