FRANCESC FABREGAS
Don't be surprised by the caption header. it is for real that fabregas told colleagues that he wants to leave Barcelona! to where you might ask. Manchester United is the direction.
Fabregas and Barca executive repeatedly closed any link or move to old trafford insisting that the lad will stay on at camp nou and build his career.
It is believed that Fabregas is attracted predominantly by the promise
of regular first team football and the prospect of being able to link up
with former Arsenal teammate Robin van Persie. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has also told david Moyes to forget about Fabregas but we only wait to see the end of the unfolding drama which normally ends in the both clubs and the player agreeing terms and everyone goes home happy.

LUIS SUAREZ
Liverpool top marksman Luis Suarez has for the last couple of weeks been involved in a ding dong affair with Arsenal. one minute Liverpool is asking for 40 million pounds and the next they go up to 50 million pounds.
Why create unnecessary hiccups for a team that genuinely needs a players services? why can't Liverpool just come out plainly and say Suarez wont be sold for any amount just like Tottenham Hotspurs is doing with Gareth Bale than play the cat and mouse game.
If Suarez wants to leave Anfield, then he should be allowed to leave. after all he is not Steven Gerrard.
LAURENT KOSCIELNY OF ARSENAL

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny is sounding very confident after an impressive run of pre-season victories in the Far East.
Recall that Arsenal played and won all four games during their Asia tour of Indonesia and Vietnam scoring 19 goals in the process. According to Laurent, the wins are good confidence booster as they head up to the weekend for the Emirate cup against the likes of Galatasaray, FC Porto and Napoli. quoting Koscielny..."We won all our games so that's good for confidence. We had a lot of
training and all the players trained very well and gave themselves for
the team.
"Pre-season is very important for the Premier League. It's a long season so we need to be fit - I think we did well.
"The wins give us some confidence, and it's good for the next games -
the Emirates Cup, [the friendly] against Manchester City and the start
of the season."
There we go again with this Gunner guys, they impress during pre-season but when the chips are down during league games, the confidence disappears. Well, soccer2theworld wish them well in the approaching season.
SEPTEMBER 7, 1888

According to BBC Sports Football, a certain Robert Boyling was in the newspaper archive of the British Library in Colindale, London, when he made the discovery.
This ends many years of speculation sorrounding the correct date when the first league goal was scored in football history. September 7th, 1888 was the date and it was in the match between Aston Villa versus Bolton Wanderers.
The goal most widely assumed to have been the first took place in the match between Wolves and Aston Villa.
Villa full-back Gershom Cox put the ball into his own
goal after 30 minutes - and with kick-off starting at 3pm it meant the
unfortunate defender had his place in history.So soccer lovers, take note of the date.
GARETH BALE
Real Madrid are set to be ready to break the records again to sign Tottenham's Gareth Bale in a record fee of 95 million pounds sterling! if the deal goes through, it would have confined Cristiano Renaldo's 83 million pounds transfer from Manchester United to the same Real Madrid.
However, soccer2theworld reliably gathered that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is not willing to sell his talisman for even 100 million pounds.
Levy is determined to build the team to compete in the UEFA champions league and who else will they build the team around other than Gareth Bale. it goes to show that it's not all about the money. let's see where this will all end up. But is Bale really worth 95 million pounds or are Real Madrid so rich that they don't know what to do with money?
When a player's time is over, the following are the most likely signs.
1. When You Take Your Employer Out of Your Twitter Bio
2. When Your Own Fans Boo You…During a Victory Parade
3. When the Fan Who Made a Sign Begging for You to Be Signed Tells You to Go
4. When Your Manager Has Sued You Before
5. When You Keep Asking for a Transfer
