Man Utds Window Of Opportunity For Lukaku

So Its 2016 and with the beginning of the year comes the winter transfer window. So get ready it could be an epic. Don't get me wrong the first 8 days have been a little slow but there's still a long way to go and still a lot of teams that in my opinion need to do some business. This season we have seen teams exceed expectation and also fail to meet expectation. You could argue most of the teams in the Premier League need to do some business but today were going to focus on Man Utd.

It's been a very random season for Man Utd filled with ups and downs we've seen them reach the top of the league in November and then by the end of December be 7th in the league but through out it all there's been one consistent theme they need a striker and they need one quickly as Rooney and Martial are there only senior strikers.

So who can they go for ?

Well all season we've seen them linked with the likes of Edison Cavani , Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Harry Kane all fantastic strikers who would add a great threat to the Utd attack but are they achievable ? and how much would you have to pay ? This of course is something we can't really state as fact but we can be sure they would cost a fortune.

As great as the mentioned above strikers are in my opinion the striker I would go for is Romelu Lukaku ? You're probably thinking why ? Well Lukaku is a player that like Harry Kane know's the Premier League and is also used to being played as a lone striker and the focal point of a 4-5-1 formation. He's big strong pacey and most importantly got a fantastic eye for goal.In my opinion he is one of the best up and coming target men in the game and has the potential to go on and achieve similar success to his idol Didier Drogba. Don't get me wrong he will cost a lot of money and he still has a lot of room left to grow but he's got what it takes to be one of the best and with the right team and opportunity we could see him becoming one of the Premier Leagues greats.

What do you think who should Man Utd sign let me no in the comments below

Neymar For The Ballon D'or

Hey everyone how are we all ? so were at that time of year when the world starts the debate of who is Better Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi and trust me it gets crazy people throw stats people bring up personal issue's people even go as far as fighting basically it's a huge cycle and one that confuses me because Cristiano is my Boy....... I'm going to stop there before I take it to far lol.
But anyway this season even though I no most people will continue to champion the two big guns I'm putting my support behind Neymar.

I no what you're thinking why Neymar but I do Believe he has a genuine chance of winning the Ballon D'or and not only that I really reckon he deserves it.
There's no doubt that Ronaldo and Messi take football to new place they play at a standard that is almost untouchable for any other player and this is why I believe Neymar deserves the award.
The Ballon D'or is an award that is meant to recognize a player that has taken his game to a new level and surpassed his own expectations and Neymar has done this. I no what your thinking and yes I do agree that Messi and Ronaldo are still at this stage better than Neymar but the way I see it is Ronaldo and Messi are playing at a standard that is expected of them they have not surpassed expectation this is there standard. 50+ goals per season for these guys is average as crazy as it sounds they have not grown or pushed themselves as much as Neymar has this year and that's why I believe he truly deserves the award this season.

So has Neymar really grown to a new level ? I think the only answer is yes of course he has , we have to remember Neymar has taken a very different route to most players he has been patient and worked hard staying in Brazil at Santos for as long as he did was something that really helped him he could of come to Europe at 18 like a lot of South Americans do but he waited perfected his craft and came to Europe when he was ready. Yes His first season at Barca was a struggle but he stayed focused and last season he was a major player for a team that went onto win the treble and a front three that scored over a 100 goals and this season he has carried on from were he left off. The levels he is now producing are only just behind Messi and Ronaldo arguably the two greatest players to grace the field the fact that he is now forcing his way in to this bracket for me demonstrates how much he deserves this Ballon D'or and yes like I mentioned before of course Messi and Ronaldo are better than him but he's not far off there level and the amount he has grown this year in my opinion only strengthens my beliefs that he deserves the Ballon D'or award.

Thanks

And have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year

Cristiano Ronaldo Has A Choice To Make

So I'm pretty sure most football fans have heard about Cristiano Ronaldo and his apparent desire to leave Real Madrid and if you haven't well I kind of just summed it up there's talk of  Cristiano Ronaldo wanting to leave Real Madrid just like there is every year however this year everyone seems to be fully believing it and expecting it to happen. So This leads me to think if  Cristiano Ronaldo does leave Real Madrid what are his options and were will he go ?

But before we get on to that, the question you have to ask is why would Real Madrid want to sell arguably there greatest ever player while he is still in his prime ? This is a player that has scored more goals then games and has smashed record after record, and has won everything there is to win in club football. Yes people may question his antics as he can be moody but he is also a warrior and is always looking to to win he gives his all to football and doesn't take losing as an option the thought of selling him is crazy and one I believe Real Madrid would regret. So the question is were would he go and for me there are only to choices.


1-PSG

PSG will easily be the favorites to sign Cristiano Ronaldo because they have the money and they have the project to go with it. With Zlatan Ibrahimovic looking to be on his way out it seems they will be looking for a new superstar forward and who better than Cristiano Ronaldo. This is a move that works for both parties Cristiano Ronaldo has already spoken of his desire to stay in top flight football and will not go to a lower standard league and PSG are desperate after years of league domination to finally win the Champions League this added with the insane amount of money PSG can offer and there really seems no reason why this wouldn't be the perfect fit.
but wait there's one more option ?


Manchester United 

Yes the fairy tale ending every United fan has been waiting for and one I've been talking about since the day my football idol left. Now I no I'm bias and as I've stated PSG do look the more realistic target but remember Man United is a team Cristiano Ronaldo can't turn his back on and as he has stated many times it is a team that will always be close to his heart.Man United fans would never boo Cristiano Ronaldo like his own Real Madrid fans did and if he did chose to come back everyone would welcome him with open arms. But could it work ? well the answer is yes , yes it could there's no denying that at the moment Man Utd are short on fire power up front and they need all the help they can get and who better than a player that has scored more goals then games ? financially Man United may not offer as much as PSG but they can offer legend status and the chance to be the player that lifts Man Utd back to the top.

Overall its going to be a great to see what the next chapter of the Cristiano Ronaldo story has ahead of it and I'm sure there's going to be loads of twists and turns.

Is Man Utd's Passing Tactic The Way To Win The League !!!!

They say possession is Nine tenths of the law but in football this certainly isn't the case we've seen on so many occasions that just because you have the most possession in the match doesn't mean your going to win the game. In Football there's only one important stat and that's the scoreline however its is important to remember if you're opponents don't have the ball they can't hurt you. With Louis Van Gaal's Man Utd taking up the possession tactic this season it leads me to debate is possession football a successful way to win the league or not ?


Yes The Passing Game Works  

If were going to talk possession football there's only one man we can really look at and that's Pep Guardiola he is the king of the possession tactic although he branded it tiki taka which to be fair does sound more exciting. That Being said Pep has proven that it can be a successful tactic when done right. Barcelona under Pep played football very differently to what Man Utd are doing now even thought both are playing a possession game Barca did it with more effect and moved the ball at a faster tempo Were as Man Utd move the ball slower and take less risks. But Barca did prove they could win it all without letting the opponent get in the game and that's this styles strength .Possession football keeps the opponent on the back foot and doesn't allow them to get there game going giving them few chances in the game and if Barca scored first which they usually did it meant the other team had to then chase the game leaving the Barca Players with more space and time to cut the opponent open and kill the game off hence the huge amount of goals they used to score. Plus it did help that they had Lionel Messi who is one of the games greatest players but it was the possession tactic that gave him the platform to shine.

No To Much Passing Doesn't Work

The problems with a passing game in my opinion is that it all comes down to being clinical and decisive. If you look at Man Utd they are passing the ball a lot and completely dominating Possession  but there failing to score goals and even finding it hard to test the keeper in some cases. The reason for this in my opinion is the speed in which they play unlike Barca , Man Utd play at a slower pace and this is when the styles weaknesses start to tell. If you play the possession game at a slow tempo it gives the other team chance to get into shape and closes off the dangerous area's of the pitch. Add that to the fact Man Utd are a big team and other teams usually play a defensive style against them and before you no it you have a situation were Man Utd are trying to pass through a team that has maybe 8 or 9 players defending. Your thinking well this worked for Barca and yes your right it did but there forwards were at a higher level and even they had to rely on the genius of Messi to grab the break through for them when teams were sitting back and defending. In My opinion this is were the Possession tactic is weak as it almost needs to be executed perfectly for it to succeed and if you fail to execute it to perfection you give the other team chance to dig in and wait out the result hence then having to rely on moments of magic from individuals.

Overall I do Believe that this tactic can be successful and Barca were not a one off  you only have to look at Pep now applying his trade at Bayern to see that it can be successful in any league. but it all comes down to execution you have to be so strong at the game style that it makes up for it's weakness you have to be deadly when you have a chance and up the tempo when the opposition is out of position if you remain at the same tempo you become predictable and give the opponents a chance to counter act you strategy but as I said when done to plan it can be a deadly tactic and one that could certainly win you the league.

30 Games To Make Or Break

Hey everyone how are we all ? the Internationals are over and the Premier ship is making a return to our screens and personally I'm hyped for it don't get me wrong Internationals are a great thing but this Season has started so well and been so crazy I've been craving the next game since the final whistle at the Emirates on Sunday although with Man Utd Losing the less said about that the better.

So as you can tell I'm very excited and with 8 games already played and only 30 more to go which you just no is going to fly by I thought I'd do a quick round up of the teams that only have 30 games to make our break there season.


1- Chelsea

Yes it's been said a lot and any one who follows the Premier League know's things are not going to well for the South London team and with 8 games gone and only 8 points Chelsea now have to produce the form of their lives to get back into the top four were they belong. An interesting fact no team with this many point this far in the season has ever finished above 5th so Chelsea have it all to do Will Jose Mourinho be the man to do it our will the club look else were who's knows.

2-Liverpool

Bredan Unfortunately has gone and the Normal one has touched down aka Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool is full of expectation and excitement however the next 30 games are vital Liverpool still have a great chance of Champions League football and still have the cups to play for. Can they win the league ? Stranger thing have happened but I feel 4th will be there limit. They have to show up though because once fans get excited you have to deliver otherwise cheers can change to groans quickly.

3-Crystal Palace

Alan Pardew has taken over Palace and has done an amazing job it's amazing how well you can do when you have the love of the fans and Pardew is showing that as the players and fans seem 100% behind his vision. He's built a fast strong team that has plenty of flair and fun but also has a solid defense that is hard to beat. The Next 30 games will either lead to Palaces greatest season in Years and the hope of some European football which would be more then likely the Europa League or they will finish a respectable mid table either way its going to be great for their fans.



This season is shaping up to be a classic and one that will have us all on edge guessing the next twist with the likes of Sunderland and Newcastle having to turn their fortunes around and the newly promoted team punching above there weight I think we have a great season on our hands at both end of the table how it all pans out only time will tell.

Let me no you're thoughts on how this season will go in the comments below.

Cesc Fabregas Is The key To Chelsea's Turn Around

I no what you're all thinking you're reading this title and you're probably thinking really but he has under preformed so much this season and Maybe you're right but if any player is going to get Chelsea out of this hole it's going to be Cesc. Don't get me wrong John Terry  Gary Cahill and Diego Costa all have a part to play as there all big senior personalities but in my opinion the player that will drag them out of this is Cesc Fabregas and here's why

Control and Calmness 

When you're team is struggling and loosing there heads theres no point running around charging at goal because all it does is cause panic and confusion and once that happens you're in big trouble. Look at Man Utd at the weekend Sanchez scores that goal and they panic and go all 'lets charge at goal' and bang they concede 2 more in the heat of the confusion, what they really needed was there more senior players like Micheal Carrick and Bastian Schweinsteiger to slow the play down and keep the ball and drain the momentum and then start to push on. This is Similar to what Fabregas needs to do and he has the talent to do so in the moments when Chelsea are panicking and struggling he needs to take control and set the tempo of the game back into Chelsea's favor then once you have the control then you start the attack to win the game. Two great players that could do this were Andrea Pirlo and Paul Scholes both of them could take the game under control and keep it at there tempo these player are rare and hard to find and it's not an easy role but Fabregas has the talent to do it. Me Personally I would deploy Fabregas deeper and let him take control of the game rather than playing him in the number 10 role.

Midfield Leader

Yes Chelsea have a lot of leaders in there team but none of them play in the midfield apart from Fabregas and it's now time for him to lead and sort his fellow midfielders out. Matic Oscar and Hazard have all struggled so far this season and its down to confidence and composure and now it's up to Fabregas to install it back in his fellow midfielders. Last Weekend Chelsea's midfield was nervous on the ball and it showed with how they played with it. You're probably thinking what can Fabregas do to change that ? It's simple he needs to be the boss of the midfield he needs to constantly offer an option to his player and keep talking to them and keep them focused when Matic or whoever receives the ball he needs to give him an option he also needs to be calm and composed and be the player the others can look to inspiration because leading isn't all about screaming orders it's how you effect the teams confidence and there is nothing better than knowing theirs a player you can pass to who is confident and won't loose you the ball.

So Yeah these are the Aspects I feel Fabreags and Chelsea need to utilize and I have full confidence Fabreags has the quality to help turn this season around for Chelsea as he is a class player and also a great professional Who do you think can turn Chelsea's season around and why let me no in the comments below.

Watch Out For Andrea's Pereira He's Good !!!!

Hey everyone how are we all doing ? this is my first blog for over a week as I had a little break but I'm back on it and I'm ready to go. So Over the last week football has seen a bit of a turn around Man City went from looking unbeatable to loosing two in a row and Man Utd find themselves top of the league although it's safe to say there's an awful long way to go and I expect this season to be full of twists and turns.

That being said Man Utd have been turning heads with Players like Mata and Smalling giving some really good performances and the media are going mad and hyping up youngsters Anthony Martial and Memphis and rightly so as both players have been playing really well and look really exciting but there's one youngster that is slipping under the radar and that's Andrea's Pereira but I reckon that will soon change.

Who is Andrea's Pereira ?

Well born in Belgium to a former Brazilian footballer Andrea's has always had football in his life following his fathers heritage he has chosen to represent Brazil and was the only Europen based player to be called up to there U20 World cup squad were he showcased his fast dribbling and his impressive range of passing skills. Andrea's has graduated from the Famed PSV Youth academy following in the footsteps of current teammate Memphis and was signed By Sir Alex Ferguson at 15 years old.



Whats he all about ?

Andrea's is a classic number 10 who can can also operate out wide on the wings. He is a player who has a great touch and poise on the ball and has all the makings of a future great. With players like Mata and Herrera to learn from there's no telling how good this young lad could be. At the tender age of 19 he already boasts a huge locker of talent which range from his passing to his dribbling even to set pieces. Obviously the Premier League is a fierce league that does require physical strength and this is something Andrea's Pereira will have to work on plus he has a lot of competition to beat to get in the starting 11 however saying that I'm still confident he has the skills and ability to do just that. Plus let's not forget Louis Van Gaal has a history of producing top youngsters and when he see's something in a young player he gives them every opportunity to showcase there talents

So yeah I suppose overall I'm saying keep an eye out for the name because I predict big things for Andrea's Pereira having recently scored his first competitive goal and making an appearance in the champions league things are looking good for him and I have confidence he will build on whats already an impressive start to the season.

Thanks And let me no what up and coming youngster you are tipping for greatness in the comments below
