They’d have been happy to leave the young Frenchman alone and spend another year in the south coast of France. But the increasing unpredictability that has surrounded this transfer window along with the strong […]

We can never underestimate the amount luck plays when it comes to football. Every great team benefits from luck. But I think we now have to accept that Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has more about him than just a lucky streak. Zizou is on the verge of guiding his Real side to a second […]

It seemed like the most obvious transfer of the summer. David De Gea would surely leave Manchester United for Spanish giants Real Madrid.

The past weekend brought us yet another Manchester United/Gareth Bale link. Reports suggest a bid in the region of £86.5m or even as high as £95m will be offered to get the deal done. To be honest I just can’t see the Premier League giants paying that much for one player, even one as talented […]

It has been widely reported that Spanish international Sergio Ramos is ready to commit his future to current employers Real Madrid. It’s amazing how quickly things can change in football.
