Argentines Abroad: 12th-13th September 2009

Hasta El Gol Siempre 15 September @ 06:00 AM EST
After a week of recriminations for the selección, Diego Maradona travels to Europe to bang some heads together and break the news to some players that he'll be picking Argentine-based players over them in future. All the same, there's some food for thought for him ('thought', Diego: that's 'pensamiento' in castellano, a word you might [. Click to continue reading...

SoccerLens 01 September @ 03:00 PM EST

Unlike last year, when summer transfer deadline day saw some records broken and millions upon millions of pounds change hands, things were a lot quieter this time around.

But as always, it's just as much about who didn't move as it is about who did move, and there were plenty of misses to go with the hits.

SoccerLens 31 August @ 02:30 AM EST

The summer transfer window is coming to a close, and there looks to be a flurry of activity still yet to come before the window shuts.

There are still quite a few deals that are up in the air with the deadline approaching, and you've got to be on the lookout for at least a couple of surprises and some nutty speculation from here, there, and everywhere as the hours tick down.

SoccerLens 28 August @ 11:52 AM EST

The football community is abuzz with last Tuesday's unexpected episode of hooliganism at Upton Park, the Championship League draw, and some excellent football matches this weekend. There's also the 'over-the-top' outrage at Eduardo winning a soft penalty against Celtic and for our money, the press has in the past and always will make a mountain out of nothing for a story.

SoccerLens 28 August @ 05:50 AM EST

The big clubs have been relatively quiet recently, but it looks like things are picking up on that front as the end of the summer transfer season edges nearer.

Another long-running transfer saga has bitten the dust, as Wesley Sneijder's future has been resolved, and though it may not be the ending that he wanted in the beginning, it's the one that works out best for him.

Transfer Rumors (26 August 09): Aston Villa close on Warnock, Birmingham move for Boro’s Tuncay, Russian return for Spurs’ Pavlyuchenko, and more

SoccerLens 26 August @ 02:50 PM EST

After giving you a rundown of the latest transfer news and rumors earlier today, I'm back this evening with another fresh batch of signings and speculation.

Despite an extremely impressive performance in holding Liverpool to a solitary goal in their surprise win at Anfield on Monday, Martin O'Neill is making it a priority to bolster Aston Villa's defense before the close of the summer transfer window, and he's close to making at least one new back line signing, if not more.

Transfer Rumors (24 August 09): Man City finally set to land Lescott, Lescott cash to fund Everton spending spree, Man United in Robben swoop, and more

SoccerLens 24 August @ 02:45 PM EST

So, Joleon Lescott is offically on his way from Everton to Manchester City, after numerous headlines over the past several weeks stating how close the move was to happening, what fee it'd be, and so on and so forth.

In the end, Everton get a truckload of money, so does Lescott, Mark Hughes gets his man, and we get to add Lescott's name to our summer transfer lists.

SoccerLens 22 August @ 04:00 AM EST

It's the weekend again, so it's time to turn the focus to the action on the pitch, but there's still a fair share of gossip to report on from the transfer pages.

The current holder of 'The Rumor That Won't Go Away' title is the Joleon Lescott to Manchester City saga, but another situation that persists involves Chelsea and AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato.

SoccerLens 21 August @ 03:30 AM EST

When you follow up a loss at home to a supposedly inferior side by conceding a goal inside the first minute of your next match, it doesn't speak too well of your defense, and with that in mind, Martin O'Neill is hard at work looking for back line reinforcements to help Aston Villa right the ship while there's still plenty of time to.

SoccerLens 19 August @ 03:30 AM EST

It looks like Benitez has worked around the financial constraints imposed upon him to find his man to fill Liverpool's apparent need for a new center back, and he's not the Premier League manager adding (or trying to add) quality depth to his squad.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have finally managed to offload one of their surplus strikers, but are they trying to bring in a new one just as quickly?

SoccerLens 18 August @ 03:30 AM EST

Monday was another light day on the transfer news and rumors front, but we still do have some top clubs looking to make reinforcements before time runs out.

Defense is still the order of the day, as a few Premier League clubs are in the market for additions at the back, while a couple of top European clubs are looking to add some quality on the flanks.

Freddie Sears’ “Goal That Never Was”

The Offside 16 August @ 10:26 AM EST
There's definitely some sort of cosmic karmic balancing force at work in the English Championship. Last season we had the infamous phantom goal, which ref Stuart Atwell awarded to Reading despite the ball not coming anywhere near crossing the line. And this season we have "the goal that never was" (above) with Crystal Palace's Freddie Sear's [. Click to continue reading...

Today, pickings are a little slim in regards to big transfer rumors, but even so, you know you can count on me to bring you what's in the news.

A few Premier League sides are busy trying to strengthen their numbers at the back as the season gets ready to kick off, and as a result, today's roundup is filled with defender news and rumors.

SoccerLens 13 August @ 02:30 PM EST

Many a football fan around the world is in full-on rejoicing (or relief, for some) mode, with the focus shifting back towards club action on the pitch.

However, there are still more than two weeks to go in the summer transfer window, so there's still plenty of business yet to be concluded in the market.

We're less than a week away from the start of the new Premier League season, and though many clubs have solidified their squads for the most part, there are still a lot of moves to come in the next three weeks before the summer transfer window closes.

The two Merseyside clubs looking to be eying up a couple of talented midfielders from abroad, while Hull City are picking up some real steam in the transfer market after hitting brick wall after brick wall for much of the summer.

SoccerLens 08 August @ 04:15 PM EST

How good of an investment is bringing in an highly-talented but oft-injured player for 20m? Rafa Benitez won't find that out for a month or two, what with new signing Alberto Aquilani on the shelf for the start of the season.

Liverpool aren't the only Premier League side bringing in a big-name Italian import this summer, as West Ham could be set to bring in one of their own before the window closes at the end of this month.

SoccerLens 06 August @ 04:30 AM EST

An A for an A, a tooth for a tooth?

Excuse the weak comment there, but it is early, so I won't be at my cleverest for another few hours or so. That being said, Liverpool have sold an A(lonso) and are immediately replacing him with an A(quilani), with money still to spare.

That's the big news of the morn, but at least a few deals should filter through the wires throughout the day, which will give us a few more names to add to our summer transfer lists.
