Audit and financial advisory firm Deloite & Touche released it's football money league rich list
yesterday with La Liga club Real Madrid topping the list for a seventh successive year. Closing
following Madrid in second was fellow Spanish club Barcelona.
United came in third on the list, however, it is the dominance of English clubs in the top ten
that has got people really talking.
Former New England Revolution star Clint Dempsey could be changing teams before England's
January transfer window comes to a close at 6PM ET on Tuesday. The current Fulham FC midfielder has
been lighting it up in the Barclays Premier League with 15 goals through all competitions and could
see a dream move to one of the top clubs in the league before Tuesday's deadline.
Eden Hazard, one of the most desirable transfer targets in world football at the moment, says he
is not moving this January. Definitively. Moving this coming summer, however? That's on fo sho. To
England? Why yes, actually.
Excuse me while I shit my pants with potential excitement.
Seeking a new challenge in the summer
Hazard spoke to Canal+ today and shed some light on his current situation.
Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic is set to snub the interest of several other English clubs to
seal a transfer to Liverpool, a club that the player's father has described as 'great'.
Jelavic has been the subject of interest from the Reds' fellow Premier League side Queens Park
Rangers as well as Championship outfit West Ham United.
Will Thierry Henry start up front with RVP at Swansea on Sunday? Probably not I reckon, AW has
stayed coy over his plans but if he didn't start him in the 1-0 win over Leeds in the FA Cup then
he's hardly likely to in a Premier League game with three vital points at stake is he? But Henry
did make a dramatic goal-scoring cameo in that game.
Veteran MLS goalkeeper Jon Conway has decided to hang up his cleats and gloves.
Conway, 34, was selected by the Los Angeles Galaxy in this past December's re-entry draft to
compete for a backup spot behind Josh Saunders, but he instead elected retire after a 12-year
career.
Free agent Scottish striker Kris Boyd, formerly of Rangers, Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest and
most recent, Eskişehirspor, is apparently considering an offer from the Dynamo, at least according
to Bryan Swanson of Sky Sports.
Boyd is 28-years old and has a fairly strong goal scoring record from his Rangers days,
including three 20+ goal seasons.

doubt"
When Liverpool announced they were not going to appeal the Luis Suárez verdict they did so
after coming under a huge weight of pressure from various individuals and organisations. One of
Liverpool's main objections to the decision was the way it was reached and in particular the burden
of proof considered adequate.
While the demotion of Manchester City and Manchester United from the UEFA Champions League to
the second-tier Europa League has been very well documented, the Premier League leaders have
company when it comes to failure in Europe this season.
The London pairing of Fulham and Tottenham did not even make the final 32 of Europa League and
with Championship outfit Birmingham out of contention as well, Stoke is the only other side
representing England in the competition.

being tracked by several top English clubs. Biglia's agent Enzo Montepaone told Het
Nieuwsblad:"Fiorentina, Arsenal and Manchester United? The interest of those clubs is real. "It's

Amateur Blogger. Has nothing to do but watch Arsenal's Invincible Season again n again and shed
a tear or two. Firmly believes that he was born to follow Arsenal. Equally respects other English
clubs barring Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham.

Following today's draws in the European club competitions one can't help but feel that there
could've been some tastier matches upon the horizon going into the knockout rounds of each

Few stories floating round in the Twitter-verse that I thought I'd comment on in more depth.
Firstly, the guy over at Republik of Mancunia produced one of his periodic stats analyses, with the
goal, I presume, of showing that United have the worst injuries record in the prem. However, in his
analysis, he was forced to admit that we, in fact, have the worst injury record out of the top
English clubs.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has responded to rumors linking the Gunners with French midfielder
Yoann Gourcuff. Despite a dazzling array of skills, Wenger insists that he's not interested in
signing Gourcuff in the January transfer window, and instead pointed to the return of some of his
star players such as Jack Wilshere.
