Chelsea is on the verge of signing Fluminense full-back named Wallace according to The Independent newspaper. The gifted right back could be adequate cover for Branislav Ivanovic.
As of press time, we're not able to confirm nor deny whether Wallace is any relation to the character Wallace from Wallace & Gromit.
DRESDEN, GERMANY, September 21, 2012 –Laureus Ambassador Jens Lehmann, who played in goal for Germany and top England football team Arsenal, says that his former club were right to sell Robin Van Persie to Manchester United for £24 million and believes German stars Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker are good acquisitions.
There are many people out there spitting feathers over Arsene Wenger not bringing in some 'super,
super quality' players yesterday.
Or any players. I even saw some Gooners so desperate for Arsenal to get someone in they wanted
Micheal Owen. Even Emile Heskey's name was bandied about.
While I can understand the frustration brewing there's not a lot we can do about the fact we didn't
make any signings.

Ever thought of playing one more game of Football Manager/Championship Manager- willing to give up
food and bathing, being evicted by your girlfriend, and skipping the first five minutes of your
career-defining exam in return?
This has to be one of the most entertaining andunbelievable hissy-fits we have ever witnessed from a football manager. The match in question is a top-tier Bulgarian clash between CSKA Sofia and Botev Vratsa and the madness kicks off when a Botev player concedes a red card for a handball in his own area.
In this edition of "When kit men attack" we have the case of Fluminense's kit man having a bit
of a freakout over a disallowed goal. Late in a scoreless match against Atletico Mineiro,
Fluminense had a goal ruled offside (video above). Several Fluminense players ran over the linesman
and gave him a talking to, but it's the man who didn't quite make it that now faces a ban of up to
12 matches.
Panic has set in among many boardrooms over the past few weeks as chairmen roll the dice for the last time in the hope that a change in manager will be enough to turn fortunes around in the latter stages of the football season and in most cases, avoid relegation! March saw a total of [...]
I think I've seen the next great football manager. He didn't stop moving, gesticulating or
encouraging from the first whistle to the last. He had a strange semi-crouch, as if he was watching
just the legs and the feet and ... Continue reading →
Best coaches in Football Manager 2013 - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Building a successful team in Football Manager 2013 requires good players, that's fairly obvious, but having a solid team does not depend only on the quality of your playing staff. Having good coaches and assigning them to the right training categories is also very important, if not crucial.
Sir Alex Ferguson will be sculpted in bronze outside Old Trafford when the time comes. When the sculptor chooses the base for the statue, granite should be ordered. For it is in the "granite city" of Aberdeen that Ferguson's hardened coaching mould was cast.
Before the game this afternoon, we thought it would be good to renew Alex Ferguson's record in football as a manager, where he has so far managed in 2109 games and won 1223 of them, for a win record of 58% and he has won the Premier League 12 times, and he didn't do [...]

Which Of The Promoted Sides Has The Best Chance Of Staying Up? - originally posted on
Soccerlens.com
Last season's promoted sides were a revelation. Swansea dazzled the league with an adherence to
short passing football stronger than Elton John's adherence to ill-fitting wigs, Norwich showed a
tactical flexibility rarely seen in England before while QPR relied on more prosaic methods to
fashion an impressive escape from relegation, almost causing one of the biggest upsets in British
football history against Manchester City in the process.
Once again we're given a name and some YouTube footage of a new signing (not to mention some healthy levels of skepticism regarding why he was signed) but precious little else. Time to fire up the FM 2013 Editor!
First things first: there aren't going to be any screenshots here or detailed comparisons to existing players because Alam in the FM database isn't a complete picture of a player.
Ah, it's that time of year again, isn't it? When we all huddle round our laptops trying to read the digital tea leaves swirling in pixelated YouTube clips. But we have a better resource available to assess guys who are little more than names, nationalities, and positions, don't we? We have Football Manager and the Sacred Database.
Football Manager 2013: Player Development Strategy - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
There are so many ingredients that affect a player's flavour, both in real football and in Football Manager 2013, the best football management simulation.
Man management, positioning, role within a team and day to day training could add spice to your Spaniard, or turn him sour.

It's the most wonderful time of year: transfer season! Here at The Other 87, we don't peddle
in rumors or speculation. If we say it's going to happen in the two and a half weeks before the
window closes, then you know it will come to pass, and if it doesn't then it's the real world
that's to blame.
Soccer video games are a big part of a lot of people's lives nowadays and they definitely have been a big part of mine. I have been playing football video games since I was eight years old, so I thought I'd share with you my top 10 favorites of all time. Bear in mind these are purely the top 10 out of the ones I have played.
Presumably this is a spoof (we really hope not), but if it is someone has gone to a lot of effort to create a pretty decent LinkedIn profile for out-of-work football manager Alex McLeish. The profile on the corporate social networking site is fairly up-to-date, making mention of McLeish's recent brief stint at Nottingham Forest.
Now whilst I, at 21 years old, have grown too old for Guy Fawkes, I sure haven't gotten too old to play Football Manager. So just 3 days before the cerimonial burning of an old crazy madman I get to celebrate the release of what is beyond a doubt the best managerial game there is: "Football Manager 2013″.
