Today, a guest post from Abdul Rahman Al Ze'bi, who thinks Our Beloved Valencia needs a lot of stuff, like a new coach.

Agree? Disagree? Think Emery is over-caffeinated?

Take it away, Abdul ...

What Does Valencia CF need?
This has been the question everyone asks.

Don't feel bad that you missed all the transfer news because you're such important people. We too were engaged in frantic busy work (sleeping, shopping, drinking or a horrifying and painful combination of all three) when the window slammed shut at 23.

A tragédia ocorrida ontem no Egipto, onde, pelo menos 74 pessoas morreram e largas centenas ficaram feridas no final do jogo entre o Al-Masry e o Al-Ahly, de Manuel José, é apenas mais um episódio de uma "novela" infelizmente já vista em vários pontos do globo. Não interessa quem começou os distúrbios.

By Jason Davis - WASHINGTON, DC (Jan 19, 2011) US Soccer Players -- Kris Boyd, born August 18th, 1983 in Irvine, Scotland, late of Eskişehirspor of the Turkish Süper Lig, formerly of Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough FC, and - most famously - Glasgow Rangers, current record-holder for most goals scored in the Scottish Premier League and a name well known in international soccer circles, is Major League Soccer's newest Designated Player.

In our recaps of Seattle Sounders FC's Academy Alumni the focus was primarily on the players within the NCAA system. Players like Sean Okoli (second leading scorer on the U18s in 2010/11), Deandre Yedlin and Nick Palodichuk are following typical American collegiate paths. Yedlin and Okoli even got picked for the recent United States U-20 path.

The turn of the year has seen the transfer market in the K-League gather momentum. Players and coaches have returned from their end of season vacations and teams are starting their winter training camps.
The first week of 2012 saw two big deals involving midfielders who may not be quite automatic starters for the national team but are never too far from the first eleven.

Joe Ledley gives Celtic the lead with a bullet header in their Old Firm clash with Rangers, a Celtic win could see them replace their opponents at the top of the SPL by two points.

It's hardly a conspiracy theory or wild rumours that Liverpool FC and Kenny...

Xabi Alonso strokes his beard whilst mulling over his team's chances of winning this weekend's El Clasico.

It's going to be a big, contentious weekend of footy, we can feel it.

Short on time or interest to catch all the action as it happens? Yeah, we can feel that too.

There is a solve, though, that we've never explored before.

The final U.S. men's national team matches of 2011 are fast approaching, and with a pair of European road games on the slate, there is a good bet we will see plenty of familiar faces, but hopefully at least a few new faces.

The MLS playoffs could mean that some players don't make the trip across the pond, like Landon Donovan, though U.

Football clubs and the media covering them live together as slightly estranged bedfellows, desirous of one another's company but at times cold or distant when the other's been bad in the sack. Quite often it is the club in some capacity turning away, demanding the media pick up the blanket off the end of the bed and to go sleep on the couch for the night.

It is very unusual for Liverpool to be playing friendly matches at this stage...

Charlie Adam and Danny Wilson were never going to match Paul Gascoigne's...

KD: We're better than that

Kenny Dalglish admitted Liverpool played badly in their 1-0 friendly defeat to Glasgow Rangers on Tuesday night but insisted there were mitigating circumstances.

Making a reference to Greek philosophy when discussing Glasgow Rangers probably sounds far too distorted to be credible. It likely is, but it was difficult not to consider Plato's Allegory of the Cave when hearing owner Craig Whyte talk of reviving the Atlantic League idea or somehow getting Rangers accepted into the English league system.

There was a decidedly American flavor to Glasgow Rangers' 4-0 rout of Motherwell on Saturday, as U.S. teammates Carlos Bocanegra and Maurice Edu both scored goals for the Scottish champions.

Bocanegra opened the scoring in the ninth minute on a powerful header, while Edu blasted a long-range left-footed shot in the 17th minute.

Jozy Altidore continued his torrid goal-scoring pace for AZ Alkmaar today, scoring on a long-range blast in AZ Alkmaar's Europa league match vs. Swedish side Malmo (the same Malmo squad that eliminated Glasgow Rangers from the Champions League in earlier qualifying rounds).

Scottish football is in crisis. With Scottish clubs exiting European competition even earlier than usual, fans and the media are mourning the latest ‘death' of the national sport. Newspapers and radio phone-ins are leading the now annual debate asking "where do we go from here?

Yes another injury to report I'm afraid, and yet again an injury to a defender. When will it all stop? Fear not my friends it is not as bad as it seems as the latest injury has struck Kyle Bartley who is on loan at Glasgow Rangers. Bartley had surgery earlier this week on his [...]

Tottenham fans will tomorrow have to take a look at their new squad list as Harry Redknapp and Daniel Levy had a very busy deadline day.

Will the baton ever be passed from Robbie Keane to Aiden McGeady?

Editor's Note: It was an odd, intermixing week for American and British Isle footie. Midweek, the historic club Glasgow Rangers of the beleaguered Scottish Premiere League made successful for two Americans, Alejandro Bedoya and Carlos Bocanegra.

Just when you got used to calling FFC, Fulhamerica... Going to have to add a SPL team to that list. Already with Edu on the squad, Glasgow Rangers just added Bedoya (he already was on a pre-contract set to begin in January) today and now comes word from Sky Sports that St. Etienne defender, and USMNT player Carlos Bocanegra just signed a 3yr deal to move to Ibrox, effective immediately.

Glasgow Rangers has grabbed the unofficial title of Team America on Wednesday after making U.S. national team captain the second American to sign with the Scottish club champions on Wednesday.

Bocanegra joins Rangers via transfer from St. Etientte, and could be in action as soon as Thursday.

Alejandro Bedoya won't have to wait until next winter to finalize his move to Scottish champions Glasgow Rangers after all.

The U.S. national team midfielder will be joining Rangers immediately after the club reached an agreement with Swedish club Orebro on a transfer for Bedoya.

Ally is not havin' it

Well, I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that we are actually making bids on real, live players who might consider playing for Bolton. The bad news is that we're getting rejected. Ally McCoist, manager of Glasgow Rangers has confirmed that Bolton made a £400k bid for 20 year old Gregg Wylde.

The last time a team from Allsvenskan played in Europe was the 2007 season where Helsingborg managed to make it into the group stage. Once there, they took second place and were knocked out by PSV Eindhoven in the first knockout stage. I watched the last game in Helsingborg live, and though PSV were certainly the better team, Helsingborg had proved that teams from Allsvenskan could play and even do well at this level.

Young Arsenal striker Rhys Murphy, who has recently declared for Ireland, is attracting strong interest from Glasgow Rangers.
Murphy, 20, has already been training with the Ibrox club and recently played in a trial game against Hamilton.
West Sussex-born Murphy, whose grandfather hails from Dublin has declared for Ireland, with sources saying the processing of his application by the FAI is well advanced.
