Welcome back! Check out our new videos and news updates!
Frank Lampard signed a 5 year deal that will keep him at Stamford Bridge for rest of his career. Much was spoken about his potential move to Inter Milan linking with former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho. Lampard seemed to make the move this year or the next, but has signed a new deal under boss Scolari. Scolari had maintained that Drogba and Lampard were very much in his plans for rest of their career. A good start for Scolari!!!

Just 8 more days for Premier league kick off and the clubs are trying to form the team for the season. Long awaited Ronaldo saga has come to an end. Yes. Ronaldo is staying at United. Same might be the case with Lampard and Robinho. Scolari has sent out a strong statement saying that money will not be an important part of his plans, rather his squad would be. In the past years foreign clubs have increased the evaluation of players tremendously trying to exploit the buying power of business magnets owning clubs. Chelsea, in Scolari, have got a good replacement for Mourinho.
Sunderland have captured 3 players from Tottenham in what has been a ‘ok’ transfer activity. Roy Keane is expected to bring the French striker Saha from United. Portsmouth seem to have a good front line in Defoe and Peter Crouch. Tottenham and Arsenal are still expecting to sign the Russian playmaker Arshavin. Elsewhere, it has been a quiet transfer activity.

Jose Mourinho is all set to sign Sulley Muntari from Portsmouth for a fee of £12.7m. This suggests Chelsea might not want to sell Frank Lampard and that he has to wait for one more year to see off his contract. Muntari was a key figure in Portsmouth squad last season turning in some terrific performances including the one against Manchester United in a league game.

With the premier league kick-off less than a month away, club managers are busy working ways to lure some top signings. Compared to last few years, this year’s transfer activity has been very dull (thanks to Roman Abrahamovic for busy activities in the past few years). Top clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool are yet to make any big signing for this season. Though there have been few signings in the past few weeks, the signing of big names like Eto, Kaka, Robinho, Arshavin, Berbatov are still awaited.
Chelsea have already started their pre-season in China with a 4-0 win over Guangzhou Pharmaceutical. Lampard, Wright-Phillips, Kalou and Argentine di Santo scored for Chelsea. Lampard’s stay at Stamford Bridge is not final yet as Jose Mourinho is preparing to sign him for Inter Milan. Manchester United will be as strong as they were during last season if they manage to hold Ronaldo. Arsenal will take new shape with Arsene Wenger still pondering over the transfer market.
In the bottom, Sunderland will have some encouraging news in the next week or so with manager Roy Keane prepared to sign a bunch of players from Tottenham which includes Chimponda and Darrent Bent. Roy is also preparing to sign Darren Fletcher from his old club Manchester United. The new boys Hull are also busy in transfer market as they are on the verge of signing few star players. No activities in Newcastle camp after their disappointing performance in last season. They would have to rely on Michael Owen to score as Viduka and Martins were ineffective during latter half of the 08 season.
Every game will be important - well, I have to say that after the close finish last season. I would expect Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea to fight it out for the top spot as I think Liverpool are yet to learn to be consistent. So..who is it going to be… Scolari or Ferguson or Arsene Wenger?

In what could be a big spending spree for Sunderland, Roy Keane is all set to splash in £23m to sign four players for Tottenham this week. The targeted players are Chimponda, Steed Malbranque, Kaboul and Tainio. It is understood that both clubs have reached an agreement over the deal. Sunderland are expected to launch more signings this summer.
Meanwhile, Claude Makelele was released from Chelsea making him join PSG in France. Makelele was thankful to the Chelsea management for letting him end his career in France. Makelele played a vital role under Jose Mourinho during the two tital wins.
There is still a big cloud under the transfer moves for Berbatov, Adebayor, Robinho, Drogba and Eto. While the possible destinations are clear, it is still yet to be known if it will take place this season.
