Nemanja Vidic is a player who is much loved at United, following a difficult start to his career at Old Trafford.

STANDARD Liege boss Laszlo Boloni admits he fears the damage Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard's partnership can do to his team.

The Belgian title holders will prepare for their Champions League third qualifying round second leg with confidence after their 0-0 draw in Liege a fortnight ago. Click to continue reading...

Manager Rafa Benitez said on Tuesday he was still waiting for Liverpool to move up a gear as they prepare for their crunch Champions League qualifier with Standard Liege.

Wednesday's game follows a disappointing 0-0 draw in Belgium two weeks ago and some mediocre form in the Premier League, where late goals have yielded two victories and masked some mediocre performances. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool striker Robbie Keane says he is confident his team's performances will improve as the season progresses.

Rafa Benitez's side have taken six points from their opening two Premier League games but have struggled to hit top-form so far.

So our thin squad got even thinner yesterday with the news that Philippe Senderos has joined AC Milan on loan for the season with an option for a permanent move.

While some people thought the signing of Silvestre (out injured until mid-September, you know! Hurrah!) added some depth and experience to the squad it turns out he was brought in to replace the big Swiss.

Ok that is just about enough Arsene. I'm one of your biggest supporters and have stuck by you through the summer and every summer before when you have sold and let players leave without sufficiently replacing them, but this is the final straw. Letting Phillippe Senderos go to Milan on loan for the season is absolutely ridiculous. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal defender Phillippe Senderos is close to joining AC Milan after it was reported he is undergoing a medical in Milan today. The Swiss international has struggled to nail down a first team place at the Emirates over the past 12 months with William Gallas and Kolo Toure forming a solid partnership in the centre of the Gunners defence.

Nery Castillo seems to have found a new home. Though rumors to Italian side Roma were gaining steam, it seems Nery has found a home in Spain, with Real Betis.

Perhaps now one of Mexico's most talented can find some club stability he has not enjoyed for more than year. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has urged fellow countryman Xabi Alonso to join him at the Emirates. The Liverpool midfielder has been linked with a £16 million move to the Gunners in recent weeks after it became clear that Rafa Benitez may have to sell the Spaniard to sign Gareth Barry.

"Xabi is my friend of course, but apart from that he is a great player," Fabregas said in The People. Click to continue reading...

To finish in the top five would represent a fantastic achievement for the Villans this season, although they might need a few extra provisions going forward. After all, while John Carew and Gabby Agbonlahor make a formidable partnership, there's not a great deal of cover for what will be a ... Click to continue reading...

I can almost imagine Arsene being asked out by his wife for dinner:

Arsene's wife: Arsene, do you want to go for dinner tonight?

Arsene: There is interest, always, in dinner.

Wife: So where do you want to go?

Arsene: You know the place I want to go, but I cannot tell you much more than that. Click to continue reading...

You couldn't help but be impressed with the way Steven Taylor and Fabricio Coloccini played together yesterday in the heart of the Newcastle defense.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has been urged by former Premier League striker Les Ferdinand to play new signing Robbie Keane as a central striker.

The former League Cup winner has commented on his Setanta Sports blog that playing Keane as a central striker will see the best out of him, rather than playing on the wings. Click to continue reading...

According to leparisien.fr Red Bull New is in talks with former French international forward Sylvain Wiltord. The former Arsenal star has fallen out of favor with french club Rennes and is looking for a new opportunity and New York may be the perfect place to ressurect his career. A partnership of Juan Pablo Angel and Sylvain Wiltord may be a deadly combination in MLS. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool new-signing Robbie Keane has stressed that he has his own style, and will not try to be Reds version of David Villa, but will strive to deliver the goods in partnership with Reds' ace Fernando Torres to be as prolific a combination as the two Spaniards are for their country.

The Republic of Ireland forward signed for the Reds this summer in a big-money move from Tottenham, thus giving boss Rafa Benitez plenty of options with his versatility. Click to continue reading...

Well well well!

Rafa and the boys had a bit of a run for their money tonight didn't they?

I know Liverpool were missing a couple of midfielders to the Olympics but deary me! Those Belgians were all over them. They were very unlucky not to have been awarded that first goal attempt which hit the post but in my view was batted away by the goalie over his own line and should therefore have been allowed.

Rafael Benitez is backing Fernando Torres and Robbie Keane to strike terror into defences across Europe this season – starting in Belgium tonight.

Liverpool begin their campaign this evening against Standard Liege in the first leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie.

Benitez is hopeful that Steven Gerrard will have shrugged off a thigh problem to lead his team out at the intimate Stade Maurice Dufrasne. Click to continue reading...

Wenger has made signing a central midfielder to complement Cesc Fabregas a priority. With Flamini's departure, the team has a huge void to fill. His successful partnership with Fabregas in midfield was the salient feature of Arsenal's matchplay.

There have been numerous links to Gareth Barry and Xabi Alonso, both who in my mind lack the speed and industry of a Flamini.

Quick: What do a soccer stadium, a designated-player signing and a partnership with a foreign club and have in common? They are all things the Dynamo have yet to secure going on three years of existence. While I don't have... Click to continue reading...

It was an interesting game yesterday, one that perhaps summed up everything that's good and bad about this current Arsenal line-up.

The good? Well, even Eboue showed that he does have some worth, when he whipped in a very decent cross that was headed home by Greedy. Bendtner and Greedy then actually linked up to see nicky cooly stroke home, before Greedy knocked in the winner. Click to continue reading...

Andy Johnson has finally completed his move to Fulham from Everton. It is believed the fee is in the region of £10.5 million. Johnson scored twenty-two goals in seventy-four appearances for the Toffees and for a while looked like becoming a cult hero in the North West. Last season he struggled with injury and was unable to establish himself in the side. Click to continue reading...

The cliché is that goals - and by extension, goalscorers - win games, not their suppliers. Tottenham seem intent on putting that long-established theory to the test this season. They may lose a 46-goal strike partnership this summer but Robbie Keane, sold to Liverpool, and Dimitar Berbatov, wanted by Manchester United, could not earn them a top-half finish in the Premier League last year.
