Scott Parker plying his trade for the lilywhites of North London. Oh how different Sunday's derby could have gone had Arsene Wenger listened to the calls for experienced reinforcements. The calls had been ringing all summer for experienced reinforcements. Arsene Wenger himself stated that he was “not afraid to spend”. Well this was true, albeit only in the […]

The Portuguese boss is just halfway through his contract with Inter but he is already talking up his plans to return to the Premier League. When boss at Premier League club Chelsea Mourinho won […]

Luca Toni departed the Italian league back in 2007 but it looks as if the striker could be leaving current club Bayern Munich pretty soon. Toni was subbed at half-time in the German giant's 1-1 draw with Schalke and reportedly opted to leave the Allianz Arena rather than watch the second-half from the bench with […]

I think it is fairly safe to say things are not going to plan at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu. After a summer of unprecedented spending they were supposed to challenge for honours on all fronts and regain their place at the top of La Liga from Barcelona. In all fairness they're only a point behind […]

A week or so ago the news broke that David Beckham would probably be returning to the San Siro in the new year for a loan stint. AC Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani has now revealed it is certain the former Real Madrid and Manchester United man will rejoin Leonardo's men in January. He said: […]

I think it is fair to say that AC Milan's start to the season has been less than impressive to say the least. However, victory over Roma at the weekend propelled them into the top half of the table and then last night the Rossonerri did the unthinkable and beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu […]

Former Real Madrid midfielder and all round football superstar David Beckham is planning a return to Serie A. The 34-year-old enjoyed a productive loan spell with AC Milan during the latter half of last season and Becks claims he is closing in on a move back to the San Siro.

Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho has always had a bit of a reputation as an outspoken type of fellow but that looked like it had all changed when he imposed a 'media blackout' last weekend. The former Porto and Chelsea boss decided to snub the press after he was sent to the stands during Inter's […]

AC Milan boss Leonardo has admitted Brazilian Ronaldino is not the player he once was, but insists the former Barcelona man is still very much in his plans. The 29-year-old won the Ballon d'Or back in 2005 but has yet to match the standards he set in his early years at the Nou Camp in […]

On Wednesday night Inter Milan take on reigning European champions Barcelona in what is surely the standout fixture in the opening round of the Champions League. To add some extra spice to the occasion Inter Milan welcome Zlatan Ibrahimovic back to the Giuseppe Meazza after his mega-money switch to Barcelona over the summer in a […]

Fiorentina forward Adrian Mutu has offered to make a huge donation to charity if his former employer's Chelsea are prepared to waive his 17million euro fine. Mutu was handed the huge fine by Fifa for breaching his contract at Stamford Bridge after he tested positive for cocaine in 2004. Mutu took his case to the […]

New AC Milan coach Leonardo has a task on his hands this summer. The Brazilian boss has already lost compatriot and former ballon d’Or winner Kaka while former Rossoneri boss Carlo Ancelotti is constantly linked with bringing his former players with him to Chelsea. It would seem that Leonardo is targeting a big striker to […]

A few weeks ago I posted a tribute to former Lazio and Juventus ace Pavel Nedved who had announced his retirement from the game. Nedved has always been an exciting talent even at the grand old age of 36 and his performances for Juve last season were still top class, indeed he often covered more […]

Inter Milan have made big moves to keep star-man Zlatan Ibrahimovic, they've slapped a massive price tag on the Swede's head and it looks a fairly safe online football bet the 27-year-old will be at the Giuseppe Meazza next season. Kaka went to Real Madrid for £59million and Inter value Ibra as 'superior' to the […]

Kaka’s transfer may have raised a few eyebrows in Italian football about the ability to keep the world class players in the league. Inter Milan are also reportedly locked in a battle to keep a hold of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and there has been plenty of speculation in the media to suggest perhaps the Serie A […]
