'Worst window I've seen' - Newcastle fans lose the plot after latest pursuit of £13.5m-rated star

Newcastle United fans face an anxious transfer deadline day as they await their club making the signings that can help them survive in the English Premier League. The Magpies have failed to make a single signing so far this month, a situation that hasn’t exactly gone down well with supporters. Can the club pull out all the stops at the last minute? One man they were reported to be tracking in the final days of the window was Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala, a player who has plenty of experience at the elite level and is rated at £13.5m by Transfermarkt . However it appears he’ll be another target they fail to attract to St James’ Park with Sky Sports reporting that Everton are confident of sealing a deal for the Frenchman at some point today. That news has upset Newcastle supporters, who are growing tired of the club’s inability to get deals over the line. Some are even calling it the worst transfer window they’ve ever seen. They took to Twitter to discuss latest deve

Man Utd Trigger Option to Extend Juan Mata's Contract With New Deal Running Until 2019

​Manchester United have taken up their option to extend midfield Juan Mata's contract by a further year, keeping the player at the club until June 2019.

Barcelona Full-Back Aleix Vidal Set to Remain at Barcelona Despite Premier League Interest

Full-back Aleix Vidal is set to remain at the Camp Nou, with Barcelona unwilling to grant the 28-year-old a January move away from the club, according to Cadena Cope journalist Helenda Condis Edo.  Vidal, who initially joined the Blaugrana from Sevilla in 2015 for a £25m fee, has failed to make an impact since his arrival at the Camp Nou - having started just 14 La Liga games for the league leaders. He has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs, as well as Sevilla and Roma.

Huddersfield 0-3 Liverpool: Klopp's Reds Get Back to Winning Ways in Stroll Against Terriers

​Liverpool made light work of a sorry Huddersfield side on Tuesday night, as goals from Emre Can and Roberto Firmino, plus Mohamed Salah's penalty, were enough for Jurgen Klopp's side to earn a 3-0 win.  In front of a lively John Smith's Stadium, the pattern of the first half was very evident, as the Reds were afforded the majority of possession, while the hosts were content on defending deep, soaking up pressure, before hoping to catch Jurgen Klopp's side on the counter attack.

Sandro initially joined the Toffees for a fee in the region of £5m at the start of the campaign, but has failed to adapt to life in England.

West Ham 1-1 Crystal Palace: Mark Noble Earns Hammers a Point as Joao Mario Debuts in Draw

Everton striker set for Sevilla swtich

Everton have tonight revealed that out-of-favour striker Sandro Ramirez is set to join La Liga outfit Sevilla on loan for the remainder of the season. Talented youngster Sandro, a 22-year-old Spanish youth international, had been tipped as one of La Liga’s brightest prospects before his move to Goodison Park last summer, having graduated from Barcelona’s famed La Masia youth academy to eventually link up with the Blaugrana’s first team in 2014. However, limited chances were forthcoming for the youngster at the Camp Nou, with Sandro eventually departing Catalonia for Liga rivals Malaga in the summer of 2016. And the striker impressed during his solitary campaign at the Rosaleda, notching 14 goals and 3 assists in 31 La Liga appearances. Struggles A number of clubs were said to have contacted Malaga regarding Sandro during last summer’s transfer window, with Everton having eventually secured his signature for a surprisingly low fee of just £5.2 million. However, things have not ex

Official: Chelsea confirm signing of Emerson with ‘get to know’ video

Premier League champions Chelsea have this evening officially announced the signing of defender Emerson Palmieri from AS Roma. Talks underway Following weeks of bizarre links with a vast array of underwhelming targets since the beginning of this month’s transfer window, Chelsea’s fans were finally treated to some positive a fortnight ago, when it was confirmed that the Blues had opened negotiations with Italian outfit AS Roma regarding a double swoop for Emerson Palmieri and Edin Dzeko. The London giants were hopeful of sealing a deal for around 50 million Euro plus bonuses for the pair, but negotiations subsequently hit a wall over the last week, as the board at Stamford Bridge struggled to agree personal terms with Dzeko. The uncertainty surrounding Chelsea’s move for the Bosnian hitman led to mounting speculation that Roma could pull the plug on both deals, due to the increasing lack of time set to be available to identify and sign suitable replacements. 1 out of 2 The saga su

Shocking Petr Cech stat emerges following Swansea 3-1 Arsenal

A damning statistic regarding the form of Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech to this point in the campaign has come to the fore this evening, after the Gunners fell to an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Swansea City. Matchup The two sides went head to head at the Liberty Stadium, with Arsene Wenger’s visitors coming into proceedings on the back of a pair of morale-boosting victories over Crystal Palace and Chelsea, the latter of which saw the Gunners earn a spot in the final of the Carabao Cup. (Before tonight) Arsenal sat 3 points adrift of fierce rivals Tottenham (5th) in the Premier League table, and 5 points off Liverpool, who currently hold the final Champions League qualification spot. Swansea, meanwhile, had earned 2 wins and 2 draws from their last 4 fixtures across all competitions, including an incredible 1-0 victory over Liverpool in their last league outing. The Swans came into tonight’s action bottom of the Premier League table, though an impressive recent run of form h

Arsenal fans destroy two players during defeat to Swansea

Arsenal lose again on their travels Arsenal have one of the worst away records in English football this season and they were beaten by the Premier League’s bottom club on Tuesday night by 3 goals to 1. Swansea tore Arsenal to shreds and two players in particular were destroyed on social media. Granit Xhaka can’t play football Xhaka seemed to completely switch off as Sam Clucks equalised for Swansea after Nacho Monreal had given Arsenal an early lead. The Swiss midfielder has been caught napping on plenty of occasions this term and many Arsenal fans believe he is not good enough for the club. Xhaka gives away needless fouls, picks up too many yellow cards and contributes very little to Arsenal’s attack and it is to no great surprise that,not for the first time this season, he was at the heart of plenty of abuse from Arsenal fans on twitter.

"Disgusting" "A Disgrace!" - Aston Villa fans furious at club's treatment of 50-cap international

It’s been an impressive start to 2018 for Aston Villa. Other than a shock defeat to Peterborough in the F.A. Cup, Steve Bruce’s men have been imperious, claiming victory in all three of their league games so far in January. With ambitions to return to the Premier League as soon as possible, owner Tony Xia has spent liberally on a number of quality players. However, one of the mainstays of the team in recent years is Alan Hutton. The defender, who has earned 50 caps for Scotland, has been a useful, versatile option in a number of positions across the backline. During his time at Villa Park, Hutton has become a favourite with fans, especially this season where his performances have earned him numerous plaudits. It was therefore a surprise when reports surfaced on Tuesday suggesting that the 33-year-old would not be given a new contract when his current one runs out this summer. A number of Villa fans took to Twitter after the report surfaced and were angry with the decision… Bit o

'Just what we need', 'Highly rated' - Leeds fans are excited by potential major deadline day deal

As reported by The Express , Leeds United are pursuing a deadline day deal for West Bromwich Albion forward Tyler Roberts. The paper say that the club are in advanced talks to bring him to Elland Road and that he could complete a medical and sign before tonight’s 11pm deadline. The deal is reported to be worth around £2.5m, rising to £4m. Thomas Christiansen’s side are still chasing a play-off place in the second-tier but could do with adding some attacking firepower to their squad, with most of the teams above them having scored more goals so far this season. Roberts, who has only just turned 19, has spent the first half of this term on loan at League One side Walsall, scoring five goals and providing four assists in 19 appearances. Given his age and potential, Leeds fans are excited by the signing, believing he’ll prove to be an excellent acquisition in the months and years to come. They took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the potential deal… Tyler Roberts is just wh

'He would save our season' ... Liverpool fans demand deadline day deal for £45m-rated attacker

Liverpool have sold Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona and loaned out Daniel Sturridge to West Bromwich Albion with no signs of any replacements, and Reds fans have urged the club to sign Lyon attacking midfielder Nabil Fekir, rated at £45m according to Transfermarkt , before the January transfer window slams shut on Wednesday night. Jurgen Klopp hinted in his pre-match press conference on Monday that the Merseyside outfit were unlikely to be busy in terms of incomings in the last couple of days of the window, even though the club has suffered successive defeats against Swansea City in the Premier League and West Bromwich Albion in the fourth round of the FA Cup at home on Saturday. JK: We have to use our players. Long-term we will do a lot (in the transfer window). In the short-term, I don't think we will do a lot. — Ian Doyle (@IanDoyleSport) January 29, 2018 That seems to be a decision that the Anfield faithful disagree with, and Fekir has certainly been in impressive form th
