No. 1 Stevie G retires from England.
The will he won't he saga is finally over! Much
speculation about Steven Gerrard continuing to captain his country after England’s
dismal World Cup campaign has ended this week when Stevie G called time on his
England career.
The England captain said, “This has been a
very difficult decision, one of the toughest I’ve had to make in my career,”
The decision hasn't been taken lightly and he
hopes to prolong his Liverpool career and lead them on that quest to a premier
league title. Now the question arises, who’s next for the captaincy?
No. 2 James Rodriguez signs for Madrid
James Rodriguez is the latest galactico to sign
for the Spanish giants for a fee of £71m.
The World Cup golden boot winner put pen to paper
on the switch from Monaco after just one season with the French club, reports
are that in just one-week Real Madrid have recouped £20.7m back in shirt sales
alone! Maybe he wasn’t overpriced…
No. 3 Man city Vs HNK Rijeka
Patrick Vieira sanctioned a walk off by the Man City
elite development squad after racist remarks were made towards midfielder, Seko
Fofana, in which he received a red card for his retaliation.
The alleged abuse took place in the first half
which prompted Vieira's decision and it is said City are in talks with the
match officials and the Croatian FA to resolve the matter in hand.
No. 4 Drogba returns to Chelsea!
He's back! The man that haunted most premier
league defences for the best part of 12 seasons has comeback to play a role for
the club in the upcoming season.
He joins on a 1 season deal to play back up to
the recent signing of Diego Costa, Drogba has said "I couldn't turn down
the opportunity to work with José [Mourinho] again," the 36-year-old, who
scored 157 goals in 341 appearances during his first spell with the Blues.
"Everyone knows the special relationship I have with this club and it has
always felt like home to me. My desire to win is still the same and I look
forward to the opportunity to help this team. I am excited for this next
chapter of my career."
No. 5 What's going on at Southampton?
The south coast club are clearly going through a
summer of transition with the departure of gaffer Mauricio Pochettino to
Tottenham Hotspur, and then several key players being sold to the likes of
Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Now with nearly £100m in the bank and Saints fans
praying the board give the money to new boss Ronald Koeman, they’re hoping
there will be some new faces down on the south coast or it could be a season of
struggle for the club.
