Transfer rumors:
From Hell to Manchester? The Daily Mail spins the "David De Gea replacement" wheel once again (previous winners include Pepe Reina and Asmir Begovic) and comes up with Galatasaray's Fernando Muslera.
Remaining in Manchester, most likely knowing that you can't go wrong by linking Man Utd to midfielders, The Sun has Lampard going to Old Trafford after his contract runs out this season, The Daily Mail says United want Sven Bender (who has just signed an extension at Dortmund... but don't tell the DM), while The Mirror says that the Red Devils and Chelsea are going to battle it out for Marouane Fellaini. Fellaini and Luiz lining up together? That's a hair-raising prospect... I'll get my coat now.
The David Villa to Arsenal rumors are dead, according to The Telegraph.
ESPN Soccernet reports that Falcao isn't ruling out a move to Italy. And he plays it even coyer by saying he has a favorite team in the Serie A but won't tell. My guess? Pescara.
Think fast: "Funny and intelligent." Which footballer could we be talking about? Why, Joey Barton, of course, as Marseille wants to sign him permanently.
Other Stuff:
Get your version of Photoshop fired up. Howard Webb's reffing the Man United-Liverpool game this weekend.
The Guardian's Barry Glendenning has a good take of the Suarez/Jon Champion/ESPN hoopla.
Leo Messi wins his fourth straight Ballon d'Or and confesses his mind went blank. We wound too, if we stared at his polka dot suit long enough. Meanwhile, La Liga... er... FIFA's Dream XI was also announced. On the women's side, it's a good day for US Soccer as Abby Wambach and Pia Sundhage wins Player of the Year and Coach of the year, respectively.
And because it wouldn't be Toronto unless at least one of its sports team is in a laughably dysfunctional state, Toronto FC has fired Paul Mariner and has tabbed QPR's Ryan Nelsen as its eighth head coach in seven seasons. Duncan Fletcher of Waking the Red has his take. According to his introductory presser, there's also no concrete date as to when Nelsen will officially come across the pond, as he's still under contract with the Rangers until the end of the season. This should be fun.
Time Killers:
Here's FIFA's goal of the year, scored by Miroslav Stoch:
# 1
Richuation @ Jan 8
The is a hell of a goal... but Ibra's goal in the Euro's may be more impressive.
# 2
kelvinmak @ Jan 9
Yeah, it's a good goal in its own right, but I can think of two or three off the top of my head that I'd place ahead of it.
