Everton is Just Unlucky

Ah..Winter Tranfer Window is upon us and what a spring it has been for the toffees, they are down from being considered for a European place to the dirty relegation fighters over the said period. It looks worrying... but mind you the European place though was only put forward based on the assumption that Mikel Arteta and Phil Jagielka will be back in November, however that has not been the case and it looks certain they wont be coming anytime soon this month as well. The Tricky thing is none of the other premier league teams have been their usual self this season and European football is still mathematically possible(wow).Still this is not the end of it, the fact is Everton could still have been in the
better position if not for the terrible timing of the injuries... Everton lost all the games that were suppose to end in victories and now are winning battles from the position of an underdog...

Peter Pan=Fairy Tale::Ryan Giggs=Football

Little needs to be said about Giggs’ foot, it always had a magic touch. Way back in 91’ when a young welsh kid made his debut only to awe the crowd with his dazzling footwork, sensational control and amazing speed. Nearly 19 years later, the welsh kid still continues to awe everyone with his control and footwork, sure that doesn’t sound very great but at the age of 36 Giggs can be hailed as a freak of nature considering the performances he puts in. Sure he has lost a lot of the pace, but he more than makes up for it with his unbelievable final ball and precision passes. When ronaldo left for Madrid the critics tore United apart with all the questions over how to fill in the gap left by him, well it is a fact the in the two months since the season started United have scored more goals than they did the previous year and the goals have come from all over the field, but my point is in the last half of the season Giggs has 8 assists to his name and one goal as well. But, its not that he is playing amazing football now, he has featured in the premier league team of the season for an unprecedented 8 times since 93’, also the last season the ‘wing wizard’ was chosen into the team of the season as a central midfielder. Which gives an in into how greatly versatile he has turned out to be. Well enough said he is in the twilight of his career and now he has won the bbc sports personality of the year... And so Giggs signs another year extension to spray his magics on his fans for another year(at the least). Here is a compilation of his best moves---->

Back to blinging...

Well i went off for a while... I am sorry about that... What is going on in the Premier league... I'm confused... Not only are manchester united not playing good football... Despite this we are just one point of the leaders as we go into the new year... And well toffees have not had the same luck though with most of their star players still injured and/or have delayed their return... meaning moyes had to field a team with 8 first team players injured for most of the first half of the season. Which clearly reflects on their position in the board now... However the last couple of weeks saw the return of pienaar and yakubu and that billy sure can hit the ball hard...Now for the january signings till now... Donovan signed a temporary loan deal for three months...And Moyes has promised he'd get at least two more loan signings this month... :) And as for Red Devils SAF has said he is going to sign big names. Its sad considering their performance lately but then we are talking about Manchester United and how many times have they proved the doubters wrong... In any case this year is going reallly good for the supporters coz there is gonna be stiff competition for both teams.

The Final day of the Transfer Window

A lot of things have happened this season for both the toffees and the red devils. The toffees have lost their priced defender in Lescott, which is good piece of business for them except for the time at which it happened, the toffees have lost lot of transfer time and the targets are minimum although their evaluation of the player made him the third most costliest defender, they are only unable to replace him with a younger player who fit the bill, however have to settle for Distin who is on the wrong side of 30. However having cost only 5m pounds moyes has made good business in getting 24m on him of which 2m is due to his former club Wolves that leaves with quite a good amount in the kitty. Moyes wasting no time spent 5.3m to bring distin here and splashed 10m on the Russian Bilyaletdinov (No its not a tongue-twister, and he prefers 'billy'). This signing however excites me because of his creativity and technique, it all depends on how well he settles down at the goodison park, mind you it was moyes way back in 2006 when he bid for an unknown figure Arshavein only for the club to turn it down due to the bid falling short their evaluation of the player. Few years from then he is a football genius and fans claim he is the second best signing of Arsene after Henry. However moyes claims to be close to couple of more deals and has no intention of throwing away the check book yet....

On the contrary the red devils have lost 'one' of their star players in Ronaldo and honestly i dont think tevez's five league goals is going to be hard to replace. However Ronaldo's departure came in late june giving ample time to spend the ridiculous word record transfer fee of 80m, but so far Sir Alex had restrained himself to buy Antonio Valencia for 17m( I reckon it's a good buy judging by what i've seen till now), Gabriel Obertan for 3m and Micheal Owen on a free(wow). However, Fergie has seen his targets fall through purely because of their ridiculous fee. Fergie has now claimed to have put away his cheque-book, however in his case he does have a strong enough squad with a lot of potential so you cant really fault him for his decision. I am excited about this season for the big four's spot look more vulnerable than ever with all of them having either lost a key player or have an aging squad.
