Liverpool expect to earn £300m from new kit deal with Warrior Sports

2012-01-20T11:03:00.000+01:00

Liverpool has signed a six-year deal with US sports firm Warrior Sports to make the Anfield club's kit from June.

The company, owned by New Balance, replace German giants Adidas as the maker of the Premier League team's home, away and third kits. Warrior, associated with ice hockey and lacrosse in the US, will also make the club's training kit.

Liverpool signs new contract with US sports firm Warrior

It comes after Spurs said last year that another US firm, Under Armour, would make its kit from 2012/13. Liverpool has not announced the value of the deal, but some reports have put it at £25m a year. The club's shirt is one of the top selling replica shirts in the world.

Richard Wright, general manager of Boston-based Warrior, said: "We are here to shake up the world of football".

Liverpool, winners of five European Cups, sit seventh in the Premier League and are in the semi-final of the League Cup.

"This is another landmark deal for Liverpool Football Club and once again shows the value of the club's brand globally," said Ian Ayre, the club's managing director.

Adidas first made Liverpool's kit between 1985 and 1996, and then from 2006 until the present.

Chelsea plan £25 million bid for Hazard

2012-01-13T23:08:00.008+01:00

Andre Villas-Boas plans to continue the rebuilding of his squad with a move to bring Lille's £25million-rated midfielder Eden Hazard to Chelsea.

Hazard is one of Europe's most sought-after talents, a playmaker with an eye for goal who has bagged seven goals in 19 league appearances so far this term.

The only stumbling block could be the two club's valuations. The Blues plan to table a bid of £25m, well short of the Ligue 1 side's desired £33m.
And a Lille official has warned the Blues they will not be willing to sell until the summer.

Jean-Michel Vandamme said: 'Yes, we have received a lot of very interesting proposals. But the clubs want the player immediately and on this we have a very clear idea: Hazard will remain at least until the end of the season. He will not go.'

Villas-Boas has revealed he is a fan of the Belgium international and could be lining up a move for the player who is also wanted by Arsenal, Real Madrid, Juventus and Bayern Munich, according to The Sun.

There’s a good old-fashioned dousing of your traditional African fare (lions/’ethnic’ motifs, etc) but done with a damn-sight more panache than the last few waves of African kits.

Wenger To Miss Two Games After Appeal Rejected By Uefa

2011-09-05T21:47:00.006+02:00

Arsene Wenger's appeal against a two-match suspension has been rejected by Uefa and he will now be banned from the dugout for the start of Arsenal's Champions League group stage campaign.

Wenger was originally given a one-game ban for the first leg of the Gunners' play-off round tie against Udinese, following criticism of Swiss referee Massimo Busacca in the defeat to Barcelona last season.

However, he broke the terms of his ban by communicating with the bench and subsequently faced further Uefa action.

European football's governing body handed down a fresh two-match suspension, but Wenger claimed the rules were not fully clear and asked for a stay of execution as he appealed.

Uefa agreed to delay their disciplinary procedure and Wenger was allowed to coordinate proceedings from the dugout as Arsenal successfully came through the second leg of their tie against Udinese in Italy.
Miserable

However, it has now been confirmed that Wenger's appeal has been turned down by Uefa's Appeals Body and the original decision from the Control and Disciplinary Body has been upheld.

Wenger will therefore not to able to take his place in the dugout when Arsenal visit Borussia Dortmund for their opening Group F game next Tuesday.

He will also have to sit in the stands during the home game against Olympiakos on 28th September.

In addition to Wenger's ban, Arsenal have been fined €10,000 for improper conduct by their officials during last month's match against Udinese at Emirates Stadium.

The news extends a miserable start to the season for Wenger, who had come under severe pressure even before a humiliating 8-2 defeat to Premier League rivals Manchester United just before the international break.

The departures of star duo Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri fuelled scrutiny of Arsenal's transfer policy, although they were busy on deadline day to bolster their squad.

The victory over Udinese also provided an important boost, with the Gunners taking their place alongside Marseille, Dortmund and Olympiakos in their 14th straight year in the Champions League group phase.

Carlos Tevez Reveals 'Personal Crisis' This Summer

2011-09-05T15:06:00.005+02:00

Argentine says he checked into a clinic and his problems undermined his fitness for Copa America, but refuses to accept responsibility for the national team’s failure

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has admitted to battling a weight problem this summer as he struggles to regain full fitness.The Argentine says he had a "personal crisis" after a difficult close-season in which he struggled for his country at the Copa America and endured speculation over his future at City."I'm not the shit that they say I am. I had a personal crisis this summer," Tevez insisted. "I put on five or six kilos and had to check myself into a clinic. I was depressed and so I ate and ate. Only my family and my friends know this.

Tevez missed a crucial penalty at the Copa America in the Quarter Final

Tevez is yet to regain full fitness this season, and has made just one 22-minute substitute appearance in the 3-2 win at Bolton on 21 August. While he is City's top scorer for the past two seasons, Tevez has found himself outside of the team, Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero, both signed this year, have scored nine of City's 12 Premier League goals so far between them.Tevez had a poor Copa America, starting Argentina's first two games, but after failing to score, was dropped. He came on as a substitute in the quarter-final against Uruguay, but he missed the only penalty in the 5-4 shoot-out defeat.

Argentina coach Sergio Batista was dismissed, but Tevez insists it was not his fault. "People can criticise me if I don't play well," he said, "but they can't say 'he missed a penalty so the coach would be sacked.' It's the bad feeling towards me that I can't stand."Batista's replacement Alejandro Sabella did not i nclude Tevez for the friendlies Venezuela and Nigeria on Friday and Tuesday. "When I picked the squad, Tevez was not playing for Manchester City and gained weight," Sabella explained. "Good players like him are always in my plans."

Roma loan Real Madrid's Fernando Gago

2011-08-31T21:48:00.004+02:00

Roma have completed the transfer of Argentina international Fernando Gago from Real Madrid on a one-year loan deal. The move has been confirmed on the official website of Lega Serie A.

The Stadio Olimpico side were keen to add some more depth to their midfield and head coach Luis Enrique has now found his man in Gago.

The 25-year-old midfielder joined Madrid from Boca Juniors in January 2007 and has since made close to 100 official appearances for the Santiago Bernabeu side.

However, Gago was surplus to requirements at Real Madrid under head coach Jose Mourinho and therefore wanted to leave the club.

Gago is Roma's third signing on the final day of the summer transfer window after the previous captures of Simon Kjaer from Wolfsburg and Miralem Pjanic from Olympique Lyonnais.

Per Mertesacker To Arsenal

2011-08-31T20:55:00.007+02:00

The giant German centre-back has agreed personal terms with the Gunners and once formal registering processes are completed he will be unveiled by Arsene Wenger's side

Arsenal look set to complete their second signing on transfer deadline day after agreeing terms with Werder Bremen's Per Mertesacker in a deal believed to be around £10 million (€11.3m).

The German looks set to follow Andre Santos – who completed his transfer from Fenerbahce on Wednesday – to the club, as manager Arsene Wenger brings in more experienced players.

Mertesacker is a strong 6'6" defender and has 75 caps for Germany, adding a wealth of experience and knowledge at the highest level.The centre-back has played in the Bundesliga for eight seasons, making 221 appearances and scoring 19 goals in the process.

The 26-year-old will be a welcome defensive addition for Arsenal, who shipped eight goals in a historic defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.
The club have announced that the transfer will be completed once formal registration processes are completed.

UEFA Champions League Draw // Messi Voted UEFA Footballer Of The Year

2011-08-25T23:31:00.002+02:00

Manchester City will face a baptism of fire in their first season in the Champions League after being drawn in a tricky Group A alongside Bayern Munich, Villarreal and Napoli.

Barcelona will begin the defence of the trophy in a group containing AC Milan, BATE Borisov and Viktoria Plzen

Roberto Mancini's side may not have to face any domestic champions, but theirs is the standout group - with four-time champions Bayern determined to get to the final at their own Allianz Arena, Villarreal able to boast plenty of Champions League experience in recent years and Napoli emerging as one of the most exciting sides in Europe over the past 12 months, led by Marek Hamsik and Edinson Cavani.

Elsewhere, holders Barcelona will meet Italian champions AC Milan in one of the more enticing group stage match-ups, though those two will be comfortable favourites to progress from Group H, which also includes BATE Borisov and Viktoria Plzen.

Manchester United will have the chance to avenge the hurt of their 2005-06 Champions League campaign when they take on Benfica in Group C - the Red Devils finished bottom of their group six years ago after losing to the Portuguese giants in their final group game. FC Basel and Romanian minnows Otelul Galati make up what appears to be a fairly straightforward group for United, who were beaten by Barcelona at Wembley in May.

Group E provides a renewal of old acquaintances as Juan Mata makes an immediate return to Valencia with Chelsea, while former Blues midfielder Michael Ballack will be back at Stamford Bridge with Bayer Leverkusen. Belgian champions Racing Genk will face an uphill task to qualify as the group's fourth team.

Real Madrid and Lyon meet again, in Group D, as Jose Mourinho attempts to repeat the success he enjoyed against Les Gones in last season's second round, when the Spanish side won 4-2 on aggregate. Real will also be reunited with Dutch champions Ajax, whom they beat home and away in the 2010-11 group stage. Dinamo Zagreb make up the numbers.

In Group B, Inter Milan were drawn with CSKA Moscow, whom they beat in the quarter-finals on their way to glory in the competition in 2010, as well as French champions Lille and Trabzonspor.

After beating Udinese in Wednesday's play-off to progress, Arsenal will take on Marseille, Olympiakos and Borussia Dortmund in Group F, while Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St Petersburg and APOEL will collide in Group G.

After the group stage draw, Lionel Messi was named the winner of inaugural UEFA Best Player in Europe Award for 2010-2011. Messi's team-mate Xavi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo were the other nominees.

Spanish La Liga Strike Ends

2011-08-25T15:20:00.005+02:00

The Primera Division season will finally get under way on Saturday after a second weekend of strike action was averted.

Talks between the Liga de Futbol Profesional (LFP) and Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE) finally reached a resolution on Thursday afternoon.

The AFE announced earlier this month that players from the top two divisions in Spain would go on strike for the first two rounds of the 2011-12 season unless an agreement with the LFP was reached.

The AFE wanted a guaranteed fund to protect players' wages in the event of their clubs being declared insolvent.

According to the AFE, clubs in Spain owe around €50 million in unpaid salaries to more than 200 players from the end of last season.

A statement on the AFE website confirmed the matter was now resolved.

''The committee of the AFE and LFP have reached an agreement that ensured, through various means, the salaries of footballers,'' it read. ''After the meeting today between the AFE and the LFP, the strike scheduled for Friday August 26, Saturday August 27, Sunday August 28 and Monday August 29 is off.''

Discussions between the two parties last week failed to find a resolution, leading to the scheduled opening round of Primera Division and Segunda Division fixtures being postponed at the weekend, but the second round of matches includes champions Barcelona hosting Villarreal on Monday and Real Madrid travelling to Real Zaragoza on Sunday will now take place.
