Neymar takes a dig at Barça

Neymar Jnr insists leaving Barcelona for Paris St Germain will not be the end of his football career after scoring a goal at his debut game. The Brazil international made an impact in his first game since completing a world-record 222million euro (£200.6million) move with a goal and an assist as PSG cruised to a 3-0 win at Guingamp. Critics argued that leaving Barcelona for Ligue 1 is a set back, but the 25-year-old is happy to prove them wrong and his content at the moment. “I knew it would be very difficult to leave Barca but I am very happy to be here,” he said in quotes reported by L’equipe, “People think that you die after leaving Barca, but no, it’s the opposite. I’m more alive than ever, I play, I’m very happy. The country, the city and the team change, but football is the same.” After Jordan Ikoko’s own goal gave PSG a 52nd-minute lead, Neymar brilliantly set up Edinson Cavani to make it 2-0 before opening his account for the club with a simple close-range finish with eight min...

Dele Alli Refuses To Rule Out Tottenham Exit

-
Dele Alli says he “can’t see many good places” to get better than under Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham.
The England star has become great possession  in just two spells at Spurs following his £5million move from MK Dons.

Spanish giants Real Madrid are one of those to have been connected with Alli, who has netted 31 goals since landed in London. 
Even though he admitted that it is impossible to predict the future, the 21-year-old insists he is happy to be a member of Pochettino's young squad who will reach the runners-up to Chelsea, the Premier League champions.
“We all want to achieve stuff,” Alli said in a Sky Sports interview.
“It’s a good place to be, and with the manager we’ve got here I can’t see many better places for me personally to improve.
“It’s a fantastic club to be a part of. We’re all looking to learn together and build together and be as successful as we can.
“You never say what’s going to happen in the future, no-one knows, no-one can predict it.
“For me, it’s important that I enjoy the journey – whether I stay at Tottenham for the rest of my career or one day I have to leave and it’s the right thing for me to do.”
Alli also dropped some unpleasant news for Premier League defenders as he sound a warning to them that he is becoming extremely good in front of goal.
He has more than doubled the 10-goal draw of his first Spurs season, with 21 goals to his name in all competitions heading into the final league game of the season at Hull on Sunday.
“I’ve still got a lot to improve on,” he said. “But I’ve got more clinical, especially as the season’s gone on.
“I’ve scored a few goals, but I could have scored a lot more.
“At the start of the season I was missing some sitters, but I’ve been working hard with the staff on the training field to make sure I start putting those chances away.”
Alli, however, has drawn some criticism for the way he plays the game.
A charge was level against him for diving after winning a penalty in the December win over Swansea, and he was sent off for a wild tackle on Gent’s Brecht Dejaegere during a Europa League last-32 tie in February.
But Alli said: “I’ve not really worked on my temperament, I’ve learned from my mistakes.
“It’s not something I’m worried or concerned about, because if I didn’t have that (aggression) in my game I might not have achieved as much as I have.
“I’m not looking to change, because it’s not something that’s going to come out of me.
“It’s just the way I am. I enjoy playing football, I love winning and sometimes I can get carried away.
“But it’s all about winning, and I’ll never apologise for wanting to win as much as I do.”

Diego Costa demands Chelsea exit

-

Chelsea striker Diego Costa has expressed his disapproval concerning the club's treatment of him this summer and said he is “not a criminal” as he hope for a move to Atletico Madrid. Costa claims he was told he was not wanted by the Italian manager Antonio Conte via text message in the summer, has yet to exit Stamford Bridge but did not return from his post-season break. The 28-year-old said he was happy at the club until Conte made it clear he had no future in his team, and now wants to return to his former club he left in 2014 before joining Chelsea. Costa said he is yet to report for training as he does not want to train with the Chelsea's reserves, and is enjoying his stay in Brazil and paying club fines until his future is decided.  “I am waiting for Chelsea to set me free. I didn’t want to leave. I was happy. When the manager does not want you, you have to go,” he told the Daily Mail. “In January, things happened with the coach. I was on the brink of renewing my contract ...

Mike Ashley admits Newcastle errors; regrets on Allardyce and stadium

Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley opened up that his naivety made him make some "unacceptable" decisions when he first took over the club.  In an exclusive interview with  Sky Sports , which will be aired on Sunday evening’s ‘Mike Ashley: Speaks Direct’ special on Sky Sports Premier League at 7pm, the 52-year-old directly disclosed all, following the marking of his 10 years at St James’ Park. Ashley declared that he was too fast to sever all ties Allardyce had with the players in 2008 after buying the club, and also should not have renamed the stadium to the Sports Direct Arena, but that all his wrong actions were in hindsight. When asked to give a description of himself throughout his 10-year work, Ashley told David Craig: “Very naïve in the beginning. In the middle I thought I was just about beginning to get my arms around it a little bit, we had a manager on an eight-year contract [Alan Pardew]. “We had the finance right, talked about investing in the training ground and ...

Antoine Griezmann to consider Man Utd offer after U-turn

Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann is reportedly still considering an offer to join Manchester United this summer. The offer has been connected with a move to Old Trafford since the beginning of the summer and a possible twist at Atletico could provoke him to leave for the Premier League. A report in  Don Balon  claims the Frenchman would be willing to join United if Atletico decided to sell goalkeeper Jan Oblak to PSG. The 26-year-old was a target for United when David De Gea’s future was gloomy, is being tipped to move to the big-spending French giants and Griezmann believes that would show a lack of ambition on Atletico’s part and would proboke him to quit. The forward had previously stated that there was a ‘6 out of 10’ chances  that he would be playing in England this season while he also felt that he would be letting Atletico down by leaving now, given their current transfer ban. However, Oblak’s potential exit could then emit a bidding war for Griezmann, wh...
