On Monday, held in London on the appeal “citizens” for a work permit for the 22-year-old player’s team in Kenya. However, and here mankuniantsy were refused.
On the account Maringá 24 match for the Kenyan national team – it meets the criterion of 75% for international matches for their national team during the past two years. But Kenya is now only 98 in the FIFA rankings, as expressed above condition applies only to 70 best teams in the world.
Manchester City has the right to appeal and the sentence, however, even if the new appeal would be granted, the transition midfielder will not be able to issue in the winter transfer window. Most likely, the “citizens” to do so would not be, as the chief coach Roberto Mancini hoped to get Maringá now.
It is said that Maringá could become the first Kenyan in the Premier League. In midfield there is a valid contract with Parma FC until 2012, where he moved from the Swedish Helsingborg – first on loan, and then with the redemption of transfer.

Arsenal Lost at Home With Manchester United
Arsenal put a big doubt his claim to the champion’s title, giving home of Manchester United with a score of 1:3.
Sunday’s clash still managed to recover a central defender, Arsenal Thomas Vermaelen, so that Sol Campbell did not even make the reserve. At the starting line-up released midfielder Alexandre Song – for him this was the first match after returning from the African Cup. Also from the first minutes later, and Samir Nasri.
Contrary to expectations, in the not recovered Nemanja Vidic. And since Rio Ferdinand began serving his long disqualification, the duo in the center of defense “red devils” were Jonny Evans and Wes Brown. At the start of returned motor Ji-Sung Park, and the experienced Ryan Giggs was in stock. In the role of sole striker made the best Premier League goalscorer Wayne Rooney.
The first dangerous moment was created by the masters “Emireyts” for 3 minutes. Andrei Arshavin broke through on the left flank and do not become the transfer center at the free Nasri, decided to strike themselves with an acute angle – is inaccurate. Mankuniantsy answered a couple of dangerous backache from the right flank, but close to no one has.
At 13 minutes Arshavin again left Brown out in the cold and stayed in the far corner. The ball went in centimeters from the alignment of the gate. Gradually emerged from a slight advantage “Arsenal”, they looked fresher and faster with the ball. From Cesc Fabregas and Arshavin constantly pose a threat. As part of “United” does not matter looked both extreme defender – that Rafael Da Silva, that Patrice Evra.
Several attacks “red devils” has managed to hit an attacking enemy rush. A 33-minute visit, and all, opened the account. Nani cheated on the right edge of the two rivals, left and Denilson with an acute angle on the incredible trajectory of the ball threw the collar Manuel Almunia – 0:1. Golkiper only the fingertips touch the sphere.
Arsenal threw the losses, but the 36-minute run into the swift counter-attack “United.” Rooney gave a pass to Nani, who with his half of the field headed for the stranger free kick, and then returned the ball to the Englishman. Wayne in touch struck, scoring a goal in 100 Premier League and already 20 this season – 0:2.
At the 41 minute Nani could bury the “Gunners” – Paul Scholes threw the ball under attack by the Portuguese, he struck, but the ball brushed Vermaelen and left for the front line. All attempts by the home team play at least one goal before the break failed. Shots Arshavin and Song turned out inaccurate, and indeed for the first 45 minutes the Londoners only just hit the wing.
The second half started with another goal in the gate Almunia. Denilson lost the ball in midfield, and immediately three mankuniantsev jumped on the lone defender. Park to share with anyone else did not, sending the ball into the lapping of the near-rod – 0:3.
In the remaining time Arsenal spent time in the attacks, but without much success. Did not help the owners and the left by substitute Theo Walcott, Emmanuel Eboue and Nicklas Bendtner. “United” is too quiet for 80 minutes and still missed. This Vermaelen in the fall with a line struck free kick on the batted ball, he touched Evans and flew into the net gate – 1:3.
Goal, of course, gave the Gunners’ confidence, but their forces were not infinite, and the defense of “Red Devils” are no longer allowed mistakes. Already in compensated time, Rooney had a great time to scoring twice, but did not hit the wing doors. The guests brought the matter to the final victory.
Manchester United scored a deserved victory and approached to within 1 point to the leading Chelsea, which has a match in stock. In the lost points, Arsenal is now lagging behind the “blue” by 8 points – after a home defeat in November (0:3) from the very same Chelsea, the gap was 9, but as it turned out, this was not the end.
Raul May Pursue a Career in England
Agent striker Real Madrid Raul said that his client was considering switching to one of the clubs in the English Premier League in the foreseeable future.
The veteran has long been a legend of this club with the Santiago Bernabeu. However, this season the 32-year-old Raul is very difficult to break into the team, was strengthened in the summer transfer window.
The end of the existing agreement, a Spaniard with the “Real” is another 1.5 years. Agent Raul admitted that Chelsea had once tried to buy his client, but that deal did not materialize. However, an attacker may still be in England.
“It’s no secret that he always liked the Premier League. The only formal offer that we received came from Chelsea at a time when they bought Makelele.”
“The contract expires at the Raoul 2011. He is currently configured to work out its end. However, the season is very long, and could still change,” – said agent Gines Karavahal Raul told The People.
Arsenal – Manchester United. Review
On the eve of a key round of 24 match of the English Premier League, in which the “Emireyts” converge Arsenal and Manchester United, we suggest that you read the opinions of the defenders of each of the parties.
Arsenal:
For the first time in the history of British television and the football match of English Premier League (and any other league) will show a 3D quality. In the pubs of London, Manchester and Edinburgh Kardifaa can be ordered a pint of beer, put on special glasses and vtupitsya in plasma, watching Wayne Rooney, a lengthy and unrealistic real, at breakneck speed away from Sol Campbell. Or not go? Or not on Sol Campbell?
Interesting and does neprazdny question. As another, more important: who will win?
In the narrow circles of fans of Manchester United is now fashionable assertion: after the new year “red devils” newly reborn and now sweep away all in its path. Arsenal is, in their opinion, the team playing well with the weaklings, but before this monster is powerless Folded. Well ourselves calculate: Wayne Rooney, who scored 19 goals in the championship and the injured Eduardo da Silva. Or, three ha-ha, Nicklas Bendtner. Well, you can listen to their words, but you can just look at the football calendar. So, for the last ten matches of Manchester United scored 22 points, “Arsenal” at this time earned 24! Tellingly, the “Gunners” never lost, and the list of their rivals seems povnushitelnee “diabolical”. Manchester United was very good in games against Hull (twice), “Wigan” double “Wolves” visiting “Burnley”, “West Ham and Portsmouth. It is with these guys Ferguson’s teams have maximum points, but with teams of at least a little bit stronger (Fulham, Aston Villa, Birmingham City), it was not so simple. Rather, it was very difficult and bleak. Perhaps you can already assume that today’s Manchester United are not too confident playing against stronger teams. Moreover, the trend can be traced back to last season. Remember, in the last season champion “red devils” twice defeated Liverpool, scored a point in the duel with Arsenal and in the four games against Chelsea. In this they have already managed to play Chelsea and crisis Liverpool. It is true that beat Arsenal at home, with not too fair penalty. The trend is understandable, but do not really understand its origin. Why? Why United’s constantly losing points with the giants? Perhaps, because now “the devil” are not a formidable force, capable by class and power to beat any artists. The team Sir Alex a lot of weaknesses, which sees any more or less sophisticated adversary. Take defense. Vidic and Ferdinand, terrifying its inaccessibility in past seasons, have played alongside a few matches. And then, vaunted Rio Ferdinand very much like a Titus Bramble in a duel with Fernando Torres or the Manchester derby. And Vidic, it seems, hourly checks his mailbox to determine whether it offers from Real Madrid. Jonny Evans is to progress and stability just need an experienced partner. Now the injured Brown and O’Shea moderately experienced, but not too great Becky. In general, before the game with Arsenal in the defense “United” will have just healed the injured Vidic and Evans, which will allow plenty of frolic attack “Gunners”. It is also interesting who will help them at the right edge, because a stable player in this position Sir Alex no. Let me remind you that the Arsenal on the left side of attack will play Arshavin (if Nicklas Bendtner will be released in the start), so the young Raphael or old Neville will not oh, how sweet.
In midfield with mankuniantsev very crowded, but the number is not always determines the quality. Anderson is interested in “Lion” (not “Barcelona” with “Real” or even “Inter” and “Lion”), Carrick can not play, Fletcher excellent start of the championship, but quietly surrendered, Scholes alternate good games with failures. On the flanks are ageless Giggs, Nani is not maturing, not klassneyuschy Park and Valencia. The attack tore Rooney, but who will it help? Berbatov all the time preparing for the operation and a bit of straining his lethargy, and Owen shines on big holidays.
Patrice Evra is unlikely after the game will be able to say that this was a match of the men against children, for now Arsenal – this is not a group of kindergarten. Is it like a child’s Alexandre Song? Or Gallas, crudely played against a player Bolton and calmly continue the attack? Or perhaps Vermaelen? Or, Sol Campbell, who replaced Thomas, if he can not recover in time? No, it’s time to forget the stereotypes – “Gunners” are not long gathering of talented teenagers, it missed trophies professionals who are able to cross the principles for the sake of victory! And the cool players in the Gunners’ no less, because for every Rooney, Giggs and Ferdinand will find your Arshivin, Fabregas and Gallas!
Do not also forget that the game will take place at “Emiteyts Stadium, and at the stadium of Manchester United in the Premier League has never won. “Red Devils” can not win six consecutive away games against teams the big four (five of them “red” lost), and too little evidence to suggest that they can interrupt his sad series.
Manchester United:
After a long break mezhdusoboychiki “big four” again renewed. And they renewed deadly for Arsenal series of three matches against Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea in 11 days. This, if you take into account the recent battle and Aston Villa and Arsenal, Arsene Wenger could not remember since its appearance in England. And this is a very long time, it is worth to say.
Compounding the difficulties of Arsenal that the hospital did not even think to empty. This is already becoming a tradition – as soon as someone from the “Gunners” sign final clearance in the hospital, his place immediately took another. I think about it I have already written – the problem has already become a kind of constant, that is a permanent phenomenon, which can be tolerated or not, but we need to find some solutions.
Let’s start with defense. There are problems with both teams (remember the disqualification of Ferdinand), but the loss Vermaelen seems to me an irreparable loss, but the loss of Ferdinand … “MJ” somehow managed without Rio last few months, so I think there are options. A pair of Brown – Evans or Vidic – Evans, if yield any combination of these players with Ferdinand, then uncritically, because Rio is far from his best Conditions.
As for Arsenal, then this decision is a “problem Vermaelen, is likely to be so – will come from the first minutes of Sol Campbell, who were recently running in League 2 for” Notts County, then in general practice who was without a game for several months. With all due respect to the honored veteran, do not think it is more or less equivalent replacement Belgians, even in the first approximation. So already not sinless defense Wenger will be even more vulnerable.
Midfield Arsenal in all matches, which ran parallel with the African Cup, clearly not enough, as we now can say for sure, a key performer in the center of the field – Alex Songa. He had arrived in the camp home team, but that’s to play it? After a long flight Song did not sleep all night, and Wenger was sent home, so a little rest. Solve Monsieur Arsène, but that the probability of exit Songa mainly composed of not one hundred percent – obviously.
Most likely, the line midfield to take a look – Nasri, Fabregas, Denilson, Rosicky, which is good for the attacking power of the team, but can easily cause problems near their gates. Yet central bridgehead “MJ” in the form of a triangle Fletcher – Carrick – Scholes looks more balanced.
As far as the flank play, the last match in performance, Luis Antonio Valencia forced to completely forget about the “problem of Ronaldo – Ecuadorian finally found himself in” MJ “and issued a number of luxury matches, forcing mankuniantsev clearly reject the right vectors of their attacks. Moreover, the output during rest Ecuadorian Nani played well, which added a nice headache to Sir Alex – who is still used on the right flank …
But all this is nothing more than whist. Totus Ferguson in attack – the degree to which today form resides Wayne Rooney, should give food for thought Arsene Wenger and his defenders. And let poker (four of a kind, as someone like, it does not affect) the gate “Halla” someone would call pleasant thing, but not particularly important, but Wayne’s performance in the championship in the last ten matches – 12 goals scored, speak for themselves.
“Manchester” really can be reproached for this year only one match – in the FA Cup with Leeds when Ferguson’s team looked toothless in attack and did not create the proper number of points to be called the victory a “white” produced, thanks to luck. Lost time on the case, but the conclusions seem to have been made – “Burnley”, “Hull” and, most important, biggest rivals Manchester City in the League Cup semi-final were defeated in good style, with a promising game.
Yet not all have “MJ” is because I would like, but what the team is clearly gaining momentum closer to the start of the playoffs and obviously the Champions League match against Arsenal in this series should be an intermediate peak, for the one who wins will be able to more reason to expect a better chance in the title race, moreover, will supply self-confidence.
“Manchester” in this season with fellow “Big pho played not very convincing, but Arsenal something, just, beat, even though generally not the best game. “Gunners” are also not shone in those matches, winning only in crisis “Liverpool”, which in this company now can be applied only on the old memory. Much is significant in my opinion, matches against Manchester City – the opponent, which this season looks more dignified place in the Champions League rather than “red” (for now at least). And so it something Arsenal twice lost without question – and the championship and in the Carling Cup, unlike the “DOJ”, though “with teeth”, but gained two victories and here and there.
The match promises to be as always an interesting, intense and will mean for both teams very much, because it is possible that ended with a score, which will try and make a bet.
Manchester United Offer Rooney New Contract
Manchester United is preparing to propose to his attacker Wayne Rooney a new contract that will allow an Englishman among the top five highest paid players in the world.
As the News of the World, on Tuesday the executive director of the “Red Devils” David Gill has already held its first preliminary meeting with the football agent Paul Stretford.
Club to Old Trafford will try to accommodate all the wishes of 24-year-old England player to coming summer to invite him to sign a contract already agreed upon. Manual United’s hopes to announce the renewal of cooperation with Rooney before the start of the season 2010/11.
Rooney will be offered a new contract with a base salary of 120 thousand pounds, plus various bonuses. Similar conditions were also in Cristiano Ronaldo in his last year in England. Wayne, who already made 21 goals this season, will seriously improve its financial position through additional prize money.
For example, if Rooney is the player of the Year by FIFA, he will receive from the club of 250 thousand pounds as a bonus. If he is named Player of the Year Professional Footballers Association (PFA), you will earn 100 thousand pounds. Same 100 thousand he received for winning the European Golden Boot “and 50 thousand pounds, if he becomes the leading scorer in the Premier League.
According to preliminary estimates, by signing a new contract, Rooney will become the top five highest paid players in the world. Earnings ex-striker Everton will be comparable with the amount of money that they get Lionel Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Add that, in the meantime, Gill said the club “will never sell Rooney, despite the fact that those rumored to be seriously interested in the Spanish grandees, through Barcelona and Real Madrid.” Wayne will remain at Old Trafford, no matter how beneficial it was not a proposal for its purchase.
“While Alex (Ferguson) did not give their consent, we will reject any proposal, no matter how big it was. We want to keep that player” – quoted Gill BBC.
