Many players are rumored to change clubs during the January transfer window. Some players don't sign new contracts offered by the club because of many reasons. Some times it's because the club doesn't meet their wage demands or the want to get more first team action or even maybe because they want to play another position on the pitch.
Demba Ba: (Newcastle United) The Senegalese striker hasn't signed a new contract with the magpies. He wants to be paid 83,000 a week. Many clubs want him because he is joint top scorer in the premier league with Robin van Persie with 13 goals. It has been said that Arsenal, Chelsea are interested. I think he will join Chelsea because Arsene Wenger recently said that they will not sign Demba Ba. Chelsea have triggered his $12.23 million release-clause and are negotiating his wages. Chelsea are in need of a striker after Sturridge was sold to Liverpool for $19.57 million. Without Sturridge Fernando Torres id the only senior striker.
Darren Bent: (Aston Villa) Aston Villa bought Darren Bent from Sunderland for $29.35 million. Having recently fallen through with manger Paul Lambert he will most likely look for a new club. Many clubs are reported interested in the English forward. QPR and Liverpool are interested but since Liverpool signed Sturridge they will most likely not go for Bent. Qpr are bottom of the league and need a player who can score. I think QPR is his best option. Harry Redknapp worked with him during his reign at Tottenham. A move abroad would not be a good choice.
Fernando Llorente: (Athletic Bilbao) Fernando rejected a contract extension with Bilbao. He is a poacher and can score goals. Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Man Utd are all interested. All of these clubs are a good option but very unlikely to happen. Chelsea are close to capturing Ba. Man Utd already have 4 senior strikers. Man City have 4 strikers as well. Arsenal might move for him. His best option to stay in Spain because thats his home country. His best option is to sign a new deal with Bilbao.
Thanks Nawin for posting your views on the January transfers. I hope Demba Ba will prove useful to Chelsea and Daniel Sturidge, a talented and perspective striker will get first team play at Anfield.
ReplyDeleteya me too. Hopefully Sturidge will play better and devolep more. Demba Ba's transfer could see Torres play less often. :(
