Back with another edition of the Soccerlens Roundup – Henry as a 19-year kid, more West Ham takeover talks, the wrath of Arsenal fans, the low-key El Classico and a look at the weekend’s matches as well.
West Ham Takeover
They’re at it again. Before it was Magnusson increasing his bid and pushing Terry Brown, and now Kia Joorabchian, the man who earlier came into the picture with the ‘acquisition’ of Tevezcherano by West Ham. Joorabchian has recently met with Brown, and the key factor here is the price each man (or consortium) is willing to pay.
Magnusson may not be willing to go over 75 mil, whereas KJ could play for bigger stakes.
How West Ham’s recent Premiership form will impact this takeover, that’s anyone’s guess. Too good to go down What matters is whether they can deliver in the form of goals, and against Tottenham today they will have a chance to prove themselves as Premiership regulars.
European Review
Champions League: United won, Arsenal lost, Chelsea won, Barcelona lost, Liverpool won, Madrid won, Lyon and Milan won…yea, I know you already know.
UEFA Cup: Hahahahaha…
(Ok ok, all British teams won, big deal.)
Arsenal Fans
Soccerlens does not have very cordial relations with Arsenal fans, mainly due to a couple of incidents during the World Cup where I said that Henry wasn’t showing enough class, and I got slated for insulting his honour.
It seems that I’ve done it again over at BlogFC. Shame on me for expressing my opinion in public
