Lescott deals get delayed
Manchester City has been making a deal for Everton centre-back Joleon Lexcott but the deal is getting delayed. The Everton Boss, David Moyes, criticizes the move of Manchester as the player has already missed two matches of Everton.
Everton Boss decided to sell the defender considering the poor attitude of the player. The player is expected to have a medical test on Monday after Manchester City makes a deal which satisfies the Everton. On the other side, if Manchester City made the deal successfully, then they will cross £100 in this season. Also when Madrid made the deal for Cristiano Ronaldo for £80 with Manchester United, they didn’t take that much time to make such a large deal.
Everton Boss, David Moyes, criticized as:
“We shouldn’t have been asked to wait this long for an amount we think was the correct value for him. Madrid came in with the money (£80m for Cristiano Ronaldo) for Man United the week after the end of the season. “I would suggest that is a positive sign, although whether or not anything is concluded only time will tell.”
Arsene Wenger compares Diaby to Vieira
Abou Diaby is the current player of Arsenal who is playing a lead role to for the club. He scored two goals in the latest win against Portsmouth. Similarly Patrick Viere was also playing the lead role for years before he shifted to Juventus and after one year he left the same club for Inter Milan.
Shortly after he signed for the club, he got injured and could not play for the game. Now he set up ready to play for the coming important matches. Diaby has the ability to quickly change from defence to attacking position.
Arsenal Boss, Wenger, said:
“His ability to win the ball back is just like Vieira. He is capable of a very quick transitions from defence to attack and has fantastic strength box to box, nobody can go with him. Diaby is a bit more offensive than Vieira but when he plays a more defensive role he is very similar. He worked very hard in the summer and this could be his season. He has prepared very well, looks sharp and strong and has everything for a Premier League midfielder. If it’s a little pull he will be out for three weeks, if it’s tightness he could make Wednesday. We will see in the next 48 hours.
Culverhouse will become the assistant manager
Culverhouse is a very popular in the history of Canaries. He was playing for Norwich City for a long time in 1990’s and he made a total appearance of 369 games for Norwich. He has been selected as the assistant manager to Paul Lambert who is the newly selected manager of Norwich City.
The head of football operations, Gary Karsa, will jointly work with Culverhouse and Lambert and they worked together at Colchester and Wycombe also. Now the trio will be the best combination and people hope many good players from Norwich City under their management.
Culverhouse said:
“It’s great. I’ve always had affection for the club, it was a major part of my career. Now we’ve got a job to do. We’ve got some good players who need a little bit of help. Hopefully we can guide them in the right way.”
Culverhouse ideas about Lambert and his new career as:
“He’s a very good man-manager, that’s his great strength. He won’t really get close to people. He keeps his distance but he earns respect through the person he is. These players will certainly know when they’ve done well, and they’ll certainly know when they’ve let him down. I think they’ll enjoy his management. These players here need help, they need a bit of confidence and they need the crowd right behind them. I know how passionate the fans are here, they’ll play a massive part for us this season but it’s up to us to give them something to shout about.”

Yuri Zhirkov said:
“I don’t know who spread these rumours, but they don’t correspond to reality. My condition has improved and the doctors say that in two or three days I will be able to return to training, although not fully. I’ll work on an individual programme. I was feeling pain and noticeably limping when running, but now that’s behind me. I just need to tone up the leg.”
