Phillipe Coutinho will remain a Barcelonaplayer after the club admitted that a move away will not happen this summer.

Leave a comment

The reason Barcelona wanted to move Coutinho on was not just because he isn’t giving the expected level of performance, but also from an economic standpoint, as the Brazilian is one of the highest earners at the Camp Nou.

In addition to relieving themselves of his salary, it would also have given Barcelona more room to manoeuvre in their pursuit of Neymar.

Barcelona are short on funds and know that the only way they can make a move for Neymar happen is to include players in a hypothetical offer.

Despite his poor performances in the Barcelona shirt, Coutinho still has good standing in Europe, and the Blaugrana consider this a good starting point for negotiations with PSG.

The only issue is that PSG don’t want to sit down and negotiate with them and would rather sell Neymar to another team.

Unfinished business
Putting aside the Neymar and Coutinho cases, Barcelona have a lot of work to do after their US tour as outgoing operations remain unfinished.

There are plenty of players, particularly midfielders, whose futures need resolved as soon as possible, ideally before the start of the LaLiga Santander season.

Rafinha, Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal all need clarification, just as they did before departing for the USA, and they have now been joined by Riqui Puig, who could leave to get first team football elsewhere.

Black Stars players’ earnings should not be made public – Asamoah Gyan

Leave a comment

“Honestly, sometimes we don’t listen to the radio but we have family and friends who listen. Sometimes we get the news and hear what is going on. We feel that instead of us focusing on training for the tournament, these issues are brought up.

“Why should we talk about money when we are preparing for a tournament? Ghana is the only country where people want to know how much players earn. That’s the problem I personally have,” Gyan told Accra-based station Joy FM.

When asked whether he felt the public should be told how much the players earn for participating in tournaments, Gyan replied “no”.

“Everything that happens stays in camp. The inside things stay in camp. That’s why I’ve said over again that politics in football will not work.,” he added.

Link Leave a comment

Not too long ago, Strongman was mocked by social media users when old furniture, old standing fan as well as curtains in his living room was captured on camera.
This secret was exposed when his lyrical beef with rapper Medikal was ongoing. But to prove to critics that he’s not broke as perceived by the public, Strongman has refurbished his living room with  air conditioner as well as new curtains.

It could be recalled that Strongman in an interview with Delay most recently was asked to let Ghanaians privy to his financial situation especially how he’s coping with his girlfriend, Nana Ama.
In the said interview, Strongman declared his broke status null and void citing how he’s able to foot DSTV monthly bills without stress. So, this goes a long way to prove that Strongman has a dapper pocked contrary to public perception.

Lampard realistic but determined to lead Chelsea to more glory as manager.| Mystoryline

Lampard realistic but determined to lead Chelsea to more glory as manager. AGAIN The new Chelsea manager says there were “honest conversations” rather than Luiz going on strike but it was also pretty clear that there were no guarantees he would play.

“It’s easy to lose sight of the fact the club came third last year – the players came third, the management – and won the Europa League so they are used to being up there and competing,” said Lampard.

“And I don’t want, and I said this to the players the first time I spoke to them, talk of the ban, I don’t want talk of what is success, what might be success and any lowering of standards.
“I want to set out as we should do. And when I looked around the room I was looking at top players everywhere, and a big squad full of quality.

“This is where it really begins. We had a good pre-season and now the real stuff is coming, you can feel it in the air. I’m excited and the players are excited and now we have to deliver.”

But, again, Lampard refuses to say that they are just aiming for a place in the top four because that was never him as a player and nor will it be him as a manager.

Lampard said: “We will aim to win and of course this club wants to be in Champions League football every year. We managed to do that last year and I would love to be able to do that again for us.

Lampard added: “We are all driven in different ways. I used to hate being subbed, I used to hate being dropped. I was terrible. I wouldn’t want to manage myself in certain ways!

“I did it purely as a football decision. That was on both sides. It was not only the way I see things but the way David was seeing things. I was once that 32 year old and I left here at 35. It was slightly different but I wanted honesty and respect.

“It went both ways. We are also big characters so when we do talk, then it is serious. We don’t beat around the bush, we got to the point pretty quickly and that was it.”

Ghanaians destroyed ‘Angel’ Kwesi Nyantakyi within 48 hours – Asamoah Gyan on joy fm

Leave a comment

“He [Kwasi Nyantakyi] was like an angel sent to help Ghana Football. Let’s look at the peak he elevated our game to the world,”

”The man was mishandled and treated unfairly by Ghanaians after the so called video exposé. We should have opened an in-depth investigation into the matter.

“I have worked with him for several years and I know the kind of person, I am talking about today. He rose the highest level of world football to become Caf first-vice president and a Fifa Executive Council Member but we used less than 48 hours to bring him down.

“Our football hasn’t been better since Kwasi Nyantakyi absence. It’s very sad. Whether we like it or not, Ghana made the three appearances at the FIFA World Cup because of him.”

Valverde: I’m not thinking about Neymar

Leave a comment

“That’s just an assumption,” Valverde responded when asked if Neymar’s arrival would distort the balance at the club.

“We’ll see what happens, but you already know the usual answer which is that he’s a player of another team and so on.

“I know what I have, what I’m working with and who I’m counting on.

“What happens, we’ll see. We don’t know what’ll happen and I’m not thinking about it. I’ll think about it tomorrow.”

Barcelona have already added some names this summer, and the boss is happy with what he has to work with.

“I’m always happy with the players I have,” Valverde explained.

“They’re very good. Even last year we almost had a perfect season.

“Now we’ve made four important additions and we have to try to improve.”

Ivan Rakitic is one player who has been linked with an exit before the window closes though, despite Valverde’s insistence that he is a player being counted on.

“He’s very important for us,” Valverde said.
“His work is there. Right now I don’t know if he’ll stay, but I’m counting on him, as I am with everyone we have.

“In principle, nothing makes me think I won’t have him.”
