How Impulsive will Van Gaal’s Shopping Impulse Be?



One thing for sure, United’s new Manager will have an open wallet to assemble an all-around contender, in what many have dubbed it, as an impulsive shopping spree valued in the millions.

Indeed, a total of £ 150 million pounds to reinforce and create an all-around contender is in the works and planned by the Red Devils newly appointed top boss. 

That’s what the initial plan is, after revealing a long list of players that the Red Devils skipper unveiled yesterday; it sure looks like an ambitious endeavor to fulfill!

Still many will say with that kind of monies, it’s possible, but with the long list of big names on that row  of top rated players, Manu will try to reinforce its ailing midfield with new and young blood.

As well we can say a new dynamic to be injected in its game as well one that can lift the Red Devils into top positions once held by their past campaigns.

This legendary club as we all know, is touted as one of the moist important and popular in the world, still in the preceding campaign that just finished, their mediocre and erratic playing made many lose hope on them.

It’s when this club went to a new era in what’s considered a an ace under the sleeve in this man Managerial span filled with a lot of shield’s as well glorious stories in his career. 

Louis Van Gaal will have the challenge of his life when he makes his debut in what many has considered a very dynamic and difficult league to Manage in the English Premier League.
 
A challenge is a challenge, for this Dutchman that has won several trophies as well conquered leagues of the likes of the Bundesliga, La Liga and his native Eredivisie, where he has won its all.

And with squads of the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Az Alkmar and Ajax; all of these considered the top squads in football and now Manchester United to be added in his outstanding managerial resume.

I must say what a list and names that many will consider as the God’s of the Field, with names that range from Bayer Munich: Tony Kross, Holger Badstuber and Mario Mandžukić.

Also other names in Van Gaal’s wish list include Barcelona’s Cesc Fabregas, Edinson Cavani PSG, Borussia Dortmund Marco Reus and Mats Hummels, Eintracht Frankfurt Sebastian Jung and Luke Shaw from Southampton.

Many will say what a list of candidates to come to play at Old Trafford, as Van Gall has set his sights and shopping spree at the German Bundesliga, something that will consider a challenge to see in the upcoming months and results after the World Cup.

Hail to the Merseyside Reds



Hail to Liverpool’s fab eleven and their one of a kind campaign, as Manager Brendan Rodgers never thought that this campaign, would it been a dream one for his Bhoys and the whole of Merseyside.

An awesome campaign is in the books of the English Premier League, after seeing how the fight for this edition Shield and top, became a serious and competed one. 

With five squads left at the end, the EPL top was dominated by the Arsene Wegner North London club Arsenal Gunners, followed closely by clubs of the likes of Chelsea, Everton, Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool.                                                                                  



It’s when the Anfield Bhoys really became serious and made a top notch move to capture the league top, posting a winning streak as well adding points to their favor; this entity looked like a sure fit for the Barclays Shield!

Unfortunately, things didn’t work at all in favor of this Merseyside club, after that meltdown at home with a determined and spoiler of a Crystal Palace squad and that horrible loss at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, turning things around suddenly for the Reds!

For the Reds Skipper this one of a lifetime experience and almost capture was a lesson well taught for him and his chaps, that for sure will return hungry for more and looking to be a dominant force not to be mess with in Premiership.

After all Rodgers brought an outstanding order in its initial eleven as well gave a new look and image to once bad boy Luis Suarez, that became the league top scorer followed closely by  another of his mates in Daniel Sturridge.

What a year not to be forgotten in Anfield, in that almost run for the shield, still this club top brass will really planned along its man at the helm, how to reinforce their weakest areas of that wonderful initial eleven that made everyone dream in league circles!        

As they say, there’s always a next year and for sure the Reds will be fighting for the league overall top as well supremacy over its rival’s in what promises to be another contested edition of the English Premier League.
 
Still there’s a new campaign in the works along the commentaries and predictions of many experts that Liverpool would have a tough time seeking the top after clinching a spot in the always prestigious Champions League, something that the Anfield squad can prove anyone wrong.

Bravo once again Liverpool Reds and the whole of Merseyside that almost saw its club out of this world efforts and gave us a magnificent spectacle on their quest for the title as well making a much contested run in this edition of Premiership.

Those Defiant Shamrock Rovers Pursuing the Top



It really looks like this campaign the SEE Airtricy League will be one competed entity, by the looks of its standings in every week of play as well a change on its top position.

A slow start for the Bhoys of Tallaght, wasn’t a reason to give up the whole campaign, as Manager Trevor Croly really has put on his best efforts to break that shield drought.

Very well make that yearn for return to this club’s old glory days, as well league overall dominance, currently held by its cross town rivals the Pats.

Still with a long trek as well multiple matches to play in the remainder of this edition of league play, the Hoops are on the verge of improvement as well maintain their hegemony in the top of the league overall table.

By just one point in a key win over a modest and recently promoted Athlone Town that hasn’t seen the light or savored a victory in their top league debut, still a win is a win that placed the Rovers well atop the league table.

With just one point advantage over a resurgent Dundalk FC squad, the Shamrocks really are looking like an all-around contender in the remainders of this campaign.   

Although their recent loss in a match dubbed as an exhibition at Tallaght, nothing was lost after seeing its locals succumb to a 4-0 score over a talented Liverpool Reds squad.

Still Manager Croly really put his efforts and strategies’ into good use, as his substitutions really put on a show and the final score showed the opposite, still the Hoops got a good upper hand. 

Coming back to league play and back to back wins in the Airtricity League, the Rovers really took matters into their own and score a couple of key wins in a week’s period to place them in first place by now.

In upcoming compromises the Shamrocks really are looking to make things miserable to their cross town rivals in the Leinster Senior Cup were this chaps are looking to embarrass and get the win in this event.

As in their busy schedule, the Hoops have back to back matches in the Leinster Cup against the Pats and after that the Bohemians, the Rovers will have their hands full in this 2014 edition of the Dublin Derby, looking to show off who’s the squad to beat!

The Gunners Wembley’s Feat over a Stunned Tigers



The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, is what we can describe of this edition of the FA Cup, after witnessing a furious comeback from an ambitious and determined Gunners.

Arsene Wegner’s lads made the all-around achievement of ending a trophy less drought at Emirates as well exorcising some demons out of the French Managers back.

Stunned, indeed is what we can say of the Tigers man at the helm Steve Bruce, after seeing his chaps mount an early lead as well dominance of the match, until their collapse at the final minutes.

This campaign, many squads of Premiership as well matches show a much contested competition in every one played and regardless of the scores and advantage held in each one, the results were determined in the end.                                                                                 



Tell that to a flabbergasted Hull City initial eleven that saw its efforts down the drain and hopes undermined of obtaining the FA Cup and take it into their halls at KC Stadium.      

Along of the many disappointed Tiger fans that made the trek into the Cathedral of Football Wembley Stadium to see their Bhoys pull an upset that didn’t happen.

Still I do applaud the Hull City FC squad for putting on a top of the line show as well a worthy spectacle and out of this world effort.

As well in their initiative of displaying a top of the line performance worth of champion squad as this small entity that really surprised many in this edition of Premiership.

At the end the drama is over and the cup will be staying at this North London squad halls at Emirates Stadium, this as a trophy that rewards a club that almost did the grand feat in EPL by staging for a good while a primer position atop Premiership.

Until their demise and some players injuries and collapse of the amount of matches played as well an exhausting EPL league schedule as well competitions in which Arsenal took part as the always hectic and stressful Champions League were Wegner’s chaps did their part.

With this win on London’s top club in Arsenal, their faithful followers really enjoyed a grand campaign were now they dream of the upcoming one and the players to reinforce their roster and compete for the top positions.                                                                             

For now the Arsenal Gunners really did it and took the silverware home as a tribute to their skipper’s efforts to place them as a competitive entity, until next English Premier League that promises to be another exciting and competitive tourney.


                                          Celebrate Good Times and the FA Cup Feat!
