Will James Rodriguez leave Real Madrid this summer?
Real Madrid’s No.10 James Rodriguez has endured some difficult moments at Santiago Bernabeu and the summer ahead of us could be decisive when it comes to the future of the Colombia international.
An impressive World Cup showing was more than enough of a recommendation for to pounce for the Colombia international back in 2014 and spend no less than €80 on what had been deemed as both fashionable and high-quality signing from AS Monaco at the time.
Having become the most expensive Colombian footballer and one of the most expensive ones in general at the time, Rodriguez was forced to battle high expectations from the football world.
The bar was raised immediately as Rodriguez was handed the famous num…
Arsene Wenger claims that Arsenal s move to Emirates Stadium in 2006 was the most difficult time of his life.
The Gunners left Highbury for their new 60,000-seater home in time for the 2006-07 campaign after spending more than £400million to construct the state-of-the-art venue.
A loan taken out to finance the ground significantly curtailed Arsenal s spending power in the transfer market, meaning Wenger was forced to watch key players including Ashley Cole, Samir Nasri, Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie depart his squad.
Wenger has been widely praised for maintaining their Champions League status until this season, but he has also been criticised for his record of securing no major trophies between 2005 and 2014.
The 67-year-…
Maximilian Wittek s second-half strike condemned an insipid Tottenham to a 1-0 loss against Vitesse in the Europa Conference League.
Spurs had won just two of their last seven away games in European competition before Thursday and their struggles on the road showed in a timid opening 45-minute showing.
However, the visitors were unfortunate to not go ahead after the interval at the GelreDome as Bryan Gil rifled onto the woodwork in an otherwise uneventful first hour of football.
Nuno Espirito Santo s side, who rested Harry Kane entirely for the trip to Holland, were eventually made to pay for their lacklustre performance when Wittek drilled in from the edge of the area to end Spurs unbeaten start in the competition and leave them third in Group G.

Aymeric Laporte has insisted he is paying little attention to the political agenda driving criticism of his surprise selection in the Spain squad for Euro 2020.
Born in Agen in the south of France, the defender represented Les Bleus youth teams from U17s level all the way through to the U21s.
He was also twice called up by the senior national side but injury and a failure to convince manager Didier Deschamps of his worth meant he had not made an appearance by the age of 27.
However, an eight-year stint with Athletic Bilbao meant Laporte, whose great grandparents hailed from the Basque region, remained eligible for Spain, and Luis Enrique took advantage by including him in the squad for this summer s European Championship.

Nuno Espirito Santo hailed the unity demonstrated by Tottenham in their 1-0 EFL Cup fourth-round win over Burnley.
Lucas Moura s 68th-minute header proved the difference at Turf Moor as Spurs progressed to the quarter-finals of the competition for the third time in four seasons.
The visitors were made to dig deep as Burnley pushed for an equaliser late on, but they held out for victory and a first clean sheet in 11 matches in all competitions.
Nuno felt his players deserved credit for their application as they responded to Sunday s Premier League defeat at West Ham.
We did a good job controlling the way they play, he said. We were much better in the second half in terms of mobility and dynamic.
The end of the match is about defendi…
