Wojciech Szczesny Father Criticized Wenger For Son Lost Of Form


Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger must take some responsibility for the drop in form of keeper Wojciech Szczesny - according to the player's father.
Szczesny was axed for the Champions League game against Bayern Munich last week, with Wenger claiming the 22-year-old had been "mentally affected" by the number of games played.
The Poland international was then put on the bench for the Premier League win at Swansea, where Lukasz Fabianski kept a second consecutive clean sheet.
Szczesny has joined up with the Poland squad ahead of their World Cup Group H qualifiers against Ukraine and San Marino, but Southampton keeper Artur Boruc is expected to be first choice, with Brighton's Tomasz Kuszczak providing support.
Maciej Szczesny - who won seven caps for Poland and helped Legia Warsaw reach the quarter-finals of the 1995-96 Champions League - feels Wenger needs to look at how he handled his son, who has been hampered by a series of niggling injury problems.
In an interview with Poland's leading sport daily paper Przeglad Sportowy, the senior Szczesny said: "Wenger already started to look for the scapegoat. It is not the way the boss should behave.
"Wojciech has had two serious injuries. He played with one in April and May (last year). He shouldn't have agreed to play that time, but the coach insisted.
"Wojciech did not train the whole week and then a warm up on Friday and played the match on Saturday. He was naturally more susceptible to minor injuries and his form was going down.
"Wenger was playing with the young man's good health and Wojciech agreed foolishly.
"In my opinion Mr Wenger messed up a lot in April and May. I don't blame the young man who went along with his coach, his current lack of form is a result of those two months.
"Then in August there was a foot (ankle) injury after which he played almost instantly.
"After seven weeks out Wojciech trained for just seven days and played the match. How on earth can he be on his highest form?"
Despite taking Szczesny out of the firing line and warning no-one can be guaranteed of a place in the team - not even captain Thomas Vermaelen - Wenger has said Szczesny is part of his long-term plans, having brought the youngster through the Arsenal Academy after signing from hometown side Legia Warsaw in 2006.
Szczesny Snr is confident his son will soon establish himself as the Arsenal number one again.
"This last period has not been successful for Wojciech, the fact that Arsene Wenger did not take him to Munich shows something," Maciej Szczesny added.
"However, I think my son can be the number one (Arsenal) keeper over 10 years, he just needs to come back to form and then a situation where we can stop to wonder who will stand between the posts."

Sir Alex Ferguson praised michu And Swansea


Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed the signing of Michu, while heaping  praise on Swansea's exploits this current season with a fine form and a trophy already.
Michael Laudrup's side signed  the striker for just £2 million last summer, and the Spaniard has proved to be one of the signings of the season, hitting 19 goals already.
Swansea themselves have also impressed, with Laudrup guiding the Welsh club to their first major honour, winning the Capital One Cup last month.
"Swansea have been terrific," Ferguson said on Manchester United's official website. "The boy Michu has been a revelation. To sign him for just £2 million and get 20 goals [19 goals] out of him - what a bargain!
"I wouldn't say Swansea have been the surprise package but they've really lifted their performances. They were a newly-promoted side last year and managed to survive in the top flight. This season, they've kicked on to another level and become a good middle-to-top side.
"They also won the League Cup of course and they play really good football. I'd say they're the team of the year with Michu a real bargain buy."

Mourinho Dismiss Agreement to Leave


Jose Mourinho has dismissed reports that he has reached an agreement with Real Madrid to leave at the end of the season.
Mourinho is widely reported to have a less than smooth relationship with club president Florentino Perez, and it is expected that he will not continue as the coach of Real Madrid at the summer
But the Portuguese manager- who has been reported to be moving to Chelsea at the end of the season - is adamant that an agreement is already in place
"I have no agreement with Real Madrid to go. I have signed nothing, that's a nonsense," Mourinho told RTP.
"The criticism? Nothing affects me, nothing bothers me. I do not go crazy nor do I get depressed. Nothing motivates me more than my own motivation."
He was again asked  about his future and said: "My future? I am not training outside of Spain, England, Italy or France."
Mourinho was nominated for the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or Coach of the Year award, but he did not attend the gala and he criticised the voting policy.
"I don't regret not attending the gala at all," he said.
"One, two or three people phoned me to tell me that they had voted for me and later, when the list of votes was published, another name appeared by their votes. That was why I decided not to go to the gala.
"I'm accusing FIFA of irregularities in the vote for best manager in the world. There was a lack of transparency. FIFA was aware of these irregularities, knowing they were there, but did nothing to avoid them."
FIFA denied Mouirinho's claims.

Tomas Rosicky Reveal Frustration Over Lack Of Playing Time

Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky has revealed his frustration over a lack of game time, but says he will do all he can to help the Gunners clinch a top-four finish.
Rosicky has featured in just three Premier League matches this campaign after playing 28 domestic games last term. The 32-year-old insists he is physically up to the task of lifting Arsenal above fourth-placed rivals Tottenham.
"Naturally, I would like to play more often, that's for sure," Rosicky told CTK. "I feel very well, the results in fitness tests were the same as they were in previous seasons when I played regularly.
"When the coach picks me, I go along with all the tactical tasks and I think I have nothing to be ashamed of. It's the manager's team and I fully respect his decisions. I cannot do anything else other than train properly and wait for a chance.
"The team has had problems so there's no space or time to complain that someone is not playing. To me, personally, the most important thing is that the club which I love finishes in a position where we can compete in the Champions League. Everything else can be sorted out after the season, on a beach for instance!
"I must convince myself so that it doesn't stay on my mind and doesn't frustrate me. That wouldn't help me or the club. Mr Wenger tells me to be patient but, obviously, the manager of such a club is not explaining every single decision to you."
The Gunners are four points below Spurs, and five adrift of third-placed Chelsea. Rosicky believes there is still enough time to bridge the gap.
"Even if we have been eliminated from all the cup competitions, we have enormous motivation to fight for fourth spot, which is extremely important for Arsenal," Rosicky added.
"There's a lot of points left to play for and we are just four points behind, that can be reached we just need a run of good results" 




Arsenal dismissing Jack Wilshere lengthy Injury


Arsenal have moved to dismiss suggestions that midfielder Jack Wilshere is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines, insisting he should return to action in their next Premier League game against Reading at the end of this month.
Rumours suggesting Wilshere's latest heal problem could see the midfielder miss a large chunk of what is left of this season had been circulating, forcing an Arsenal spokesman to issue an update on the condition of the 21-year-old midfielder.
Wilshere has spent some time in Dubai as he recovers from an injury setback that means he will miss England's two upcoming World Cup qualifiers, but it seems he is on course to return within the original timescale set out by manager Arsene Wenger.
"Nothing has changed in Jack's recovery, there's no setback or further damage to his ankle and no concern about any long-term problems," said a club spokesperson, in quotes appearing in several newspapers.
"Jack was told to rest and we are still on course for him to resume training and be available for selection for the home game against Reading."
Wilshere is nursing an ankle injury not related to the problems that contributed to his 17-month spell on the treatment table, yet boss Wenger had confirmed there is a danger his talisman could be face another long-term problem if he continues to play on the inflamed foot that has forced his latest spell on the side lines.
Meanwhile, many British bookmakers have now installed Arsenal as favourites to finish ahead of north London rivals Tottenham in the race for a top-four finish in the Premier League, after a weekend that saw the Gunners win at Swansea and Spurs suffer a home defeat against Fulham.

Edison Cavani For Sale At £54m


Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has splashed a £60million price tag on  Edinson Cavani.
The Uruguayan striker has been in fine form this season, scoring 27 goals for the Serie A side, reportedly making him among top teams in Europe targets for the summer.
But De Laurentiis insists the 26-year-old will not be leaving Napoli unless the club receives a huge bid for the player.
"We included a very high buy-out clause in his contract as we want him to stay," said De Laurentiis, quoted in The Sun.
"But if some nutter is willing to pay £60m, which would mean a net fee of £54m for Napoli, we are ready to listen to the offer.
"Let it be clear that the final decision lies with Edinson. He knows he's respected here and that the people love him."
Man City are reportedly linked to the player while Arsenal and Chelsea as being mentioned one time or the other.
