6 Most Underrated Footballers of 2014


 Mikel Arteta - The Maestro of Arsenal 
Arteta has had a long and difficult football career. Starting from Fc Barcelona where they didn't appreciate his talent for the first team. Right now Arteta plays for London Gunners since 2011 where I saw him for the first time and saw him in a good way. He gives the best and most precisely targeted long passes that you can't see anywhere else.  Defensive midfielder has to defence effectively and Arteta covers that aspect in an example way. His Tackles are amazingly precise  that he never commits a foul. Yet he doesn't get the appreciation he deserves. Take a look at the video below


Sergio Busguets - The Brilliant Mind

He is a very known footballer especially when he plays in the biggest clubs in Europe FC Barcelona. But he's not known so much about his intensely important role in the squad. Without him I don't know what Barcelona would do. His ball handling skill,  his commitment to the team, the amazing passes and his calmness is all that makes the difference in this man.







Juan Cuadrado - The Unknown Superstar
Super fast super fly, that's my nickname for him. Colombian 26-year old has become one of the effective wingers that I've seen in Europe in the past couple of years. His speed, dribbling, ball control and finishing is Superstar material and quality. It's time for some top football club to sign him before someone else gets him first and misses out on this opportunity to have an amazing game changer in their squad. Take a look on this one also.
Álvaro Arbeloa - The Stopper
The Spanish stopper plays for Real Madrid, but he's not given the opportunity to show his true potential and what he's actually capable of. Skilful and confidence playing style makes him on of the best defenders in football, it is sad that everybody cannot see that, when he's sitting on the bench where he absolutely does not belong. After all he is a World Cup winner.
Kevin Mirallas - The Magicion
Kevin Mirallas is at his prime time. Playing for Everton simply is not the right place for this kind of talent. He reminds me of younger Ronaldo without diving. Dribbling, passing opponents, long shots goals, free kick goals and crosses. He has his own show in the pitch, beautiful football that everyone loves to watch. Here take a second to watch his best moments last season.

Victor Valdés - The Legendary Saver
He was unhappy in Barcelona in the few last seasons that he spent before he left. He was't appreciated by the fans neither from the team. Valdés has done some sloppy mistakes in some games, but it's something that every player does and when he got more and more pressure from the fans and the team it only got worse. Victor Valdés is by far comparable to other Spanish keepers like De Gea and Iker Casillas and statistics will prove it. He masters saving a penalty kick in the skill tree. At the moment Valdés is a without club. I hope he get's a spot that he so much deserves somewhere. Sign Him !

Top 7 Most Awaited Football Transfers - January 2015


Many Players will change their view in the beginning of the year but in the middle of the season. It's almost that time of the year. When Clubs start emptying their bank accounts and other ones fulfilling it, hundreds of players will have to change teams, but I am only focusing on 7 most interesting players with their interesting rumours that we are all waiting to happen.

7. Edinson Cavani 

Edinson Cavani the Uruguayan Matador as they call him, has made a quite a name of himself in these past few years. At the moment he's playing for Paris Saint-Germain last years French Ligue 1 winner. In two seasons he made 23 goals in 45 games except the Matador is striving for more than an easy Ligue 1 title. He wants something bigger and few clubs are giving him a chance to do that. Manchester United is looking for a replacement for Colombian flop Radamel Falcao as also Arsenal is looking for a replacement for injured Giroud. Liverpool spent nearly over 100million English pounds still the squad has been set out to be unfinished. After selling Suarez to Barcelona, Liverpool Brought Italian Balotelli from Seria A witch cleared out to be a missed shot, yet again Liverpool is looking for another replacement. PSG has set the price for 55million pounds .

6. David De Gea

Spanish 24-year old keeper has shown his true worth to Manchester United fans as he's plays brilliantly between the goal posts. Save after save the Red Devils praise the Spaniard except Spanish giant club Real Madrid wants a piece of that talent, I'm sorry I meant all of it. Clearly Manchester United cannot give him up at this state although Ex-Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes is training at the United Campus with the team, there might be a slight chance that Champions League winners could urge the Spanish come back to Spain. Real Madrid is an appealing club after all. There's no price set at the moment, only time will let us know.



5. Raphaël Varane

Raphaël Varane the next rising super stopper. Training  with Real Madrid has paid off. He presented his quality and skills as a magnificent defender in the World Cup this summer. He impressed many managers including his ex coach Chelsea boss Mourinho who is already making moves on him and is ready to buy at all costs and right now the cost is only 19million pounds for Mourinho. As i said Mourinho is not the only one interested, Manchester United also wants to spend some money for their defence and Varane would be a perfect fit for them. 








4. Thierry Henry

Thierry Henry the Legend of Gunners has made it clear to everyone that his time in MLS is over.  But nobody said his career was over ? Arsene Wenger Arsenal boss made an interesting quote that implies French veterans return to Premier League. Wenger said " He is an Arsenal man and enjoyed the best moment of his career here. Certainly one day he will come back here".        
Now it is unclear that will Henry come back to the field or work as a manager for gunners. The Fans absolutely love him. Although henry is wanted somewhere else too. French super Clubs Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain are ready to spend money for this legend also Turkish team Galatasaray wants Thierry to play in Turkey. The 37-year old said "I will decide about the next chapter of my life in the next few weeks". Lets wait a few weeks.








3. Petr Cech

Chelsea former number one goalie had to step away when loanee Thibaut Courtois came back from Athlético Madrid and took the number 1 spot. Liverpool and Arsenal want the Czech keeper even though his Agent recently stated that the he's not going to move anywhere from Stamford Bridge. His team mate Schwarzer praised Petrs achievements in Chelsea and said it would be a shame if he couldn't continue playing at his prime time. We all want to see him play, he is a professional goalkeeper. Will Chelsea let him go this January ?




2. Sami Khedira

Khediras injury problem set him back to his performance last season but he made it up in the World Cup as he came back home as a Champion of the world. He's not getting any playing minutes in Real Madrid and his contract is about to end with Los Blancos. After summer there were many rumours about his moving away to Premier League joining Arsenals squad, instead he decided to stay in Madrid, now there might be a big chance we will see him in the Premier League except the German is also linked with Bayern Munich.












1. Marcos Reus

With a long suffering injury Marcos Reus was left out from World Cup in Brazil as his national team brought the cup home in the final against Argentina. His current club Borussia Dortmunds status in Bundesliga 1 is a disaster. He stated in the summer that he is happy in Dortmund and is going no where. At the moment it would be rationally not possible to be happy anymore. The Transfer war is about to start. Big club are going to fight over German star Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea are all going for it. Will he go where his former team mates has gone with Götze and Lewandowski to Bayern Munich ? or will he take another path ? Current market value for Reus is around 44million pounds.
