Wigan Athletic are desperately needing goals if they are to climb the Premier League table, but is Jason Roberts really the man they need. Everything looked set for the Grenadian international to head to Bloomfield Road and turn out in the Tangerine of Blackpool this season. But after failing to agree a deal, he looks as though the Latics could be interested in snapping him up. After shipping ten goals in their first two games, this Premier League transfer blog reckons one new striker is set to...

Most people have already written off Blackpool as relegation fodder and that is understandable. But I am shocked to read this Premier League football blog that claims Newcastle are going down with them. While I understand that Newcastle do not have the strongest squad in the Premier League, I think there are a number of teams with worse squads. The signing of Sol Campbell will bring some much-needed experience to the side and I think they will have enough to survive. Personally, I think Blackpool...

I think this could be the season that Dimitar Berbatov steps up and shows that Sir Alex Ferguson was right to spend over £30 million on. He has endured a disappointing period since arriving in 2008, but as this Premier League blog on Manchester United states, there is no doubting the skill the Bulgarian has so it should be a matter of time until he comes good.

Given the fact the Arsenal man played in both recent friendly games and was at least as good as most other England men given a run out, his exclusion is something of a shock. However, when you look...

Those who have made Fabio Capello's 30-man provisional World Cup squad must be getting pretty nervous right now. Tonight England take on Mexico in a friendly at Wembley and it gives the hopefuls a chance to impress.

True, it's highly unlikely Capello will pick a player based on just one game, but a good performance at the national stadium could back-up opinions the manager has formed during training sessions, while a poor showing could plant the seeds of doubt in his mind.
