Hello and welcome football fans, I like to introduce you to my new section called "Phatrix on the News", the format is very simple I look at todays biggest stories and give my 2cents, 2 pence, 2 yen, whatever the currency on the issue. Hope you enjoy feel free to comment.

Foster

It looks like Foster is scouting a new home after playing for England a few days ago, the 26 year old wants to become a regular in the England squad but feels he doesn't get enough chances to prove himself and has slipped to third choice after Van Der Sar and Kuszczak, Foster is not keen on leaving Man Utd but feels he has no choice. While Tottenham are on the hunt for a new goalkeeper after Cudicini had a accident last week and is out for a unknown period of time, they see Foster as a worthy replacement and willing to bid £6m, as Tottenham need a new goalkeeper and Foster wants to play in the World Cup, the best thing in my opinion is if Man Utd loan Foster to Tottenham for the rest of the season.

Van Persie + Arsenal

Van Persie seems desparate to return from his injury in record time, the Arsenal striker damaged ankle ligaments when playing for Holland, he is currently receiving treatment from a medical doctor that uses unusual methods to heal patients such as plecenta fluids to cure injuries and it is belived that she will probably using plecentas from horses,nice. At least the injury to Van Persie will give Eduardo the oppurtunity to play more regularly and their is reportadly interest from Liverpool who want to sign the striker for around £10m and Eduardo isnt the only player, Barcelona have once again shown interest in Fabregas and are willing to exchange players and cash to land him, while Madrid are preparing a bid in the £50m range.

Benetiz I'll Quit Claim, Babel loyalty

Benetiz is in the news again this time threatning to quit Liverpool if they sell star striker Fernando Torres, the Merseyside club are in a reported £250m debt and selling Torres would give them a massive cash boost with clubs reportadly wanting to pay nearly £100m for the player and Benetiz clearly warned that if a deal was done behind his back that he will quit. Some good news or bad news for Liverpool fans depending on how you look at it Babel has shown his loyalty to Liverpool and stated he wants to stay and fight for this place in a struggling Liverpool side but Babel still has much work to do if he is to get rid of his "subersub" tag which he is desparate to change to a regular.

Burley sacking

We all knew this was coming but it was confirmed today as George Burley was sacked today after failing to get Scotland to the World Cup but lets face it, it is a difficult challenge but then final straw come when they were beaten by Wales 3-0 and it was a unanamious desicion when they all voted in favour of sacking Burley, now new candidate has been named but the SFA are in no hurry as they do not play until March and the SFA will take their time to find the right person by the 2012 Euro Qualifying Campaign.

John Terry hopes Chelsea will buy big

Terry hope Chelsea spend big in January as the transfer ban on them has been lifted and belives its time that Abramovic splashed the cash to find suitable replacements for players going to play in the African Nations and also strengthen their squad, and Chelsea do not know if the transfer ban will be implemented again so he thinks its best if they buy them now, Chelsea have stayed relatively quite and in Roman's six years Chelsea have only spent £42.5m which is pennies to their billionaire owner.

Unsettled Toure wants to play in Premiership

It is belived Yaya Toure wants to move to England after falling out of favour with the Barcelona coach, two possible destination are Man Utd and Chelsea. Since the summer English clubs have been keeping an eye on events at the Nou Camp, one club he doesnt want to move to is Man City because he believes that they are not big enough and wants to play for a Champions League club, the top four are all keen to get their hands on the talented midfielder but it seems Man Utd and Chelsea are the favourites, it is also rumoured Barcelona might use him as bait to lure other player like Fabregas.

James kneely wants to pass fitness test

David James is desparate to prove that he will be fit for the World Cup, the 39 year old goalkeeper has been haunted by a knee injury belives he can be ready by Summer. England manager Capello has clearly stated the only the best and fittest players would make it to next years finals, and James wants to be on that plane the goalkeeper is in the twighlight of his career and would love to participate in a final swan song in international football.

Not Ron the money

After the big hype of his £80million to Madrid it seemed like Ronaldo no.9 shirt would be selling like hot cakes but apparantly their not, sport clothing retailers are claiming that shirt sales are nowhere near the figure that Beckham sold and sales are about a quarter of what they were when Beckham arrived, Ronaldo has started his Real Madrid career in fine form scoring an incredible 9 goals in 7 games but injry hit the 24 year old and Real have struggled without their star attraction but hopefully he be back in time for the big match against Barcelona and boy do they need him.
