Recent news has claimed that a club in the Chinese league is focusing on bringing the Manchester United and England skipper Wayne Rooney. They are ready to cash out the Red Devils require for their captain as well as more than willing to make Rooney one of the best football income earners.

Steve McClaren is faced by a tough time as the Head coach of Newcastle United after a disappointing start of the campaign. This week he travels to London to face Crystal Palace, a team mentored by former Newcastle boss Allan Pardew.

Sunderland on the other hand is on the verge of signing Auxerre winger Nils Bouekou in summer. However, they face a stiff competition from league rival Tottenham Hotspurs.

Last year’s FIFA Balloon d’or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has been on the spot with many having different dimensions about his career. Many still think that he will eventually go back to Manchester United. Others claim that he has dedicated his life at the Bernabeu and would see his carrer there. Some still have the notion that he will join French power house Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsene Wenger on the other hand has been keen to bring in a central midfielder to his squad. Two names including long time admirer William Carvalho and Lars Bender have been on the spot light. However, Mathieu Flamini and Francis Coquelin will have to build their trust on Wenger by performing beyond doubts. Wenger also opts to bring another striker and interested candidate for the position is Inter’s Mauro Icardi.

Liverpool and Chelsea are in search of new strikers and possible candidates have been Empoli’s Riccardo Saponara and Jonathan Calleri of Boca Juniors respectively.

If by any chance Real Madrid coach Rafa Benitez leaves Santiago Bernabeu, the club will have to recruit their former coach Carlo Ancelotti who has been jobless since he left the stint.

NFL’s Ron Rivera comments on Cam’s dancing

NFL’s Ron Rivera comments on Cam’s dancing

Apparently, Cam Newton’s dancing has been very disruptive; this has brought up very many comments from the league and people from all over the world. Cam’s coach, Ron Rivera on Tuesday’s issue of NFL Total access, evaluated his divisive claim on his quarterback during the Panthers’ win over the titans. During his interview with Lindsay Rhodes, a media personality at NFL, Rivera stated that the celebration might have lasted a bit longer than expected, but he totally understood the reason why. He also added that he would have preferred it, if Cam took the ball and gave it to a much younger audience, who had come to watch them play. Through these statements, Rivera was able to at least make the world forget about how Cam ridiculed the whole of Tennessee on Sunday.

However, Rivera decided to keep his comments reserved on Cam Newton’s after celebrations in the league. Titan’s Coach Mike Mularkey, stated that the move Cam pulled off, after their win was way out of line, this came a day after he had ignored it, saying it was a no big deal. The Atlanta-based dance, known as the dab, was Cam’s way of celebration on Sunday when his NFL team scored against the Titans, this was very upsetting for Avery Williamson who was a member of the Titan team, who reproached Newton, and however, his reproach was not met well by Newton who continued dabbing again.

Avery and Newton had to be separated by the officials before they went out of hand. This was not the first time that Cam was causing chaos; he had done it before in New Orleans last season when he did the so called Superman celebration. This was met by Camera Jordan, a member of the Saints defensive pushing Newton, after which players started babbling on each other’s faces. This led to Panther’s team member, Brandon Williams been expelled when he punched Jordan on the face. Luckily, there was no fight during the dabbing issue on Sunday, as Newton ended the game by picking up the football, and then gave it to one of the Carolina fan, which was part of his tradition every time his team won.
