Barcelona Wants To Undo The Premier League Trend!

Edit Post
Barcelona are trying to recruit one of England ’s under-18 hopefuls.
Loftus-Cheek was called up twice by England at Under-16 level during 2010-11 but had to pull out due to injury on both occasions. Upon his selection in October 2011, he was named captain and played in the Victory Shield opener against Northern Ireland before scoring in the next match at home to Wales , underlining his credentials as one of the best prospects in the squad.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek is now one of Chelsea ’s wonders; he has been targeted after Barca saw him score for England against Wales last year. Loftus-Cheek was the star player for the Chelsea Academy and Chelsea ’s under-18s. Barcelona are aware there is also interest from both Manchester clubs.
The teenager has not yet signed a deal at Chelsea and the European champions hope to undo the trend and snatch a bright young hope themselves (although we all hope they won’t). Barca are fed up with their trainees being luring to the Premier League.

12 Dunfermline 20 -26 14
Celtic beat rangers 1-0 to take them to the top of the Scottish Premier table. Celtic dominated the second half and Ledley crashed in a header from a corner (took by Charlie Mulgrew) in the 52nd minute. Rangers offered little reaction and Celtic made its ninth league win in a row with ease. After having trailed by 15 points on the 5th November, albeit with two games in hand, Celtic went into the New Year with a two-point lead in the title race.
Through the match Celtic managed to gain 56% position (mainly through the second half). Celtic also had 9 on target attempts whereas Rangers only managed 2. Rangers also gave a mass of 22 fouls leading to 5 minuets extra time.
Celtic beat Dunfermline 3-0 on 2nd of January to retain their 2 point lead on Rangers thanks to goals from Stokes, Mulgrew and Wanyama. Celtic once again retained most (59%) of the possession throughout the match having 3 attempts on target. Dunfermline had no on target attempts and this now leaves them in 12th place with 14 points only 1 point behind Hibernian.
