"If Chelsea Wants Victor Moses They need to Bid 10 Million Pounds"- Wigan's Owner Whelan

Wigan Athletic's Owner Dave Whelan Has Announced either it's Chelsea Or Any Other Club they have to pay 10 Million Pounds to Get In Moses The Nigerian Striker.Roberto Di Matteo has admitted his interest in the Nigerian attacker, who signed from Crystal Palace for an estimated 2.5 million pounds in January 2010, and has reportedly offered a player-plus-cash deal to exchange for the player.However, Whelan has asserted that he is only interested in a straight cash deal for the 21-year-old with a loan deal for Chelsea youngster Josh McEachran thought to be in the offing.“They need to pay the brass up front - we don't want any part-exchange deals they have offered,” “Victor is one of the most exciting young talents around, so little wonder Chelsea want him, but if they want him they are going to have to pay the price.“We are not interested in picking up one of their players on loan or in part exchange.“They know the price for Moses. We are looking to reach 10 million pounds.“If that means 8 million pounds cash and some add-ons, that fine, as the lad knows that we want him to stay but that we won't stand in his way either.”Wigan has previously succeeded in selling its star players to bigger clubs for hefty profit, with Antonio Valencia and Wilson Palacios making moves to Manchester United and Tottenham respectively in the past.And Whelan has confirmed that the club is braced for a similar situation with Moses.He continued: “I don't like standing in the way of a young player who can make the jump to one of Europe's great clubs and play well for them, I would just wish him all the best.“But really we don't want him to go, he will be worth 15 million pounds or 20 million pounds after a few months with a club like Chelsea.“He has a year left on his contract, we have offered him a new one, but we can understand why he would want to play for Chelsea, although I must say there are other clubs sniffing around too.”

Tour De France 2012: Mark Cavendish Wins Stage 18

Mark Cavendish Wins The 18TH Stage Of Tour De France 2012.The 2012 Tour de France has already been dubbed “La Promenade des Anglais” in France and that stroll in the park continued on Friday when Mark Cavendish , just a week before the Olympic road race, claimed another superb victory. And he did it in front of a rather glum President Francois Hollande, who was the Tour’s VIP guest on a day when then Union Flag was the most prominent emblem among roadside fans.Cavendish’s victory was his 22nd Tour de France stage win and if he can claim another on the Champs Elysees on Sunday he has never lost there yet – the Manxman will become the most successful sprinter in Tour history, moving past Andre Darrigade, after a five-year glut of winning since his debut.The world champion was led out by the yellow jersey of Bradley Wiggins, who at breakfast in Toulouse had told Sky sporting director Sean Yates that it was time to ‘ride for Cav’ and vowed to make the sprint happen despite the perceived wisdom that the maillot jeune always buries himself in the peloton the day before his official anointment.The beneficiary of exceptional and selfless teamwork himself this tour, Wiggins has taken every opportunity to repay in kind. He provided the lead-out for Edvald Boasson Hagen in Cap d’Agde last Saturday and again worked like a trojan at the death yesterday on damp and slippery roads. After that, and a second useful turn form Edvald Boasson Hagen, it was all Cavendish, as he let rip from fully 600 metres out, chased down the remnants of the break and crossed the line in splendid isolation.With London in mind this was a win he wanted badly, by as big a margin as possible, and it was greeted with that trademark punch of the air with Wiggins doing likewise down the home straight, comign home with his lead intact at 2mins 5secs.This win was an encouraging but not definitive marker for the Olympics. After two hideous mountain day,Cavendish looked strong from the start on a testing lumpy day which at 137 miles was the second longest stage of the Tour.“We knew it was a hard stage and it would have been easy for the guys to concentrate on Paris,” said Cavendish afterwards. “Sean said ‘take it easy, let the break go’ but Brad jumped in immediately and said that we should go for the sprint and he would lead it out.“They are a really good group of guys and were there for me at the end, they moved me up nice and smoothly, we didn’t want to catch the break too soon and with 600 metres to go I put all my chips on the table.“It wasn’t an easy day and I was suffering at time but I recovered quickly and I sprinted with real acceleration. It gives me confidence that I am coming out of this tour with good form. Spirits in the team are really high. It’s not often you can come here to win the yellow jersey at the Tour de France.”The picture every cycling photographer wants now is the maillot jeune leading out the rainbow jersey down a Champs Elysees swaying with Union Flags, but that cannot happen until Wiggins and Chris Froome nail down their historic British one-two at the 32-mile time-trial from Bonneval to Chartres this afternoon.The duo, who flew from Brive to Chartres with their Sky colleagues on Friday night, are comfortably the best time-triallists remaining among the GC contenders and barring sabotage or riots, Wiggins will be riding down the Champs Elysees in yellow. The traditional champagne sharpeners en route will have to wait, though. Cavendish wants one more win and the yellow jersey stands by to serve. It has been an extraordinary Tour.

Arsenal Holds On Van Persie, Man UTD Bid Rejected By Arsenal

Manchester Utd Bid For The Dutchman Robin Van Persie Was Rejected By The Gooners As, According to the article, the North London club are looking for offers in excess of £20 million for van Persie, who earlier this summer, announced his intention to leave the club.However, it is believed United are wary of offering more, due to the player turning 29 next month.The BBC meanwhile, reports today that Arsenal have received multiple offers for the player from Juventus and Manchester City as well, although neither come close to matching their valuation.With rumours over his future building, Goal.com leads with the story today that van Persie has pulled out of Arsenal's pre-season tour of Asia in an attempt to force his club to sell.The story claims that Manchester City is the Dutchman's preferred destination.The website also refutes the fact that United have bid for the player, stating that their focus is on Brazilian starlet Lucas Moura, as well as Real Madrid's Nuri Sahin.With less than a year to run on his current contract, if Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger decided to keep the star striker at the club, the Gunners would run the risk of losing him for nothing next year.The Dutchman is coming off the back of a stellar season, in which he led the Premier League with 30 goals, as well as scoring seven more in other competitions.As a result, van Persie claimed numerous personal accolades, such as the PFA Player of the Year award.With the start of the season a month away, fans of Arsenal can expect a decision over his future to be made in the coming few weeks.

Rafael Nadal's injury scares him out of Olympics

Rafael Nadal The Spanish No.1 Has Been Suffering by Knee problem that have inhibited his ability to prep for London, meaning that he will be unable to attempt to defend his singles gold medal and serve as flag bearer for Spain. But while this is a troubling immediate concern for Nadal, it also brings plenty of uncertainty to the bigger picture. It would be plain stupid to write Nadal off just yet. Things looked bleak in 2009 before he turned it around to put together a banner year in 2010. But he’s three years older now, more of the competition is starting to catch up, the knee problems are never going to go away, and his style of play is only going to increase the wear and tear on his joints. Champions are stubborn. They don’t like to change the playing styles that have brought them so much success. But at this juncture in his career – and another heartbreaking pullout – it might be time for Rafa to consider doing more re-tooling of his game.
