Dele Aiyenugba Refuse To Be blameed for Afcon failure

Nigeria goalkeeper Dele Aiyenguba has rejected accusations he is responsible for Nigeria’s failure to qualify for next year’s African Cup of Nations despite conceding two goals against Guinea.

"I personally feel unhappy that we didn't qualify for the Nations Cup and I still can't explain why it is so but I don't think one person should be singled out for the blame because all of us took part in the match,” Aiyenugba told SuperSport.com.

"If we had won and qualified we will all take the credit. But now that we [missed out on qualifying], I believe we should all take the blame for failing and not say it was Dele or someone else who caused it.”

However, the 27year-old apologized to the fans for the team’s failure to qualify for the tournament.

“Our fans deserve more than qualifying for the Nations Cup but we have let them down," he said.

Olympic Captaincy: Who Can Handle It Better Than Beckham?

The plan afoot to award David Beckam the captaincy next summer, however, threatens to be disruptive. English football’s much beloved darling is expected to return to these shores when his contract at LA Galaxy expires this winter. Common consensus suggests that, provided his fitness can be vindicated, the captain’s armband awaits him.

To include Beckam in the squad seems tempting. He is, after all, heralded from the very territory in which the Olympic stadium now stands. We could happily indulge a fond farewell to the golden boy, a fitting tear-jerker to pay homage to an ambassador who brought the Games to London. The resulting back-page jingoism would certainly make for a fine Olympic souvenir.
The glorified encore, though, an exercise in sycophancy and a concession to sentimentality, would be of little benefit.

The shadow of Beckam would surely loom large over the squad. His aura of celebrity and the accompanying paparazzi would reintroduce the aforementioned press attention. An unwelcome distraction, the inevitable media carnival would only hinder the squad’s capacity to focus on the task at hand.
Needless to say, of course, that the weight of Brand Beckam will also be a valuable marketing asset to the Games of the XXX Olmpiad. Naïve are those who believe that Beckam’s likely inclusion will be decided by the manager alone. What kind of lesson does this send to Britain’s young footballers?

More important than any of this, though, is the fact that there are plenty of eligible players who would offer more in a competitive sense. Of the over-23 brigade likely to be excluded from the Euro’s, Jonathan Woodgate, Phil Neville, Paul Robinson, Joe Cole and Danny Murphy, to name but a handful, all represent better choices. England ought to be teaching young players that merit alone is the sole arbiter of selection for the national team.

‘Beckham Fever’: Paris Can'y Resist

Moving to Paris may come with an exorbitant salary for David Beckham, but the ex-Manchester United winger is adamant about the happiness of his family. Obviously, this serves as a possible sticking point for any team who desire David Beckham’s multi-service, let alone Paris Saint-Germain. In addition, Beckham has made no secret of his desire to return to the Premier League. A sporting director role at his beloved Manchester United has been mooted, whereas Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers are said to be interested in adding Beckham to their respective squads.

Reports suggesting that David Beckham is poised to join Paris Saint-Germain are premature. However, the rumours continue to circulate and Beckham hasn’t exactly poured cold water over the idea. Is David Beckham’s fame to shine in the City of Lights?

Duncan Ferguson Renders Free Sevice As Coach In Everton

Duncan Ferguson is back at Everton and working for free in a bid to earn a coaching career.

Big Dunc, a Goodison legend after an 11-year stay over two spells, has been working with the Blues youngsters.

The 6ft 4in former striker has been putting in 12-hour days largely with the club's Under-16s.

And he has made such an impression that boss David Moyes has admitted he could become part of the backroom team.

Moyes revealed: "Duncan isn't a qualified coach yet, but we have got him in and he's happy working down at the academy.

"He's showing he wants to do it. He is putting the hours and the effort in.

"He still has to get his B licence and A licence but he is shadowing Academy chief Alan Irvine.

"Could it lead to something here? It could do, but you need your qualifications and that is the first thing.

"I didn't foresee him going into coaching but he he has come back and I think he misses the smell of football a bit."

Manchester Obtains Favour From Meteo Kovacic To Sign Up Luka Modric

Sir Alex Ferguson is reportedly confident of seeing off the challenge from the Gunners – as well as other European giants like Juventus and Bayern Munich – because of the 17-year-old’s personal desire to move to Old Trafford. 

‘United have made it clear they are looking at Kovacic in a big way and they think he is a future star,’ a source told Goal.com. 

‘His age and price tag means January will probably be too soon but the feedback is that the player's preference would be a move to Old Trafford and United are favourites to sign him.’ 

Kovacic, who has been likened to Spurs schemer Modric, was slapped with a £10m price tag by Dinamo in order to scare off interest from Arsene Wenger, who was closely monitoring the midfielder’s situation in the summer. 

However, after the Gunners baulked at the original quote, United feel they’ll have plenty of time to make their move for Kovacic at the end of the season, rather than rushing through a deal in January.

The player himself also gave encouraging signs to United last month, when he revealed he was flattered by their interest in him.

Tevez Finally moves to Boca

Boca Juniors have been priced out of an audacious move to re-sign Carlos Tevez.

Buenos Aires-based Boca were considering a cheeky bid to bring Tevez back to the club, where he started his career as a 16-year-old, in an emergency loan move.

But the Argentinians have had to admit defeat, because of the Manchester City outcast's £250,000-a-week salary.

Boca were hoping that either Tevez would slash his wage demands or that City would subsidise his huge salary, but they have had to admit both are highly unlikely.

Brazil's Corinthians - another of Tevez's former clubs - are the only South American side with the money to sign the striker, and they claim they will renew their interest in the winter transfer window.Juventus, who failed with a bid to sign Tevez in the summer, and AC Milan are also preparing bids for January.

The 27-year-old will finally learn his punishment for allegedly refusing to play against Bayern Munich when he appears before a City disciplinary hearing this week.
