Collection of alive best soccer players

As the new 11/12 season has not started yet, let's see the skill and goals of the best football players.  Some of them are retired but other still plays in the famous leagues.

Chelsea close in on Villas-Boas

ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS was in London last night sorting out the final details of his switch to Chelsea.

Blues owner Roman Abramovich paid a record £13.25million to release Villas-Boas from his job as Porto boss.  A Chelsea statement said: "We note the release clause of Andre Villas-Boas has been activated. 

"We can confirm our interest in him and hope to reach agreement with him on personal terms and make a further announcement in the near future."

It emerged last night that Villas-Boas met with Abramovich last weekend.  At that point a basic agreement for the Portuguese to take over at Stamford Bridge was put in place.

Villas-Boas, 33, quit Porto by fax yesterday and once the compensation had been paid the way was clear for him to become Red Rom's eighth boss since he bought Chelsea in 2004.

Villas-Boas, who succeeds Carlo Ancelotti at the Bridge, won FOUR trophies in his one season as Porto boss.

Club officials were unhappy that their manager had quit by fax.  And they will be even more grumpy if Villas-Boas returns to poach their star players. Colombian striker Falcao, rated at £26.5m, is a prime target.

Villas-Boas would also like £35m-rated Portuguese midfielder Moutinho.  But hitman Hulk may be beyond even Red Rom's budget - the buyout clause in his contract is a staggering £91m!

Porto have already appointed assistant boss Vitor Pereira as their new manager.

Kop fans aren't happy with new blue kit

LIVERPOOL'S new third kit has left red faces at Anfield - because it features a splash of blue.

Fans, furious at Everton's colour being used, flooded message boards and forums in protest yesterday after the club posted a picture of next season's second away shirt on their website.

Officials insist the blue piping on the kit is in fact cyan. But judging from the reaction, it certainly is not going to have fans flocking to snap up replicas when it goes on sale next month.

Influential fans group Empire Of The Kop found more than two-thirds would NOT dream of wearing it.

Supporter Craig Butler wrote: "Massive disaster, you have made us the laughing stock of the league in my and many others' eyes."

A club spokesman said: "This is not the first time we have had blue trim on our kit."

Jones deal nears completion

Phil Jones will finally become a Manchester United player next week with lawyers from the two warring clubs working out the details of the player's transfer valuation, according to ESPNsoccernet sources. 

ESPNsoccernet has been informed that once Manchester United reach the magic mark of £20 million that Blackburn Rovers want then Jones will become a United player.

The 'compromise' being thrashed out at the moment between the two sets of lawyers revolves around United winning trophies and Jones' appearances, which could make the transfer worth in excess of £20 million depending on United's capacity to continue to win silverware on a regular basis, and the player's ability to hold down a place in the team.

A figure of £20 million, though, will be reasonably attainable, and that will be the generally-accepted figure of Jones' value.

An insider suggested that it was pointless for Liverpool to bid £22 million, as widely reported, as the player has signed a contract for Manchester United made up his mind to go to Old Trafford.

Blackburn were incensed that they have to sell at the price being quoted when the player was valued at £25 million, while United are annoyed that they should pay anything more, as that £16 million was the price stipulated in the get-out clause.

"The two sets of lawyers are sorting it out, and there is sure to be a compromise by the middle of next week," said the well-connected Ewood Park source.

Premier League wage bill soars to £1.4 billion

PREMIER LEAGUE clubs are spending £1.4 BILLION on salaries - while many Championship sides are shelling out beyond their means to get promoted.

A new study by Deloitte has found wages for players - including Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard - rose by £64m in just 12 months.

The wages-to-revenue ratio has reached an all-time high of 68 per cent with Chelsea top with an annual £174m bill.

Manchester City spent £133m - £1m more than their neighbours United during the 2009-10 season.

Analysts also found more than a third of Championship clubs are paying out more in wages than their revenue.

Alan Switzer of Deloitte said: "A wages-to-revenue ratio of 88 per cent is a cause for concern and will need to be addressed by Championship clubs.

"They have been put on notice about the need to rein in their spending."
