Libre depuis la fin de son contrat à Fulham, John Arne Riise a trouvé un point de chute lors du dernier jour du mercato. Le latéral gauche norvégien (33 ans) s’est en effet engagé pour deux ans avec l’APOEL Nicosie. Le club chypriote figure dans le groupe du PSG en Ligue des champions, avec le FC Barcelone et l’Ajax Amsterdam.

Source : Sunderlandecho THE dad of England star Jordan Henderson has opened up about the cancer battle he kept secret from his son. Speaking to the Echo, in the week the Premier League season kicked off, Brian Henderson has revealed that his cancer was diagnosed before Christmas, but he and his wife delayed telling former Black Cat Jordan and the rest of their family. But as his surgery date grew closer, Brian told the midfield ace about the illness and spoke to his boss at Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers, about his ordeal. Brian was also unable to travel to Brazil to see Jordan play in the World Cup in June, but spoke to him daily. Now, after successful treatment, Brian is to speak at a Sunderland conference for cancer survivors about his experience and how important it is to talk about it. He said: “It was a very emotional time when I had to break the news to the family. “I went to speak to Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool who was very understanding. He gave Jordan time off, and the people at Liverpool were amazing. “They were very understanding and gave him a lot of support. I said to Jordan that the best thing he could do for me when he got back to playing was try to get man of the match in every game. “He got it in four of the next five he played – people didn’t realise the pressure he was under. I was so proud of him.” Brian has now had radiotherapy and surgery to remove lymph nodes in both sides of his neck and a tumour from his tongue which has left a hole the size of a 50p piece. The 59-year-old and his wife Donna, a 40-year-old self-employed social worker, held off telling Jordan, 24, and Donna’s son Kyle Cunningham, 22, to try to stop the news ruining their Christmas. Brian was still recovering from his treatment when the World Cup started so was unable to go to Brazil to watch Jordan in the tournament. Brian, who lives in Washington, did speak to the former Farringdon Academy pupil every day during the tournament. He said: “He was really looking forward to the tournament and was buzzing about it. That helped me through, I knew it could change his life. “He was disappointed by the outcome but it was an experience for him.” Brian, who played for the England police side on the right wing and as a centre midfielder, will speak at a conference for the survivors of head and neck cancers at the Stadium of Light next month. The tumour in his neck was discovered when he was having a cyst removed in November. His doctor ordered tests which confirmed there was a carcinoma of the middle part of his throat and a tumour on his tongue. Brian, grandfather to Jordan’s one-year-old daughter Elexa, and Kyle’s 18-month-old son Josh, lost more than four stone during the radiotherapy, which he described as “the worst thing I’ve ever had in my life”. The conference, backed by specialists from Sunderland Royal and experts in speech and language, ear, nose and throat and lymphoedema, will feature 20 stalls, and a question and answer session. It will run from 10.30am to 6pm on Wednesday, September 24.

Oui Beau geste

Hazard gagne plus je pense aussi

Ca a chauffé dans le vestiaire

Fowler on Suarez: "I'm starting to dislike him because he's making all the ex-Liverpool strikers look very very average."

Hodgson on Sturridge: "Better to be injured now than in the summer." Hodgson said with a smile. Encore pire

Roy Hodgson: "I tested Daniel Sturridge's resolve by playing him unfit."

Oui je sais mais c'est toujours ça de pris. Tous les présidents ne l'auraient pas fais je pense ^^

Beau geste du président

Perso je veux bien De Bruyne et witsel et dans une moindre mesure Dembele

Journalist: "Are you scared to face Falcao tonight?" - Mignolet: "Why would I be scared? I train with Suarez and Sturridge every day."

J'avais vu je sais plus où qu'il y a quelques années (genre une dizaine), le journal était estimé à au moins 10 fois ce prix là

On va au Brésil

Ce serait énorme

J'ai pas dis que c'était un flop mais si on compare, Eriksen serait utile tout de suite et dans le futur contrairement à Alberto qui sera utile "uniquement" dans le futur

J'ai vu le résumé mais quand tu as un joueur du niveau d'Eriksen qui a quasi le même âge avec beaucoup d'expérience tu hésites pas

Surtout quand Eriksen c'est 2 millions de plus

Bravo à lui pour son titre de manager du mois

Mignolet était juste nominé Rodgers a gagné le titre de manager

Michael Owen I'll always be a red at heart 13 Sep 2013 07:26 Former LFC striker says he has no regrets over his career Share on print Share on email 02/03/2003 of Liverpool's goalscorers Michael Owen (left) and Steven Gerrard celebrating thier 2-0 win over Manchester United after the Worthington Cup Final at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff.02/03/2003 of Liverpool's goalscorers Michael Owen (left) and Steven Gerrard celebrating thier 2-0 win over Manchester United after the Worthington Cup Final at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff. Michael Owen says he has no regrets about the decisions he made during his career but insists Liverpool FC remains close to his heart. The former Reds striker angered many supporters when he walked away from the club in the summer of 2004 to join Real Madrid for £8million. Owen further damaged his standing among Kopites when he signed for Manchester United five years later. However, the 33-year-old, who hung up his boots this summer, believes over time most Liverpool fans have come to accept that he only ever did what was best for his career. View gallery """""""""" Michael Owen's Liverpool FC career in pictures View gallery “If one of my heroes was going to a team which I didn’t support I wouldn’t like it,” he told the ECHO. “Listen, I can understand that. If I was a fan, which I once was, I would feel the same, but you have to be grown up about it. “As a player you only have one career. I have always signed for the best team possible who was in for me at that time. “If I hadn’t have signed for Man United, the other option at that time was Everton and I don’t think a lot of Liverpool fans would have been happy if I had gone there either. “If I had turned down both United and Everton I’d have probably ended up playing in the Championship. “Anyone with any nous or normality about them realises that you only get one shot at it. You have got to do what’s best for your career and to play at the highest level. “If you wanted to be funny about it you could say ‘well, if I couldn’t play for Liverpool should I just have cancelled my career at 29 when I left Newcastle?’. “There are two types of fan. Some can see nothing else but their club which is fair enough. But I think the majority of people at Anfield realise it’s not like I did anything for the wrong reasons. “I played for Liverpool from the tender age of 11 with Stevie Gerrard. Liverpool is in my blood and I want to see them do well. “I’ve been back to Anfield a couple of times already this season and the reception I’ve had has been great.” Owen, the eighth highest goalscorer in the club’s history with 158 in 297 appearances, is now a resident pundit for BT Sport. He has been hugely impressed by the Reds’ flying start to the new Premier League campaign. Before a ball was kicked in anger Owen backed Brendan Rodgers to lead Liverpool into the Champions League this term and he has seen nothing so far to change his mind. “The only time I’ve missed playing since I retired was at the game against Man United at Anfield recently,” Owen said. “The intensity and the buzz of being around the dressing room in my role with BT Sport before kick-off, you could have cut the atmosphere with a knife. It was fantastic. I thought ‘I wish I was out there’. “Those were the days I used to love as a player – playing for Liverpool against Manchester United at Anfield. “They thoroughly deserved to beat Manchester United and I haven’t been surprised by how they’ve started. “I posted on Twitter at the start of the season my league table for this season. “I put Liverpool in fourth and I must say I took an awful lot of stick for it – people were saying I must have been on the ale that night! “But I see no reason why they can’t be in the top four. I watched loads of them in pre-season and I liked what I saw. “They won all their friendlies pretty convincingly up until that final game against Celtic. I was on a flight back from Dublin with a lot of Liverpool fans. A lot of them were despondent and I couldn’t understand why because I thought they looked really good. Even in that game against Celtic they dominated. “They have won all three league games so far 1-0 but they should have been more comfortable than that. “My only worry would be the lack of goals. “Against Stoke they had to rely on a penalty save in the last minute to get the three points and Villa hardly had a kick against Liverpool but it was still only 1-0. “But I’ve got to say Liverpool look really solid and everyone looks happy. They’ve still got Luis Suarez to come back and if they can keep key players fit then it’s exciting times for them.” Daniel Sturridge has provided the inspiration with the winner in each of the Reds’ three league games ahead of Monday’s trip to Swansea City. Owen admits he has been surprised by the stunning impact of the England striker, who has netted 16 goals in just 20 appearances since his £12million move from Chelsea in January. He said: “When Daniel signed I thought to myself if Chelsea are willing to sell then is he really going to be what Liverpool need? “Especially considering Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs in Europe. “We hadn’t seen too much of him as he hardly ever played at Chelsea. But he has been an absolutely inspired signing by Brendan Rodgers. “He has started the season really well. “The key for him, as I know only too well from my own career, is Liverpool keeping him fit because he looks like he’s got the lot. He’s got pace, skill and he has finishing ability. “Brendan clearly believes in him. In every walk of life if you feel like your boss is appreciative of what you do and gives you his backing that’s a big help. “That’s how a lot of managers have been successful over the years. Tactically, they might have fallen short at times but they were able to get the best out of players. “In Brendan Rodgers’ case, he looks like he’s very tactically astute and if that’s the case and players also really enjoy playing for him then he’s got the best of both worlds.” http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/michael-owen-always-liverpool-fc-5922189

JONJO SHELVEY EXCLUSIVE: I had to quit Liverpool... I couldn't just sit on the bench and pick up the money Jonjo Shelvey has never had a problem with his fiancee’s cooking, but he didn’t think twice about dropping his fork and charging out of the door on July 2. It just might be the most significant run of his career so far. That morning he’d reported for Liverpool’s first pre-season session of the summer, feeling good and with a lower body-fat percentage than normal. ‘I’ve always had a problem with it, but I’d got it down,’ he says. ‘I thought I’d be able to give it a real good go to get in the team this year. I was pretty excited.’ Shelvey had read the reports linking Swansea City with him, but he’s used to ‘that stuff’. More relevant was a chat with Brendan Rodgers scheduled for the next day, a discussion about how much playing time he might get in Steven Gerrard’s midfield. It was a conversation he’d had before with Liverpool managers. A phone call that evening changed everything. ‘I got home and was sitting down to dinner,’ he says. ‘My missus had cooked a pasta dish. I hadn’t had a bite when my agent came on the phone, saying, “Get yourself down to Swansea”. ‘I didn’t touch my dinner.’ Liverpool had accepted an offer worth an initial £5million from Swansea. He adds: ‘Daisy (Evans) and I just grabbed a bag and got in the car. My brother lives in Liverpool so he came and did the dishes. It was a weird journey.’ The same could be said of his career as a whole up to July 2, the trip from teenage prodigy to hyped signing to squad player to figure of fun. There’s a YouTube video of him missing an open goal for England’s Under 21s that has been watched almost 100,000 times; another of West Ham fans chanting ‘Harry Potter, he’s coming for you’ — a reference to his apparent resemblance to Lord Voldemort — has more than 500,000 views. On Monday, Shelvey will almost certainly line up for Swansea when Liverpool arrive at the Liberty Stadium. Michael Laudrup made a promise on the day he signed that should see to that. The thousands of Swansea fans who used Twitter to complain about his signing have stopped moaning. Some pundits even think he should get a second England cap and Roy Hodgson didn’t seem too cold on the idea after taking charge of the Under 21 fixture against Scotland last month. A transformation has happened, illustrating the argument that there really is no substitute for not being a substitute. Shelvey, 21, is the deep-lying creative spark in Swansea’s midfield, composed enough to look good next to Leon Britton, but also capable of pinging a pass or making a surge. He has started five of Swansea’s seven games in the Premier League and Europe and, with the possible exception of the defeat at Spurs, has been one of the Swans’ three best players in each of them. ‘It’s about confidence and knowing you’ll get game time if you do well,’ he says. ‘Game time’ is everything to Shelvey. Over the course of an hour at Swansea’s training ground, it’s a term he uses a lot. He says: ‘Brendan (Rodgers) called me and apologised that he couldn’t give me enough game time, but he didn’t need to apologise. He’s the Liverpool manager. ‘But personally…’ Shelvey tails off. Liverpool is a tricky subject. When this interview is over he says: ‘Please don’t let me sound like I’m slating Liverpool because that’s not my intention.’ And yet his disappointment at getting only 31 starts across three seasons and all competitions is ‘quite hard to hide’. He signed as an 18-year-old from Charlton in 2010, a captain of England from the Under 16s through Under 19s. He had some serious hype . . . the next Steven Gerrard, but that’s no great joy when the original is still kicking around. ‘It’s a big thing, trying to knock Steven Gerrard out of the team,’ he says. ‘If you had a really good game the next week you might still be out because the likes of Gerrard are coming back. Imagine that. And you can’t argue with it — it’s crazy how good he is. 'Brendan told me I could stay there and see what happened. It really was my choice. I wasn’t pushed. ‘But I wanted to play football. I would hate to be one of those sitting on my money. It is in my character, the way I was brought up. Even Brendan said, “You’re not one of these squad players happy to stand around”.’ He mentions his medal for winning the 2011-12 League Cup and the fact he was not involved in the final. ‘Even though a kid of my age should be happy winning a medal, I wanted to play,’ he says. ‘It feels like less of a medal than the next one I hopefully get.’ Talk turns to Tottenham’s £106m spree. He already knows what is going to happen to Spurs’ young talent: ‘There are lads at Spurs I feel sorry for. They aren’t going to get game time. I didn’t want that at Liverpool. I wanted to play, to get back the status that I used to have. Now I am playing.’ Laudrup said the words Shelvey wanted to hear when he finally got to Swansea on the morning of July 3. ‘He told me if I play well in a game, then I will start the next game.’ Those words were worth leaving his dinner for.
