Charlie Adam's contract Not Likely To Effect Transfer Deals

Much was made of Blackpool's announcement on Wednesday that they had activated an option on Charlie Adam's contract to extend his commitment to them for another year but it's unlikely that the highly-rated midfielder will be following the Seasiders into the Championship.
When Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham attempted to force Ian Holloway's hand in January, he said that he would find it much tougher to keep the Scotland international in the summer as by that stage he will only be signed up for 12 months, making it their last opportunity to collect a decent fee.
Holloway hasn't made any comments since their relegation from the Premier League was confirmed last Sunday indicating that he would refuse to sell the 25-year-old, and instead the option appears to have been taken solely to protect the Tangerines' investment and avoid losing him for nothing.
The Guardian claim that Liverpool maintain an interest in the PFA player of the year nominee, despite having reportedly had a £6 million bid turned down in the winter window, and they may not actually have to increase their offer to convince Blackpool to let him go, as they don't hold as much power this time.
Whether Spurs are also still keen is unclear, as Harry Redknapp spoke glowingly about Adam on Match of the Day 2 recently, however Scott Parker is believed to be the Lilywhites' number one transfer target.

Magic moment: Torres is congratulated by Frank Lampard (left) and Ashley Cole (right)Luck appeared to have deserted Torres as he raced onto Nicolas Anelka's pass in the 84th minute today, the ball getting stuck in a near-waterlogged pitch. Relief: Fernando Torres is mobbed by team-mates after ending his goal droughtTorres was in danger of becoming the most expensive flop in the history of football after failing to score in his first 13 matches since signing from Liverpool almost three months ago. Popular player: The relief of all of Chelsea is clear to see'He scored and the next game will be, for him, really better. Fine strike: Torres keeps his balance to drill the ball with his left footThe goal sparked jubilant scenes in which Torres was mobbed by every one of his outfield team-mates.'We know we have a great player here, next season is going to go well for him.Fernando Torres felt the pressure lift from his shoulders after finally scoring his first goal for Chelsea on Saturday night.

'I think that the bad moment is gone and now his future will be fantastic here, at this club with his team-mates.'Torres had been relegated to the bench for three successive games, with Drogba's vastly superior form impossible to ignore.

I had more and more anxiety for them than for me.'Manager Carlo Ancelotti was thrilled for Torres, who he insisted last week would open his account before the end of the season.Stamford Bridge also erupted, the Chelsea fans having never lost faith in their record signing.'Torres replaced Didier Drogba, who was not on the field when the moment everyone had been waiting for finally arrived.The ?50million man ended his 15-hour goal drought for club and country just eight minutes after coming off the bench in the champions' 3-0 Barclays Premier League win over West Ham.

The Manchester derby is set for Wembley

The Manchester derby is set for WembleyManchester City's Europa League commitments will determine whether their FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United can be staged on Saturday, April 16. The FA are waiting for the outcome of City's second leg with Dynamo Kiev before announcing when they intend to stage the Wembley tie. Should City get past Kiev, the second leg of their quarter-final would be played on the Thursday before semi-final weekend, meaning the FA would have no alternative but to give the Sunday slot to the United game. For Liverpool to qualify for Europe, they must finish fifth in the Premier League, win the Europa League or lose the Europa final to a team that have qualified for the Champions League.  Manchester United v City FA Cup semi-final 'will cost millions' to policeProud City hero Richards takes a trip down memory lane towards WembleyRichards intent on revenge after firing City into semi-final against bitter rivalsFA CUP SEMI-FINAL DRAW: City drawn against rivals United

Fabio Aurelio Is Going To Miss A Month Of The Season Through Injury

Crocked: Aurelio hobbles off on SundayLiverpool defender Fabio Aurelio will be out of action for up to a month with the hamstring injury he sustained during Sunday's victory over Manchester United. The Brazilian limped off only 24 minutes into the 3-1 win at Anfield and the club confirmed he has suffered a tear to the muscle. Aurelio has been troubled by a series of niggling injuries this season and had only just returned from an adductor problem. Liverpool's head of sports medicine and sports science, Dr Peter Brukner, told the club's website: 'He's got a significant hamstring injury. Unfortunately his body lets him down. He always play well when he's fit. We've been managing him carefully because he's not been playing twice in a week, but this just came out of the blue. 'He had a minor adductor strain a few weeks before that. We rehabilitated him and he trained all week with no problems at all. 'He's obviously very down. It was a sad sight to see him walking off the pitch. He's frustrated because he was playing well on Sunday. He was looking forward to getting a run of games but it wasn't to be.' Dr Brukner also revealed central defender Daniel Agger is unlikely to recover from a knee injury in time for Thursday's Europa League clash with Braga. He said: 'Daniel had a nasty kick on a joint to the side of his knee. It's an unusual spot to get an injury. They take time and he's a bit of a slow healer. 'He's still not 100 per cent so we'll have to see if he's fit for the game this week. But it's more likely to be the following week.' Martin Kelly, who has a similar hamstring injury to Aurelio's, and Jonjo Shelvey (knee) will definitely miss the trip to Portugal.  Suarez sizzling against United was just the start as Luis vows: I'll get betterAldridge hails Suarez and says striker reminds him of Keegan and DalglishWatch all the Premier League goals every week on our brilliant video playerAll the latest Liverpool news, features and opinion  Explore more:People: Martin Kelly, Fabio Aurelio, Daniel Agger Places: Liverpool, Portugal

West Ham v Stoke Live Match

The Hammers secured a shock 3-1 win over Liverpool last weekend to climb up from the bottom of the table. Goals from Scott Parker and Demba Ba had given West Ham a two goal lead by the halftime whistle and though Liverpool threatened a late comeback after reducing the deficit through Glen Johnson, Carlton Cole wrapped up the points with a third in the final minute of the game.


Manager Avram Grant was delighted with his side’s display and claimed that the quality of the team proves that they are at the wrong end of the league table. With both Wolves and West Brom facing difficult games, Grant will be keen to take advantage of any slipups by climbing out of the drop zone with another victory over Stoke this weekend.
