EPL Gossip Saturday February 7th
Nicolas Anelka has delivered a scathing assessment of Chelsea’s title chances, saying his team are not good enough to overcome the Premier League’s big guns. (Various)
Anelka is right but he is still dumb to say such a thing out loud. Considering Avram Grant played Anelka out of position last year, I don’t see why he has taken these digs lately against Scolari who has played him week in and week out.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has warned young English footballers that they are in danger of being squeezed out of the game unless they match the hunger shown by African players. (Times)
Aren’t young English players already been squeezed out of the game?
Portsmouth midfielder Sean Davis has begged Portsmouth not to sack manager Tony Adams. (Sun)
And Adams is ignoring newspaper speculation surrounding his future and insists he has no indication Pompey want to fire him. (Daily Telegraph)

Danish defender Daniel Agger has committed his future to Liverpool by signing a new contract worth around £70,000 a week. (Sun)
Agger is a good player but 70k a week is pretty rich for a 3rd central defender.
