England

Ten players who could swap Italy for England in this summer's transfer window. Check in to Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland 10. Angelo Ogbonna (Torino) The Italian centre-back has earned rave reviews for his performances with Torino this season, and as well as being chased by the bigger teams in Italy, he is said to be a target for Premier League trio Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. The 24-year-old is a solid and competitive defender and a full Italian international, and is set for big things in the game. 9. Mathieu Flamini (AC Milan) The former Arsenal man has had a difficult time in Italy after joining Milan on a free transfer from the Gunners. The 29-year-old could leave on a free once again, as his contract expires at the end of the season. Arsenal have unsurprisingly been linked with a return for a player who looked to be developing into a top defensive midfielder under Arsene Wenger, but his recent poor form is more likely to see him go to Aston Villa or Southampton, two clubs who are said to be showing an interest in the Frenchman. 8. Adem Ljajic (Fiorentina) This talented 21-year-old was close to joining Manchester United from former club Partizan Belgrade in 2010, but the Red Devils pulled out of the deal and he moved to Serie A with Fiorentina. Three years later he is regarded as one of the best young players in the Italian league and is being targeted by the likes of Chelsea. The Serbian can play in a variety of attacking positions, either out wide or upfront, and could still make a move to England in the near future. 7. Alvaro Pereira (Inter Milan) The former Porto left-back is reportedly a target for Tottenham, as manager Andre Villas-Boas worked with Pereira during their time at Porto. The 27-year-old has not been a regular for Inter Milan, and Spurs may pounce as they see him as the best replacement for Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Danny Rose, two left-sided defenders who are expected to be sold this summer. The Portuguese coach also tried to sign the Uruguayan when he was at Chelsea, so he's clearly a fan and will surely bring him to the Premier League eventually. 6. Hernanes (Lazio) This talented Brazilian midfielder is supposedly one of Manchester City's main transfer targets this summer. The 27-year-old has a great reputation in Italy since joining Lazio in 2010, showing himself to be a great playmaker and goal-scoring midfielder, reaching double figures in each of this three seasons with the club. His thunderous shots with his powerful right foot would certainly go down a treat at the Etihad Stadium next season. 5. Claudio Marchisio (Juventus) Manchester United are said to be keen on Claudio Marchisio as a replacement for the retiring Paul Scholes. The Italian midfielder is a similar type of box-to-box player as Scholes, and has always been a reliable source of goals during his time with Juventus. He is a key player for the Serie A champions, so he won't come cheap, but United are ready to offer around £30million for his services, and are supposedly keen on his team-mate Arturo Vidal as well. 4. Erik Lamela (Roma) Tottenham and both Manchester clubs are watching the progress of Roma's Erik Lamela. The 21-year-old Argentine initially struggled when he moved to Serie A from Argentina's River Plate, but has hit his best form this season with 15 goals and 4 assists. This young talent can operate as a striker or just behind, and definitely has the ability to add something to both of these Premier League title challengers. 3. Kevin-Prince Boateng (AC Milan) The German-born Ghana international has had a strange career, but is finally emerging as a top talent in Serie A with AC Milan. The 26-year-old was brought to Tottenham as an exciting prospect in 2007, but failed to make the grade at White Hart Lane. He had a failed loan spell at Borussia Dortmund and then made the move to Portsmouth, where he caught the eye in his single season with the club, helping them rea

Goalkeeper happy to be part of United 'family'. Check in to West Ham United vs Reading Manchester United backup goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard has denied rumours that he could leave the club for West Ham this summer, according to ESPN. The Danish shot stopper has had to settle with being on the bench for much of his time at Old Trafford since arriving in 2010, and it was reported that he could be tempted by a move to Upton Park to get more regular first team football. Although he seems to hold little chance of beating current number one David de Gea to the goalkeeping spot, the 29-year-old says he has no intentions of moving elsewhere, as he is as part of the 'family' at Manchester United. "When players get to Manchester United they don't won't to leave. You're part of a family, and now I feel the same. I have no intentions of leaving," he said. Lindegaard added that his competitor de Gea is a friend, even though he will do his best to force his way into David Moyes' plans next term. "I'm not going to wave the white flag and give up here," he said. "I'm fighting for the position even though David de Gea is my good friend but I still want the No. 1 shirt. Nothing has changed from one year ago or six months ago." West Ham manager Sam Allardyce will now turn his attention to Aston Villa 'keeper Brad Guzan, as he seeks a long-term replacement for Jussi Jääskeläinen.

Martinez fast becoming hot property. Check in to Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid Spanish giants Real Madrid have entered the race to sign Porto forward Jackson Martinez this summer, according to talkSPORT. The Colombian international has become one of the most sought after players in Europe following interest from Liverpool, Spurs and a strong interest from Manchester United. All three are in desperate need of a new striker as Luis Suarez is still serving out a 10-game ban, Emmanuel Adebayor has struggled and Wayne Rooney is set for an exit al Old Trafford. However, it is Real Madrid who are now the frontrunners in the race for the player's services as they look to revamp their squad ahead of the new campaign. Martinez joined the Portuguese side last summer from Mexican outfit Jaguares and has bagged 30 goals to help the club win the league title. Sources in Portugal claim that Martinez caught Real's eye with his goalscoring exploits as they look to replace outbound Argentinian forward Gonzalo Higauin who is set to join either Arsenal or Juventus who have both been strongly linked with a move for him. Real have other targets too with the likes of Napoli hitman Edinson Cavani, Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and Atletico Madrid's Radamel Falcao, but Martinez is still high on their wanted list.

Santos reject offer from Barca for star striker. Check in to FC Barcelona vs Real Valladolid Neymar's proposed move to Barcelona could be on hold after his club Santos have revealed they have rejected an offer from the Catalan giants, according to Sky Sports. The Brazilian striker is rated as one of the best young talents in the world, and is being chased by both Barcelona and Real Madrid this summer in what will surely be a big-money move. A move to Barcelona looked to be close to completion last week, but Neymar could still move elsewhere or stay at Santos, as the club's vice-president Odilio Rodrigues told Brazilian radio that the current offer from Barcelona is not good enough. "There is no agreement for Neymar," he said. "There are talks, I met [Barcelona's president Sandro] Rosell and [Barcelona's sporting director] Raul Sanllehi last week. "We had a very frank conversation. Talks need to continue because the offer was not good enough." Rodrigues added that they are waiting for an offer from Barca's rivals Real, but that he does not know yet which club Neymar himself will choose. "We know Real Madrid will make an offer too," he added. "Neymar will choose the team he wants, it's Neymar's opinion that is important." Both clubs are being linked with big moves in the transfer market this summer, though Real Madrid fans recently voted for Tottenham's Gareth Bale as their preferred target over Neymar. The Welsh winger has been linked with a £65million move to the Bernebeu.

Interim Chelsea manager could be set for La Liga return to fill Malaga vacancy. Check in to Malaga CF vs Deportivo La Coruna Malaga could make a move for Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez, as they seek to replace the Manchester City-bound Manuel Pellegrini for next season. The La Liga outfit look set to undergo a number of changes this summer, following the news that their manager is likely to take up the vacant position at Manchester City. Roberto Mancini was recently sacked following City's FA Cup final defeat to underdogs Wigan Athletic, but talks had already reportedly taken place between Pellegrini and the club's owners. The departing Chilean could also take star player Isco with him to the Etihad Stadium - a real blow for the club that also lost key duo Santi Cazorla and Nacho Monreal to Arsenal this season. However, Malaga remain an attractive project due to their displays this season in La Liga and the Champions League, and with a top four place still a possibility for the club, who currently sit in sixth place in the table. With Pellegrini leaving, they have been linked with several names, including Wigan's Roberto Martinez, but it has now emerged that they will look to persuade Benitez to take the reins next season after his fine work in a short spell with Chelsea. The Spaniard delivered the Blues the Europa League trophy as well as a top four place, despite a hostile reception from the club's fans when he first joined, due to his previous time in the Premier League with rivals Liverpool. However, he has won over the Stamford Bridge crowd now, and remains highly rated in his native Spain due to his previous success with Valencia, with whom he won two titles before a decade of dominance from Barcelona and Real Madrid. Benitez could be the man to break their dominance again, and could be a perfect fit at Malaga, who have built a strong team in the last few seasons, though he is understood to be keen on a stay in English football. PSG and Schalke have also been linked with Benitez, as have Serie A side Napoli, who are also chasing his predecessor at Chelsea, Roberto Di Matteo. Benitez will certainly be in-demand this summer, but there has been no suggestion that he would land the Chelsea job permanently, with Roman Abramovich seemingly having his heart set on a return for the popular Jose Mourinho, who will be leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season to be replaced by another former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti.

While looking through the programme of the ongoing Sight and Sound Festival, i found out about The Pirate Cinema, an installation that makes use of a data interception software of the same name to reveal in real time the hidden activity and the geography of peer-to-peer file sharing but also the aesthetic dimension of P2P architectures. The video installation relies on an automated system that downloads continually the most popular torrents. The intercepted data is immediately projected onto a screen before being discarded. The flows appearing on the screens constitute a sort of 'surveillance' of the peers as fragments of the files that they are exchanging can be visualized during the transmission or the reception. The remote users are, unknowingly, composing an endless collage determined by what they chose to download. The work was devised by Nicolas Maigret and developed with the help of Brendan Howell. I caught up with Nicolas while he was putting the finishing touches to the installation. Hi Nicolas! The description of the work says "In the context of omnipresent telecommunications surveillance, "The Pirate Cinema" makes visible the invisible activity and geography of the peer to peer sharing network." ?Could you explain with more details? The geographical aspect of the project is key in activating the imagination, but also in developing a critical view of consumption areas by file. A text indicating both the geographical origin of the peer who issued this fragment, and the geographical destination of the peer who received it is overlaid on each video excerpt. When the system focuses on a single file, we obtain a kind of portrait of the file through its geographic distribution. We could almost speak of following the geographical spreading of "cultural" products. Or in the case of a TV series like "Homeland", we could speak of following the diffusion of ideological propaganda. For an exhibition like this one, which is based on the most traded torrents, the vision is voluntarily an ultra-reducing one, it is a form of "greatest common denominator" of media on a world scale. We can, in some ways, navigate through what is consumed at a particular moment. Are images appearing randomly? How does the system work? This version monitors exchanges of The Pirate Bay's top 100. Each computer selects a few torrents from this list and monitors them for a minute, before switching to new file. To present the project clearly, I often talk about the context, the imaginary and the functioning of the P2P architecture. In the '80s, VHS brought cinema into the living room. Today, P2P and Internet bring it into personal computers and mobile phones. Through these modes of distribution, a wide-ranging reflection opens up about the media, the medium and what it specifically vehicles. The P2P sharing protocol is based on the fragmentation of the files in small samples, it is an exchange unit. This fragmentation loosens the exchanges to different recipients. A file can then be recomposed sample by sample until it is complete, from snippets emanating from separate users and in a disorderly manner. From a cinematic perspective this preliminary fragmentation of the media is also a fragmentation of the film material and of the narration. These "broadcasting mechanics" come with specific formal opportunities: mashup cinema, random editing, weaving together different films frame by frame, glitches and merging of different fragments. This installation suggests a way to perceive the digital filmic medium as a stream, or rather as streams distributed on a global scale. In other words, The Pirate Cinema intends to re-explore films through the logic of cables, which is unique to each connection and location. Since you're French, i can't help asking you about the French legislation, they have the reputation of being pretty intolerant towards P2P culture... In France since 2004, the year of the first conviction for illegal download, P2P

Barcelona target in-demand Liverpool striker after Santos reject Neymar bid. Check in to Liverpool vs QPR Barcelona will reportedly turn their attention to Liverpool striker Luis Suarez after falling behind in their bid to land Brazilian star Neymar from Santos. A deal was supposedly wrapped up for the 21-year-old to move to the Nou Camp, before Santos claimed they had fallen into disagreement with Barcelona chiefs over a fee for their star forward. Real Madrid are now expected to up their bid for the Brazilian, and the Bernebeu may now be the destination for one of the world's most highly rated young players. Barcelona will still be hoping to strengthen upfront though, and will make Suarez their next target, after the Uruguayan has impressed with 30 goals and some dazzling displays at Anfield this season. The 26-year-old was the favourite to win the PFA Player of the Year award, though he missed out to Tottenham winger Gareth Bale, perhaps due to his controversial bite on Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in a match between the two sides. This latest incident has made Suarez ever-more unpopular in English football as his time here has been marred by controversy, and it is thought that the former Ajax man himself may be tempted by a move abroad to escape the British media. Barcelona would be an ideal destination for him, as their attacking and technical style of play would suit the exciting forward's strengths and skills, and they are said to be willing to offer as much as £50million to bring him to La Liga. Tito Vilanova is keen to improve on his title-winning side, as they have struggled for consistency in the latter half of the season, often being found wanting against the bigger teams in particular. The Barca boss will be under pressure to retain the team's title and push on in the Champions League, where they were eliminated at the semi-final stage in humiliating fashion to Bayern Munich, losing 7-0 on aggregate to the Bundesliga champions. Bayern are another club that have been linked with a move for Suarez, along with Juventus and Manchester City, though Barca will now step up their interest after their surprise failure to land their main target Neymar. A number of players could also leave the Nou Camp in the summer transfer window, as squad members such as Alexis Sanchez, Cristian Tello and Thiago Alcantara are expected to be moved on. Interestingly, both Sanchez and Tello have been linked with Liverpool, and could be used as part of the Suarez deal if Barca's cash offer is not seen as sufficient. Suarez has previously been compared by Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers to Barca star Lionel Messi, and fans may now see the two combine together and terrorize defences in Spain. Barcelona have also recently been linked with Reds goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
