LONDON - When European footballs January transfer window opens for business on
Wednesday, the market is expected to have a slow start.
Mark Gastineau Jets Jersey . In Europe, top
teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1
billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to
splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their
squads with new strikers. Chasing their first league title in 10 years, the
Gunners are reportedly looking for a forward to add to France international
Olivier Giroud, who ended a seven-match scoring drought with the winner at
Newcastle on Sunday, ensuring that his club starts 2014 at the top. Although
Giroud said Arsenal has sufficient attacking options for the remainder of the
season with himself, Lukas Podolski and Theo Walcott, Arsenal manager Arsene
Wenger hinted he could be tempted to sign a couple of new players. After failing
to lure Luis Suarez, Wenger wont bid again for the Uruguay striker, who signed a
new deal with Liverpool this month. "We are, as many clubs, certainly on alert.
If something special turns up, we will not turn it down," Wenger said. "But we
are not as well desperate because we have a big depth in our squad." Lagging two
points behind Arsenal in the standings, Chelsea could also be looking for extra
firepower after Samuel Etoo, Demba Ba and Fernando Torres scored only six goals
between them in the league so far this season. With Ba, Juan Mata and Kevin De
Bruyne possibly leaving, British media reported that Chelsea and Liverpool have
held discussions about the possible arrival of Suarez at Stamford Bridge that
could make up for Jose Mourinhos failure to sign Manchester United striker Wayne
Rooney in the off-season. While a Suarez move to Chelsea looks highly unlikely,
Monaco forward Radamel Falcao is a more realistic target for Mourinho, with the
Colombian reportedly unhappy in the French league. Xabi Alonso has also been
linked with a move to the Blues. After a shaky start to the season, defending
champion Manchester United has managed to limit the damages with four
consecutive wins and trails Arsenal by eight points going into the new year.
David Moyes has not been able to replace Paul Scholes and is in need of a
creative midfielder. The Red Devils manager could make a 50 million pound ($82
million) offer for Everton marvel Ross Barkley. Avoiding the drop to the
second-tier League Championship is crucial, with topflight teams boosted by
increased revenues. And last-place Sunderland will beef up its defence with
Marcos Alonso, who will join from Fiorentina until the end of the season.
"Marcos is a player that I have known well for a very long time," Sunderland
manager Gus Poyet said. "He was desperate to come and play for Sunderland and he
is a player I am excited to work with." Staying among the elite is also vital
for West Ham. The London club is languishing in 19th place after scoring only 18
goals in 19 matches and signed 18-year-old striker Jaanai Gordon from
Peterborough. Everything looks relatively quiet in Spain, too. Barcelona seems
more concerned with getting Lionel Messi healthy again for the second half of
the season, and will probably be more than content to have its star forward
playing at full speed again. The only possible big move would be Barcelona
signing a replacement for goalkeeper Victor Valdes, who has said he will leave
the club when his contract expires at the end of the season. Atletico Madrid is
reportedly reinforcing its title challenge by bringing in midfielder Jose Sosa
from Metalist. In Germany, Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski is
expected to confirm in the coming days that he will be leaving for Bayern Munich
at the end of the season, while AC Milan has already announced the arrivals of
Adil Rami and Keisuke Honda. In France, winger Jeremy Menez is lacking playing
time at Paris Saint-Germain and has been linked with a move to Juventus to boost
his chances of making the trip to the World Cup in Brazil, and Bastia signed
former Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse on an 18-month deal.

. Miikka Kiprusoff had just announced his retirement after a decade-long run in
Calgary and it would be up to Berra and Ramo to fill the void. CINCINNATI, Ohio
-- Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones was found not guilty on
Tuesday of an assault charge accusing him of punching a woman in the head at a
nightclub. A visiting judge in Hamilton County Municipal Court heard the case
after Jones, who has had a spate of legal troubles, waived a jury trial. Jones
could have been sentenced to up to six months in jail if convicted. Jones was
accused of hitting Shannon Wesley outside a downtown Cincinnati nightclub and
was arrested in June. He had pleaded not guilty and been released on his own
recognizance. The judge heard more than two hours of testimony from Wesley on
Tuesday. Wesley said Jones punched her in the head with a closed fist, knocking
her to the ground. But she also said the punch came after she poured beer on
Jones arm in an attempt to get him to leave her and her friends alone. Wesley
said Jones was aggressive and called her and the other women names preceded by
adjectives including "sloppy" and "fat." "We were scared," she said. The judge
said in delivering his ruling that surveillance video of the bars patio showed
the beer bottle pointing toward Jones face, near his eye. "The initiaal
aggressor in this case was Shannon Wesley with the beer bottle," Judge Robert
Taylor said.
Cris Carter Vikings Jersey. Witnesses
testified there was cursing from both sides, and the judge noted a lack of
civility from those involved, including Jones. Jones attorney repeatedly argued
that Wesley physically assaulted Jones. "This man was only defending himself
when he was threatened," attorney Ralph Kohnen said. But prosecutor Bernadette
Longano argued that there was "zero evidence" that Wesley harmed or attempted to
harm Jones. Jones and his attorney declined to comment after Tuesdays ruling.
The prosecutor also declined to comment. Jones, the Bengals third cornerback and
a punt returner, still could face discipline from the National Football League
under its conduct policy. A message left with the NFL on Tuesday wasnt
immediately returned. Last month, Jones paid a fine for disorderly conduct after
police accused him of making offensive comments in a traffic stop. He pleaded
guilty to a misdemeanour charge of disorderly conduct after he was arrested in
2011 in another case. He was accused in that case of shouting profanities and
trying to pull away as police arrested him at a bar.
