Higuain reflects on Juve rejection after Ronaldo arrival 

"They kicked me out." 

That was the honest assessment of Gonzalo Higuain published today, on what happened when Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Juve this summer. 

The move saw the striker being told by Juve bigwigs that he was no longer needed by the Old Lady, to trigger a loan move over to Milan. 

And to be fair, the move has not gone too badly for the Argentinean with four Serie A goals so far. 

Although Higuain claims that there is no hard feelings towards Juventus and the fans, there is clearly a teeny grudge against the figure who replaced him in Turin. When asked about the most talented footballers he has played with, Higuain answered with Leo Messi. 

A good thing too, considering the big-chance-blower stopped his compatriot from lifting the World Cup in 2014.

The other player was a former Real Madrid colleague - Guti. Mic dropped by Gonzalo.

Higuain is next in action on Sunday in the Milan derby against Inter. 

Griezmann to be new Neymar after Neymar becomes new Messi

From a solid fact, to mad media speculation on Thursday. 

The first of which concerns a report from Italian paper, Corriere delle Sport, that Antonio Conte has been sounded out as a replacement for Julen Lopetegui should Real Madrid's season continue to be sucked down the tubes of fate.

And the Neymar to Barcelona craziness has grown legs. After more reports on Wednesday that the PSG man is seeking a return to the Camp Nou - after walking out on them just over a year ago - the story has developed.

Apparently PSG is now looking into signing up Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid to replace a player who will be moving to Real Madrid if anywhere.

Excitement City! 

King James makes his league debut for the LA Lakers tonight. 

However, his appearance after a low-key, barely-noticed NBA move to California for LeBron will be on the road, up the coast against the Portland Trailblazers. "They're just as tough as anybody," warned His Majesty ahead of the west coast encounter, which he is hinting will end up with a defeat.
