Jason Derulo Hits The Right Notes With Talk Dirty

Jason Derulo is out with his new album titled Talk Dirty and is seems he has hit bulls eyes with it. Jason Derulo wrote over three hundred songs for his new album, Talk Dirty and then narrowed it down to eleven tracks, which he describes as his lasting experiences.

In addition to being remarkably honest with Talk Dirty, Jason Derulo wanted to make sure his release was a roller coaster ride for his listeners.

“Every single song was totally different from the last,” he explained. “My first album was written when I was nineteen years old. I wanted to be sure this album was far different from that one; to make sure that the growth was present. I am twenty three now and I really wanted this album to be a direct representation of who I am. I didn’t want to hide anything. This album, I wanted to tell a story,” stated Jason Derulo.

Jason Derulo has put his near fatal, broken neck injury behind him and seems to have made a full recovery and is now incorporating acrobatic stunts into his concerts, climbing atop a six man pyramid and appearing completely uninhibited in his hip hop dances.

“This album just has so many different dimensions. I didn’t just want to go down this one lane. There are so many sides of me,” he said. “I wanted to be sure we covered all aspects of my personality and I also think it’s pretty boring to hear an album that’s one lane and continues to be on the same ride.” added a very upbeat Derulo.

02. Wiggle Feat. Snoop Dogg

Di Maria, Fabregas and the stars fighting to save their Madrid and Barcelona careers

The Copa del Rey final at the Mestalla on Wednesday will provide the platform on which some players will be hoping to cement a future with their clubs

ANALYSIS
By Kris Voakes | International Football Correspondent

It is a rare season indeed in which Real Madrid and Barcelona's biggest tussle comes in the Copa del Rey rather than a league decider or a Champions League face-off. But such have been the varying difficulties faced by the two giants this term, Wednesday's cup final at the Mestalla will carry a huge weight come the summer.

Of course, Madrid still have interests in Europe but will have to overcome continental kings Bayern Munich to progress, while Atletico Madrid have an advantage of more than three points over each of the Clasico rivals in La Liga.

It all means that the opportunities for players to show their worth to their side are running out fast, and both Madrid and Barca have a number of first-team squad members whose futures remain somewhat unknown right now.

Below, Goal assesses six of the men for whom Wednesday's clash could be a make-or-break moment in their Clasico careers.

FABIO COENTRAO

The Portuguese full-back very nearly left the Santiago Bernabeu last summer when he was on the verge of a move to Manchester United, but one year on it seems his time in Madrid is up for good.

Having played barely a handful of games all season, the €30 million signing will this summer be looking elsewhere for his opportunity to regain the reputation he gained at Benfica. With Marcelo having nailed down the first-choice left-back spot, it would take a huge performance from Coentrao at the Mestalla to make the club and the player alter their plans.

At 26, he does at least have plenty more football in him.

ANGEL DI MARIA

He saw off the challenge of Mesut Ozil, won the heart of Carlo Ancelotti and was Madrid's best player in the recent Liga defeat to Barcelona, but still Angel di Maria has a major point to prove if he is to be assured of a spot in the Blancos squad for 2014-15.

While his Italian coach has been bouyed by his upturn in performances since Christmas, the club's board are less than happy with the Argentine's fluctuating fortunes over the past couple of years. With the movers and shakers at the Bernabeu looking to boost their stocks in midfield this summer, Di Maria's future could hang on exactly how much the capital outfit need to cover the cost of whoever comes in.

As such, another big performance against Barca will put the 26-year-old on more stable territory when it comes to the club's planning ahead of next term, but a lacklustre display could spell the end of his four-year stay in Madrid.

CESC FABREGAS

On the face of it, Cesc Fabregas should be about as well-placed as anyone when it comes to being kept on at Barcelona this summer. He has played more minutes than any other player since Tata Martino took over, and the departure of Thiago Alcantara and age of Xavi Hernandez should also play into his hands.

But there's more to the former Arsenal man's position at the club than immediately meets the eye, with his inability to find a niche in the first team since arriving from London in 2011 leaving some fans questioning his true quality.

Fabregas should still be wearing Blaugrana next season, but a no-show performance at the Mestalla might lead to more of the supporter base pushing for radical change ahead of Barca's ban-permitting summer transfer activity.

JAVIER MASCHERANO

Javier Mascherano might have arrived at the Camp Nou as an alternative to Xavi, Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta in the centre of midfield, but over time he has become one of Barcelona's most vital centre-backs. Under Pep Guardiola's system of using adaptable players all over the pitch, the Argentine was a key component as Barca attempted to pass their way through all-comers.

But the 29-year-old has looked more like a midfielder than ever before over recent times, with his defensive capabilities being shown up as teams look to exploit the Blaugrana's deficiencies at the back. So long as they can delay their transfer ban long enough to get some work done in the transfer window, at least one centre-back addition is almost guaranteed.

And Mascherano's usefulness will become questionable if that is the case. Should a new coach be given the reins in Catalunya, the ex-Liverpool man may find himself overlooked as a first choice, and a poor display in Wednesday's final might persuade the power-brokers that Mascherano is not only short of first-team quality but is also no longer capable of Barca-like performances.

ALVARO MORATA

For many, Alvaro Morata used to symbolise the future of Real Madrid. His positive performances in 2012-13, including a superb display in the home Clasico win last March, had suggested a platform had been built for him to become a first-team star for some time to come.

But his 2013-14 has not gone entirely to plan. The Spaniard has started only eight games all season, scoring seven times in a total of 28 appearances, with Karim Benzema's resurgence blocking his path to more regular football. While the Frenchman might not necessarily remain as hot next term, the Madrid board are hoping to bring in more striking stocks this summer, further reducing Morata's prospects in the first-team squad.

The 21-year-old is understood to be frustrated at the lack of opportunities this season, with Cristiano Ronaldo's assertion that the two cannot play effectively together resulting in reduced game time, and he is not short of admirers should he decide that his career is more likely to flourish away from the Bernabeu. Wednesday night is a big moment in his young career.

JOSE MANUEL PINTO

If one thing is currently clear about Barcelona's goalkeeping plans amidst the uncertainty of Fifa's transfer ban, it is that Jose Manuel Pinto is not in the club's plans.

The 38-year-old was thrust into the spotlight by Victor Valdes' season-ending injury and has since been considered by outsiders as the most likely No.1 at Camp Nou come the beginning of next season in light of the potential suspension on incoming transfers.

However, the club are confident that transfer activity will be permitted this summer by either a lifting or postponement of their punishment, meaning the completion of Marc-Andre ter Stegen's transfer from Borussia Monchengladbach. Simply put, Pinto is not in Barca's considerations for the new campaign with even a big showing in the Copa del Rey final unlikely to make the club rethink.

Pogba is a force of nature, says Buffon

The Italy international has nothing but praise for his young team-mate and has little doubt the Bianconeri directors will make the right decision on whether to sell the midfielder

Juventus shot stopper Gianluigi Buffon has voiced his admiration for Paul Pogba, describing the young Frenchman as "a true force of nature."

The midfielder has established himself as one of the brightest young players in Europe following his excellent form for the Bianconeri since his move from Manchester United.

The 21-year-old is continually being linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, with the Ligue 1 giants reportedly willing to pay up to €70 million for the powerful midfielder, and while Buffon admits such a fee could prove too tempting for the club to ignore, he is eager for the player to stay at the club.

"Paul is a natural talent. There's no arguing about that. He is a true force of nature," the Juventus goalkeeper told Sky.

"He has surprised everyone. He has just exploded and didn't need much time for it. We all understood within two months or so that he was a huge talent and that we were talking about a great player.

"But in a difficult economic situation like this, you have to take a lot of things into consideration if a big offer comes in. 

"But I would like to stress that the directors and the president have always made the right choices and will do the same in this case."

Pogba has a contract with Juventus until the summer of 2016.

Chelsea close in on €42.5m Diego Costa deal

The Blues have held meetings with the striker's camp over the past month and are near to securing an agreement to bring the Atletico Madrid star to Stamford Bridge in the summer

Chelsea are close to clinching the €42.5 million signing of Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa.

Representatives of the Londoners have held a series of meetings with Costa's camp over the last month and further talks are planned around the Champions League semi-final first-leg clash between the two teams.

DIEGO COSTA 2013-14 STATS

Chelsea have indicated in discussions that they are willing to pay €42.5m for the striker, although a significant portion of the transfer fee includes agents' fees.

The Europa League champions are also prepared to more than triple the wages of Costa, who is believed to earn around €61,000-a-week at the Estadio Vicente Calderon.

The west Londoners are keen to tie up the deal before the end of the season and ahead of Costa departing for the World Cup, where he is expected to be an integral member of the Spain squad trying to defend their 2010 crown.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone cleared the way on Tuesday for Costa to leave by admitting that his side were powerless to stop him being sold to a club of Chelsea's financial might.

"It will depend on [Costa] and what he thinks is the best for his future," Simeone told AS. "I will support any decision he makes. It's natural that Chelsea are interested in him. That makes me happy because my aim and that of my coaching staff is to see our players improve.

"We understand that Chelsea have huge financial power and, if he wants to live off football for the rest of his life, I will have no problem in him going. It was like Radamel Falcao, how could I tell him not to go to Monaco?

"Samuel Eto'o is getting older and Diego Costa could do his thing there but, for now, he is ours."

12/5	Atletico Madrid are 12/5 with Bet365 to beat Chelsea by one goal

Costa has emerged as Chelsea's top centre-forward target following a stellar campaign for Atletico, who head the table in La Liga as well as being in the last four of the Champions League.

The 25-year-old has scored 34 times in 45 matches this season and his 26-goal league haul is second only to Cristiano Ronaldo (28).

Chelsea were keen to trigger the Brazil-born forward's release clause in January, when he was also being closely monitored by rivals Arsenal, but the player did not want to leave in mid-season.

The buy-out figure was understood to be €36m in January, although a slightly higher sum of €42.5m will need to be paid to capture him in the summer window.

The Gunners have subsequently dropped their interest in Costa following lukewarm scouting reports, leaving Chelsea in pole position to capture the prolific striker.

Jose Mourinho has made no attempt to hide his desire to recruit a blue-chip striker amid doubts over the futures of all three of the Blues' senior frontmen - Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba. At least two of the trio are expected to leave in the summer, while Romelu Lukaku will hold talks with Chelsea chiefs when he returns from his season-long loan at Everton.

Atletico Madrid lead the chase for Torres and there is also interest in the Spaniard from Inter, Tottenham and Galatasaray. A growing possibility is that he could leave on a season-long loan to free up space in Chelsea's attack and on their wage bill.

Ba's representatives have already begun speaking to interested parties, while current first choice Eto'o, 33, is out of contract in the summer.

Manchester United ready to sell unhappy Javier Hernandez

The Mexican has complained to David Moyes about his lack of playing time and been told he can leave this summer, with Atletico Madrid interested in the striker

EXCLUSIVE
By Greg Stobart

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has been told the club are ready to sell him this summer after complaining about his lack of playing opportunities.

Hernandez has spoken to United manager David Moyes on at least three occasions in the last two months over his frustration with a lack of playing time having made just five Premier League starts this season.

The Mexican has been told the club will listen to offers in the summer and feels he is no longer in Moyes' plans having fallen behind Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck in the pecking order at Old Trafford.

Hernandez is now desperate for a summer transfer and has been strongly linked with Atletico Madrid as a replacement for Diego Costa, who is closing in on a move to Chelsea.

Hernandez, 25, was particularly upset that he was overlooked for a clearly unfit Wayne Rooney in the second leg of United's Champions League quarter-final defeat to Bayern Munich last week.

He had played for 90 minutes and scored in the 4-0 win over Newcastle four days earlier and felt he deserved to stay in the side, having also impressed in training in recent weeks.

Hernandez has made 31 appearances in all competitions this season - 20 as a substitute - and has scored nine goals during a disastrous first season for Moyes.

The former Guadalajara forward, who cost €9.7 million in 2010, is worried about a lack of sharpness going into the World Cup and looks set to join a summer exodus from Old Trafford.

Club captain Nemanja Vidic is heading to Inter while Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra, Shinji Kagawa, Nani, Anderson and Alex Buttner are among several other players expected to depart.

Giroud asks for Manchester United favour: Beat Everton for us!

The Arsenal striker wants to see David Moyes's side triumph at Goodison Park on Sunday and has vowed to score "again and again" to help his side secure a top-four finish

Olivier Giroud wants to see Manchester United come out on top against Everton on Sunday so boostArsenal's hopes of finishing in the top four.

The Gunners, who are currently fourth in the table and one point above Roberto Martinez's side, will guarantee qualification for the Champions League if they secure victory in each of their last four games.

Giroud, though, has called on United to assist the north Londoners and wants to see them triumph at Goodison Park as David Moyes returns to his former club.

"We need to win the last four 'finals' because we don't have our destiny in our hands," he told Arsenal's official club website. 

"I hope Everton will lose against maybe Manchester United this weekend. We keep focusing on what we have to do and win our games. After that we will see but first we have to do the job.

"I enjoy my stats because when you are a striker you think that we are looking for the stats and assists as well.

"I am OK with my stats but I know the team will need me again for the last [four] Premier League games. So I need to score again and again."

Giroud was on the scoresheet in Tuesday's 3-1 win over West Ham to take his tally for the season to 20 and, after kissing his black armband in tribute to the 96 who died during the Hillsborough disaster, insists he was desperate to score to allow him the chance to show his respect.

"Yes, I had a good chance to score in the first half," the Frenchman added. "I think I didn't do the good gesture so I really wanted to score and it was great for me and the team to come back.

"I learnt from my mistake in the first half and I took my chance on the second one and it's all about the control with my left foot so I was in a good position."
