Paper Talk: penalty acrobatics, Iniesta for sale?, Rooney slams United, Liverpool long-ranger After a penalty miss, this Belgian footballer decided to find the back of the net through a bicycle kick! Wayne Rooney, Andres Iniesta and Xabi Alonso feature in today's Paper Talk. PAPER Talk features the classiest way to miss a penalty and a Xabi Alonso-esque stunning long range goal from a Liverpool starlet. If you're going to miss a penalty, follow Belgian second division player Glenn van der Linden's example. With eight minutes remaining van der Linden's side Hoogstraten won a penalty against Mouscron. Goalkeeper Alexandre Oukidja saved the first effort, only for the ball to fall perfectly back into the van der Linden's path, who duly smashed an overhead kick into the back of the net. We wonder if he was telling his mates at the bar later than night it was all planned. You've got to hand it to Wayne Rooney. After being denied his wish to leave Manchester United, he's started the season brilliantly and was the only Red Devils player not culpable in the embarrassing loss to Manchester City. But that means little for Rooney, who scored a delightful late consolation free kick in the 4-1 shocker. "It is not good enough," the 27-year-old said. Catch all the action from a massive weekend in the Premier League. We know we have to improve and stop giving these sloppy goals away. It is nice to score but it means nothing," he said. The most important thing was the points and we have come away with none. Liverpool starlet Adam Morgan has drawn comparisons to Kop hero Xabi Alonso after this wondergoal against Manchester City's U-21 side. Morgan's stunning long-range effort that resembled Spaniard Alonso's famous strike against Newcastle United back in 2006. Morgan is yet to feature in the Premier League and Reds fans will be hoping it isn't too long before he starts to produce this kind of magic on the game's biggest stage. Liverpool teenager Adam Morgan's long range strike in an under 21's game against Manchester City has brought back memories of a former Reds favourite. Chelsea are set to field a starting XI worth $233million when they visit third-tier English outfit Swindon. Blues big names Juan Mata, David Luiz, Willian and Michael Essien should start in the third round Capital One Cup tie. On Mata, Blues assistant Steve Holland says the Spaniard needs to "adapt" if he wants to nail down a starting spot at Stamford Bridge. "Having to adapt - and Jose (Mourinho) has used that phrase - is nothing particularly new here," said Holland. It's another adaptation that is required. Juan has shown in his time here that he's more than capable of doing that. And I'm sure that will be the case this time. Failing adaption, Mata could just move to Barcelona, with rumours circling the Catalan side are monitoring the out of favour 25-year-old's situation. By all accounts, it's a four horse race to decide who will take over from sacked Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio, with Champions League-winning manager Roberto Di Matteo, Gianfranco Zola, Gus Poyet and Tony Pulis the frontrunners. Goal.com reports that Di Matteo is reluctant to take up the post due to instability, while Zola's "training ground style" has him as a potential option, the Mirror claims. Whoever comes in will be wary of player power, with Di Canio's disgruntled charges one of the key catalysts to his downfall. Andres Iniesta has rejected Barcelona's first offer of a new contract throwing his long term future at the Nou Camp into doubt and putting a number of Europe's big clubs on red alert. They include Bayern Munich and both Manchester clubs, who will closely monitor the ongoing talks between the 30-year-old and the club. Thiago Alcantara, Eric Abidal and David Villa have all been offloaded to free up wage space for mega-signing Neymar and Iniesta, who scored the winning goal in the 2010 World Cup final, could soon follow them out the door. Iniesta has seen his role on the pitch diminished so far this season, starting just three of the five games in the league and only playing one full 90 minutes as new coach Tata Martino plays a less-possession based style off football. One man who won't be leaving Barcelona is Lionel Messi, who's been embroiled in a handshake scandal, with Rayo Vallecano's Raul Baena claiming the Argentine refused to shake his hand before a match. "In many reports it has been assumed that it was me who refused to greet Messi," the 24-year-old told Rayo's official website. They were passing us by for the greeting. You can clearly see that there is hint from me to shake hands, in seeing him (Messi) pass by, I retract mine. I do not know if he did not notice, but I do not give it any importance. Nor I do not want to focus much on this, it is an insignificant detail, but I want to clarify and settle the issue now. Liverpool were handed a massive injury boost as defender Glen Johnson was in hospital to have his cast removed. The England full back injured his ankle in the 1-0 victory over Manchester United at the beginning of the month and there were fears he could be out until Christmas after the defender left Anfield on crutches. But Johnson tweeted on Monday morning: 'This is finally coming off today! #MentalBoost' His exact return date is still unknown but he won't be ready to face bitter rivals Manchester United in the Capital One Cup on Thursday morning (EST). There are fears the abdominal injury that caused Theo Walcott to be miss the win over against Stoke City is worse than first thought. According to The Mirror, tests have revealed the winger could miss Arsenal's next three matches. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is enduring a minor personal crisis with attackers Santi Cazorla, Lukas Podolski, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Yaya Sanogo and now Theo Walcott all injured. He's lost the weight and now Nicklas Bendtner is ready to return for Arsenal in their Capital One Cup clash against West Brom. Bendtner, who has spent loan spells at Sunderland and Italian champions Juventus since last appearing for Arsenal in 2011, has not scored for the Gunners since bagging a hat-trick in the FA Cup against Leyton Orient 30 months ago. We have a Capital One Cup game at West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday and I will rotate the team, of course. Nicklas Bendtner has a chance to be involved," Wenger said in an email to Arsenal fans on Monday. Yesterday's Paper Talk reported on Mario Balotelli's eventful afternoon against Napoli. Today the Italian has been handed a three-match ban for "insulting and intimidating comments" towards the referee after the match. Balotelli missed a penalty, scored a late goal and was sent off before going on his angry tirade.
