Still when he makes his world cup debut in 2018 he'll be a P*mpey boy through and through!!

Nah, his signing (like the red kit) was just to appeal to the Asian Market.

Not trawling through the whole thread but weren't we rumoured to be using (on page one or two) last season's yellow kit as our 3rd. It was rubbished by all the "yellow musy be our away kit" merchants but most of the rumours have turned out to be true.

Are the pre-printed Michu, Buttner and Butland ones available yet??

This Asian market theory is absolute tosh! It's a kit for one season only (the last season of the Umbro contract) and probably done because last season's sales were relatively poor because ALL of out fan base has at least one from previous seasons, very similar. Pound to a dollar, we will be back in read and white stripes next season.

Wasn't Chester's Diva Stadium partially in Wales?

Get the feeling Mr Murray is going to make an appearance most days on most threads this summer.

What about a Barbie doll p!55!ng herself laughing?

The squad will basically be the current England U21 team supplemented by Giggs, Bellamy and Richards, with the addition of Bale and Ramsay. Don't see any Scots or Irish making the cut though.

That's like saying Luke Shaw's not good enough to be 3rd choice LB for us. Ridiculous statement.

Neither because Citeh can afford it and Pompey will just dip into their tax kitty.

They don't need to. They just use ours!

This! £6M does seem a lot for somebody of Butland's experience but he could well become the most expensive keeper in the country in 3/4 years time. Also, if true, it does suggest our transfer budget is considerably more than most thought.

I don't think that is necessarily the case. I think (although I have no evidence) that Holt may well have been picked if Hodgson had been in his job longer. I think he just picked the players he knew really and there was never going to be much scope for "new" faces. Leading up to the World Cup qualifiers, he may well give some players a chance. Surely Lallana gives him a better option than Jordan Henderson? But you are right in the fact that AL will have to prove himself as a Premier League player first. PS. Sorry for butting in to a private argument!

And in terms of RL Bradford are a massive club. Their monthly wage bill is £300k.

Agree with all of that except the Carroll is average bit. He ain't that good!!

Depends who you are comparing him to. Morgan? Probably not; Cork and Chappers? Probably on a par with them; Hammond? Definitely!

Nah, Monkou deserved a Dutch Cap, Van Gobble was just a plonker!

Taking out the 4 home associaions as well as the FAI, my team would be: Niemi Golac Monkou Svensson Skacel Kachloul Schneiderlin Ekelund Berkovic Ostenstad Pahars Subs: Keller Petrescu Fonte Lee Jones (not quite old enough to judge on whether Charlie Miller was worth a place as the token Brazilian. Got to be better than Guly though).

Or Shilton for that matter!

Do you not rate Mick Mills (although granted he played a lot as RB), Wayne Bridge or Gareth Bale?

If you can have a Welshman and an Englishman in an "international" team then you can have a Scotsman and put Eric Martin as sub goalie.

As much as I like Jos. Kenny Monkou in his pomp was a much better player.

Golac was very much a right back/right wing back!
