A bit disappointing as regards his attitude when at Saints.

Bad news for next season.

http://www.bfmtv.com/sport/schneiderlin-dement-avoir-ete-rappele-788431.html Morgan denies having been called up.

Perhaps they got it off here.

The reserves are no longer with the squad. I think Morgan has gone on holiday. I hope he's not too far away and been keeping healthy. Interestingly no mention of his selection in French press. Perhaps they have been asked to wait until DD's presser.

Do Liverpool have a problem with UEFA FFP? I think they had £50m debts last year. Perhaps they can't spend as freely as we'd like.

Here we go .... From BBC

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/479441/Southampton-want-30m-each-for-Luke-Shaw-and-Adam-Lallana A nice comment for all his international team mates at Southampton. (And I wouldn't call all the England players world_class.)

Captain Adam Lallana tells Southampton he wants to be allowed to leave St Mary's when he returns from the World Cup Headline on BBC

Let's loan him out for a year then he can get his CL experience. After that he can help us get back to the Prem.

It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation but I would say that it's because of their decline whilst Puel was manager that income fell and they have now changed their philosophy. I don't know enough to say it was Puel's fault: could well have been bad decisions from Aulas.

No. That was in 2009 before PSG and Monaco started investing.

Lyon were champions of France 7 years in a row before Puel was appointed. Since he joined them they have been going downhill.

I wonder if the fact the deal came out in the press has made the Saints board reconsider the deal? Perhaps they consult social media and see its not going down too well. If the add ons are things like winning the EPL or CL Saints won't be getting much extra.

The fact he has a 5 year contract (Rodgers only got 3!) shows perhaps Saints gave him a good proposition and Spurs had to up theirs to get him.

Interesting that of the reserves DD gave Cabella 10 mins rather than Morgan. Cabella has been bigged up by the French press this week. I believe the reserves are leaving the squad tomorrow.

very obliging wall

DD has said some of the seven reserves could play in tomorrow's freindly so MS might get his first game for France.

He has joined the French training camp today and is doing a press conference with DD at the moment.

Coming on as a sub on Saturday he scored a vital goal that gave Sochaux a chance of avoiding relegation if they win their last game. I think he has scored twice this season.

Did he and Lovren have issues?

Yesterday off the French coast, a United Airlines Boeing's radio contact was lost and it was slightly off its path. A fighter jet was immediately sent to investigate. This must be standard procedure but doesn't seem to have happened with the Malaysian Boeing. https://translate.google.fr/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpoitou-charentes.france3.fr%2F2014%2F05%2F04%2Fun-rafale-porte-assistance-un-boeing-au-dessus-de-la-cote-atlantique-470795.html&edit-text=
