Don't understand all this pride in our players in England squads stuff really. They're not the first, they won't be the last, they're just good players selected for their country. Supporters have nothing to do with that really. Played no part in their development, you just pay to watch them.

That's awful news...for England. Lugano is rubbish, old,slow and inept. A player who couldn't even make West Brom's starting XI has no place at the WC.

I read it as someone who knows little about football talking about football. To sum it up KL believes that the average fan's opinion on her will depend on results and little else and she is not wrong there.

And yet some would tell you that 35 million is just a reasonable price for Lallana, if they don't want to sell they'll stick a ridiculous price on him, if some mug pays them that then it's a win win situation for them. As it would be for Saints.

Perhaps, but not for 10 million €s though. Napoli make a lot of noise about signings but they're all mouth and no action as a rule. We do know however that they can't afford Reina from Liverpool. Morgan will go to Arsenal as likely as not, it's probably already in the pipeline except that he says nothing about anything.

All very insular, Lallana is much admired in Continental Europe as well you know, t'is true that English players don't export themselves much nowadays though. We might even get a bid from Monaco....you never know ;-)

Depends what our style will be really doesn't it. Can't see us continuing in exactly the same style. Need to let the manager decide how we play.

although this approach is occasionally scuppered by players determined to force their way out. When that happens you just need to ensure that ou get as much as you can. Personally I think Lallana will eventually force a move, don't know if it will be to Liverpool though.

What Bearsy? An erudite lad who likes to play the clown....so probably yes.

Perhaps.. it will certainly lower their perceived value, interested clubs seem to be looking elsewhere as well anyway. I don't even think those 2 are the principal targets within the club anyway, just the most publicised. No doubt other dealings are going on far from the popular press spotlight. We'll find out more as teams begin to be eliminated from the WC, probably starting with England or Uruguay. I read yesterday that Inter want to take Osvaldo on loan for next season with an option to buy which we seem to be fixing at about 11 million €.

insightful, ie full of insight, not full of sites.

And Rooney and Welbeck haven't been playing together for years ?

Don't seem to be many mid-week games, probably some IBs as well, doesn't qualifying for the Euro 2016 start in September ?

He'll also get sent off

Wow, tough schedule from 2 Dec to 10 Jan, hope we get an easy 3rd rounder in the Cup then.

i saw an interview with a Valencia player that he had a run in with the other day, bloke seemed to think he drank a lot of vino or something and stripped them of 7 millions euros or so for getting sacked. Joaquin I think his name was, Koeman dropped him for turning up 2 minutes late at a team talk but took no action over Ever Banega who got done for drunk driving and running a red light. Valencia was a total disaster for Koeman but it was 6 years ago, he's probably moved on since then.

Not really the point, whether a defender takes penalties well or a striker it still boosts thir goal total, so when you have "striker would be happy with that" it negates the question somewhat. A penalty is a penalty, who was it that said no professional football should miss one, Lineker perhaps. Penalties are great but they alter stats.

A lot of penalties and some sumptious free-kicks in that score though. The penalties...meh but the free kicks...class.

So in replacing Guly that would be like for like then.

Must have been a long holiday then.

Played 4-3-3 at Valencia, only know that because players said it made them into headless chickens. Not sure they didn't use a 3-5-2 formation at Feynoord though.

Just waiting for the ink to dry...done deal, not short of right backs anyway. I'd class him as about on a par with Clyne.

KD has a contract as a player up until about 2016 I think....why I just couldn't say but I've not heard any rumours about him jacking that in for a coaching role. He probably still sees himself as our number 2 keeper, it's not Gazzaniga or Cropper that will make him think otherwise.

I should think that if he goes anywhere this summer it would be to Monaco. Out of our league, as are probably most players in reputable CL clubs.

Time to declare 1 think, over 600 ahead, doesn't make any difference if we set them 600 or 800 really.
