not that it concerns mayuka really but I see that Sheffield Utd have a new super rich co-owner, perhaps they'll take Billy off our hands on loan.

We haven't got any so no need to discuss them here then. We play 4-2-3-1 with the full backs getting forward when they can, Fox doesn't do that so when he deputises for Shaw we're bound to be short on that side. On Saturday we tried to push Morgan out there, god knows why but as we had no JRod it was about the only choice. Mauricio has to get the selection right which means he has to drop Lambert and no doubt JWP and replace them with Gaston and JRod, once that's done the problem of width won't exist any more.

Anyway the problem will disappear with Deschamps, he's a knob and only likes a certain type of player. If you think the English are critical of Woy's selection process you should see the comments on Deschamps in L'Equipe's forums. His choices are completely arbitrary, like Benzema who hasn't scored for France for about 2 years but he plays for Real so he keeps getting picked.

they do have a bloke called Sebastien Corchia, great little LB but as he plays for Sochaux and they're not willing to sell him to Lyon for a packet of KP nuts and an orange he's out of the National team as well. 26 U21 games but not a single full cap, with DD you either play for a club he thinks is worthy or you don't get the nod.

now why doesn't that surprise me, we let Punch go to Palace because the terms were obviously right, why we wouldn't let Sharp go to any other PL side would be surprising. We don't loan players out and still pay the majority of their salary, that's what this is about. It was the case for Dickson and I doubt that we've changed our policy.If players want to leave before the end of their contracts then they either find a club who can and will pay them what they want or take a part of their remaining contract from us and become free agents. Then there was the speculation that he was to go to Celtic if they qualified for the CL group stages which they did, obviously nothing in that one either.

Deschamps likes a certain type of player, I'm going to give you a list of names and you'll see what I mean Kondogbia,Pogba,Guillavogui,Sissoko, Capoué,M'Vila why even the ever dependable Gonalons has been dropped and Cabaye has been temporarily sidelined because he's in dispute with Newcastle and suspended for the first qualifier (then again so is Pogba). Morgan is paying the price for being put aside from the system because he didn't comply when the U21 coach of the time (since sacked for failure to qualify for the U21 Euro) told him to find a "better club". True he's had a couple of minor selections since then but was never part of their system. Deschamps also has a penchant for players playing in european competitions, f you look this summer all those not playing in Europe have moved on to clubs who are ,in some cases the instant that their club has been knocked out like Guilavogui. In brief Morgan is paying for his loyalty to Saints by being cast aside from the National Team. Deschamps doesn't watch him or have him watched, there's very little hope that he'll get a call whilst Deschamps calls the shots.

Indeed restriction of trade is not permitted,however if they have refused loan moves then the case becomes less clear. We have to allow them to attend training of some sort or other I think.

what for ? Loan window doesn't close and none of those 3 will be going to a top flight team..well unless it's in Albania or something.

oooh don't kid yourself that Sochaux will be financing his salary all by themselves, not on meagre LFP handouts and 10000 home crowds. Sochaux's total budget must be somewhere around 32 million £, about half of our PL handout not to mention commercial and ticket revenues.

you risk being seriously disappointed then, they are awful, narrowly escaped relegation last season and this season isn't really looking any better. No money because of all the Peugeot layoffs over the years. He'd have been far better off going to the NPC but I seriously suspect that he wanted to be nearer Switzerland for some reason or other. To judge the level of your average ligue 1 team you just have to look at the Europa League qualifiers, St Etienne booted out by some Danish side or other and Nice (4th last time round) overturned by a Chypriot club I think. PSG+Monaco = loadsamoney,Marseille keeping battling and hoover up some young French talent cos Marseille well it's Marseille but the rest is garbage. Lyon were put out of the CL fairly easily by Sociedad...yeah right.

who knows, everybody is always off to Arsenal but they don't actually sign many players. Once they've paid 42 odd million for Ozil (if he doesn't turn them down again) they'll probably have about enough left for Ba.

Billy Sharp is just the man they need then.

thought he could have done better than Sochaux, they aren't all that good but as it's right on the Franco/Swiss border perhaps this is a move to put him back nearer where he wants to be. Thought we might have been interested in Boudebouz from FCSM but he's now going to Bastia for a measly million €s

If he deserved his chance another club would have snapped him up by now. There must be some fundamental reason as to why he isn't playing for us or anyone else.

perhaps we were doing England U21s a favour, personally I'd be concerned over our insistance with JWP and Chambers when there are obviously better players available. Smacks of Rupert Lowe in his finest hours.

school's still out though

he's gone, apparently, you never know which of these are genuine. https://www.facebook.com/emmanuel.mayuka.fanpage

think he has, season long loan.

why not, people paid £25 to watch us play them just a couple of years back. Think we might see something approaching the full side out as well, winnable game will leave us what, 2 games from Wembley ?

perhaps he's put in a written request, he can't be happy with the current situation now can he. From an undisputed starter to 4th choice is hard to assume.

no good adding players if you're afraid to drop Lambert so that you finish with a mish-mash of blokes out of position. It's either Osvaldo or Lambert but not both. If we add a wide man you'd have to drop Lallana or JWP but we don't seem willing to do that just now.

perhaps but Liverpool are still hoovering up anyone with a pair of boots, Sakho and now Moses on loan as well in just the last 2 days. How much have they actually spent this summer ?

Doubt if we'll do anything more, wouldn't mind a left back myself, someone like Assou Ekotto but apparently QPR are trying to get him on loan. Difficult to get players out of London once they get in there, seem attached to it with a bit of string, like Puncheon.

didn't get enough time for me to judge really, missed a couple of half chances, doesn't look like a winger . Spurs are spendthrift, they buy far too many players, what do they intend to do with Holtby and Sigurdsson who were last season's best thing since sliced bread.

All will be better once the transfer window shuts tomorrow, no more ins and no more first team outs. Think that there may be a few undecided issus until then.
