Well I can see the Oscar deal being done myself, Internacional are keen to cash in on Oscar to free up his place in the team for Ganso who they're signing from Santos. All rather complicated but the 55% shareholder in Ganso is buying Santos' share in the player for around £5 million, they will...

Some people till going on about Torres' pricetag I see some things never change, I think he did well last season with the service he had. Any striker would struggle to score with the supporting widemen he had in my opinion, I think he could well be back to his top form next season with the...

Been a while since you saw my incessant semi-ranting... Bit of a waste of a tournament for England for me, we got Jones 0 minutes in a tournament we introduced Chamberlain by have him mark his fullback and spend most of his time 10 yards from Ashley Cole. Not sure what the point of it all was...

I would personally keep Parker as captain at the Euro's because even if Terry/Lampard/Gerrard are in the squad neither of them are playing good enough to even get in my starting eleven. Parker was fairly unlucky tonight with his slips and positioning, for me he's the best role model and leader...

Moving Luiz from centreback is counter productive in my opinion, Ivanovic looks exposed beyond belief at the moment playing centre or right back and the alternative alongside Cahill is Terry. This argument people put to each other that somehow AVB needs all the experienced players is absurd...

The old cliche of not playing young players in struggling teams comes to mind, if AVB put in McEachran/Romeu/Piazon/Bertrand/Courtois/Davila in this team at the moment not only would it be a huge gamble but if they go out and get beat that's their confidence destroyed collectively unnecessarily...

Strachan goes to Leeds and buys maybe Thomson; Robson; McManus; Boyd; Flood you will be shoe ins for relegation. I'd not wish Strachan or his transfer policy of Scottish is best on any club, not even Leeds. I can't see McCarthy working under Bates, Clark would be a good appointment but Bates'...

Before Whyte took over he looked over the finance sheets for weeks if not months, I can't imagine that he didn't have an incline this would happen. The cynic in me says this was his plan all along which is why he hasn't invested in transfers, administration is probably a better financial option...

I think Strachan/Warnock for Leeds, Bruce for Wolves and then Clark will probably take over at Ipswich when Jewell is sacked. Can't see Clark getting a Premier League job, ambitious Championship club is probably his next destination. Still surprised Huddersfield have done this, there's not an...

If Sturridge isn't careful he could turn into Walcott, stifled development simply down to the players insistence on either being a 'key man' or playing 'down the middle'. Not sure he's been getting the best advice, he should have focused and got his head down this season. He's not being...

Not sure I see your points on Ozil/Khedira. Khedira's a good young player who will clearly surpass Parker in 2-3 years time but at the present moment Parker has shown consistently he's a top class player. In a better team like Spurs he's showing his class, Khedira's not exactly shone when he's...

McLeish lives to entertain, I was thoroughly entertained by his game plan personally. Clearly he played Heskey RM to negate the aerial threat of Kolarov and he went 10 behind the ball at home to make sure Bent couldn't score so his stock wouldn't rise. Watching Heskey play...

There would probably be a buyer for Cech/Cole, Terry and Lampard are on extortionate wages on fairly long term deals for their age. There is not a chance Chelsea will be able to get rid of Terry/Lampard even if there were suitors, you saw with Anelka the only club willing to pay even 90% of his...

7.5 million pounds too late. After the abysmal showing at South Africa he was never going to recover the fans, he lacks the power to inspire players he always has. Spain friendly aside, which surprised me, you look at the Ghana/France/Sweden friendlies and he just never set the team up with...

I'm not sure it's time to get out the lifeboats and abandon the ship yet, still in joint 4th place and there's plenty of young talent at the club which is something we couldn't say this time last year. You look at the signings of young players and you can see an almost complete team: Courtois...
