also David Bentley after spurs let him go...


Avoid. Hasn't done anything since 2008 and his career's totally fallen apart, looked poor in the Championship last season, and would probably ask for big wages.

Don't think it'll happen though - West Ham would surely know better, wasn't he only with you last season? (as in 11/12)

Fellaini would be a good signing but ain't near the level of Vieira.

These 2 will be, they were suspended for the Italy game.

If Delfouneso, Wickham and Sordell are the best young strikers we've got then we have no chance, awful, also playing Lowe over Chalobah was a poor decision. I've always liked Pearce but no way is he ever going to be a good manager, especially of youngsters


Yeah, as much as I obviously want Lowe to do well he's not really that good tbh, when he's starting for England u21's and Verratti is in the opposing midfield it shows the difference.

Agree on the strikers. There's a serious lack of good English strikers these days but surely those three will never make it as a full international. Me and my dad were saying actually during the Brazil game that if Rooney can break the all time scoring record (needs about 13 more I think), then he'll comfortably hold on to it for a long time - the next person to get anywhere near will most likely be somebody who hasn't even started playing professionally yet.

It's pretty desperate that Stuart Pearce is still in charge of bringing through what is supposed to be the brightest young talent in the country, with his 'keep it tight and hope to nick one' philosophy.

Is it £34m for Fernandinho? Just caught a bit of Martinez's interview and that's the fee they were reporting.

Jonathan Johnson:

Assuming this is right, who will replace him? Blanc's now at Roma, and there aren't too many available managers of PSG's standard.


Blanc is only one name being considered for the Roma job, not done at all yet. But I don't think PSG would go for him anyway.

As for Carroll, he'd be better off staying at West Ham imo. The team would more or less be built around him, and in a style of play which is perfect for him. Which would be ideal especially with the World Cup coming up (if England make it).

Jesus Navas to City seems to be getting closer. £17m plus add-ons according to the Guardian.

Bolton will be up there I think, Freedman looks like a good manager. If Wigan keep hold of most of their squad and don't appoint a dud they shouldn't be a million miles off. Reading with Adkins too yeah.

Hard to say with QPR - people have said they could do a Newcastle and dominate it but Newcastle kept a large number of their players iirc, whereas QPR will surely have to ship loads out and bring a few more in.

Hughes isn't that bad. He did okay at Blackburn and Fulham


He was superb here. Step above McCleish and his dinosaur tactics IMO regardless of what happened at QPR.

Stoke would be better not giving him a lot of money. When he didn't have a lot here, he bought Samba (400k), Nelsen (free), Benni Mac (2.5m), Santa Cruz (2.5m), Bentley (few hundred k), even Bellamy was only £4m I think. And he got the absolute best out of all of them.

That's why it's so hard to understand what happened at QPR - he kept signing completely the wrong kind of player, misjudged the situation horribly.

People will remember his spell at QPR over Rovers and, to a lesser extent, Fulham, though so if he messes up at Stoke it'll probably be the last time he can walk into a PL job.

He played a couple of sweet passes today tbf, that one to Wilbraham when he hit it straight at Almunia and I think it was him who bent one wonderfully round the defence to set Phillips free.

I'm sure he'll do well at United.

the only negative thing has been 200 or so Roma fans throwing rocks at the team bus as it approached the training ground.


Wish it was 20,000. Absolutely ashamed of that performance tonight.

Almost half time now in the Coppa derby final. We've been, in a word, rubbish.....Lazio have had the better of it and Klose has had a couple of chances but not much apart from that.

The positives are that it's still 0-0, and my bet365 stream is good quality after ESPN decided to show IndyCar racing instead.

There's a few comments saying they beat the Faroe Islands 3-0 not long back, so maybe not worth keeping an eye on anyway!

Most likely yeah.

De Laurentiis claims Benitez has agreed to join Napoli too. His time at Inter was pretty poor but still a decent capture for Napoli I think.

Would two men shouting "Sieg Heil!" after stabbing a Jew make them terrorists?


I really don't know, I'm not gonna pretend I know anything about this sort of stuff.

I don't understand how someone getting stabbed is an act of terror. If someone got stabbed outside a nightclub, would that be an act of terror too?


Did they not shout 'Allah akbar' (or whatever it is) afterwards? Thought I read that somewhere.

Where's PSG when you need him?!


Was he even French? For some reason I remember him as being from somewhere else, forgot where though........might have been Eastern Europe somewhere.

Apparently Phil Neville is in talks to be the new Everton manager.

Bold move...


Very bold, would be a huge gamble and could see it ending in tears......it's a crucial appointment for Everton, I'd avoid just promoting people from within.

Remarkably, they had Benitez as 4/1 favourite on SSN - Di Matteo can do better yep but even more so Benitez. Surely they won't get either of them.

We've got a 'glamour' friendly against a Premiership club at home - that doesn't half show how far we've fallen. Knowing Rovers post 2010 it'll be the winner of Watford/Palace anyway, which is probably why it hasn't been properly announced.

Find it odd as well that Chelsea and City have already jetted out to America (or are about to, not sure) to play each other - twice.....

Given the money Pulis has spent he's done an awful job at Stoke since getting them promoted.


The last couple of years they should have done better than just float around 13th/14th still playing the same 'style' of football despite spending loads on Crouch and Jones etc, agreed with that, but I really wouldn't call it an awful job.

An awful job is something like Kean did at Rovers, not getting a team up and then avoiding any serious relegation trouble for the next five seasons. FA Cup final as well. But yeah, they should have done better last couple of years and they're not really improving, especially when clubs who've spent a lot less have finished top 10 in that time.

Despite the grim football he's got them up and kept them out of any real danger for 5 seasons now, albeit without really improving them despite spending a fair bit of money.

Dunno who they'll go for next.

Dzeko I think.
