Well they already have Raul, Ronaldo, van Nistelrooy, Robinho, Cassano, that is enough.

Whatever happened to Javier Portillo?
Would Ronaldo deliver as much as some one else is a big question. If they get a quality striker to work in tandem with Ruud, I think they would do great. Else, get rid of Ronaldo and play with the 1 striker in front according to me.

No idea what happened to Portillo.

Not really Woodgates strongest area that one....
haha, but its sad that he has all these injury problems, it really hasn't helped his cause in pushing for a national place.

Yea because the vegetable frequently started with Downing and had the game won at half-time...
McLaren only started Downing because Cole was injured - when Eriksson was in charge, he picked Cole to start because Cole's better.

The only reason that game was won at half time was because the Greek's didn't turn up at all in the first half. Against a decent team, we would've created at best one half chance or so in the 90 minutes.

Only you could have such a ridiculous vendetta against a manager who's been in charge for one game and in that game England were 4-0 up at half-time.
Completely ignoring what I said, yet again.

Almost everything McLaren did, Eriksson had done in the past, yet where Eriksson got criticised completely for these actions, McLaren was being praised.

Wasn't Portillo shipped off on loan to Brugge or something? That's after him being shipped off on loan to Fiorentina, of course.

Don't know if he's sealed a permanent move somewhere, though.

Neill on his way to Liverpool

2m for one of the best players in the WC is a steal.
He'd be better than old man Hyypia in the centre but Liverpool should persist with Agger alongside Carragher and he would be behind Finnan on the right. Silly move for Lucas if it does go through.

Kewell to Spurs, Viduka to Newcastle are the other two Australian rumours going around the papers however those two have come up in every transfer window for the last 2 years.

Looks like Cashley's gonna have to suck it up unless yer Chavs come in with a realistic offer in the next 26 hours.

Word in the paper today is that his "auto"biography (as if he can read or write! Laughable!), which was due out this Monday is on hold until he knows if he's staying with us.

A realistically unrealistic offer? Didn't they offer 20 million?

Gallas is looking likely to have a few awkward moments in the dressing room as well.

They did but at the time we were after £30 mill, by the time we lowered our price they'd thought better of it & came back with £16 million.

Lucas has not left yet, rejected their initial bid. But I am assured that they will be back for him before tomorrow night is out. Danny Mills lined up to replace him, FFS.
:laugh:

Wow. Feeling your pain, dude. Danny Mills! That's like treating lung cancer with Lockets!

Why? All he has to do is chew the fat for a year then **** off next year to Spain. His team-mates can hardly begrudge him, his made his feelings pretty transparent throughout.

Play Emerton at RB. He's a much better fullback than winger.

England quickly beat who was put in front of them, that's all they can do. The vegetable would have picked anyone but Downing in that situation because the vegetable is too dumb to realise when he's completely stuffing up team England just so he can have the best individuals playing. He'd have picked Beckham on the right with Gerrard on the left and Lampard and Hargreaves in the middle.

Mourinho might see it a little differently...

Yet the last friendly under Eriksson, I don't remember you giving England praise.

Funny that...

They've changed the story since i looked at it earlier. Earlier it made it sound like it was a done deal.

I didn't give him criticism for winning 6-0 either nor did I give McClaren praise for the 4-0 victory. It was a meaningless practise game which don't really tell you anything about the team, only about the players. As long as a friendly is used properly then that's fine.
