John Curtis, IMO, is good enough for Tranmere but not a lot more. No better or worse than Robbie Stockdale IMO.
That's the impression I got on Saturday, though obviously one friendly is not enough to make a judgement. If he's no better than Stockdale then it seems futile releasing Stockdale, but there you go.

Officially Rob Edwards is a much better finisher then Jermaine Defoe.

That is all....

Methinks Mitchell is wrong on the Man Utd assistant job. If it's not someone from outside Britain it'll be someone already on the coaching staff.

Mitchell is just reporting what the BBC website tells him.

In other, more important news: St Blazey 0-8 Exeter City (Logan, Basham 2, Panther, Stewart, Sercombe 2, Harley).

Diaby, Denilson and Ramsey are all central midfielders, but can't see how any of them can step in and improve the first team straight away.

Xabi Alonso, don't think he's as good as Flamini personally, think they'd be losing out there.

If the Dips do manage to fund Barry's transfer by selling Alonso, then they'll have done well for themselves there IMO, even if they will still do sweet FA in the league.

Alonso and Flamini are different style players though. Arsenal pretty much need a hard-man to complinent are of the skill players they have ATM.

This Barry saga is getting a bit funny i must say even if a potential Barry/Gerrard partnership could be a good one i wouldn't believe for one minute that a Benetiz would really want to sell Alonso keeping him & strengthening their mid-field options surely is the way to go.

I doubt Barry will be partnered with Gerrard, I had assumed that, assuming a 4-2-3-1 formation, Barry and Mascherano would be paired in the two, with Gerrard in the middle of the 3. Obviously it's all speculation, but that's what would seem the obvious way to go for me.
