This is a good move for Spurs. He's respected throughout Europe, and as such can attract some good players. Plus he should have a good grasp of the promising French players, so expect more Pires' than Diouf's. From the Spurs site.

Yorke's probably off to Qatar for a nice payday. And, no disrespect to Villa, but could they afford him, especially just to sit on the bench? And anyway, Everton have the market on over-paid has beens cornered!

I'm guessing your a Leicester fan, and so I have to ask...How did Leicester kick start his career? He was playing in the Premiership for Man City and Arsenal before he went to Leicester, wasn't he? Norwich sign Keeper That would be a great move by Spurs. And his contract with France expires mid Euro 2004, so he could sign a pre-contract with Spurs now.

Theres more chance of Duncan Ferguson not getting sent off next season than Martin O'Neil being the next Spurs manager. I'll go for... Ranieri. No, Queiroz. No, Taylor... Ah fuck it, I haven't got a clue either.

The Man Utd. one looks...wrong...and I can't put my finger on why. The Arsenal one is sweet.

That sentence alone should shoot the whole Benitez to Liverpool rumour down in a pile of burning wreckage, but I do think he will be the next Liverpool manager, but Liverpool still need work before they come close to Arsenal. And before anyone calls me a bitter blue nose, I have many Kopite friends who agree.

I wouldn't ay the 5-1 was a fluke. England were far and away the better team on the day. Germany have some good young players, such as Kuranyi (sp?), and always seem to get lucky, especially comapred to England. Just look at the last World Cup - England had one of, if not the hardest groups, while Germany had a guaranteed 3 points head start from Saudi Arabia.

I can't see any big name players going to Spurs until they have a manger sorted out. Football365 rumours Can't see Liverpool signing Neil, although it would prevent anymore broken legs.

Source Oh, and Rooney isn't going anywhere, and nor is he crap.

Sky Sports Story I think the "one they have already approached" is Davids, to be honest, and not Veron. Davids' contract is up in the summer, leaving more money for Zac to spend elsewhere.

It's all about opinions. Whenever i've seen him (and, I admit, I haven't seen all of his games this year), I've never been impressed. And, to borrow one of your phrases, if you think Wayne Rooney has done nothing for Everton this season, you couldn't have hardly watched him, outside of The Premiership's 30 second highlights. I'm not saying he's the best in the world, and he may be over-rated by some, but it's clear that one day, he will be one of the top players around. Give him time, because, as long as he doesn't get a serious injury, he will be around for a good 20 years. Oh, and no, he shouldn't be playing for England yet, Defoe, Smith or Beattie would be a better choice. But like I said, it's all about opinions.

Course not, I'm from Liverpool. Kidda. And David Moyes has confirmed that he wants Joe Cole on loan, because the Everton board are to tight arsed to shell out for him permanantly. Okay, I added that last bit.

Decent teams there. Was it Middlesborough's Juninho, or one of the other ones?

About fuckin' time. Finally Perez has realised that Madrid are not goin to out score every team they play. I'd like to see Samuel partnered with Helguera, but Pavon will likely keep his place with Helguera in the midfield. They're still missing Makalele.

What are the teams? I know it's France v Brazil, but specifically?

Were talking Football, not Basketball. But Kobe could probably get into the Everton team right now.

They sound more like that than Scousers do. I have a Brummie Uncle, and am a Scouser myself, and that sounded more like a Brummie than a Scouser to me.

It's better than Geordie. And you do know that Gerrard is Scouse, not Brummie or Cockney, don't you?

I agree, but don't ignore the David Moyes factor. The man is so ambitious, and so able to communicate that, that he could convince nearly anyone that Everton was the place to be. Everything Moyes has said recently has been an indication of his ambition. But the cynic in me says this is just another attempt by the Everton board to win the fans over with token gestures.

Harsh. But unless something happens, true. Everton have said they haven't made a bid yet, but intend to. Everton want Smith-Official Site Report

That's from Sky Sports. Although were Everton got £7 milliom from, I don't know. I can't see him coming to Everton, but I'm suprised Newcastle haven't come in for him. He'd be a good replacement for Shearer.

I went for Pippo because every time I see him, he just looks lazy and uninterested. And, has any striker been caught offside needlessly more often? It might just be because he's alongside Sheva, and most strikers would look poor compared to him, but I've just never been impressed. Also, it might be his transfer fee from Juve to Milan (£25 million wasn't it?), because for that, I'd want a bit more than a diving pretty boy who gets caught offside 9 times out of 10.

Raul is the most underrated player in the world. If he never wins the World Footballer Of The Year award, it will be a travesty. He isn't a flashy as Zidane or Figo, but is just as good, if not better. I wouldn't go for anyone on your list, so I'm going to say other, with Pippo Inzaghi as my choice.

Czech Republic Squad:

Just a quick point: Baros-missed 5 months with a broken leg. Owen-Various niggles through the season. Pongolle-is 18, and only special 18 year olds like Rooney are regulars. We obviously have different views as to what kind of player Beattie is. Whenever I've seen him, he's held the ball up, won things in the air, and made intelligent runs. Kind of like an all rounder, not excellent at one thing, but good at a few. And, if England don't have a big striker, than surely it would be up to the players and coaches to adapt to that, and play along the ground, through the midfield, instead of hoofing it 5o yards like normal?
