      The article left me empty, in a state of utter despair and a feeling of acute nausea because it came to me in a blinding flash that this twat WILL score on Saturday. It is written.

      • Seems like a decent lad tbh.

        He's scoring lots of goals too, admittedly at a lower level, but he clearly knows how to finish. Maybe, what with Chelsea's striker issues, we could see him break into the first tea- hahahahahahaha just kidding. He'll never play for us :(

  • does that mean England are gonna win the world cup in 6 or 7 years?

    probably not does it? I've only just seen we won it back in 2010 as well. here's the team (and BBCs descriptions of them) that still havent won the world cup:

    Jack Butland (Birmingham City) Position: Goalkeeper Age: 17 Caps: 9. Voted Birmingham's young player of the season for 2009/10.

    Bruno Pilatos (Middlesbrough) Defender Age: 17 Caps: 20. Born in Angola. Named substitute for first time for Boro's game against Swansea on 23 January.

    Luke Garbutt (Everton) Defender Age: 17 Caps: 24. Joined Everton from Leeds United in the summer of 2009 for reported £200,000.

    Nathaniel Chalobah (Chelsea) Defender Age: 15 Caps: 17. Singled out for praise by FA Director of Football Development Sir Trevor Brooking. Will only turn 16 in December.

    Andre Wisdom (Liverpool) Defender Age: 17 Caps: 17. Powerful, pacey centre-back who helped Liverpool reach the FA Youth Cup final last season.

    Conor Coady (Liverpool) Midfielder Age: 17 Caps: 17. Captain for both his country and club (under 18 side). Tough-tackling midfielder in mould of club-mate Steven Gerrard.

    William Keane (Manchester United) Midfielder Age: 17 Caps: 15. Creative midfielder who was part of United's Milk Cup-winning squad in summer 2009. Twin brother Michael is also on United's books.

    Joshua McEachran (Chelsea) Midfielder Age: 17 Caps: 12. Stand out player of Chelsea's 2010 FA Youth Cup victory. Has travelled with the Blues first team this season.

    Ross Barkley (Everton) Midfielder Age: 16 Caps: 7. Goal-scoring midfielder looking to follow in the footsteps of Jack Rodwell at Goodison. Has also played up front for Everton's youth side.

    Benik Afobe (Arsenal) Forward Age: 17 Caps: 23. Made his debut for Arsenal reserves as a 16-year-old. Scored 11 goals in 13 appearances for the Gunners under 18s.

    Connor Wickham (Ipswich) Forward Age: 17 Caps: 10. Star striker, often compared to Wayne Rooney, who is gaining rave reviews and much attention from Premier League scouts for his displays for Ipswich, for whom he has scored six goals in 10 starts this season.

    Samuel Johnstone (Manchester United) Goalkeeper Age: 17 Caps: 14. Preston-born keeper who is tall, athletic and very agile. Regularly involved with England since his U16s debut, against Scotland, in November 2008.

    Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough) Defender Age: 17 Caps: 5. Left-sided defender who has overcome growth-related injury problems this season to establish himself in the Boro academy side.

    Tom Thorpe (Manchester United) Defender Age: 17 Caps: 7. Tall, athletic centre-back who has also played right-back. Composed on the ball and comfortable coming forward.

    George Thorne (West Brom) Midfielder Age: 17 Caps: 13. Central midfielder who became Albion's youngest league debutant in 49 years when making his debut from the bench in the Baggies' 4-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday on 28 November.

    Luke Williams (Middlesbrough) Midfielder Age: 16 Caps: 5. Attacking midfielder of forward. Became the youngest player to represent Boro since Tom Murray in 1905 via a substitute appearance against Barnsley on 28 November.

    Robert Hall (West Ham) Forward Age: 16 Caps: 16. Lightning-quick left-footed winger or forward who has scored six goals in 15 starts for West Ham's academy side this season.

    Saido Berahino (West Brom) Forward Age: 16 Caps: 12. Born and brought up in war-torn Burundi, but fled the country to join his mother, who was seeking asylum in England, five years ago. The prolific goalscorer, who broke into the Baggies reserve side last season, only spoke French when he first arrived in this country.

    meths | 22 May '14, 10:19 | X
    • in fairness, those players are now only 19-21

      and Butland, Berahino, Wickham and Barkley have all got to around the england setup, and a couple of others look pretty decent/are under 21 regulars

      Will Keane would've but for losing 18 months to injury. dunno what happened with McEachran. Garbutt and Wickham will probably be solid mid-table PL players.

      by all accounts 2014's team is playing much better than the 2010 team did as well.

      plus Patrick Roberts is the next big thing so..

        He's looked pretty dreadful for us. That said, we do tend to have this effect on many players so he could be good. But apart from his first 60 minutes he's been decidedly poor.

      (obviously he's not getting any wages at the moment, but could earn far far more if he hangs about for a mid-level Premier League job).

      Possibly Lambert if he doesn't last the summer at Villa. Larsson has been mentioned as well, but no idea if there's any truth in that at all.

      Don't dislike Lennon at all, think he's done a good job and had some great results (the 125th anniversary game against Barca will live long in the memory), but not especially gutted to see him go. Don't think he really wanted to be here a fair bit this season.

      Hope he does well at Norwich if he does go there, think he's a better manager than lots of people give him credit for.

                          (Apart from certain vultures) for them to go into administration/ liquidation again. Fans need to drop this fairytale idea about security and buy some fucking season books FFS.
                          Interesting legal question though as to whether this would be sevco's first insolvency, or whether the fact that the business was passed over means that this is actually a subsequent insolvency event. Ok, so it's not that interesting but it would have a bearing on points deductions and also the 'history' question. Hmm.

                    always helps and also having someone who the board/fans think have a chance of sticking around means they're more likely to actually give him some money to try and push on with the CL.

                    I reckon that's been the thing that's pushed Lennon to go, he met with the board a few weeks ago about possible signing targets for this summer and then two weeks later resigns, he's clearly been told he's getting a pittance/fuck all when we're in pretty good financial health

                    also i'd *much* rather any of those three before henrik

                    • but Celtic are about as stable as they come in world football

                      Guaranteed titles and Champions League group stages for years to come, in too much of a shitehouse league to attract any really big players, can't go up or down. Essentially anyone could do the job, as Lennon has pretty keenly proved

                          • much as it pains me to agree with farcy

                            he's right, we're not guaranteed the group stages in any year, and because of the co-efficient pish it's got the potential to get harder and harder

                            • Yeah, this.

                              If Lennon thought he could have a half-decent crack at Europe each year I don't think he would be leaving. As it is, he's forced by the club into selling any and all of the players he would like to keep, without the transfer fees being reimbursed. It's a near-impossible way to build a squad.

                              If the board gave him, say, £25m for summer transfers it's a safe bet that he'd stick around. Unfortunately the board are eager to push Forster, Van Dijk and any other saleable asset out the door as fast as possible (to join Hooper, Wanyama, Ledley, Samaras and other guys Lennon would've liked to keep), but they're only willing to replace them with a bunch of uproven duds at £1-3m.

                              Also, there's no way Moyes would take the Celtic job!

                                He'll want to stay out of the headlines for a while and quietly rebuild his reputation somewhere safe. He's unlikely to get a gig with anyone in the Premier League above West Brom currently, but once he's reminded people he's a safe pair of hands he'll be back with a midtable club in 3-4 years' time.

  • Bacary :(

    don't begrudge him the move, £120k p/w for 3 years is loads of money for a 32 year old. Wish he'd stayed on as back-up cb though. Wouldn't be surprised if that's what city want him for, he's surprisingly brilliant there and wins basically every aerial duel that's ever existed.

    In a way glad that we're getting a new rb though, Aurier seems pretty class and it'll be interesting to have someone who can act as a bit of a wing back.

    • Thought he'd just turned 31?

      Does seem like a hell of a lot of money to me, and for a player who i'll gladly say now i don't rate at all.

      He's probably worth £5m though, which is what the extra would be between the £90k a week deal Arsenal offered him and the £120k a week one the broadsheets are saying he's signing with us.

      Kinda makes sense if you consider his versitility, as you say. Can play backup to Zabaleta, could replace Clichy or Kolarov, fill in alongside Kompany if needed, or let either Kolarov or Zabaleta play in midfield.

  • Wouldn't it be a shame

    if Suarez wasn't fit to put in a blinding World Cup performance this year? If he could only muster up some half-strength attempts that didn't catch the eye of any Spanish scouts and come back to Melwood silently and without fanfare.

    If he's out, it genuinely changes my opinion on how far England can go (ie. they can get out the group).

      until a few games in and then i absolutely loved him. maybe i am a one of the fickle thousands. maybe his swashbuckling style can win round fans of any teams he represents. one thing you cannot question is his commitment.
