Jan transfer news 2012

Belgium have got a real collection of young talent at the moment.

They do but I think I'm right in thinking none of their attacking talent has been proven at the highest level yet.

There is no doubt that players like De Bruyne and Hazard will punish you if they are given time and space but could they still produce this at a quicker, more physical level? Personally I'd say yes as quality always shines through.

You're right, they haven't. They are so young still though, not sure any of them have really had much of a chance to shine at the highest level yet. Be interesting to see how they get on over the next few years.

We should have a sweepstake on how many helicopters are scrambled, or how many times he takes a call on his mobile. I'm guessing there is already a drinking game in place, making you neck two fingers every time you hear 'just in' or 'breaking'.

... or mebbe not.

This season is the first of the 3 years assessment period in which teams have to meet the financial fair play rules. Although it's worth noting that the assessment period is 3 years not one, so you can spend big in one year as long as it's offset in the other 2 years
