Thanjk you.

We've been linked with about half of them. So it's not surprising everyone else is too.
Had to stop after this...
Wayne Rooney
Age: 27
Club: Manchester United Approx value (source: transfermarkt.com): £57m
Profile: There appears to be some dispute regarding whether or not the striker has asked to leave Manchester United, with recently departed manager Sir Alex Ferguson claiming he did while Rooney insists he did not. Either way, the player's time at Old Trafford appears like it may be drawing to an end, with a shock switch to Arsenal even mooted recently
If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?
I didn't read any of it. I just wanted to see if Reina was on there too.
No mention either of Wheat, Chaff, Blades, Dad, Locker, Merge, Castigate...
. Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
The rumour about Southampton is that they are being sponsored for £100m a season by the Leibherr family to get around any FFP ruling to help them spend money.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger plans stunning swoop for Wayne Rooney and Cesc Fabregas
Arsene Wenger has opened the door for Arsenal to make a shock swoop for unsettled duo Wayne Rooney and Cesc Fabregas
Speaking to Al Jazeera, the French manager spoke of his admiration for both players and made clear he was monitoring the situations at both of the players' respective clubs.
Rooney, who scored for England against Brazil last night, asked for a transfer shortly before the conclusion of the domestic season. The departure of Alex Ferguson has changed the landscape somewhat, although the 27-year-old's intentions remain unclear.
Wenger, who once claimed Rooney was the most talented English player he had seen, admitted he may not be able to resist a move for the former Everton player.
"Rooney could be an interesting player for everybody in the world, who would turn him down?
"David Moyes' first challenge is to go in to Manchester and bridge the gap between him and Rooney. If that is feasible or not depends on his personality and if Rooney bears a grudge or not, we will see.
"It will be interesting to see how that will be handled," added Wenger.
Arsenal fans would revel in such a move in light of United's capture of their best player, Robin van Persie, last summer.
There has also been talk of a return to the Emirates for Cesc Fabregas, a player Arsenal have first option on should Barcelona be willing to sell the midfielder.
Wenger revealed the former Gunners captain is unsettled at the Nou Camp before going on to praise the Spain international.
"I think at the moment he's lacking the confidence of being a regular player," said Wenger. "Recently he has not been that.
"Cesc is such a passionate player, a player of such quality, that it must hurt him not to play in every single game. That's what he misses. When you come in and out you never play with full confidence."
Arsenal are expected to be one of the biggest players in this summer's transfer window with a huge war chest understood to be at Wenger's disposal.
This £17m (+ add ons) fee for Jesus Navas City are reported to be paying seems massively excessive. I know he's a talent, but even ignoring the home sickness issues, he's scored zero goals last season.
I think he'll be another disappointing signing for them personally.
Sid Lowe in the Guardian suggests that a/ he is now over the homesickness thing and b/ he was playing more of a play maker role last season. Not sure how much that would impact his scoring but it could do - he was never more than a 5 or so a season type player any way.

-- William Blake
However you want to dress it up, zero goals is a **** return. I think he is a decent player and this move will be good for him, though there are quite fairly some big question marks.

Think he'll be the flop of the season. Never been convinced by him really.
