Central midfield

[Muddled]

Pretty much the reason why we have been linked with Matuidi for DM position, Adam as a playmaker and Hazard as AM

Those, and a few more aquistions in other important areas and it will be an excellent summer.

8 players of the 25 man squad must have spent 3 years in England or Wales and been registered with an English Club between the ages of 16 and 21.

As it stands (before any incoming transfers) take Shelvey and Spearing out of last years squad and we don't qualify.

The rule only limits the number of non-homegrown players to 17, you don't have to have 8 homegrown players, but your maximum squad size is reduced as there has to be 8 spaces available for home grown players. (For example you could have 17 non-home grown players and no homegrown players but you are stuck with a 17 man squad.)

The 1st half of this England match shows why we should keep well clear of Parker, he looks completely out of his depth. Mind you, all of them are playing ****.

I'd forgotten that there was an England game on, not that I'm bothered about England

I think it's tough to judge him on an England game at the end of a tough season. He's a good player, but I think taking in to consideration his age and injuries he's not somebody we should be interested in.

Can we have an embargo on calling Kenny 'KK', which is Kevin Keegan's tag?

King Kenny is fine but the abbreviated version is shabby and rubbish

[CJ]

two great players were KK and KK

do you think that KK was that good in retrospect?

[RichC]

I was in a restaurant last week and Kevin Keegan was sitting about 3 tables away, Bit of shock seeing him there!

[CJ]

i never thought KK was a mcdonalds type

did you "go large"?

[RichC]

ha ha it was a place in Chobham, Surrey - must live close by I guess.

he's a big lad these days I can certainly say that!

[CJ]

so he "went large"

[RichC]

he most certainly did :

[CJ]

did you have fries and a drink with it?

[RichC]

no fries I am afraid but certainly drinks!

[CJ]

did you have a shake?
