Was wondering why the hell France didn't have Benzema or Nasri...

I see Gallas is at it now, laying the entire blame squarely on Domenech's shoulders. My favourite line is, "The real problem was the coach. I was not good, we were not good. But the coach was not good either." So basically you've contradicted yourself entirely there Gallas you tool..... everybody was "not good" but no, it's all the coaches fault.

Yeah and apparently he was jealous before because Evra become captain:rolleyes:.

Yeah, but I think Evra started the revolt, right? He should be ashamed of himself too.

Indeed, however reading what went on I hope he doesn't play for them again:D.

Yep, it'll be very interesting to see how Laurent Blanc deals with all this drama, and how is first team selection will shape up. I'd drop so many of them, especially the older lot who were obviously the leaders of the whole thing.

Everton midfielder Dan Gosling has left the club and is available on a free transfer after a contract error.

The Premier League were asked to make a ruling after the England Under 21 prospect was not given a new contract offer in writing.

Everton claimed they offered Gosling a new deal verbally, but nothing was sent to him in writing by the due date.

The Premier League have now ruled Gosling is free to move on as Everton did not make a written contract offer.

As revealed by skysports.com last week Newcastle are leading the chase for the versatile star, with Sunderland and West Ham also in the hunt for Gosling's signature.

Gosling will miss the start of the new season as he is currently recovering from a serious knee injury, but it seems he will be at a new club next term.



****ing pathetic that due to a admin error that we've just lost a potential £4 million. Good luck to Dan wherever he ends up, I think he's got a good future ahead of him.

But he never said it was all the coach from what you quoted.

The coach was the real problem sounds like there could be other factors in that gallas, yes of course i was not good the squad was not good..

Seems sorta how it would have went with the reporter to me..

Least we know blanc wouldnt leave gourcuff out in the most important match. Old coach was ****e lol.

That bit was just hilarious considering that he was trying to attach all the blame on Domenech throughout the whole article. And it's not just one article, he's been quoted in numerous papers. The lad's a fool. Found it hilarious.

There will be lots of transfer activity once the WC final is done:D.

United linked with Wesley Sneijder LOL.

Hope we can bring in Tasci from Stuttgart, then we'll have really good young CB's in Vermaelen, Tasci and Koscielny

Mark Hudson leads the sprint

Standard Liege forward Milan Jovanovic will join Liverpool on a free transfer in the summer, the Belgian club have confirmed to BBC Sport.

The 28-year-old had been linked with AC Milan, Juventus and Valencia.

But he told Belgian newspaper Sporza: "We have reached an agreement for three years, with the option to extend with another season.

"I opted to sign for Liverpool because they're one of the biggest teams in Europe - definitely in the top 10."

Jovanovic joined Standard in 2006 and helped them win back-to-back titles in 2007-08 and 2008-09, while he has scored 12 goals in 23 games to date this season.

The striker, who rejected a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid last year fearing he would not be a regular first-team choice, added: "I'm absolutely delighted that the deal is completed.

"From now on, I can focus on Standard Liege again. I want to leave the club in a good way."

Jovanovic, who has also played for Shakhtar Donetsk and Lokomotiv Moscow, made his international debut for Serbia in a 2-0 win over Finland in June 2007.

Finally that's confirmed. He played decent at the World Cup and has a good scoring record for Standard Liege, will hopefully continue that way for us.

Can people please post transfer news and shizz in the thread Ben made ages ago and Nathan bumped the other night?

Gets on my tits having to trawl through pages of (mainly Ben's lol) daily transfer news in here :laugh:

West Ham should get the message.. Graham Dorrans will NOT be leaving West Brom:nono::D (I hope).

Going to Villa vs Valencia on the 6th august then Villa vs West Ham on the first day of the season

what a horrible training kit

Sponsor is ridicolous

Ooooh the colour is nice though Nathan!

Our new training kit is lush, I'll post some pics later.

I like the top, not the sponsor:D.

Can't believe whats happened with Gosling:shocked:.

Yeah I know, it's pathetic. Apparently the 15k a week offer was made to him verbally but not put in writing by the deadline, stupid, stupid, stupid. Plus the fact that we now can't get any money for him, like we're not already short of cash.

Some Everton fans are being arsey about him now saying he was **** etc, just because he's leaving, it's not about the money he wants more first team play...can't blame the lad for that really, although it would be nice for him to have a bit more patience, Rodwell is a far superior player and even he doesn't get much at the moment. Plus Dan is still injured and not expected to be fit for another 4 months. Ah well.

Look at that man ladies

John Heitinga has declared he is "proud to be an Evertonian" as he prepares for the 2010 World Cup final on Sunday.

The Dutch defender is in line to become the first Everton player to grace a World Cup final for 44 years – second only to Ray Wilson who started for England against West Germany in 1966.

Ahead of his first tournament final, the Blues centre-back has delivered a message of thanks to the Club and the fans, highlighting his first season with the Toffees as a key factor in his international success.

“It is a great club and I am playing in a World Cup Final as an Evertonian,” said Heitinga.

“The Premier League has made me a much better player. Coming from Spain to England has helped me so much and Everton have assisted with that.

“The fans were very good to me last season. We struck up a good relationship. I have signed a five-year contract and I am proud to play for Everton.”

Heitinga has played every minute of his homeland's campaign in South Africa so far, and if the Dutch were to lift the prestigious trophy this weekend, they will equal Brazil's 100 per cent record of victories achieved in a World Cup tournament.

Spain were confirmed as Holland's final opponents on Wednesday evening after a stunning 73-minute header from Carles Puyol clinched victory over Germany in Durban. Heitinga is still confident however that his country will create their own piece of World Cup history on Sunday.

“We have won all six games here and that is a big victory for the players because we are writing history now,” Heitinga added.

“We just concentrated on doing it on the pitch and the fact that we arrived in the World Cup Final shows we did a good job.

“Of course, the final will be difficult, but we are determined to complete the journey.



Ohhhhhhhh Johnny Johnny! :worship:
