Well Everton have come out and said that it's all just rumour and they are still negotiating his contract but I think he would have signed by now if he was definitely wanting to stay. I won't hold it against him if he goes back to Spain, I know he's really happy here but family comes first.

I'm pretty sure I read that Moysey is interested in signing Stephen Ireland as well the other day.....

Indeed, if he was to go then the £15 million that the club may get for him will be useful to buy other players (still think you're short up front).

Yeah can see Man City letting a few go.

I heard Arteta was coming to Arsenal if we lost Fabregas. I'd be happy with that swap.

Never going to happen. Mikel has said he's really happy at Everton and living up North and the only way he'll uproot his family is to go back to Spain. Wenger has had his eye on him for a long while but nah, that's a dead end as far as I'm concerned.

The funniest rumour I heard was that Arsenal were interested in Kevin Doyle.

Yep, heard that too. Doyle is an excellent forward to have, but not for Arsenal. Couldn't see that working although you never know.

I think we need a clinical striker because Yak just hasn't been the same since his injury, but we have Beckford now who I have a good feeling about actually, if we play him as a pure goal poacher who basically sits up front then he could score a shed loads of goals. I personally think the Yak needs to go, he's lazy and not committed to the team imo but Moyes seems to want to keep him :/

Doyle is the kind of player we need. A bring strong old fashioned centre forward to give us some power in the box. I've always liked Kenwynne Jones. I'm surprised Wneger has never looked at him.

Doyle was brilliant for Wolves all season. Just a pity he was on such a dirt team, that's all.

Doyle actually spoke out about that in my local paper and said that it is flattering but it would never happen and that he's happy at the Molineux.

I'm pretty much sure he'd rather be at the Emirates than Molineux if given a real choice. It makes me laugh when players say things like that - 'No I dont want to play at the highest level in the Champions league I'd rather the hard slog of a relegation dog fight in front of moaning, booing fans'.

Definetly because the lure of winning trophies etc is tempting and playing in Europe. At least he is being realistic in saying that he would rather stay somewhere where he can develop as a player, get first team football and is happy rather than going somewhere to sit on the bench and not get much time to play at all...

If you give him time he'll do a good job but you guys are worse than England fans you want instant success.

Yes they are patient but it was in Rafa we trust and then when they lost he was the bad guy again, hard to keep up with LOL.

On the whole, nearly everyone was right behind Rafa, it was a minority that wanted him out

They were only patient with Rafa because he fluked a Champions league win and that meant they could lord it over Man Utd for a few years. For Liverpool fans to want the league given their mediocre squad is laughable. Other than Gerrard and Torres who have they got? Spurs, Man City have got strength in depth but Liverpool are too reliant on those two. Stephen Ireland cant get a game for Man city cuz of his attitude and it seems Harry doesnt like David Bentley so hardly ever plays him. Liverpool cant have that attitude with any of their better players cuz they've got no good back ups. And yet their fans still think they can win the league. Laughable.

Yes the majority were behind Rafa but tbh he did all he could and the backstage thing with the owners was a distraction..

He should have bought a striker when he sold Keane however he didn't, he got criticised for the players he bought when he spent over £200 million over a couple of years building up the team, although there is quite a few that flopped and are deadwood then those like Kuyt etc that impressed.

Man City can throw money at every player and whilst their fans are excited because they think they're reaching the big time or on the way to being an elite club which they have a long way to go to reach the giant teams, it's going to take ages for their players to establish bonds individually and as a team to gel..

Then they will have to deal with players unhappy at being rotated or not given time to play not much fist team football.

They're after Donovan as well now, well they can **** right off! Why would he want to go there, it's not like they even managed to reach the CL even with all the cash they splashed last season. They think they can flash their cheque book and get whoever they want, but like you said imo the only players in their right mind that would go there would purely be after the money, not the first team play because more than likely they won't get it! My most hated team in the whole PL.
