this coming close season. . .

[Stevie H]

is the first for a while where we've not had the worry about a key player jumping the ship isn't it? two seasons of gerrard will he / won't he soap opera nonsense, the owen silliness. . . .is anyone remotely concerned that we're going to lose a key player in a shock transfer this summer? arsenal are sweating over henry and even fabregas to a degree, mancs are probably going to ship van nistelrooy and even chelsea have a bit of uncertainty over lampard. isn't it nice to be looking at a close-season positively for a change?

It's still early yet....

[baja the hut]

I hope it doesnt come back and bite us in the ass (this cool confidence)

[Runehammer]

The 2006 England tap-up festival starts next month!

[Stevie H]

thinking more about the press focus on our squad really. . . .there doesn't seem to be the urge to destabilise our squad as previously, primarily i guess because it's clear that rafa's taking us very swiftly in the right direction. under-achieving isn't a tag that can be thrown at us so readily any more.

We've already had Gerrard for Juve and Gerrard for Madrid.

 

There's also the Real Madrid elections which will see th likes of Adriano, Henry and Gerrard dragged in as voting incentives.

everyone knows that they're a load of old bolllocks though really don't they? don't think madrid as a club has the allure it had a few seasons ago.

Yes but the first one was laughable and Real are a joke of a club

I just hope all the vultures stay away from Djimi

 

His agent better keep his mobile turned off this summer

That's fine - we don't want him eaten alive...

 

But what about clubs?

Wait til Alonso starts pinging the ball over the place in Germany.

Can't wait...come on Espana!

It's long term injuries in the WC rather than players leaving that I'm worried about

[Guest redmilky]

The papers will sell themselves on world cup stuff this summer so should be a bit quieter i think.

[Gunga Din]

i reckon you will see an unsettling story or two at the end of this week, in an attempt to unsettle the sqaud before the cup final

it wasn't a press effort it's because gerrard and owen wanted to leave

something you have heard about ? or just making assumptions about the nature of our 'lovely' national press?
