If Kinnear starts playing him or we get another manager in, I think he'll stay. Owen and Viduka will be off and Smith is likely to be deployed as a midfielder. He'd make a good foil for Martins.

LuaLua needs to be played. He's scored some brilliant goals and creates a lot too which is what we lack. He also plays in an area where we are weak which is an added bonus.

Aye, Viduka is never fit, i would expect him to leave in the Summer.

His contract's up and the club have so far said they're not offering him another year. He's the type of player holding us back.

I would imagine he will be on a decent contract too.

According to the BBC report Mancini isn't one of the managers contacted.

Decent? He's on an absolutely ludacris amount, especially coupled with his fitness record too.

Frank Rijkaard. Top appointment. Couldn't take the pressure at Barca. Had top form Ronaldinho, Messi and Deco. He's going to work so well in the Premier League.

Sadly, judging by the decisions Chelsea have been made under Abramovich, he might be a candidate, but he shouldn't be.

Frank Rijkaard Couldn't Take The Pressure I Don't Agree With That At All...
He Did Have Top Form Ronaldinho & Deco Yes And Both Were Players He Brought To The Club And Got The Best Out Of Aswell, See Also Samuel Eto'o...
He Was Also The First Barcelona Coach To Have Won Twice At The Santiago Bernabéu...
His Barcelona Record Wasn't Too Bad Either:
UEFA Champions League: 2005/2006
La Liga Championship: 2004/2005, 2005/2006
Spanish Supercup: 2005, 2006

Spot on. It raises the question would Rafa have gone if Pompey had beaten Liverpool?

I think it was reported to be £70,000 per week.
