At Everton I would release Valente, Van der Mayde and Castillo and sign Boyd from Rangers, Hudlestone & Bentley from Spurs and maybe another centre half as cover.

Could get them three players for £20M.

Boyd and Huddlestone? Neither are David Moyes players IMO. Boyd's a lazy git, and Huddlestone had immense potential, but he doesn't use his physique enough, and doesn't dominate games enough.

Bentley is good, and could work out really well at Everton. Needs to get over himself a bit, though.

Quote from Galliani at Milan:

Hardly fills you with confidence if you're a Milan fan

Kaka needs to go. He needs to get out of his comfort zone and test himself elsewhere, I can't see Milan doing much in the future domestically or continentally.

Never a Premiership player.

He bangs them in for Gers often enough, a loan offer would be worth it.

Really fancy Barça for Champions League next year.
Change of power in France and Germany. Inter don't look anywhere near making a go of it in Europe.
We saw what happened to United and I'd be very surprised to see Madrid change so dramatically in the space of the summer.
Big rumours today that Forlan has turned down City in the hope of signing for the Camp Nou club.

Heard anything about Welbeck going to Hull City for on a season long loan next year?
Mate who supports them told me it's a done deal.
What's going to happen with Manucho?

Probably sign for a Portuguese or French club I reckon. Don't think he'll cut it over here from what I saw of him.

He was apparently bragging to people last month that if Hull stayed up, he'd be staying with them.

Should be fun to see if Brown can get out of that.

It was posted on the Hull board that City were taking Wellbeck on a year's loan for next season.

Indeed. Its going to be crazy summer of transfer dealings at the Bernabeu. Ronaldo, Kaka, Alonso, Villa, Silva and Ribery being talked about, and that's just for the bench.

Did you actually believe that post?

His goal scoring record is good, yes, when he is playing in the SPL against generally crap defences and he also gets more chances than most strikers do as he plays for one of the two top sides.

Whenever Rangers are playing in Europe against decent teams, Boyd rarely gets a start (if indeed a game) and it is this sporadic use at International level too that led him to spit the dummy out and claim that he does not want to play for his country again. (insert obvious Scotland joke here. )

Boyd's workrate is non existent and he would be lucky to get a game, never mind a goal in the PL. Moyes knows a player when he sees one, hence why Boyd will not be swapping the Blue of Rangers for the Blue of Everton.
