You only name players over 21. If that helps?

Great transfer window for Dalglish managed to do the impossible. Got rid of one of Rafa's failures and also managed to sign one.

Love Keith Curle's two to watch. Watch them do what exactly?
And I'd forgotten Terry Phelan was the best left back in the world.

Not sure that these squads mean a great deal. City have a 23 man group that Mancini clearly regards has his main squad. The official 24 man squad includes 3 players (Nielsen, Onuhua & Bridge) that will only play in emergencies and exludes two players (Savic & Balotelli) because of their age.

I know someone posted that the new Everton forward wasnt any good but South American football scribe Euan Marshall thinks differently.

On the last day of what was a rather quiet transfer window for David Moyes, the Toffees secured a season-long loan deal for 23 year-old Argentine forward Denis Stracqualursi. Last season’s top scorer in the Argentine Primera Division at bottom-half club Tigre, Stracqualursi gained a lot of admirers in South America with his relentless finishing. This particular move came as a bit of a surprise, but Everton may well have brought in a gem.
6'3"-tall and built like a brick house, Stracqualursi is your archetypal number 9. He is a great reference point in attack, as he is excellent in the air and superb at getting on the end of crosses. Additionally he has great awareness in the penalty area, he always seems to know where the goal is and he strikes the ball well too.
At 23 years-old and without any experience outside of Argentina or in continental competitions, he is still very raw and his skills will need some polishing if he is going to be a relevant European goalscorer. A loan with the option to buy represents minimal risk for Everton as if he does not come off he will return to Argentina at the end of the year. However, if he hits the ground running Everton could have a real star on their hands.

Yup, we'll be lucky to see Denis from the start I'll admit. What is Saha up to these days? How come he didn't start the first games? Injured or just not preferred?

Not preferred to start with, was on the bench against QPR but was injured last week at Blackburn so wasn't in the Sheff Utd squad or Blackburn. Hopefully he'll he be back for Villa or Wigan.

Only the over 21's I think it is mate so all the younger lads can be played anyway, named 18 but then add the likes of Barkley, Baxter, Rodwell etc there's a few numbers.

Cheers, mate. I'm glad someone has some better news to post for us, I'm looking forward to seeing what this lad can do and hopefully Drenthe still has some of his pace about him
