I do believe that Dyer does have something that would improve both the Chelsea and Liverpool teams, but not Manyoo or Arsenal because the attacking balance in their teams are perfect at the moment. He would also be at teams which wouldn't rely on him during every game, something that would suit him.

With regards to Milner, he is a very good premiership footballer, but his first touch isn't good enough for international level. Against good defenders, he is therefore unable to create enough time and space for himself. However, this applies for quite a few of our attacking players right now such as Lampard.

Oh my god, how weird did I go last night? I even named a 12 man team and didn't notice even after it was pointed out to me. Sorry people.

I would have to say Dyer. There is no other player who from a central position can connect the midfield to the attack at a rapid speed.

Would be between him and Robben. Dyer wouldn't be affected by this selection decision.

Wouldnt be enough space to effectively play one-touch football.

Individuals, not best adapted for a destructive team system.

Wouldn't be 4-6-1 though as there can be between 0 and 4 players up front at any one time.

Nope at Chelsea, with Dyer, I would field the following: Cech Ferreirra Terry Carvalho Cole Makelele Essien Lampard Cole Dyer Robben Drogba While if I could choose a team which is most destructive in the world (not best individuals, but most destructive) Buffon Back Four Gattusso Pirlo Kaka Ronaldo Dyer Robben Drogba

Dont think any of the players that played today are involved in Operacion Puerto.

They are wide players, not central players. Personally, I would say a team which fielded an attacking quartet of Drogba Robben Dyer Ronaldo would be the best attacking and most unstoppable quartet in the world, and the defence would not be compromised.

You mean lampard? Yeah I did, think Motson shouted Carrick so I typed it Ferdinand, I mean not Carrick.

Name another player who can scare Carles Puyol shitless by running forward through the centre from the midfield to the attack.

I'd totally overhaul the England side for a few matches. Foster G Neville Woodgate Ferdinand Bridge Lennon Barton Hargreaves Barry Dyer Rooney Keep Gerrard and Lampard out of the team for a while. Will make them more fired up to play for England long term in my opinion.

I'm saying that swapping Shevchenko for Dyer would be a good move for both teams.

A deal in my opinion which could benefit both clubs. Chelsea need a player who can bring some speed and fluidity linking the centre of midfield to both the strikers and the advanced wingers. Dyer is that man, and would be selected just behind Drogba, with Shevchenko making way. Then you get Schevchenko at Newcastle, one of the best strikers in the world, being allowed to play his natural game with support from Martins, Milner, Solano, Duff or N'Zogbia.

What could have happenned if Sven chose to play Dyer up front instead of Vassell vs Brazil in 2002?

I think Simon Jordan said that Shepherd once phoned him when he was trying to hang onto Johnson immediately after Palace's relegation, and told Jordan to stick with his stance of telling the other clubs to fuck off.

I have heard rumours in the past that Shepherd makes agreements with rivals not to bid above certain prices, but that he once apparently broke this promise when we tried to sign Rooney.

I hope this is true. I hope this is not true. Would rather Martins got banned for the rest of the season than have a sick mother (unless it's a cold of course).

In the end of the day, Shearer has won the Premiership and holds the record for the most Premier League goals. He is well in his right to criticise any player he likes, its not as if it is some small time player like Gavin Peacock who has been laying on the criticism.

Some of you really do not appreciate the full value of Stephen Carr's role at the club. He keeps Terry Mac happy by laughing at his jokes.

Problem with the stats though thinking about is that due to numerous simulataneous injuries, they cant prove whether it is down to that individual player being missing, or whether another player being on the pitch is bringing their win-ratio down. Offers more proof for who should play than who shouldn't play in my opinion.

Good work, must have taken a lot of effort. Celestine Babayaro 10 - 50% - 10% - 40% This backs up my claim that we play better with Baba in my team. He has his faults, but we are better going forward when he is on the pitch.
