Elephant

Iraq is current Asian champions.

RIP sir Bobby. True legend, you will be remembered!

Jari Litmanen? Correctomundo!

Nope. To Mike: Roberto Mancini?

I'm one of the greatest players on 90's and key member of a club that dominated Europe in mid-90's. After this succes I had unsuccesful spells with two big clubs and after few stops I have now returned to my roots. I have over 100 caps for my nation and I have played in six different leagues. There are two clubs that I have returned (played for them twice) and the other one is my current club. Who am I?

Don't forget Mourinho, Deco, Paulo Ferreira, Maniche, Costinha, Seitaridis, Postiga, Anderson.. All with huge profits. They won the Champions League and got huge profits from that too. Still don't see them spending money much.

what can you tell us about the other two? i'm sure there's plenty of foreign players who could come in and do a job in the championship, so hopefully the likes of vetere have been looking for them. Raitala had a trial with Newcastle on January, but Newcastle (and other teams) wanted to wait until summer to get him cheaper (his contract was expiring in December, but he has signed new contract now). He can play on any position in defence, but he prefers playing as left-back. Turning 21 years in September, he has been in HJK's first team since 2007 and is very promising talent. He is very quick and solid defensively, but not the greatest going up. He will be playing in U21 European Championship next month and will be monitored by many teams (latest to show interest is PSV Eindhoven, also many clubs from Germany have been after him). He wants to make a smart move (somewhere where he can play week in, week out, so Newcastle has a chance). Matumona is not the youngest player anymore (born 1981), and hasn't really shined the way he should've been. He had a succesful trial with Birmingham last summer, but for some reason it never happened. He still can produce something magical and I believe that in right circumstances he has a chance to be a star. Very skillful player with good vision, plays as right-winger for Congo (don't know about Brussels). Small and quick. I really liked him with Congo and I would be ready to give him a chance. Shelvey will be a star, he is easily one of the best midfielders in Championship, too bad he has played for such a poor side (Charlton). He could make it in Premiership easily, but hopefully we could have a chance to sign him. Will definately leave Charlton in summer, but question is who gets him?

Jonjo Shelvey (Charlton) Jukka Raitala (HJK) Zola Matumona (FC Brussels)

Given was a match-winning goalkeeper, Harper is not.

Raitala is really really promising young defender, who can play on every position on the back four, but has been playing mainly as a right-back in HJK. Very quick and very ambitious player. He is though very keen on staying in Helsinki as he wants to be playing regularly to get to the Finnish U21 squad for the European Championship.

Saw Jonjo Shelvey (Charlton) last season and I was really impressed. I never knew he was only 16 and by the way he played, it never looked that way. Real talent.

Really hope he will banned for the rest of the season. Just to show that you simply can't do things like that in football. Stupid cunt.

Guthrie is just absolute asshole, can't say anything else. Guthrie and Barton - what a joy of absolute STUPIDITY in our midfield. Guthrie just isn't professional, if he does things like that.

I can really see Ashley selling the club after this farce. Probably gone within next few monts.. Hopefully to someone who actually can control the club (that was not against Ashley, but meaning to no no-brain billionaire).

Knowing him, he would probably win us the title.

He deserves some of the blame tbf Some of it - maybe. But not all the blame. Because the situation had to be really extreme for him to jump out of the ship at this point.

The club is clearly putting the blame on Keegan - do they really think that fans are that stupid to buy that?!

Bilic, Marcelino, Deschamps.. someone with vision, new ideas. Someone who will bring the club to next level. So no British, thank you.

Question is that can you really see Keegan staying after all this? There's obviously lots of things wrong - and those problems won't be fixed overnight. We'll see.

If Peter Crouch is worth £10M, surely Arshavin is worth £20M

He has plenty of that back home aswell The guy in naturally cursed.. Second year he won four silvers.. Back in 2002 he was second in Bundesliga, German Cup, Champions League and World Cup. Now with Premier League, League Cup (?), Champions League and European Championship. That's really something.

Due to thunder storm in Vienna, nothing is broadcasted from Basel now.

Well it also says on wiki that: "He has agreed on a three-year deal with Newcastle United F.C. on June 22, 2008 and will be unveiled on July 1, 2008, along with Ronaldinho, Andrei Arshavin and Frank Lampard. This is from reports very close to Chamakh. Also he has also said to the media in France that he has agreed a deal and all that stands in the way is a medical."

More like £10M + Ronaldo to Barcelona.

Ready for Serie A as it seems.
