Wasn't there talk of him turning down the Liverpool job in the summer cos he won't have much say in the direction the club is going? Doubt he will fancy getting it here either with those clowns. Not to mention Whelan possibly making it as hard as possible for Ashley to get him.

He is in the PL squad. If there is any vacant spot(s) at the time of list submission, he will have to be in. That's how the issue arrived with Owen signing for Stoke.

Of course you can. Retire from international by making yourself unavailable for selection. Technically you can't. They can still demand that you turn up, and if you don't, invoke shit like the 5-days rule. Think France did it with Makelele even when he was 'officially retired', forcing him to come back. Whether you want an unhappy player sitting on the bench of playing at the expense of another committed player is another story though.

Would have been class if he wore 23 instead of 18. You just wonder how many more caps he will earn. Don't think he's in with a serious shout for a ACoN spot either.

Does he regularly do that?

Time to change thread title to Shola the Super Eagle.

How did Cisse's golazo against Chelsea not get in?

My bad, he does.

I think with Holloway he will get this. Too bad he has gone to Crystal Palace then.

He's asthmatic. That explains his constant grasping for breath during matches then. And not hard to surpass Shola tbf.

LM thinking 'Boss, let's celebrate together.' AVB 'Gerraway!'

Xisse HA!

We might lose him for ACoN.

Bet that at the end of 5 years, he won't even have 100k left.

£3,500 per week? I feel better already. Thought he was closer to 10k per week.

I remember someone mentioning Mirallas as an option in the summer. Should have gone for him then, 5m is within our range and he can easily play the problematic left wing along with other positions. Has started well in the Premier League. Our 'loss' is Everton's gain.

The right decision. They will only add on one more match to the ban.

In the ten man shortlist for African Footballer of the Year. Alexandre Song (Cameroon), Andre Ayew (Ghana), Christopher Katongo (Zambia), Demba Ba (Senegal), Didier Drogba (Cote D'Ivoire), Gervinho (Cote D'Ivoire), John Obi Mikel (Nigeria), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon), Yaya Toure (Cote D'Ivoire), Younes Belhanda, (Morocco).

Anita played with Suarez at Ajax, didn't he? Hope he has an advantage in handling him.

The understanding between players is sadly lacking now. We used to have Enrique/Jonas/Colo and Barton/Nolan/Carroll. Currently we might have more talented players but I don't particularly see any effective partnership anywhere on the pitch. Would love to have Enrique back for this reason and to add much needed width ('right' foot) to our system considering we play 442 mostly. Santon can adapt to the right given time and yes, a potential link-up with Ben Arfa.

Where's Disco?

His contract ends in 2014 anyway so would have thought either this winter / next summer would be the right time to negotiate new terms or sell him.

WTF! Not the tallest of central defenders at 173 cm either.

Those legs won't be able to support a big frame. Over-bulking could only lead to injuries.
