It doesn't, no, but it has a lot more behind it.

Not really, it's still a pinch of salt rumour IMO. Even if Manucho is going round saying he'll be staying on, that doesn't make it the case. I reckon Marlon King was probably telling people similar until christmas.

Maybe in your opinion but not in mine, could be Manucho sputing rubbish.

He doesn't need to be in the know, all it takes is for Manucho to talk to him in training.

Appartently Wolves and Stoke are chasing Manucho so hopefully they will sign him and we will sign Welbeck . Would be a good move for us, Welbeck and Man Utd if he comes to us as he wont play much at Man Utd next season and playing regular PL football he will only get better

God this is depressing.

Football is over and all we've to look forwards to is a few qualifiers for a tournament that England is already pretty much qualified for and B.S. press rumours about signings for a few months.

I'll be so bored I'll actually watch Masters football to plug the gap. I just know it.

England U19's vs Scotland U19's on Setanta tonight.

Personal interest for me anyway, with Nile Ranger and Bradden Inman turning out.

We've only got until next month before all the various pre season tournaments start. There is always a debate about whether there should be a winter break or not but there should be a proper summer break, never mind a winter one.

What about the mighty Kazakhstan, and the likely appearance of the Golden Boys, Beckham and Nevile? Rumour has it they are playing a tortoise on the left wing, to kill them with it's pace.

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.

Been training with Blackburn already mate. Apprently he was quoted in papers as saying he hates Moyes for ruining his career, apprently he called him an "evil man"

Castillo only on loan so I would expect him to go back but Jacobsen will possibly be kept on.
