Di Marzio (credible journalist) has said that Matuidi's agent has been offering him to English clubs.

Not sure if this is just a ploy to get PSG to make a decent contract offer.
 
He's alright and he's better than our current crop of wingers - but I just have this suspicion when it comes to Italians lol playing in the PL.

If we want a winger, then Kono is the man.

For me, he is better than alright but I too share the worry about the Italians in the prem, very few and far between. Think Zola is one of the only ones to really put his stamp on the league. Possibly
 
Think Borrell could be more that tapping up by City with the ex Barca men there as DOF.
 
Might be good to have that sort of player on the bench though (not saying Morgan is the answer but that type would be a bonus). Every time I look at our bench I can't see where the goals could come from.

Be a shame to see him go but the kid just hasn't been able to kick on. Hope he gets a chance elsewhere and first team footy helps him develop. If we do let him go on a free does that mean we have no say as to buy back/sell on clauses etc? Did we let Ince go to Blackpool for free or was there a compensation deal?

A bit like Hernandez for United. I think he's a better player than just a "fox in the box" to come off the bench, but he's the exact type of player we've been missing for years. That player that doesn't necessarily get overly involved in the build up play (although Hernandez can) but give him 2 chances in the penalty area and 90% of the time he'll score 1 of them.

Hernandez is obviously a better finisher and has much more to his all round game than Morgan but he also has that bit of pace that Morgan is missing.
 
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers dismisses Will Hughes link

Manager Brendan Rodgers has quashed speculation linking Derby midfielder Will Hughes with a move to Liverpool.
The Reds have been heavily linked with the 18-year-old midfielder, who has hugely impressed Rodgers.

"I read we had put in a bid or something had been agreed but there has been nothing," said the Liverpool boss.

"I think he is a wonderful young talent who just needs to play football and for me he is probably at the best place he could be."

He added: "I don't normally comment on speculation but [I will] because I have the interest of the player at heart."

Hughes, who came through the ranks at Derby, scored in England U21's 9-0 win over San Marino in midweek.

"This is a very talented young player that either a person or a group of people aren't doing him any favours whatsoever by constantly linking him with coming to Liverpool," said Rodgers.

"This is a young kid learning the game - he is at an outstanding club at Derby, he has a great manager there and we sent one of our young players [Andre Wisdom] there to develop and learn."

Hughes, who joined the Rams from local rivals Nottingham Forest at the age of 12, made his first team debut in November 2011 as a 16-year-old.

So far this season he has made 18 appearances for the Championship side, scoring four goals.

So no Hughes or trying to throw the press off?
