    Linked to Juan Verdu again, but can't see that. Lazy journo I think.

    Wouldn't surprise me. He is Real. Betis' top earner and they've just been relegated.

    He's 31 and not sure if we'd go for that. Anyone know how good he is?

    I can't find a suitable thread but has anyone considered what might have been, if Nickle-*ss had signed good alternatives to Osvaldo, Ramirez and Mayuka?
    6th or much better?

    I don't know there's much point. I think most teams could get something going on "what if every player we signed was a great success".

    Forgot about Mayuka. I wonder if he has improved sufficiently to come back into the fold and play a part next season.

    Shame, I was hoping to see a front three of Mayuka, he had the pace to really attack defenders. I guess it doesn't mean a lot if you can't kick the thing properly.

    Interesting point was that they said it helped coming from a footballing family. It's like children of actors becoming actors, probably partly genetic, partly you become serious about it at an early age, and partly it's easier to get in somewhere...a case of who you know rather than what you know. However, after a good start in a football career, you still have to be good enough. Nothing sadder than a so-so player trying to follow in his father's footsteps.

    Djibril Cisse's son recently snubbed Man Utd in order to join Crewe. Sounds like a smart kid.

    Niall Mason made the news because he was spotted as a child when his family were on holiday. They subsequently moved to Spain when he was taken up by Real Madrid...they must have really liked him to pay for the family to move out there. It was all over the papers at the time. He was there a few years, but returned and we signed him.
