    Richards will never drop his 80-90k wages.

    Arsenal don't buy players over the age of 18 ;)

    How would you describe Morgan's role in our team? Is he a defensive midfielder, holding midfielder...?

    He'll still be overpaid if he took a pay cut :)

    I expect Welbeck will see who takes over united before making any decisions. Being mainly on the united bench has not affected his world cup chances. I believe he is a local lad and probably a united fan so leaving would not be easy and United would probably like to keep him.

    As for Saints; the wages of players coming from Big clubs could be a stumbling block for us, but I believe we should hold firm. If a player is willing to take a pay cut then thats a good sign of his future commitment to the team and desire to play football

    Everton reportedly interested in Corkie.

    FLT - I can't blame Everton, I would be astonished if we didn't offer Corkie an improved extended contract as he has been our outstanding and most consistent midfield performer

    Footballers don't age like we do....they stay at a club for ever and yet mysteriously are always 25...eg. Schneiderlin

    LTL - he might not be the "greatest" but would make a very good replacement for Gareth Barry at a fraction of the cost

    Hooray..! Someone else who has been living in a time warp like me. :)

    I have exactly the same feeling, Dan.

    surely Everton will just sign Barry, City will offload cheaply but will need to take a pay cut

    I think Barry's contract is up this summer. He's 33 though so they may want a younger guy.

    Never noticed that before. To expand it, they are under 20 for years, 25 for a decade then suddenly they are over 30.

    I may choose to age like that. Sadly, I'd need a supernova-powered timewarp to go that far back...

    With how Barry's been this year, I think it'd be a good idea to stick with him for a couple more seasons.

    City could do with him back. He's certainly more effective than Javi Garcia.
