Smalling or Jones at right-back? Good luck.
What would you expect him to say? He hasn't even met the players yet.
No manager would make comments now. A poor performance would result in criticism - i.e. "he was more concerned with his next job than this one" - very bad move for a Dutch manager, managing the Dutch national team.
They were both shit against Uruguay. Unless he asked to sit i out, Rooney should feel justifiably pissed off at either of them starting ahead of him.

That's what happens when Hodgson decides to take only 1 right back, a pretty shite right back I should add.
Neither Jones nor Smalling should ever play right back for club or country, it's a stupid situation to be in. Hodgson deciding to take an extra midfielder over a suitable back up.
A contract until 2018 as well so it's definitely going to be an expensive buy for any club should they attempt to sign him.
Breaking News: BeIN sport are reporting Real Madrid have agreed a deal to sign Falcao and will be announced after the World Cup.
They were a lot of rumours last summer that this would happen. One season at Monaco followed by a move to Madrid.

For the life of me I cannot understand why manager after manager keeps insisting on using Smalling at right back. He's like the worst option there.
Oh yeaaah.
So is that them ruling out of Suarez signing or are they going to be greedy.
You've still got Barcelona to deal with.
Wouldn't surprise me.. hope he gets a good reception when he returns to play at OT.
Barcelona won't pay the release clause (whatever it is) I don't think.
Thought that might happen.
Course he will. He's a bit of a knob but he was one of the best defenders to play for United.
This will send the Shaw doubters crazy with those figures mentioned.
Thankfully it's the mirror.
Not my money
Barca are selling alot of players so im sure they will have cash to spend. Possible transfer embargo coming up so they will want to sign whoever they want imo
Any price quoted is going to sound ridiculously high.
But I'd guess that the prices quoted is a package price and we'd pay a lot less upfront with the remaining sums being paid out depending on appearances/trophies etc.

My general take on it as well.
I thought the deal with Shaw was agreed already for 27 million?
Clutching at straws but I'm sure Southampton settled transfer payment plans early with other clubs who ended up paying less overall in the end. I definitely know it happened with the Walcott deal where Arsenal agreed a payoff £3m less than the £15m structured deal.
So for pure financial reasons let's hope if we're getting him, Southampton end up desperate to settle the deal early and shave off a few million quid.
Thought a move to the MLS might be imminent for Rio admittedly. Perfect place for a player to spend his last days in professional football, while receiving a nice pay-check. Plus, there's plenty of media exposure which Ferdinand will probably have a future in once he hangs up his boots.
And that fee is very excessive for Shaw. I've always been of the opinion that 'it's not my money' and that position is one we need to significantly strengthen, so we may have to pay a premium. I imagine that's taken into consideration wages but if not, I would hope we pursue alternatives. We may need players urgently, but we still shouldn't be completely taken for ransom and their are viable and cheaper options just as good as Shaw like Rodriguez and Coentrao.

Don't really care about what the club pays but that's just crazy amounts
Less chance of that now Southampton are established in the PL and don't seem to have the financial troubles they had.
I'd guess that's the overall maximum value of the transfer if we win the CL three years in a row and Luke Shaw also becomes the WBO, UFC and WWF champion during the time here.
The Luke Shaw deal has crossed the borders of ridiculous.
I'm not an expert on their finances but didn't one of the new execs say they were in a difficult position when they took over roles in March?
Is he for real???
Ian Wright can feck off.
From what I know they still owe 25-30m in transfer fees from their previous turmoil but the club has restructured and set-up themselves up to be able to deal with it and ensure the same situation doesn't occur. The Shaw transfer will cover the debt and they have plans in place to ensure they won't be desperate for cash.
What is this in response to? What young player said they don't want to play for England?
On paper, probably not. RIght now on current form Sturridge can't hit a barn door.
He's already scored in the World Cup, hasn't he? Or am I mistaken?
