Yaya Toure to Man City's been mentioned in these parts for weeks, though seems to have died off recently.

Yeah, but

1) He's not Obafemi Martins so he doesn't need the cash

2) He's a fat crock

3) It's the Aussie League so you're right.

Probably doesn't matter, cos he's unlikely to play for them anyway.

A few of my mates have signed for them, that's how shite they are.

Liverpool are among a number of clubs tracking Angers SCO's Bruno Ecuele Manga, according to the defender's agent.

The Gabonese is currently playing in the French second division, but Reds boss Rafa Benitez is said to have sent scouts to check on his progress.

Paris St Germain have also been linked with the 21-year-old, while Arsenal were credited with an interest at the beginning of 2009.

The former Bordeaux player's representative, Yvan Le Mee, believes a move is a possibility but he does not expect anything to happen until after the African Cup of Nations.

No concrete offers

Mee said in Le Quotidien du Foot: "I cannot give you a list of all the clubs that are interested in him.

"All the French clubs have come to see him, notably PSG, and a lot of foreign teams are also following him.

"(Liverpool scout) Laurent Viaud has often seen him playing. Liverpool have been following him since last season."

He added: "You never know, but I believe Bruno will not move in January as he will play in the African Cup of Nations.

"There have been no concrete offers so far. Realistically, there will be no news until March."

And the Golden Bear is back:

Former Germany and Bayern Munich manager Jurgen Klinsmann has remained tight-lipped over rumours that he is to replace Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez next summer.

The 108-time Germany international has long been linked with the Reds and the club's co-owner Tom Hicks has admitted holding talks in the past.

Benitez signed a new long-term contract before the start of the current season, but speculation has suggested that the ex-Valencia boss' almost five-year tenure could soon end.

Liverpool have been dumped out of the UEFA Champions League group stages and are off the pace in the Premier League, renewing speculation that Klinsmann could replace Benitez.

But the German said in Bild: "There are always rumours."

Klinsmann does not want to return to club management in Germany and has indicated that he could make a move abroad before next season.

He said: "For us it is relatively clear. We will not embark on another adventure in the Bundesliga.

"After the World Cup, I will possibly be somewhere else."

Klinsmann wont make it through the gates whilst im sniping on the roof!!

Viduka and Fowler are playing in Australia because they're not good enough, motivated enough or fit enough to play at a decent level here

Plus it's nicer weather, a lifestyle change (for God anyway) and they also clearly both want to carry on playing, not for the money, but because they still enjoy it

Nothing at all wrong with that

He's also the omnipresent force in the universe that has no need for material things.

Yes to both

Viduka's not playing anywhere Bren.

But *if* he was

We have bought 16 year old Kristian Gauti Emilsson from Iceland. He is 6 feet 4 inches and plays as an attacking midfielder.

He appears to have a two-toned left leg.

Our youth team will have higher average height than our first team. Ngoo, Saric, new kid, Ayala are pretty stretchy.

Don't expect Brendan to let facts get in the way of a point he's trying to make. He'll ban you.

And don't forget the young Ipswich version of Crouchy we are 'supposedly' after. Personally I think Rafa is just playing them all out of position for experience and that we will soon announce the LFC Basketball team.
