Arsenal line up Italian ace; Spurs make Elmander move; Liverpool star starts war

Totally agree with you, Gerrard is an England man through and through, get rid of McClaren the clown!

Here's your starter for 10: Lazio striker, 29 year-old Tomasso Rocchi is out of contract. The Lazio starter signed on August 31st 2004 from Empoli on a three year deal for an undiclosed fee. Rocchi has been waiting three months to talk with Lazio chairman Claudio Lotito, but nothing has happened, and Rocchi has now gone public. The resignation-cum-sacking of Lazio football director Walter Sabatini over the weekend / Monday for putative failures in the transfer market is of note. Rocchi, who was benched in the 62nd minute in Lazio's last game against Sampdoria has scored 47 goals in 112 appearances for Lazio and claims he wants to stay in Rome (multiple sources).

But wait, there's less: 62 is exactly the number of minutes City target, Palermo's Mark Bresciano, has played in the last two games for the Sicilian side. It's an omen! Bresciano, has only been on the bench seven times in two years prior to this Serie A season. Clearly he is beeing frozen out, especially after the arrival of Catania carbon-copy, Caserta. (multiple sources)Bresciano to Maine Road in January. SGE will get his man eventually.

forget steven gerrard and his broken toe start with jenas hes just as good

i dont reakon we will get elmander - wouldnt bother me either way - if he does arrive it would pretty much see the end of Defoe - pointless wasting defoe on the bench may aswell cash in and get a cheaper player with less expectation of first team. my french mate says it is harsh to judge him after champ league as toulouse were very under strength and realistically no were near as good as liverpool

Yeah "come on you spurs" How can you ever compare Jenas to Gerrard. Maybe if they were thinking of playing Gerrard with a broken foot it is only then that i would have agreed with you.

Sorry, for a minute there I thought you meant that Jenas was as good as Steve G.......... What!?!....... You did say that!?! Oh I get it, it's a joke....... Right???

LOL. Okay, last season Caserta scored six times for Palermo rivals Catania; Bresciano scored six times for Palermo. BTW Mark, do you know if anyone has done an (economic) analysis of the transfer rules in Europe, e.g. the windows, rules, hoops to jump through actually cause prices to rise and encourage the use of agents: overall, not exactly a free market by any stretch is it?

Oh, here is some news about injured City striker Bojinov. I was getting really frustated by the lack of news. Back on August 2Oth I did some digging around and cam up with the name,address, phone number of the surgeon who'd be working on his knee: smart fella, this surgeon...well, yesterday I rolled the dice and called him at the University of Rome, guess what? Well, I had the wrong extension and got through to some professor of genetics, who passed me over, and he spoke to me.

I love spurs with a passion that is boardering on obsession, and I know that Jenas isn't fit to lace the boots of Gerard and quite frankly is even behind The Hudd in spurs squad now.

This is a summary, his (Dr. Paulo Mariani) words are in quotation marks: The surgery went well, the prognosis is complete recovery. I asked (given my own experience) whether the knee would be stronger after than before. He said it is a good possibility and "I cross my fingers"...as scar tissue is often tougher than the original tissue. I asked him what the injury was precisely, he said "complete rupture of the ACL with damage to the post-lateral corner" which he said was "a bad combination usually." He told me he (Bojinov) was doing basic therapy in "his apartment", that next week he will be doing "flexwork" and the week after "running." Just FYI.

I dunno. Jenas with two good feet might be as good as Stevie G with one.

come on you spurs

I think Jenas is as good as hargrieves not gerrard

jenas is a class act.

lol and what contribution will we see from you guys???? read them out!!

@ scooch, and what contribution will we see from you guys???? read them out!!

Jermaine jenas isn't fit to wear the england shirt. I think he is a terrible player and with the likes of him, dyer and downing in the squad, england will never progress on the international stage, give some of the under 21's a chance Mclaren you tw@t!!!

Jenas is only good on the Mobile Phone. (Ashley's Boyfriend) Shouldn't enev be in the squad.
