Welbeck ahead of Defoe is just wrong.

In what way predictable? There aren't that many alternatives. Care to give us your 23?..

Yep, I agree a proven goal scorer for many seasons

Welbeck's international caps/goal ratio is actually better then Defoe's...2.6 v 2.9

[Otta]

Welbeck ahead of anyone is wrong in my book, just don't rate him.

What about Kieran Gibbs? Surely he deserves to at least be on the standby list

Nah- it's the one area we have genuine strength.

And in 1990...low expectations after Euro 1988 and guess what, a semi final - but then they had Gazza in 1990 (and in 96 too)

What the league table would look like if only English goals were allowed. Look who gets relegated.

Ferdinand to leave United and find a new club.

[El Pibe]

there are many ex hammers id be delighted to see return, but there's something rather unsavoury about ferdinand.

Unlucky, it's Tim Sherwood... :)

Spoken like a true Sperz fan. He's been decent this eason and should have been on the stand by list.

[Otta]

I like Spurs, but they're starting to lack serious class in the way they do business. Sherwood is a bit of a prick, but think he has deserved better treatment.

[StraferJack]

If I had sacked as many managers as Levy, I might start t think I was the problem

Problem is, I don't think he has a conscience...

Or he lacks adequate man management skill, or financial acumen or both.

Odd, there doesn't seem to be any discussion on who is replacing Pepe Mel. Does anyone know anything about David Moyes, or Tim Sherwood? They seem quite decent fellers but have also failed at their respective clubs.

Perhaps I'd best get onto a Manchester and a North London forum to seek advice (yes I do know that there is a certain sense of irony before you lot all get excited)

[Jah Lush]

Pepe Mel? A Peppermint could manage West Brom better. Good luck in your search. There's a lot of work to be done there.

I've said before that Levy is culpable. You can't keep sacking managers left right and centre. He reminds me of Mr Burns out of The Simpsons. We need stability at the club and we haven't had that during his reign as chairman.

Sherwood should get his coaching badges first before thinking of becoming a manager again though apparently Brighton have already expressed an interest in taking him on after parting company with Garcia.

I'd quite like Frank De Boer at the club but again he is someone who lacks Premiership experience and I'm fed up with flavour of the month managers. I think Mauricio Pochettino could be the one to get the job but again his "success" at Southampton was largely built on a squad of players that was already at the club. There is a good squad of players at Spurs, they just need the right man in charge who can work hand in glove with the chairman and DOF.|

Edited to say: I'd get rid of the Director Of Football as well. Wasted far too much money on too many foreign players untested in the Premier League.

[Parkdrive]

A story that is all over twitter suggesting the Arsenal have resigned Carlos Vela for 4m.

[Jah Lush]

Isn't he one of your former players?
