He was never going to stay with Rogers introducing his passing game to the side.

Any particular preferences for transfers this summer, Joe?

I saw you're linked to Schalke's Papadopolous. If you get him he's an incredible centre half and only 20/21 years old. His tackle success is something remarkable this season!

Also saw you linked to Kolo Toure...that's perhaps not quite so good haha!
 
Although he's yet to agree, there aren't many other offers on the table. He won't ever fit into Rodgers plans and Allardyce has had nothing but praise for him since he has come back from injury, and to be fair he's had a decent season at West Ham. I think he shoud sign.

Carlton Cole being let go as well.

Ha, didn't realise he'd grown old so quick!!!!

Well then, there really isn't a good young player as Moyes very rarely ever played them.

See Hughes in line for Stoke job according to the BBC. Odd if true, but excellent for us - hopefully he'll take some of his old signings off us!

Good luck Stokies, you'll need it! He is a tactical genius, it's just that he is such a tactical genius no players, coaches, fans, writers etc can actually understand them he is so far ahead of everyone.

Very sad - a brave player and one from the first United team I went to watch.

I'm not sure he and brother Jimmy ever reconciled their differences.

Sad to see, he was a brilliant player back in his day :(

It's weird. At blackburn he was ok, at Wales he was good. However, I think stoke will struggle post pulis and if Hughes takes over will head to ladbrokes to bet on them going down.

I'd have that apart from the Ferdinand comment. One of the best central defenders in the world over the years so I don't see how he's improved. He's not had as many injuries this year so that's helped him a lot.
