Mesut Ozil looked one to watch. Where's he get his name from - a Scrabble bag?

One from the many Turkish residents in Germany and who will probably be targeted by the Turkish national team to play at full international level for them and not Germany.
Think it was mentioned a few of the German team could play at full international level for another nation.

Interestingly (or not), the German coach brought their squad through from under19s level and he is now being moved to the under-19s to bring the next crop through (presumably on rotation with another coach)

Whilst in the main a good tournament for England, it was disappointing to see defenders hoofing long balls up the field to a short-ar$e forward up against taller & stronger defenders.
The sooner this is taught (or beaten) out of English players the better.
Has been the downfall for the full national side in recent tournaments with either Owen or rooney or both up front and expected to compete for hopeful long balls against bigger defenders

I really hope City get Et'o, it would be great to see him in the premiership, I just hope he doesn't become another world star to laugh at City. I fancy them to be top 4 next year with Arsenal dropping out providing they solidify their defence.

Why exactly, that's exactly what they deserve. They are clearly above themselves by trying to buy in theses world stars by throwing money at them and so far only Robinho went, and that was in desperation. And where you get top four from i'll never know, yes, they have been linked with a host of players but so far signed Barry and Taylor what in this world is there to suggest they will get anywhere near the top four next season?

I'm not sure to be honest, I've not been L1 for ages. From what I've seen from photo's it only appears to be narrow but might go deep, its two floors.

Its about time we had decent facilities in town though.

Couldn't agree more, finally we look to be getting our act together by putting things like this in place. Prime location and a little later than most stores in L1 but as they say better late than never. I've only saw the photos myself but it looks good, apprently it's a really good store. Since the one by central closed down we have been desperate for this.

Reyes rumours are surfacing again Prince, what you think?

Are they only selling the new kit at Everton one and two? I've not seen it in stores in either Warrington or Runcorn.

I think the Reyes one is just a rumour. I think Moutinho is the more likely option tbh. Would love to see Reyes at Goodison though, only 25 as well.

Green doesn't go well with blue.

Why would Eto'o want to join a mid table club ?

Are we a mid-table club? I thought it was pre-season.

If you are referring to Everton in that statement then deary me tonight

The 5th best team in England without spending much is pretty darn good. Whereas you spent how much last and finished where again? Shame Dunne got sent off so many times, you could have got into Europe again.
