Tbf it should be a point in our favour that we already have two first choice English CBs, one very young, and are grooming a few more and giving them minutes, we just need a bit of experienced cover for a while.

4, maybe even 5 English nationals for Hodgson to choose from next summer.

Can the FA just shut up and give us this one please?

What really concerned me about Vickey's comments is what he said about Martinez... and i loosely quote...

"I hope i'm wrong but the last player that I thought was this bad prior to being signed was the Argentinian striker Mauro Boselli, also a Martinez buy. We all remember how every 6 months Martinez would tell us how he was going to come good and we all know how that worked out"

As I've said previously it's 5M. Worst case we can probably sell him back for 3. No biggie.

Everton have agreed a £5 million fee with River Plate for Ramiro Funes Mori, a defender, and are considering a move for Andrea Ranocchia, the Inter Milan centre back, in the event that John Stones leaves for Chelsea.

Obviously the difference being age and the affection River fans have for the player.

The FA have basically said That Oviedo would have not got a work permit under the new rules.

Under stricter rules to be introduced from next season, non-EU signings such as Bryan Oviedo, Mame Biram Diouf, Ryo Miyaichi and Brek Shea would have been unlikely to meet the tougher criteria. Players costing less than around £10m must meet criteria designed to prove they are of genuine international quality.

Dyke argued it would help free up squad places for young talent while leaving clubs able to signgenuine top-class talent from around the world.

In a move partly designed to show his chairman’s commission process had not been a waste of time and money, Dyke underlined the urgent need to try to increase the flow of young players into first-team squads. He said there was a particular issue at the upper end of the Premier League, where only 22% of those who started matches for Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United this season were qualified to play for England. That compared with 28% last season. This season only 23 English players appeared in the Champions League group stage compared with 78 Spanish players, 55 Germans and 51 Brazilians.

On coming into the job in 2013, Dyke made the issue a priority, warning that England faced drifting into footballing obscurity if nothing were done. He simultaneously set a target of winning the 2022 World Cup.

He contends huge investment in the academy system through the Premier League’s Elite Player Performance Plan has improved the quality of young players but that the blockage between 18 and 21 means they are not gaining enough first-team experience.

Dyke said that in trying to sell the regulations to Premier League clubs, who will have to vote for them with a two-thirds majority, he would point to the example of Kane. The 21-year-old striker is likely to make his debut for England in Friday’s Euro 2016 home qualifier against Lithuania or the friendly in Italy four days later following a breakthrough season with Tottenham after loan spells at four clubs.

Dyke said: “Suddenly an English kid who was out on loan, who was touch-and-go to get a game in the first team, is suddenly the top scorer in English football. It’s great news. How many more Harry Kanes are there out there who just can’t get a game?”

Dyke conceded there was no point “trying to flog a dead horse” over the introduction of Premier League B-teams into the Football League, another of the proposals that emanated from his original commission report.

Top cutting and pasting work from Moomin there.

He's right on the money too.

Isn't it a bit concerning that a defenders highlights clip that goes on for 6 minutes shows no defending..

Just my thoughts, 2 things I learned with the video he can header and has a strange fetish for kissing his shirt

Don't forget Marco, look how things turned out there!

It's funny how that feller always remembers the ones he 'got right' isn't it?

Is he willing to put his hand up about those he got wrong too?

You only have to hear him a few times rabbiting away on the radio to realise he's some breathless excitable nerd who likes football and just so happens to live in South America...which then makes him 'an expert' on that continent's football.

It's our Chief scout Kevin Reeves that is recommending we push for a deal with Mori.

And I believe it was Reeves who recommended Boselli to Wigan too amongst others.
