In my honest opinion, you aint coming close to that with the players who will feature in this years Euros

Rubbish! There are plenty of players to keep in touch. And like all competitions, it will make a few household names out of a few. Maybe Gotze and Marvin Martin, or Remy. Who knows who's going to be the shining light of any competition. Who honestly knew about Ozil before 2010? Not many.

If you don't think we have the talent now, you aren't watching the right teams!
 
Alright then, some rumours:

La Gazzetta dello Sport says QPR are set to seal the capture of Djibril Cisse from Lazio, who will use the money to help buy Keisuke Honda.

Reports in Germany claim Fulham could be trying to sign Borussia Dortmund's Lucas Barrios.
 
Brian Marwood and Patrick Vieria were present at Ajax-Feyenoord yesterday, re John Guidetti.

McClaren is clearing out at Twente, Janko flying to Porto. Emir Bajrami out too, maybe WBA.

Sol Bamba could become a Premier League player.

Cisse to QPR and Jelavic to Everton almost done.

I'll give you the keepers, and a few others. But these. No.
 
Does he have his own personal hair dresser or will he give to community like Benny does?

Hmm... Pass. It isn't the sort of stuff you get down at the local gents barbers

I always wonder what could have been with Cisse if he hadn't had two horror leg breaks and an incompetant manager in Benitez trying to play him as a winger.

They aren't man to man btw, just a list of players. Obviously I don't think Lahm and Maldini go head to head. But then, there are a lot of people (dingdongheads imo) who will tell you that Maldini wasn't world class because his Italian side never took a WC...

There are a lot on that original list who I don't think were particularly great, Kluivert was a complete waste as he had a bad attitude, for example. Point is, there are plety to go head to head and most of them are at the beginning of their careers too.

I think that's an important point. We're getting a new generation of footballers now, but they haven't all established themselves as household names yet. Looking at the left hand side of that list, even the most casual fan who only watches European finals and the last stages of the WC (without really paying attention to who plays I should add) would know who they are.
 
Genoa have beaten off reported interest from Tottenham and Shakhtar Donetsk to sign Brazilian defender Roger Carvalho, subject to a medical.

Do our name just come up by default when they're doing transfer rumours?
