    All of those players were world beaters in their day. Because you have to be one to play for England, which is why it's an important point to make whenever a player's quality is being described.

    I would question whether Francis Jeffers was ever a world beater even in his dreams!

    So is Ikechi going to become Welsh or Jo Allen going to become Scottish?

    Thinking about it, isn't Anya eligible for about 12 countries? I know of England, Scotland, Nigeria and Romania but it wouldn't surprise me if Wales had been an option!

    He is only now eligible for one country having played 22 games for Scotland, just go be clear here he was actually born in Glasgow with parents neither who was Scottish, however neither were Welsh either!

    It was tongue in cheek, more than aware that he's now only eligible for Scotland. Anyway, what about his grandparents? :naughty:

    Didn't realise he'd already accumulated 22 caps for them though!

    At one time, he and Danny Cadermateri were one of the most feared partnerships in the premier league.

    On today's performance I think we should follow up on our supposed interest in Joe Allen, as I thought he was immense for Wales today!

    Funny how spoiling midfielders often look more impressive in tournament games than they do week in week out.

    Liverpool just rejected an £8m offer from Swansea for Allen apparently. Wanting £10m.

    We should definitely offer them the £10m as he would be an upgrade on Watson in terms of ability and age. Can always use part of the £20m we get for Jurado!

    Liverpool obviously trying to recoup some of the money they paid on him. He is only 26, so, i'd say £9-10m probably is fair.

    Liverpool reportedly prepared to pay £30 million for Mane of Southampton, surely they wont quibble over a couple £m when the 8 will recoup 25% of what they are prepared to shell out.
