Let's get in early with personal team of the year XIs. Mine... 4-2-3-1 (as the new 4-4-2 in the Prem) Gk... de Gea Rb... Ivanovic Lb... Azpalequeta Cb... Terry Cb... Fonte Cm... Matic Cm... Fabregas Rm... Sanchez Lm... Hazard Fwd... Rooney Str... Kane

Hazard and Hazard for me although I think it will go Hazard (main) and Kane (young). How's Coutinho got the nod above the likes of Rooney, Fabregas, Aguero and even Sterling? He's come into his own over the past few weeks but what about pre-Christmas?!

Norwich vs Boro is on sky on Fri - should be a good game... Home win for me and Bournemouth and Norwich to cement the top 2.

Playing devil's advocate here... would anyone have Mikky back? I would, providing he replaced Barry - I still think Barry has an important role but I just think Arteta could offer us more creativity in the deeper role with McCarthy covering the more defensive role.

I can see Milner going to Arsenal as Cazorla's replacement. Milner's a very underrated player who would be brilliant here but teams will give him £100k plus per week which we won't. Regarding the list, it's not 100% accurate as some have since renewed e.g Carrick and some are only on loan contracts currently e.g M'Vila and I think that German centre mid too.

The only way they'd let him go is if he's crocked as he was brilliant for them last season and with Johnson going and Manquillo only on loan surely he'll have a future there.

He does look clumsy at times but he's massive - he reminds me of Paulo Wanchope. He's shown enough glimpses that he may be a decent prospect in my opinion. Can see him becoming a striker long term.

He's actually looked a decent prospect this season. People need to get Shola Ameobi out of their head and judge Sammy on his own credentials.

I'd love Wolves and Derby to come up due to locality and family links/interest but don't think either will. Bournemouth, Norwich and Watford are the 3 I think will make it.

Lennon should be a no brainer for anything up to £6m. He's proven quality. I want him and Mirallas (hopefully a fully fit Pienaar too). Get rid of McGeady. We'd still need at least 1 more winger but Lennon is at least reliable and a massive upgrade on McGeady in my opinion.

He's a Kopite... poor bloke! http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12691/9805400

It's good that Cleverley and the playmaker are 2 different targets. Where I feel Cleverley will prove to be a shrewd bit of business for us, he's clearly not the playmaking answer!

Hmmmm... The question is will he be Danny Williamson or Claus Thomsen next?

Brett Angel?

It occurred to me that I didn't wish Ten happy birthday... so many belated returns! P.S. If anyone else has a birthday anytime soon then happy birthday to you too!

You need banning for that. I've got no sympathy for your situation when you post absurd shit like this. In short wind it in or wind it up.

Sure there's topic somewhere but can't find it. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/435704/Everton-Man-United-Adnan-Januzaj

Big difference with Garbutt to the others mentioned is that Garbutt's been out on loan and played internationally through the ranks - he would have played a lot more games if it wasn't for injuries. Stones is just exceptional - he had a good run with Barnsley when we signed him too. Galloway looks good but he plays in a 'key position' so I don't think we'll see him this season. I do think we will see Henen before the end of the season as a winger where it's easier to throw a player in.
