Football Spy: Deadline day evening update

[mohaned1975]

Darren time to dust of the rabbit suit and put your carrots on the line.

The season is over and all we have left is the encore performances of the Champions League and FA Cup finals before the transfer window reopens and the rumour mill churns out a sack full of speculation. The only certainty is that I will be eagerly watching Football Spy for all the latest information about the transfer merry-go-round. When will you be back on air?

if adebayor leaves arsenal, who do you think they will buy? what do you think about villa, eto'o or huntelaar joining?

[FuturoAllenatore]

You can't seriously be a Liverpool fan with that view of Rafa.

Treated Keane badly? 28 games in half a season? He wasn't good enough. End of. Thought Rafa played him too much if anything.

You don't think Rafa should get a new deal? Who's this great manager we replace him with then?

[dailymirror]

FS: Mourinho.

And as for Keane, you cant seriously believe Keane had a decent run in the side, can you? What about Hull, Stoke, Wigan?

Who is this great striker that Rafa should replace Keane with? Oh, I forgot, Rafa's not going to replace him at all.

Can't wait to see how that legendary goal poacher David Ngog does against Real Madrid...

[FuturoAllenatore]

No thanks on Mourinho.

Why will N'Gog be playing against Real Madrid? Torres will be. With Gerrard behind him.

We don't need more strikers. Kuyt and Babel can also play upfront. Pacheco has been brilliant in the reserves.

We play 4-2-3-1. You don't need more than 3 strikers in your squad.

We switched to 4-4-2 in some games to accomodate Keane. The formation that worked so well last year abolished for one player. One player who failed in epic proportions.

[ToonFanNZ]

Sorry its a little late but, Birmingham have signed Michael Chopra on loan from Newcastle? you mean Sunderland?

Hi Darren

well i think your show should return at least once a week. A round up for the best leagues like premierleague serie A la liga. Let us know about the rumours and your predictions.

Good luck Darren and keep it up with our best show football spy :)

[mohaned1975]

Hi Darren,

I know that the transfer window has slammed shut and you are due a long well deserved break but I have a suggestion fr the continuation of the show. It might be an idea to have Football Spy Weekly. This could be a round up of the weeks top stories, match predictions, team analysis and viewer comment ofcourse. Anyway I am off to lobby the FA to award a Champions League place to the winner of the FA Cup.

r u goin to have football spy today?

[drewspurs]

heyy Darren,

I've heard alot of peoples opinions of Rafa and since you're a liverpool fan what do you think about him?

Should he be given a new contract with so many draws that should be wins.

[dailymirror]

FS:

Hello Drew, We are not convinced by Rafa. He is far too negative to win the title. He has spent a lot of money in pursuit of the title on players that he hasn't really given a chance. And he has treated Robbie Keane very badly. We think that will come back to haunt him and no, we don't think he should get that new contract...

[FuturoAllenatore]

His net spending is very minimal compared to the last 5 years of United and Chelsea. Keane played over 25 games and we were only halfway through the season. Treated badly? He was rubbish. End of. Shouldn't get a new contract? Haha. Replace him with who? I urge you all to read "Dynasty" where a detailed analysis of Benitez is given. Fed up of the nonsense spouted by the likes of Sherwood and Burley. Zonal marking doesn't work etc More nonsense is spoken about Rafa than any other manager.

[mohaned1975]

Darren you're a star. Can't wait for the summer transfer window to open.

[forshizzmynizz]

samflan99, quaesma is a pretty decent player indeed.

also darren, what do you think they should of done to bosingwa i think he should of got a red card and 3 match bann and sent back to portugal if that was arsenal we would of got our player sent off

[dailymirror]

FS: Bosingwa should definitely have had a red card. No question. He is a very, very lucky boy indeed.

[samflan99]

is this new chelsea winger any good darren?

[dailymirror]

FS: Hi Sam Flan. Ricardo Quaresma is top class but has had an unhappy time under Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan. Eventually the Inter fans turned on him because he couldn't reproduce the form that saw him go there for £20million.

But if he settles at Chelsea he could be an excellent signing and could give them the width they have been crying out for.

[thetak1]

it's saying on the net everywhere that arshavin has finally joined arsenal, is this true? p.s. awesome show

[dailymirror]

FS: It is indeed true The Tak. Arshavin has signed for £15million over four and a half years. Interesting as it takes him up to the age of 32. Wenger normally ships players out at 30.

[Robson619]

I feel bad for you Darren - you're the only one there!

[dailymirror]

FS: Bless you Robson but there are other people here too!!

[rayneth360]

Henry beats every other striker still.

[dailymirror]

FS: ; - D

Let it go Rayneth!!

[rayneth360]

NO i refuse to back down, because he is the best striker EVER! beats shearer easy.
