I wonder what this means for Kasper at Leicester, either way purely from my own point of view, it will be good to see him back in the league again.

France pulled a late goal back through Abdou Diallo but England hold on to win 2-1 and claim their first Toulon title in 22 years. Thoroughly deserved it's been, too.

I've watched all England's games and enjoyed it.........they've been pretty good

Obviously with not going to the Olympics this has been a main target for the full U21 squad whereas most of the countries have sent their reserves or next age group down as they prepare their main squads for Rio

So perhaps it was a good tournament to target

Pepe must be the biggest cheat in Spanish football. And anyone who watches it will appreciate that as some achievement, because he's up against a huge raft of competition.

There has been massive discontent with the club's owners in recent years, coming to a head recently over a new Season Pass/Membership Scheme that basically abolishes Child/OAP Concessions, combined with a Complicated System for Buying tickets for the final which ment that thousands of casual fans simply gave up trying to buy tickets for the final.

"complicated system for buying tickets"

There were only 2 phases - season ticket holders could get 3 for a while, then it was a free for all where you could buy 6 at a time.

The support was embarrassing and tinpot, not deserving of a PL place. Fortuntely for you, your expensive players are. You were evn competely outsung after the whistle and outside the ground afterwards the Hull fans looked like they were on their way to a funeral.

Thursday IIRC

Can't see Portugal risking Ronaldo in this match, so more than likely he will be rested

It all depends on wether he can fit a full body wax and tanning session in before the game . Appearance is everything after all

Perhaps if more of our footballers were as dedicated to their profession and their physical condition as Ronaldo, we would spend far less time discussing how many physical crocks the England squad can afford to take to a tournament.

Juve put pogba up for sale.

Don't think barca can fit him onto the wage structure without neymar leaving.

Can see city and Paris definitely being interested

City should be going all out. The only club city should lose pogba to is Barcelona. If they can't get him his there's for the taking as long as long as Guardiola wants him.

I would have thought both Manchester clubs should be trying to sign him, but he didn't exactly leave United in the happiest of circumstances.

As Fergie is reported telling MUTV:

"Pogba signed for Juventus a long time ago as far as we're aware. "(It) is disappointing. I don't think he showed us any respect at all, to be honest."

He added: "I'm quite happy that if they carry on that way, they're probably better doing it away from us."

This is a different period of time with us, José is very different from Sir Alex, and plus it is not as if we couldn't afford to bring him back, if we wanted to get him, we could.

I don't disagree at all, but it is difficult to know if Pogba thinks in the same way and this sour note from the past might just sway him to choose City rather then United, should that be a choice. After all, it would be quite a choice to have to make.

True we don't know what is in his mind, or how he thinks about us, but there are very few players left from when he was last with us, plus the coaching set-up has vastly changed, so it would almost be like he was not coming back to us per say, but coming to a different club (if you see what I mean).

I would have thought that Pogba would be the perfect fit for Chelsea

New italian manager that would have seen him play a lot and needing to bring in some new quality players

Quite.

As for Pogba I couldn't care less,he wanted to leave and I wouldn't have him back for all the tea in China.

Fergie ' s earlier quote summed it up for me.
