Apologies if this has been posted! I did have a look about.
I really like this quote from Hodgson in today's press conference in Macadonia. Pretty classy stuff IMO.
When asked about Young and on rumours linking Rodriguez with a return to Espanyol, the 62-year-old said: "They are not playing tomorrow."
Hodgson was also unhappy when asked if reports that Insua's proposed move to Fiorentina had hit a snag were true.
"No information to be given about that," he said.
When another question was asked about the difficulties of trying to sign English players - to comply with new Premier League squad rules - in the current market, Hodgson decided to make a firm point.
He said: "We're changing the subject. I don't think it's right in a room full of Macedonian journalists to be talking about things like homegrown rules and English players.
"I think we should be talking about the game, because that is what interests people.
"The subjects you are bringing up now are subjects for a future press conference.
"It is quite important in these last seven minutes that the questions I try to answer - and I gladly will for the Macedonians - will be about the football match tomorrow and not things like systems of play and future transfer targets or the long-term future of English football."
Good stuff and quite right too. Guess we'll find out about soon enough. :-\
