This is Peter Lansley of The Times summing up of the Liverpool players
Andre Wisdom – 6 – The new captain, and long since earmarked as an England star in the making, the Liverpool defender has every chance of becoming a mainstay. England’s best player v Israel.
Jonjo Shelvey – 4 – Has attacking intent, decent ability and confidence but needs to keep a check on his self-belief. Capped once by the seniors, plays as if he thinks he has made it. He hasn’t. Shake of the head when saw he was being substituted against Israel spoke volumes. Get over yourself.
Jordan Henderson – 5 – Captain finishes his Under-21 career with 27 caps and a reputation as a solid citizen and team player. Has battled his way back into Liverpool squad through dedication so could keep improving.

Hamann offers his though re young players and loans. Still ongoing at the moment.
I don't recall him doing so. He's played across the back four, and he's pushed up during the latter stages of certain games, but I don't think he's played in the role as such. I'm sure he could do, although CB is his most logical future role.
I was at the Germany v. Russia game today.
Both teams have already been eliminated so the game was supposed to be flowing w/o the pressure of qualification.
There was good football but only in in parts of the game. The Germans are very strong physically, but they lack the skillful players which their current national team has in players like Ozil, Goetze etc.
Best player was unsurprisingly Alan Dzagoiev (sp.) who was selected man of the match.
I also liked Sebastian Rudy who came on as a 2nd half sub.

I just wonder if he could do it, like the times Carragher or King got stuck in centre mid for England. Not very likely though I suppose.

What are the chances of Alvaro Morata being the next Soldado/Negredo - i.e. good striker who can't make the breakthrough at Real Madrid?

According to Andy Mitten (from The National) a couple of weeks ago, Martin Ferguson scouted Isco extensively and decided he was too slow and didn't make enough impact on the pitch!
Isco is very good. I really hope he doesn't go to City.
There are a couple players in this tourney - those that aren't unattainable or at top clubs already - that look well worth signing and potentially top class in the near future.
Where is this Luis Alberto cunt at.

Aka found out Isco is on his way to City regardless so decided to proclaim he's too slow.
That Immobile is slow as fuck.
Quality celebration. That's a proper way to celebrate a goal.
wonderful finish.
