As reported by The Scottish Sun, on loan Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday is expected to return to the Light Blues’ squad this week ahead of their winter training camp excursion to Florida.
Halliday has spent the first half of the season on loan at Azerbaijan club Gabala after former manager Pedro Caixinha deemed him surplus to requirements, but it appears Graeme Murty is looking to include him going forward.
The midfielder didn’t have the best of 2016/17 seasons and was criticised for his performances under both Mark Warburton and latterly Caixinha.
Supporters don’t seem particularly enthused by his return with some feeling it’s a step backwards, that he won’t improve on who is already at the club and that they need better if they’re to compete with reigning champions Celtic.
Can the boyhood Rangers fan prove people wrong, or will he continue to struggle to improve the Ibrox side’s midfield fortunes?

This summer has been full of transfer sagas, and to the relief of most the closure of the transfer window has finally drawn a line in the sand under most of them. However Wayne Rooney’s protracted flirtations with other clubs is an issue that won’t go away, and for fans of English football in general, that ‘what if’ question still remains.
Rooney will now stay with Manchester United until January at the earliest, where the incessant merry-go-round will rear its head again. It appears that both Arsenal and Chelsea missed out on the frontman, much to the delight of United. But is the gain of one Premier League club going to be to the detriment of our national side in general?
Ever since Moyes’s implication in pre-season that Rooney would be no more than second choice to Van Persie, the Englishman has become increasingly unsettled. It didn’t start here though, a series of high profile fallouts with Ferguson left the Englishman cutting a frustrated figure at Old Trafford in the latter months of his tenure. An unhappy footballer playing second fiddle, hardly the perfect preparation for England’s main hope going into a World Cup year is it?
[cat_link cat=”premiership” type=”list”]
Rooney has for a while now maintained a strained relationship with David Moyes, and unless something can be done to rectify the situation both United and England are going to suffer. It seems a waste that the clubs fourth all time goalscorer and a man with 141 league goals for the club has been forced into such a background role. The importance of Van Persie is marked, but a fit and firing Rooney is surely a worthy addition to any side?
Now of course Rooney may well be afforded the opportunity of playing in behind Van Persie week in week out, to be honest we just don’t know. However what has been made clear is that the team is no longer about Wayne Rooney, and as it stands he is going to be fighting it out with the likes of Welbeck, Kagawa and Hernandez for that first team berth. Some may argue this kind of meritocracy is good, but for someone with the emotional fragility of Rooney I think it really could do more harm than good.
Leaving Rooney to slug it out for first team scraps could well be the best move for United, in the end if someone like Kagawa proves himself deserving then why not move him up the pecking order? The issue is more of a national one in reality. Some may disagree, but for me United still boast a range of International stars ready to take up the gauntlet, the reality for England is that they just do not have this luxury. Wayne Rooney still represents one of a few world-class options for Roy Hodgson, and for the sake of the national side his future still needs to be nurtured.
So would a move have boosted England?
Moves to Chelsea and Arsenal were mooted, and in my opinion both would have benefited the respective clubs and the nation in general. Neither Chelsea nor Arsenal are endowed with the striking riches of United and clearly Rooney would have been a certain starter for both clubs. Chelsea’s willingness to play without a recognised striker just about says it all and in my opinion Olivier Giroud and Wayne Rooney just aren’t in the same league as each other. Now who knows Rooney could have been employed as a number 10 or an out and out striker, it is all pretty hypothetical but most would agree he would be the focal point of both attacking outfits.
Someone like Jose Mourinho openly admitting that Rooney is his only transfer target has a profound effect on the individual. Rooney needs to be wanted and his recent struggles may well have heralded the need for a new environment.
Playing in the confines of London, with consistent opportunities at a top club where he is wanted, surely the blueprint for a resurgent Rooney?
England’s national side, if recent performances are anything to go on, are in absolute tatters. Monotonous and dull, the national side have decided stifling the opposition is the only option for a side that has so little to offer going forward.

If England are even to get to Rio let alone compete they desperately need a firing Wayne Rooney, and his prolonged stay in Manchester just could put pay to that.
Will Rooney’s failed move ultimately damage England?
It doesn’t matter at what level of football you play, being a goalkeeper can be a really unpleasant job.
Even on the school playing field, it has always been the position that nobody wants to play. You pick sides one player at a time. You slowly pick off the best players until eventually your team is left with the weakest, least competent member of the group. So what do you do with them? Well, it’s obvious. You stick them in goal in a vain attempt to keep them out of harm’s way. Then when your team wins, the focus is on the goalscorer and the goalkeeper’s efforts go unnoticed. When your team ends up losing, there is only one person to blame, isn’t there?
But in the professional game, is it any different? When people think of the greatest goals of all time, they think of Diego Maradona vs England (not the first goal, obviously!), Marco Van Basten vs USSR, Cantona vs Sunderland, Bergkamp vs Newcastle, Henry vs Manchester United, Zidane vs Bayer Leverkusen, Di Canio vs Wimbledon… the list goes on.
On the other hand, when people think of the greatest saves of all time… well, you’ve got Gordon Banks vs Brazil… and that’s about it. Take nothing away from goalkeepers such as Schmeichel, Zoff, Yashin, Khan, Van Der Sar, Buffon and Casillas. They have all produced mind-blowing saves during their careers, but it’s only ever Banks’ physics-defying save from Pele’s header that truly sticks out in the minds of the footballing public.
Sadly goalkeepers are rarely remembered for their heroics in front of goal. If anything, they are remembered for the exact opposite. If you type ‘great goalkeeping saves’ into YouTube, you will receive over 18,000 videos in response. But type ‘goalkeeping errors’, and the number of responses is almost trebled!
Yes, we all enjoy watching the old blooper every now and again (as long as it doesn’t happen to your team!), but it’s of little wonder or surprise that being a goalkeeper is one of the most stressful jobs in any sport. There is simply no margin for error. If a team has an off day and fails to score, the best they can hope for is a draw. But if the keeper has a bad day, his team could end up with nothing at all.
And the pressure just doesn’t go away. The new Premier League season is only just over a week old, and yet we have already witnessed no fewer than seven goalkeeping howlers. Even the League’s most reliable goalies, most notably, Petr Cech, David De Gea and Shay Given are amongst those to have fumbled already this season.
In the modern era, when every single match that is played is scrutinised right down to the finest details, goalkeepers always remain subject to criticism, scepticism and mockery.
The cynics amongst us might say that ‘they’re only job is to stop shots from going in to the back of the net. How hard can that possibly be?’ But being a goalkeeper is about so much more than that. It is about being a master of your own state of mind. It is about conquering your own self-doubt. It is about not letting your mistakes affect your ability as a player.
The question is how does a goalkeeper deal with all of these issues? Well, nowadays the biggest clubs have all kinds of facilities to help players psychologically, however most players are apparently too reluctant to commit themselves to dealing with their own self-doubt, for fear of what their manager and team-mates would think of them.
One of the biggest fears for a footballer is rejection. One week, you think you are playing well, but the next week you find yourself on the bench. This can have a massive psychological effect on any player, but for this to happen to a goalkeeper, where there is only one place in the team up for grabs, the thought that your manager favours another player over yourself can be very damaging to the psyche.
Back in March, former England goalkeeper David James wrote an article in the Observer about the lack of psychological support in football:
‘There’s a misconception that all footballers are very confident, but it is the opposite for most.
‘It is a great irony that in a game where we routinely talk of confidence on the pitch, psychological support off it is so appallingly neglected. When I was going through a bad time at Liverpool I approached the club for some support. Back then, I was told, “Shut up and deal with it”. Sadly, I don’t think football has moved on from that position.’
Every goalkeeper suffers from self-doubt, even if they won’t admit it. Even Edwin Van Der Sar, one of the greatest keepers of all time, has admitted to being prone to this. But the best thing they can do is simply try to brush it off, learn from that mistake and try not to let it happen again. Some are able to brush off their mistakes and move on even if their reputation takes a hit as a result.

Robert Green’s reputation has been completely tarnished by his error during England’s match vs USA at the 2010 World Cup. Massimo Taibi seemed to completely disappear off the radar following his howler for Manchester United against Southampton in 1999. Even David James has suffered a similar fate, inheriting the nickname ‘Calamity James’ during a torrid spell at Liverpool. But the truth is all of these players did not let their mistakes get to them. Despite another error recently, Robert Green is still a top flight goalkeeper at QPR, Massimo Taibi went on to have a successful career in Italy, and David James, despite not currently being attached to a club, is still playing in his 40s.
Sadly, some goalkeepers are never able to fathom the amount of responsibility that they have to deal with. The most prominent and tragic example being that of German goalkeeper Robert Enke, who committed suicide in November 2009. In Ronald Reng’s book, A Life Too Short: The Tragedy of Robert Enke, we examine the life of a man struggling to battle with his own personal demons and are given an insight into the pressures and fears of playing sport at the highest level. Enke’s story is a shining example of how it could all go wrong for today’s professional goalkeeper.
It’s easy to say that clubs could do more to support their players psychologically, and there is no doubt in my mind that they should. But players need to take it upon themselves not to let their self-doubt get the better of them. Thankfully, the example of Robert Enke is one of a kind. But all goalkeepers, regardless of how good they are, should learn from him.
Goalkeepers simply need to learn one thing: they are only human. The chances are extremely high that a goalkeeper will make more than one mistake in his career. But this doesn’t mean that his reputation has to suffer. One mistake or one bad performance doesn’t define a goalkeeper. It’s how they bounce back from this mistake that defines them.
Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen has emphasised the importance of manager Mauricio Pochettino in a tell-all interview with the London Evening Standard.
What’s the story?
At the end of another trophy-less season at Tottenham, Pochettino called on chairman Daniel Levy to “be brave, take risks and create a new idea” at the club.
The Spurs manager has been coy when asked about his long-term future, claiming the club need to progress “with [him] or another.”
Speculation about Pochettino’s future has been rife, the latest reports linking the Argentine with a move across the capital to Chelsea.
Eriksen raised a few key points during the interview. Firstly, he addressed the rumours surrounding Pochettino – who he insists is a “Spurs man”.
“He’s really important. You can see what he has achieved with this club. When I arrived [in summer 2013], there was a season with a lot of ups and downs at first but ever since [Pochettino joined a year later] it’s really been very stable — finishing in the top three is a big achievement for the manager.”
Secondly, the Dane was very complimentary on the style of play the manager has brought to the team:
“He can have a big pat on his shoulders for the people around him and for him. He’s pushed us and the players in the right direction. We’re going into every game and winning games with the right mentality with exciting football. The fans in particular, I hope, enjoy how we play.
“I enjoy how we play under the manager. I think the style of play is something that suits me and the players we have. Generally, you’re going into every game with excitement. You know you’re going to play forward and not going to defend.”
Finally, Eriksen reflected on what’s to come and Spurs fans will be relieved to hear it includes Tottenham:
“The next step is, of course, to finish the semis and try to get through [to a final]. I think if we do what we did against all the teams in the Champions League again, we have a chance of going even further.
“I think we’ve shown in the Champions League we have something we can take with us. We’re over the hill, we tried it. Now we want to win something, we want to go further. Mentally that’s a big step we need to go forward.”
Glass Ceiling
Pochettino’s achievements in north London will not have gone unnoticed by Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich.
At Spurs the Argentine has presided over three consecutive top-three finishes despite having a net spend of £50m. To put that in context, the two teams who finished above Spurs this season, United and City, both have a net spend of over £400million in the same period.

While Levy may be reluctant to release the financial shackles at Spurs, Abramovich has shown time and time again he is prepared to spend the big bucks. Levy must give Pochettino the resources he needs if he harbours serious ambitions of taking the club to the next level.
If he doesn’t, there is a very real possibility that Pochettino will be managing in west London next season.
West Ham’s turnaround has been phenomenal over the last few weeks.
The David Moyes revolution took a few weeks to kick in, but despite having to face Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal in successive weeks, it seems to be well and truly here.
That unforgiving run of three tough fixtures saw the Hammers pick up four points, and although it wasn’t enough to actually bring them out of the relegation zone, it was enough to create belief within the side.
There was always a big question still remaining, however: although Moyes had managed to get his defensive players playing in an organised and solid fashion, could he do it in a game where his side would have less motivation, against a smaller team where that on-edge defensive performance wasn’t going to be necessary?
And although Mark Hughes’ Stoke City are hardly one of the league’s best sides right now, they answered that question as emphatically as they could.
Although Marko Arnautovic will get the plaudits for an effective, yet antagonistic performance, Manuel Lanzini’s effectiveness shouldn’t be overlooked.
When playing those teams in the top six, when defensive solidity and pace on the counter-attack are of paramount importance, against a side like Stoke, it’s the creativity of a Lanzini type figure which comes to the fore. And he didn’t disappoint.
His 80 touches from the number 10 position was more than any other player on the pitch apart from Stoke’s Joe Allen, who equalled the Argentine’s tally. But it’s what Lanzini did with it that counted.
His two assists are the most obvious contributions, but his accumulation of five dribbles and four key passes was unrivalled by any other player on the pitch, and he still managed to keep his pass accuracy to an impressive 90%, despite clearly looking to be direct, make things happen, and set his teammates away.
It was a complete performance from a player who will be relied upon to be the creative spark in a side who are still attempting to shore up a leaky defence.

When Moyes arrived, one of the criticisms was whether or not he’d be able to fashion a functional attack given his expertise seemed to be defensive organisation rather than the other end of the pitch.
In Lanzini – not to mention getting the best out of Arnautovic – he’ll have a player able to do that creative role in the games the Hammers are expected to win, not just the ones where they can perform above expectations. And that will be hugely important for the rest of the season.
I know full well you’re all wondering what my West Ham XI would be, so I’m going to make your day and tell you.
Now these players may not always be the best naturally gifted players in the world, but for one reason or another, these players have managed to make it into my heart and have therefore managed to make it into my team.
Now please bear in mind I am only in my early 20’s, so some of you older readers may notice some notable casualties that haven’t made my squad.
It’s not that I don’t appreciate our rich history, it’s just that I don’t think I could name a player that I haven’t seen play, into my squad.

New Liverpool loan midfielder Nuri Sahin believes he can help the Merseyside club get back into the Champions League places this season, according to the BBC.
In a press conference held yesterday, Sahin told the media: “I am looking forward to playing this season and we will do everything to get into top four.”
Sahin, 23, joined Liverpool on a season-long loan to secure regular first team football after a difficult season plagued by injuries at Real Madrid. The midfielder added: “I didn’t play so many games last season so it was important for me to come to a club where I have the chance to play at a high level, and Liverpool is the best club for me right now.”
Sahin decided on a move to Merseyside over Arsenal, and he admitted his decision to join the Anfield club was heavily influenced by what the former Liverpool and now Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso had to say about it. “Xabi said good things,” Sahin explained. “He played a long time for Liverpool and is still in love with the club.”
The German-born Turk added that after watching Liverpool’s performance against Manchester City on Sunday, he is confident that he has made the right decision: “You can see the style of the team is very good. What people told me about Liverpool is what I see now. They are a very big club with a huge history and I think I have made the right choice.”
When asked whether he could envisage a permanent move to Liverpool if he were to have a successful season with the club, Sahin responded by saying “you never know”.
The Turkish midfielder was key to the success of a championship winning Borussia Dortmund side in the 2010-11 season. As a result, he earned a £7 million move to the Bernabeu last summer. However, because of his injury turmoils in the previous campaign, Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has told Sahin that his options will be limited at the club following the signing of Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers will be hoping that Sahin’s unselfish and dogged style of play in the centre of midfield will allow Steven Gerrard the freedom to press on in attack. Incidentally, Sahin could make his Liverpool debut on Sunday when Liverpool host the team he snubbed to join Merseyside, Arsenal.
They may not have much left to play for in the Premier League this season, but Manchester United versus Arsenal remains one of English football’s most iconic fixtures. Throw in the fact this may well be Arsene Wenger’s last ever trip to Old Trafford, the scene of one of his most famous triumphs when the Gunners lifted the title there in 2002, and Sunday’s meeting will be ninety minutes of intriguing nostalgia at the very least.
So, how will this one pan out? Football FanCast’s very own Man-United-mad Sam Preston shares his thoughts and predictions ahead of the 4.30pm kickoff…
In many ways, it’s a shame Wenger’s last meeting with the Red Devils as Arsenal manager has come at this stage of the season. United will finish in the top four and are preparing for the FA Cup final; Arsenal will finish outside the top four and have a Europa League semi-final on Thursday night to think about. Both managers look set to rest key players with greater priorities in mind, and that could see a disappointing lack of competitiveness on Sunday.
Will this match end up being something of a dead rubber?
Sam: “I think it will, but it’ll be because Wenger rests players ahead of the return leg with Atletico. Of course United have the FA Cup to worry about, but that’s not for a few weeks yet so I’d expect Jose Mourinho to field his strongest side. Arsenal may well lack intensity and Mourinho will want to capitalise on that to all but clinch second place. Mourinho has set his side the target of getting seven more points in their last four games and there is a massive opportunity to get three of them here.”
A bitter rivalry with Mourinho has of course been one of the defining factors in the latter half of Wenger’s Arsenal tenure. The Portuguese’s arrival at Chelsea back in 2004 brought the abrupt end of the Invincibles’ dominance, and a year later Arsenal would win their only trophy for almost a decade. That’s no coincidence either; Mourinho’s defensive 4-3-3 counteracted Arsenal’s expansive style of play and has resulted in a formidable record against the Gunners gaffer. From 18 meetings to date, Mourinho’s won nine compared to Wenger’s mere two victories.
What are the key aspects of the Mourinho game-plan that have helped create such a dominant record over the Frenchman?
Sam: “Mourinho is a pragmatist so he’s always been willing to let Wenger’s sides dominate possession without penetration before exploiting the spaces Arsenal invariably leave behind. On Sunday, he will have no problem letting even a weakened Arsenal team have more of the ball and ruthlessly punish them on the counter attack. There’s usually much more pace and power in Mourinho’s sides than Wenger’s and that will be the key again on Sunday.”
Amid such a disappointing season, albeit one that could still end in a European trophy, it can be easy to forget how talented this Arsenal side is, even after losing Alexis Sanchez to United in January. After all, Mesut Ozil is one of the best playmakers in the world and mid-season acquisition Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was one of the most potent forwards in Ligue 1 before rising to the same status in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund.
Which Arsenal star is capable of causing United the most damage this weekend?
Sam: “It has to be Aubameyang. I wouldn’t expect any of Arsenal’s other big hitters to play but obviously Aubameyang is cup-tied and should spearhead the attack at Old Trafford. He is growing in confidence and in the continued absence of Eric Bailly, United don’t have anyone else who can live with his raw speed. His pace in behind will ensure Mourinho sets his team up to play reasonably deep as well.”
And where will this game be lost and won?

Sam: “On the counter-attack. If United can rob Arsenal in midfield and use the speed of Romelu Lukaku, Sanchez and Jesse Lingard to break into the spaces they leave behind, then they should win fairly easily. But if Arsenal are able to keep the ball away from United and pin them back then that’s their best chance of securing the win. There’s a fine line between soaking up pressure – controlling the game without the ball as Mourinho calls it – and being penned in, unable to break out. United must make the most of their chances to counter.”
Finally Sam, let’s hear your score prediction…
Sam: “If this wasn’t Wenger’s last trip to Old Trafford as Arsenal manager then the visitors wouldn’t care about this game at all, with the Atletico match on the horizon. The Wenger factor adds something extra but I still expect Arsenal’s hearts to not really be in it, and a stronger United side to clinch the victory. 2-0 United.”
Manchester United’s interest in Hoffenheim ace Roberto Firmino is genuine according to respected BBC reporter John Bennett, who says that he “wouldn’t be at all surprised†if the attacking midfielder ends up at Old Trafford.
Reports yesterday suggested that a deal between the Red Devils and the Bundesliga side had been agreed, with a £13.1m fee in place to lure the Brazilian across to England, pending a successful medical.
Although the Red Devils have secured the services of Memphis Depay, who’s move was made official just a few hours ago, Firmino is thought to be a target, and Bennett took to Twitter to reveal that there is serious interest from United:
WANT MORE? >>ÂMan United transfer newsÂ|ÂLatest transfer news
He wrote: “I know Louis van Gaal enquired about Brazil’s Roberto Firmino back in April. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if he ends up and Manchester United.â€
Bennett then went on to state that a host of other clubs are chasing the 23-year-old, and that the Copa America, which he’s featuring in for his home nation, could slow down negotiations:
“On Roberto Firmino: several very big clubs have expressed concrete interest. Copa America slows down any deal. Player has a decision to make.â€
Firmino has been Hoffenheim’s star turn over the course of the past two league seasons, notching 23 goals and 21 assists since the start of the 2013/14 campaign.

Lionel Messi says he will be fit and looking for revenge when Bayern Munich come to Barcelona with a 4-0 advantage from the first leg.
The Spanish league leaders were comprehensively beaten by the German champions in the first leg of their semi-final encounter, a brace for Thomas Muller and one apiece for Mario Gomez and Ajren Robben giving the Bavarians a healthy lead.
Barca have left themselves with a massive mountain to climb in the second leg at the Nou Camp in a week’s time, with Messi likely to be key to any hopes they have of reaching the final.
The Argentina international looked short of match fitness on Tuesday after spending the last two weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.
Barcelona’s all-time leading goalscorer says he will be fully fit when Bayern come to Catalonia next week and believes the team will fight until the end in the hope of making it through.
“I felt good. I was well enough to play. We have to lift ourselves for the second leg and La Liga. We will bounce back,” said Messi.

“They were a lot stronger than us, physically superior. It is a pity what happened but we have to move on.”
