Scottish Mag 3 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 ENGLAND GOSSIP The Football Association's hesitancy could cost it the chance of appointing Jose Mourinho as the new England manager. (The Sun) Jurgen Klinsmann is also waiting to hear from the FA, according to a German FA insider. (Mirror) TRANSFERS AND GOSSIP Fernando Torres has warned Liverpool's owners that the club's top players are ready to quit if manager Rafael Benitez is sacked. (various) Manchester United have been alerted to the availability of defender Willy Sagnol, who has fallen out with his boss at Bayern Munich. (Daily Mail) Chelsea are interested in signing Feyenoord's £9m-rated Dutch forward Royston Drenthe. (Mirror) Tottenham are a £400m target for buyers from Russia and the Far East and could be the next Premier League side to be the subject of a foreign takeover. (Mirror) Former England boss Terry Venables has declared his interest in becoming Republic of Ireland manager. (various) Carson Yeung's takeover of Birmingham looks to be dead after owners David Gold and David Sullivan refused to give him more time to do a deal. (The Sun) Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce has been given until Christmas to turn the struggling club around. (Mirror) Alan Shearer would be keen to step in if Allardyce is sacked. (Guardian) Portsmouth want to sign Stuttgart defender Fernando Meira.

Kid Dynamite 5963 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Harper is about 5 years too late to do anything with his career now. Apparently about 4 seasons ago he had a few clubs after him, including celtic, but he turned them down as he was happy building up his bank balance and living close to his friends and family. I think if hed taken the plunge then he would have a few caps under his belt by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, seeing as England are missing out this summer any future squads will be picked with an eye on 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays a few games when Shay is out or rested for cup games, gets dropped when Shay comes back and then it appears in the rumours section he wants to leave.
