appreciate the info @Rousseau. So nobody is going to be watching this then on a PPV boxing channel and C5!! It might get interesting once all the diddy teams are eliminated after the groups and it comes down to Europe v South America as always.

Kick-offs look to be 02:00, 17:00, 20:00 and 23:00, so two or three are UK-friendly. Broadcast rights for all games are held by DAZN (subscription required), but Channel 5 have a deal to show some of the games.

At last they’ve found a use for the NEH it’s going to be a retirement home for over the hill footballers

We'll just have to wait and see what the squad looks like in September. Building good foundations should be the current priority.

Well, you are right. The obvious answer is that you need quality veterans who have seen it all, some experienced middle-age guys, and the young guns (like Raskin, Igamane, Cortes), who hone their skills and can be sold for cash. I don't mind a sane old head like Defoe or Davis, and obviously, age of players vs ability is nowadays a bit difficult to determine. I'd be somewhat sceptical of a Vardy in Scotland, but he knows everything a striker needs to know and has the mettle too.

Eriksen is a big no for me, we've been a retirement home to enough players that would be 'good enough for up here' thank you very much.

Coady, 32 Eriksen, 33 Vardy, 38 Transfer speculation and the mythical Player Trading Model

Cant say this is getting the juices flowing at all. Dont even know where it is being held or what if any channels are showing it. Are KO times going to be UK friendly? It will be interesting to see what knock on effect this tournament has on the top Euro sides league and CL form (and player injuries) next season given they are not getting any summer break this year to take the FIFA wedge.

Rangers are considering a move for Christian Eriksen, 33, on a free transfer ahead of his imminent departure from Manchester United, according to former Old Trafford assistant manager Mick Brown. (Football Insider) Well, I can't see it, but he would obviously be the calm head in our creative/attacking midfield department. Likewise, he won't have to run that much, so pace is not important.

The managers will be dreading this pointless exercise, risking their "superstars" for more glamour trash, while their summer break is being cut short. Alas, most of these teams don't have to deal with CL qualifiers in early July ... That said, it might be an interesting thing to see how MLS and South American sides play these days. Ulsan HD will obviously smash them all, and we sign their right-winger - whoever it is!
