Football FanCast guest columnist Jim Bates reacts to the news that David Moyes is considering a third loan move for Manuel Fernandes; a player that completely perplexes him.

If there is one thing that I will praise David Moyes for, during his years in office at Goodison Park, is he has an eye for a bargain. Whether it is raids on the Championship, Bundesliga or whatever country in the World, he seems to find these little gems.

Football FanCast guest columnist Keith Rogers believes that Spurs and Liverpool posses not only the two best strikers in England, but possibly Europe.

Having been a football fan going on 50 years, I can safely say that I am in a better position than most to give my opinion on what makes a good striker. I have been fortunate to see some of the greats like Greaves, Law, Best, Rush, Lineker and Henry - all masters of their craft and some of the greatest finishers World football has ever seen.

Football FanCast guest columnist Gareth Symonds feels it is time that UEFA imposed heavy sanctions in order to prevent clubs making illegal approaches for players.

It is a disease that has spread into the modern game and one that is continually condoned by UEFA. The tapping up of players boils my blood and whilst it is commonly rife in Europe it is has infiltrated its way onto our shores; and like Gary Lineker's tan has no intention of fading away.

Football FanCast guest columnist Cliff Morgan wonders whether the desire to surpass Liverpool's 18 League titles is what is firing the belly within Sir Alex Ferguson.

Where does Sir Alex Ferguson rank among the greats of English football? Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley - all great managers, but surely being a part of the modern day era must set him apart, I mean football has evolved so much in the last 20yrs and become harder, more competitive and comes with greater pressures.

Football FanCast guest columnist George Mahon reacts to David Moyes comments about Leon Osman and wonders why he fails to get the recognition he deserves.

There is no doubting that it has been a fantastic season for Everton and after Villa's 2-0 collapse today has more than assured the Merseysiders of a much deserved 5th place finish.

Football FanCast guest columnist Ged Peters wonders if it's inconceivable that Middlesbrough could be relegated from the Premier League.

If there is one side in the Premier League that has me completely puzzled, then its Middlesbrough football club. On their day brilliant, on another totally average, it must have Gareth Southgate pulling his hair out let alone the supporters.
