Football FanCast columnist Daniel Lomax thinks that Ronaldinho should think carefully about his next move and hopes his sole motive is not money, but to find the right club to revitalise his fledging career.

Whatever has happened to the extraordinary talent that Ronaldinho held? The former World Player of the Year's career has taken a severe nose dive since that year in 2004 where he beat off stiff competition from the likes of Thierry Henry and Andrei Shevchenko to the accolade.

Football FanCast columnist Daniel Lomax looks at the runners and riders to replace Carlos Queiroz at Manchester United.

With news that Carlos Queiroz has been named Portugal boss to replace Luiz Felipe Scolari, who will be his replacement? United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will have to act quickly if he is to get Manchester United off to a flyer in the forthcoming campaign, with United's pre-season currently in turmoil. Surely Ferguson will have a replacement in mind already, one that will have undoubtedly already been approached, but who would be the ideal candidate?

Football FanCast columnist Daniel Lomax feels that Michael Carrick has been the catalyst to Man United's recent success and fails to understand why he constantly fails to get the recognition he deserves.

If you think over previous decades, certain players have had a massive influence on their respective clubs. Whether they are produced in England or imported from elsewhere, individuals have to chance to implement their own styles of play on the way their team performs.

Football FanCast columnist Daniel Lomax reflects on what has been a fantastic season for Manchester United and feels that the secret of their success was not only the scintillating form of Cristiano Ronaldo but that of Rio Ferdinand.

Reflecting on what has been a fantastic Premier League campaign for Manchester United, which players have been the most impressive? Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo has been in sensational form over the last nine or ten months and has rightly recieved the plaudits, however I believe one man deserves just as much credit and who has become our own Captain marvel.

Football FanCast columnist Daniel Lomax continues his search into the Premier League's unsung players and today's focus is on Arsenal's understated midfielder Alexander Hleb.

Many teams over the years have relied on inspirational superstars. A few names spring to mind: Cantona at Manchester United, Henry at Arsenal and Gerrard at Liverpool. But every team requires someone that keeps them ticking over, that holds them together like glue. One of these players is Arsenal's Belarusian midfielder; Alexander Hleb.

Football FanCast columnist Daniel Lomax continues his search into the Premier League's unsung players and today's focus is on Everton's understated Leon Osman.

Many players within the Everton squad have proved to have had a successful season as the club have been battling it out with neighbours Liverpool for that final Champions League spot. Spaniard Mikel Arteta has been outstanding along with England international Joleon Lescott but the one player that has been an unsung hero is Leon Osman.
