Welbeck for Blackpool

This seems a great move for the lad to me, if true, a seasons loan in the premier league will give him a good years experience and show us if he really has what it takes. Of course Fergie will have to disappoint his son, but that's football. I would seriously think about sending Macheda on loan for at least the first half of next season as well, preferably to a premier league club.

It make sense, in fact it's almost certainly the best startegy for the long term health of the club. Let's see the next quarters results, if this set were not great what are the next sets going to be like. I think we all know.

Vidic has been in the headlines for Serbia for recent days, but we have heard nothing over his future at United. Hopefully that is good news and there is nothing to wory about, but with Mourinho now in Madrid and all the rumours last year linking the big Serb with a big money move there will it stay that way. Watching Ferdinand holding his groin in the second half against Japan and confirming me in my belief that there is no way he will play in every game this summer, you have got to hope so. I still believe Ferdinand will not play any more games in the premier league next season than he has the season past.

Henry Winter discusses the Lampard Gerrard conundrum. I suppose they could work with a holding midfielder behing them in a midfiled three. There wouldn't be much creativity in that team though would there.

Vic Marks writes that Middlesex bowler Steve Finn who took 9 wickets against Bangladesh in the last test is here to stay. He is a big guy who gets some bounce alright.

Stephanie Flanders worries about inflation

Anatole Kaletsky isn't worried about inflation he is worried about economists not learning the lessons of the credit crunch that their old monetarist models have failed.

Larry Elliot writes along the same lines. We must innovate and find what actually works in the real world not in the prejudices and mathematical world of pre credit crunch world.

Polly Toynbee is sorry that david Laws had to resign the way he did, but not that he is out of the cabinet. I can't argue with any of that and the last sentence is totally on the money.

I am certain he will cross the floor to the tories at some time.
