This weeks collection of rumours includes the following:

* Gianluca Vialli has held preliminary talks with Watford about replacing Graham Taylor as manager at Vicarage Road in the summer.

* Alan Shearer is likely to require more surgery and a six-month lay-off after hearing he will need another scan on his injured knee.

* Tottenham are keen to end Tore Andre Flo's Scottish exile by bringing the £12million former Chelsea forward back to the PL from Rangers.

* Sunderland are favourites to land Everton's £7m-rated Francis Jeffers, although the Wearsiders did rule out Everton's suggestion of a swap deal for Kevin Phillips (!).

* The Mackems are also rumoured to have resurrected their interest in Anderlecht's giant, Jan Koller, who has inisted he has not signed any agreement with Fulham.

* Sol Campbell will leave Tottenham in the summer. The England defender will tell the club's owners ENIC of his intention not to sign a new deal this week, following the club's failure to qualify for Europe via the FA Cup.

* Glenn Hoddle is keen to make Romanian playmaker Constantin Galca his first signing at Spurs. The 29-year-old Espanyol midfielder is available on a free transfer at the end of the season.

* Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is eager to recruit Romanian international Mirel Radoi as a replacement for Tony Adams. The Steaua Bucharest player would cost the Gunners £5.5m.

* Newcastle are lining up a summer bid for Roma's Japanese playmaker Hidetoshi Nakata.

Where are we gonna find £15m from to sign Nakata? Im sick of Robson and his obsession with right wingers Gavilan Solano Dyer

As well as Cordone, Gallacher, Lua Lua and Stuey Green who can play there too.

FULLBACKS BOBBY

This season has been embarrasing Boro have been a joke and have been involved in a relagation fight for most the year, and they are F-O-U-R P-O-I-N-T-S B-E-H-I-N-D U- S Beating the maKems wont gloss over this either like.

Actually, I reckon beating the Mackems would gloss over anything and everything Toony, however irrational that might be.

I thought Nakata was an attacking midfielder, and that the reason he wasn't in the Roma side is because he's being kept out by Totti. As the for the right wingers you named I reckon Nobby will be on his way in the summer, shame as on form and without 'distractions' he's world class. I don't think Gavilan has developed quite as well as they'd hoped so I can see us cutting our losses on him and sending him back to Paraguay for a nominal fee. Keiron, I don't think he's a right winger, well to be honest I don't think ANYONE knows what Kieron's best position is but we've missed him these past few weeks, we've been really predictable. So, in a nutshell if Nobby and Diego go then we may have to look for a right sided player.

Solano should go, no doubt about it, £5m sounds ok, not spectacular but better than nothing.

Gavilan should be given a chance for the rest of the season. If it doesn't work out, fine, at least we gave him a chance.

Ideally, I'd like to see Dyer on right wing, where he is more dangerous, and can also defend, giving greater balance to the team.
