Welsh Player News (and rumours) 17th August 2010 (Premier League)

Ryan Giggs wants to manage Manchester United or Wales. I know which one I’d prefer.

Michael Owen thinks he’ll be playing for another five years. And if Manchester United continue to use him sparingly, he could well be right.

Cardiff City would love to sign Craig Bellamy but unfortunately the rumours aren’t true. I have heard he’s training with Cardiff but I’ve also heard he’s not and even if he is it might not be because he’s about to sign for them. Confused? I think everyone is.

Steve Morison wants to stay at Millwall. And why not, they are top of the Championship.

Ryan Shawcross must be feeling lonely. Anyway, he'd like some more team-mates at Stoke City. Ryan feels Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Jody Craddock tackle on Kenwyne Jones was unnecessarily strong. Some will talk of pots and kettles but maybe Ryan just knows a lot about tackles.

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has warned Chelsea to keep their hands off goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. I don’t know if they’ll pay any attention though.

Contrary to what was suggested in certain headlines, David Jones doesn’t think his excellent goal entitles him to a better contract. But he’s holding out for one all the same. And good luck to him. All footballers earn ridiculous wages but David should be one of the top earners at the club. And I’m not just saying that because he’s eligible to play for Wales.
