[Beefy 1965]

Think Livermore would be a decent acquisition. Good athlete, box to box and can play a bit too. Broke into a very decent Spurs team a few years back and was bought by Hull when they were splashing the cash on big names. He's done a good job for them for years and even did a job at centre half this season to cover their paper thin squad. My main concern would be with his previous off the field problems, rather than his ability - hopefully that's all behind him though.

On the subject of Pulis buying midfielders, who would've thought Steven N'Zonzi, once a Pulis signing for Stoke would've become the player he is now. Really bossing games for Sevilla these days and one of the most sought after midfielders in Europe.

Not saying it's ok to take drugs but with two young girls myself I can fully understand why

Jake Livermore will return to training with Hull City on Thursday after being told he will NOT face a ban despite testing positive for cocaine.

Failing an in-competition drugs test for a Class A drug carries a maximum punishment of a two-year suspension.

However, the 25-year-old England international turned to the drug as he tried to cope with the death of his new-born son and, in an unprecedented step, an independent Football Association commission has determined that was an overwhelming mitigating factor in their decision not to ban the player.
