German Midfielder A Wise Move?

The 70-times-capped Frings is looking for a Premiership club, but being the wrong side of 30, the Chronicle suggests "he is unlikely to arrive at St James's Park".

Frings' agent spoke to United executive director of football Dennis Wise yesterday and offered him the 31-year-old Werder Bremen star, who can operate anywhere across midfield.

Why Wise should make the decision rather than Kevin Keegan is a little worrying, but who are we to argue?

The Chronicle claims Frings' people did not receive much encouragement from Wise, and are now "looking to offload their man to Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger having lost Mathieu Flamini and now Alexander Hleb".
