A selection of players and football boots catching the eye during the weekend's Premier League and European football. Our keen boot spotters found some brand new football boots on show, players changing their boots and some players who prefer to wear their old football boots...

EMMANUEL ADEBAYOR (Man City)
Adebayor joined a host of F50 wearers, including team-mate Shaun Wright Phillips, in wearing the new scarlet colourway. And as these are a Champions League boot, they are clearly a signal of Adebayor's intent and Manchester City's ambitions.

FERNANDO TORRES (Liverpool)
A sight that will have cheered up every Liverpool fan, as Fernando Torres made his long-awaited return from injury this weekend. Liverpool's leading man came off the bench against Manchester City, and was wearing the white/obsidian Laser III football boots.

THIERRY HENRY (Barcelona)
Up until now we've only seen Ryan Giggs wearing the new Instante Pro football boots, but these boots do look classy on the pitch as proven by latest wearer Thierry Henry. The French striker even managed to hit the back of the net wearing his new boots against Racing Santander.

DANNY MURPHY (Fulham)
This season Danny Murphy has been switching between the Total 90 range, and after he wore the Laser III football boots last weekend, we thought maybe the midfielder had settled on a new boot. But he surprised all of us this weekend, by not just switching boots but also range.

PAUL SCHARNER (Wigan Athletic)
Scharner had previously worn the Puma v-Konstrukt football boots, but as that range of Puma power boots has been replaced by the PowerCat, Scharner has joined the likes of Bacary Sagna and Michael Carrick by switching his boots.

JOSEMI (Mallorca)
The most interesting boot spot of the weekend was ex-Liverpool player Josemi. The right-back, currently playing for Mallorca, wore a customised pair of adidas Predator X football boots, which look to be a white/black colourway.

TOM HUDDLESTONE (Spurs)
Huddlestone has yet to settle on a pair of boots this season, he has worn both Nike T90 Laser II and Nike CTR360 Maestri football boots. But this weekend was the first time Huddlestone has worn the new Laser III football boots, so it'll be interesting to see what he makes of the boots, whether he continues to wear them.

MICHAEL BALLACK (Chelsea)
The new Champions League Predator X football boots were debuted by Michael Ballack in the Premier League this weekend, and we must say the blue colourway matched his Chelsea home strip particularly well.

SCOTT PARKER (West Ham United)
Scott Parker wore a blacked-out pair of Nike T90 Laser II football boots, so we're assuming the combative midfielder is not an endorsed player. Although perhaps he could buy his own pair and make the switch as it seems Amr Zaki has done.

PHIL NEVILLE (Everton)
Phil Neville had a great game against his old club, and even made a crucial challenge on Wayne Rooney who was through one-on-one with the goalkeeper. And it was interesting to see that Neville wears the new adiPure III football boots, whilst his brother Gary opts for the Predator X boots.

JASON ROBERTS (Blackburn Rovers)
The true blue Predator PowerSwerve football boots are quite an old boot now, but they are still a great match for the Blackburn kit and a great choice by Jason Roberts.
