I wish I could do that too, but I might have to limit myself to at least 2 matches at home if I can! Maybe the Leverkusen and Genk matches. I've always gone to a European home game every year since 2008!

Yeah exactly... they always get away with it, whereas the likes of Arsenal, and City have to do it the hard way! I wonder if Platini is involved...

I believe we can beat Valencia at the Mestalla! We've done it before... Essien scored a precious winner when we last met over there. Anything is possible... I think we can advance from this group!

He must have forgotten to pick his suit up from the dry cleaners!

haha yeah exactly... except, he's at Atletico Madrid right now!

So it's Juan Mata against his old employers, Ballack against us, and Kevin De Bruyne can show us what he can do if he doesn't move over to us! ..... it's a tough draw, but we've been in tougher draws!

There's a ego I have inside me, telling me that I don't like the look of this group! We've been in worse groups though! City have to face Bayern, I laughed at that

welcome to the forums dude!

might as well close this thread dudes!

Yeah exactly! Benayoun had done more for Chelsea at the most able time he played before his long-term injury than Kalou in 4 years! I don't get why TX has to keep slating him all the time... because he wears number 10, and he ruined Kakuta's development... big deal!! Kakuta has been out on loan at Fulham, and getting vital Premier League experience... okay, not a lot, but a little goes a long way! As for Benayoun! You saw how decent he was in the Asia Cup! He is seriously, partly the reason why Torres has showed his true self nowadays!

Are you aware the astronomical buy out clause for Hulk?? He is in fact £100m... no-one, not even Man City or Anzhi Makachkala would want to pay that much for him!

Sooo, I guess Benayoun will be taking number 16 then... or is he a certain goer this summer??

That quote I like, but I enjoy the quote I posted better because he says that Arsenal doesn't compare with Chelsea!

You've got me thinking about this! I'll come back to this thread and post once I've thought of something!

I have to be bold and agree with you there! I mean, Frank Arnesen is like a dirty snake with us at the moment, stealing a lot of our players. Mancienne, Sala, Tore and now Rajkovic have all gone to Hamburg because of the fact that our youth development in recent years have been non-existant. You tend to question the idea of the likes of signing Piazon because you don't know if he's really going to be a big hit. We signed Di Santo, who everyone said was full of promise, but when he played, he had as much promise as a wet dog turd in a microwave! It's because we rely too much on our current players like Kalou and Anelka, who do fuck all for our club, rather than giving the younger generation a chance!

They only sign these players because they don't want everyone else to sign them. Nasri was linked to United, so I guess City wanted to act fast and not let them sign him!

He's the 1 Serbian with drive, determination, and is made of steel! I like that in our central defenders

I've never heard of this guy in all fairness, and if we can't even sort a work permit out for him, and we're loaning him out to somewhere else that's just rubbing salt in the wounds a little bit!

I'm not at all bothered about how much money we spend on these players, as long as we don't spend too much on the players!

I reckon if we sign Pereira, there is no hope in hell we will get Luka Modric!

"Arsenal and Tottenham were both interested in me, but they do not compare with the blues" That has to be the best quote!!

Hopefully there won't be! Malouda isn't getting any younger, which means Mata can come in and freshen up the left side.. it's just what we need! Seriously... Mata and Sturridge as wingers is the answer ... the Kalouda combination was so last season!

I believe this time last season, TX called Benayoun Kakuta's gravedigger did he not?? I'm not taking sides, but that's what I seem to remember

Stevan Jovetic and Brian May
