Don't see how that has anything to do with Ramires.Quote a post where I have unfairly criticized Ramires' performances/abilities before you make a fool out of yourself.

A "Happy Birthday" from me as well !

Rejected bids for Begovic, Luiz, Neymar and probably Lukaku. And that's just in 2010. No wonder we can get players only by overpaying for them. Anyone responsible for our transfer deals should be shot, in the head.

£10m for a 17 year-old winger?! He better be the second coming of Garrincha.

That Barcelona kit can't be real, where's the sponsor from Qatar? Arsenal's kit looks ridiculous.

A ground share will could massively cut the building cost and if QPR's owner is as rich as they say it has the possibility to cut the cost in half. However if QPR get promotion and manage to build a top 10 side it will be a pain in the ass for everyone. Seaching wiki I found that there was a rumour of QPR wanting a ground share with Fulham, if they are really desperate we might get the upper hand in the design and development of the ground thus making it less lifeless it typically would be.

True, but during the WC I had a chance to witness the decline everyone was talking about. He was as atrocious as Ronaldinho in Germany 2006 and we all know how his career went after that point.. And I probably have a different view of football money than the rest of you. I wouldn't pay 10m for a finished player based on his reputation just like (in hindsight) we shouldn't have wasted even 10m on Sheva.

Kalou isn't even a footballer. Most of the critisism he's gotten is fair,valid and perfectly justifiable after 4 seasons of shit. However knowing his abilities you can hardly blame him cause he rarely underperforms. Think Badboy was drunk in that thread though.

Malouda.

They were never members of our squad, they just wasted 4 months of their development on the bench.

Could be nothing more than a twitter rumor but I think it's worth discussing: Although White City makes sense location-wise I doubt the club would really want to invest in long term ground share. On the other hand there's the example of Allianz Arena.

I know the Malaria excuses have gotten old but you also have to consider his age and the luck he's had. He has hit the post numerous times and I'm sure his confidence has reached unprecedented lows. He's our most overplayed player along with A.Cole, Mikel and Louda and it's evident that age is an important factor as Mikel was affected by it last. Can't argue opinions but from what I remember he was our best player by a landmile in September. His scoring stats might not prove that but he was doing everything, from creating chances out of nothing to converting them.

Marseille President Dassier on Kakuta @ Sky Sports Looks like my crystal ball works

Wrong time to form an opinion about a CFC player. We know what they're capable of and two months won't change that, from Kalou to JT my opinion of them hasn't changed in the slightest.

Take it easy there, my reply was hardly a rant I merely wanted to add that at this point flukes are acceptable. Maybe I should have used more emoticons or something

At this point and after the shit we've endured a win is more than enough for the fans and the players. I'm sure if you could ask our players whether they preferred the brilliant game against Birmingham or this one they would have chosen the latter, in fact they would've probably bitten your hand off. Our "super sub" managed to be awful in the 5 minutes he played? I'm shocked.

So all it takes is 2 good (or even great) games out of 13 to turn valid criticism into slagging?

To his defense all the players that have recently left the star-graveyard that R.Madrid has turned into were very successful at their next club. Van der Vaart looked equally finished and rumors about his attitude were increasing yet now some claim that he was PL's best transfer. Robben, Sneijder, v.Nistelrooy, Samuel or even our very own Makelele followed similar paths. That said, I wouldn't want us to pay even 10m for the Kaka I saw playing at South Africa.

So basically all the Ancelotti critics on here want him to stay in the name of stability or cost-cutting. He could do worse.

With the Sunderland disaster still fresh in my memory I hope Brana's yellow won't make this a Phyrrhic victory like Essien's red against Fulham.

Ray Wilkins was sitting in the Shed Upper.

He would have started nevertheless..It'll be a good move for his career and his development, I hope our board can at least pick the right club for him.

Bruma's agent says in Voetbal International that Bruma will leave Chelsea on loan to an English or German club this winter.

Not looking forward to Paulo Ferreira at CB

Zidane was the best player in the world when he got that transfer, Kaka hasn't looked like himself since 2007.
