Slightly surprised with the line-up.It looks like we're resting some players for Europe.We should be able to handle West Ham. I'd like to see how Kalou and Ivanovic perform today.I'm confident Ramires will have no problem in the midfield.

Ditto,as much as I want the club to treat all injured players and look after them we can not afford ourselves our own Owen Hargreaves. I've done some research and it looks like Bosingwa is on 80,000 pounds per week while Ivanovic is on a 100,000 pounds per week contrac,at lest those were the reports when we signed them.

He obviously meant Zola

I wouldn't be worried about Ivanovic's contract as he's definitely one the club will fight to keep.Kakuta may have not signed a new contract yet but if there's any sense in the people at the club then we'll read about him signing a 4/5year extension in the coming months. Bosingwa is a tricky case as we don't know if he's the same player after that injury,he may be classed as damaged goods and leave us in the summer.He was a Scolari signing and at the moment Ancelotti may consider him being 2nd fiddle. I don't have any info on how much he earns but he would be mad to demand a raise Hilario's contract also runs out.I'm 100% sure that we will not extend it.

I'm torn between the David Villa,Ozil and Balotelli deals.Can't really pick one. Money-wise Mascherano's and Ozil's transfers stand out.

Good to hear Ancelotti saying that Kakuta will get game-time,now I'm more interested seeing him actually doing that.

I've read that this award is a jinx many times but does anyone have actual stats to back that claim? Oh and we've known that the ginger pig would win it since July so there's no use whining about it.

Anyone who looks up to footballers for Role Models should get his head checked. That said like in every job you can find incredible people like Gianfranco and a**holes like Craig Bellamy.

Juni from TheChels.net reports that Kakuta may get a new five-year deal. Link Now, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt, for it's not been corroborated by other sources, and le10sport could just as easily be a dubious one. However, it wouldn't be something that they would report without some foundation, as there would be little to gain by doing so. These reports emerged some four months ago, so naturally there may be questions as to why nothing has been signed yet, but it's important to remember that Gael was away on international duty in July and August after a brief holiday, and then a hectic spell of pre-season with Chelsea where he picked up an injury. Couple all of that with the typically laborious nature of negotiations and things are prone to dragging. It should also be noted though, that Jeffrey Bruma's new deal was announced last week but had actually been agreed some time ago in mid June, so just because it's not been announced doesn't mean there are problems. In short – there's no need to panic. The club are apparently trying to tie down one of their hottest prospects,and that's something we can all get on board with.

It's clearly short-term popularity since Farcelona have almost twice United's and Real Madrid's fans. Still nice to see our club being up there,who would have thought in 97 that we would be ranked higher than AC Milan?

He's a striker

Cheers Good to know that my memory is not totally distorted.

Wasn't Maka supposed to retire in June?

A man talking sense

Nothing new,I'm still waiting for the day JT and Lamps retire from that laughing stock.

The Neymar deal is far from dead,there's no reason to destoy this topic.

Mikel got injured in the Nigeria vs Madagascar game.Several source said that his knee was knocked.I heard he got carried out of the pitch. He also delivered a lob for Nigeria's 2nd goal.

The Anti-Mancs won't let this go easily. Rooney has sold himself as a family man and has made millions off the back off it. Coleen isn't the modern-day Dianna like Cheryl but this will be big.

On a sidenote,JT is still being booed even 8 months after his story broke out,wonder who long will Rooney be booed.Afterall he was crap at the World Cup and told the fans to shut up. This could possibly destroy his public image and harm his Nike and EA Sports deals,look what happened to JT and Tiger Woods.

Don't really care the man can do whatever the hell he likes.The media reception is indeed going to be interesting though.

Boy this is getting nowhere.

I've been reading a few articles about us making a move for the 16 year old Brazilian Felipe Bezerra who plays for ABC Natal,a club in the 3rd Brazilian division. The negotiations are apparently quite advanced and he's likely to join us during the winter transfer window.According to some sources we have made an offer and are waiting for a response from ABC. Porto's scouts were also watching the teenager. Source: 1 2 3 I apologize for the lack of information but I can't find much being 10.000km away from the sources.

Why is David Silva in that team? I had the impression that he has barely played since he arrived. Other than that good to see the usually underappreciated Alex and Lampard make it to the team.
