Kostas

Best of luck to him. Shame it didn't work out. Could easily have been a high level player had it not been for his injuries.

As far as I'm concerned this is as good as I've seen Torres play for us.

Sturridge!!!!!!

Who are they trying to impress with this shit?

He can fuck off right now if he plans on more similar pathetic interviews. Talk about ruining your transfer with a few quotes..

Did Brana pick a knock?

Looks very nice, some of the new features will make my life easier. The forum looks cleaner but I think the colour balance was better in the previous skin. If you accept bug reports, the countdown bar loses its place after a certain level of zooming.

Over 80 points in the league, if that translates into 3rd or 4th so be it. Anything >85 would qualify as a success. Semis in either the FA Cup or the League Cup. Going out on penalties is acceptable Champions League quarter finals, Semis would be a nice bonus. Perform acceptably against the team that knocks us out, dominate the teams that we knock out. Can't say I'm staggered by any of our current players and since picking a defender would be too easy I'll have to go with Drogba.

Welcome aboard. So...is he Muslim?

Forgot to mention after watching the U20 game that France's kit looks even better than in photos (including this) in matches and in stores. Probably as good as a football kit gets.

SeB, ulsterChelsea and laura90 are the "new" members that have recently caught my eye. Terminator X, zolayes and killamanjaro of the reputable posters for the past month.

Doesn't sound like one to kick Mikel out of the team.. How are those connected? I mean except from them being professional football players.

The Barcelona site descibes him as a rough-tackling midfielder whose main attributes are stamina and power, must admit that's not what I expected when we signed a Barcelona midfielder. Still our squad is terribly short of midfielders and as long as he plays more frequently than eg Sturridge at that age he will definitely benefit us. Welcome to Chelsea Oriol Romeu.

I've read that Liverpool are going to pay part of Jovanovic's wages at Anderlecht, if that deal was ever going to affect Lukaku's future it now seems unlikely.

Looks a bit better than I expected. Now, having seen all of them worn I can confidently say this is our worst set of kits in the last 10 years.

Around 12 months ago people were saying that he was the best "super-sub" in England over the likes of Chicharito. While I'm not one to get on the Mexican's bandwagon it doesn't get any simpler than what BLionheart said, he wouldn't get into most teams in the league as they wouldn't pay him what he gets here to be their first striker. And no, I'm not going to get into arguing stats about whether managers liked him or not or about his "tremendous" appearances/goals ratio. A decent memory or a simple search and could convince anyone having doubts. Complimenting his effort and saying "he's not world class/the fastest/the best but..." is as good as an argument about such a player is going to get.

Must have missed that, when was it? My issues are mostly with his ability rather than his attitude. His attidute was frequently used in his defence so seeing TX turning that against him is quite funny.

Seriously you might as well link to one of TC's thread if you gotta post crap like that.

Will this replace the "he doesn't complain" argument?

Someone who tries way to hard to go against the common sense opinion?

His career is on a freefall. Few could achieve going from the champions of England to their irrelevant neighbors and relegation candidates in 14 months.

They're now allergic to silverware

A meeting about transfers? We still do those?

I just can't agree with that. They may have improved over what was the simply worst ManUtd side in over 10 years.
