Neymar keeps diving and diving like a young Arjen Robben .

Florent scores for Les Bleus, good goal (set-up and finish). 1-1.

Ohh to be a football player.

I don't think he's a Chelsea fan. I think he likes the club and that only/mostly because his favourite player plays at that club (there's a big difference between the two). Yes he is wearing a Chelsea shirt but I bet Drogba's name is on the back and I've seen many people, some of them friends, wearing Chelsea-related items but aren't fans. And he's always been linked with Chelsea yet I remember him saying that joining Real would be a dream come true for him or him recently saying that he wants to join a club in the top three of England.

Exactly. Some people actaully think a young player, fresh from Brazil, will walk in the first team and steal the show. He's not that good (yet) and he will need time to adapt to the Premier League if he joins Chelsea.

Some here are seriously overrating him as a player and are expecting way too much from Greg .

I'm gonna watch the game. Haven't seen him play in a while and this is a good opportunity to see how he performs under (huge) pressure.

No it's not.

Thanks for the schooling but you're wrong: http://www.premierle...2362703,00.html

He never said that though. There's a huge difference between I want to play and I demand/want a starting spot.

Meaning after a while every young player gets tired of sitting on the bench all the time, especially when players like Kalou get a lot more game time and when starters are really underperforming they still don't get to play.

In today's market he is worth 40 mil. But yeah he's not needed.

Lukaku is big and strong with good pace but his technique is terrible. I said it before and I'll say it again, Daniel Sturridge is a better player and has more potential than him.

Everybody looks class compared to Redknapp . Well except for Grant..

But you understand the language? (sorry off-topic, I know)

Are you Portugese eldo?

From what I've seen, he is. Though not on his level (yet) of course.

Hulk has been playing as a true winger the past two years (except for when Falcao was out for a while), cutting in from the right like Robben, and though I'm not an true follower of Lille, Hazard has been the right winger if I'm right (but a midfielder like Nani and Valencia) for Lille the past two years. While Neymar is a left-attacker, comparable to Cristiano Ronaldo at Madrid, and Aguero is a striker, don't know where those 'he can play on the wing' stories come from. He's always been a central striker with the supporting/second striker role being his most natural position though perfectly capable of playing the main striker role. Sanchez would be the best signing ever since Zola. Though it has to be said, he's had his best season in his career playing the 'roaming striker role' (Udinese play a 3-5-2 formation with two very mobile attackers). @MM Don't think Neymar is effective from the right since he would have to go around the fullback, which means him having to cross which is not what he's known for. From his favoured left side, he's more threatning and has more options. Either from the left or as a supporting striker for Neymar (you don't buy a huge talent like him for big money and not play him where he's at his best).

Yes the manager should definitely have some input but sometimes it's a good thing if there's someone at the club that says no. If it wasn't for Villa, Gareth Barry would have gone to Liverpool to replace Xabi Alonso back in '08 (meaning Xabi on the bench for Barry). What was Benitez on when he wanted to make that happen .

He has reached the final of the CL 4 times though .

What does the fact that he's a human being that likes football have anything to do with it ? I don't rate him as a manager, that's all. I don't hate Ferguson, I think he's a great (but annoying) coach. And you being behind Benitez if he were to come here is fine but I wouldn't feel the same.
