The Skipper

Because he's playing in a position that limits what he does best. Oscar needs to play centrally.

What the fuck does CP3's supposed preference have to do with anything he said? You can't paint every one who's the same skin colour as CP3 with the same brush. You can't automatically assume that all black people only prefer black players. Do you honestly think black people prefer Ba to Torres simply because he's black? That's the most fucked up and retarded thing I've ever read on here. What he said was actually credible. Do you seriously think people wouldn't get offended over a dumb statement like that? Does being black automatically void anyone's opinion on a black player? Get the fuck out man.

Widely reported that we offered him a year but he wanted 2.

Sky are just quoting The Sun like everyone else.

@CHOULO19, I'm interested, how the fuck do you say your name? Is it [Choolow] or [Chowlow]? Please let us know.

Wasn't it Mourinho who discovered this first though?

Quite funny how Mourinho had Wenger all figured out.

Premier League Team's Record Vs Jose Mourinho's Chelsea [click]. Interesting to know that no team other than Middlesborough beat us more than once under Mourinho and only 9 out of 23 clubs managed to get a win against us. What a record.

Good luck pal, hang in there and work hard.

They aren't, but they are the most important thing to a football club, to players and the fans. I was at Villa Park when Lampard scored his 203rd and I was obviously delighted, one of my best away days so far, but overall, in general, trophies are more important to me. Regardless, it doesn't mean you should call the club a joke. It sounds like you hate everything about the club and that's why you're touching nerves.

Falcao is still the most lethal finisher on the planet in my opinion but I never wanted him here. Good luck to him, but this now narrows the field for us and allows us to focus on strikers that are more suited to us i.e. Cavani or Lewandowski.

10 years, 11 trophies. Deal with it.

El Fenomeno.

No. I'd take far more satisfaction in actually beating decent teams.

Torres back to Pool if this happens?

I might be alone in this but I actually want to see him stay in the PL. We need competition in this league, it's what makes it so great. Besides, Suarez's persona suits Liverpool to a tee. Both scumbags.

Could you please link me to these sources? De Rossi has come out numerous times against stuff like racism, violence between Lazio etc. If he really was racist it would be better known and better documented as he is a global footballing icon. A quick google search brings up nothing whatsoever. I seriously think you're just stirring the pot here.

Not the Barcelona fans I know. Most think he's Xavi's heir. He mostly comes on for Xavi or starts ahead of him.

What? --- (ANSA) - Rome, June 8 - AS Roma and Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi and Milan's Jewish community came out in support of Mario Balotelli Friday after racist hate sites seized on news that his adoptive mother has Jewish roots. "We are shocked," said Daniele Nahum, vice president of the Milan Jewish Community. "Cases of this sort in the past year are numerous. We say enough with these sites that should be shut down". The 21-year-old forward, who has Ghanaian roots, was on the Azzurri's pre-tournament visit to Auschwitz when it emerged that his Italian adoptive mother has Jewish roots. Racist blogs said "as well as a ni**er, he's a Jew too". Balotelli said in a recent interview with France Football magazine that he would walk off the pitch if he is racially abused at Euro 2012, amid concerns about possible violence and racism at the tournament in Poland and Ukraine that kicks off Sunday. "We haven't spoken about it yet," said De Rossi, "but if something happens we need to all be united in defence of Mario and (Angelo) Ogbonna," a centre back of Nigerian decent. Italy coach Cesare Prandelli, who has said Italy will stop playing during Euro 2012 if Balotelli is subjected to any monkey chants, said the anti-Semitic incident "isn't even worthy of a response".

No, nono. It's actually at €5m. €30m + Torres == €30 - €25m = €5m. Napoli would be retarded to take that. Unfortunately for us they're not, even if they might have The Waiter as their manager.

Hardly a battle...

29. Just like De Rossi.

Just because he loves Rome doesn't mean he doesn't want to experience a new challenge before his career finishes. The deal isn't is as unlikely as you're making it out to be. De Rossi might have an ambition to test himself out in the PL.

AVB's only 35 mate!

Hate Ian Holloway but this makes it quite tolerable.
