LDN Blue

This would allow Mata to take up his natural no.10 spot though. Also nulls Malouda's chances of getting some appearances.

Remember not to sacrifice his form if you do that

And if Terry is found guilty by the courts? Would you still back his captaincy? When there's, beyond doubt, proof?

Chelsea want Krasic Delighted.

Setanta claim City are in poll position.

Can we bring back the option of selecting whether we want our posts shown to be edited or not? Or at least make it a bit more subtle, it's quite the eyesore on posts .Also, Jim, any luck on alignment-bug?

Make it or break it, now? So he does come in use.. sometimes.

If King's out, we have a massive advantage.

We're not the leader of a global brand like Chelsea nor are we the captain of our national football team - One of the most popular in the world. It's like making Joey Barton the face of Chelsea & England. It sends out the wrong message. They are not role models after these actions.

I can still understand why they're reluctant to loan him out.. He's still raw, but he does need it.

Come on Warnie, you sound like Graham Souness now. André was the most sought out young manager in the world! Liverpool, Roma & Inter were all scouting him and making an approach before we got in, that says a lot about his quality. He didn't just win the Europa & Portuguese league in a dull 1-0-each game kind of way. He did with an attacking flare, a style that made Porto fans very happy to watch.. A big change from their old regime. I know this, because one of my co-workers was a huge Porto fan.. He was very angry when André left.

Worrying to think we haven't had a reliable right-back since Melchiot.

Exactly Sam. I reckon he will put in a transfer request if we attempt to loan him out again..

True, but this is an -almost certain- United bound player

Well Rossell Sandro hasn't denied the story, and has said it would be 'interesting'.

Ah.. Pity.

I'd think André will go with Bosingwa - Iva.

£7million... Hmm, it's not the worst deal in the world I guess.

Was PvA's loan short-term?

Then he clearly thinks it's not something racist and just complained because Red Nose told him to..

What I don't understand is.. Why hasn't Suarez's case been referred to the police either?

I share your worries - To an extent. I think Lampard was severely misquoted, because he did say he understood why he was being left out. Typical Daily Fail reporting with him. I personally don't really mind that they're being left out, it's the fact we have no-one to replace them. If we did, and they made a difference, enabling us to win most games, no-one would flick an eyelid. Mikel's been replaced with Romeu. Lampard hasn't.. Yet.

Exactly. It was stupid of him, incredibly stupid. Now he has to pay for his mistakes, which we must accept.. Again, if he's found guilty.

That's what I mean.. He did say it, but in the context that's not meant to be racist. Fact is, he shouldn't be saying that, so openly with cameras watching him. Silly. Ugh.. This will affect us, in tomorrow's performance. We know this much to be true.

They've got quite a few videos, and he did say it. Though he explained the context was different to the way it's been interpreted. Anyway, another month or so more of this b/s being dragged out. I wish they'd ban him now and just sentence him to time-served - This will definitely get in the way of us trying to get on with the football!
