No. Isn't he made of glass?

No. The way our media fascinate and sensationalise any story they hear. Like the whole corruption story in lead up to our World Cup bid. Did the country's bid no justice with that..

Nothing's changed from his Chelsea-days. Amazed we even got £24million out of him..

Just hope Roman takes a valuable lesson away from this..

He already said he'd rather stay. It's like this, would we rather have a bench-warming Rajkovic, in Hamburg, on our bench.. Or would we rather take a regular playing Bruma, on our bench? Seems unfair on the latter, and I'm sure he'd be quite upset to come back and play that bit-part.

Interesting perspective.. Well put.

I don't think he'd even play

Good to hear.

Mods: Can we merge threads please?

I don't follow them, unfortunately. André saw something in his potential though. I'm sure he will help him, and make him into a very good defender.

He's 22. He's a good prospect.. Can't see the negatives of bringing him back.

Lol.. Sparky knew what he was doing

I'm talking in reference of buying Cahill as replacement Bruma's progressing well at Hamburg, Rajkovic would be good to get back. He looked good for us in pre-season, worked well with Terry.

I hate Monday Night Football (when we're concerned).

But when Alex leaves, we save £7-8million.

Nah you missed the point lol, I was answering the query about 'control'. Not the celebrations themselves.

Ah.. I guess Barcelona did deserve it in the end. Real Madrid did well though, I'm glad there was no fights this time though. A few dodgy moments, like right at the end with Keita.. But it was good to see it was the football that'll write the headlines after this game. Real still have a game in hand.

Indeed. It would make sense, because Villas-Boas spoke highly of him in pre-season, so it would be highly likely we'd as such clause. And if this is a means to get him here, finally, then I'm all for it. Nullifies the need to buy Cahill for £8million (when there's only 6months left on his contract.)

Great half of football. <- Key word there. Hardly any theatrics (minus Alexis Sanchez) & other anti-football ways. Mourinho's tactics have been spot on. Their pressing by Ozil, Benzema and Di Maria, especially, has been fabulous & was the lead up to Benzema's goal. The Sanchez goal was against the run of play imo. Would've ruined the game if Messi got sent off, considering the first yellow was for back-chat.

Is this so wrong? We've complained how players rode on Carlo, Scolari etc. It's about time a manager took a firm grip on this squad.. He's not controlling their celebration, this is silly. He's said to the world, his players & staff celebrate as one unit. There is no division.

No. This was misinterpreted..

Seems he's right! Did anyone know this? According to Wikipedia (I know..) we did a Barcelona & added a buy-back clause into the contract. Chelsea FC.. Did good business?

What, he did?! When?
