LDN Blue

A genius when he had the right attitude. Unfortunately that was seldom..

Well Zhirkov is a Hiddink singing. Hiddink convinced him when manager of Russia and that's the reason he chose to sign, wouldn't surprise me at all if he stays.

It appears Marco Silva's right.. Apparently the deal is £21million + Addons.

Because he got like a ton of abuse from everyone, calling him a crock

Terry defends Lampard

Well that's what we hope anyway! If the deal is true he'll only do the job for a year then move up to DoF then that may create problems for that particular coach. Usually such deals cause strains on managers if they do not get a long so hopefully this part is not true. I'd like Hiddink to coach us for at least 3-5 season.

I think you forgot your

I hope it turns out like Stephen Ireland. He did the same, it went wrong, hence the shaved head.

after all that! I guess it's a good solution for everyone. He's still young. Though if Neymar & Lukaku are staying put.. Dare we now go for Aguero? LOL Edit: Oh you

Wilshere + Rodwell + McEachran + Henderson would be a dream come true. 4 English players & the future England midfield. Like I say.. A dream come true.

Michael Essien: One loyal friend Instead of snubbing one for the other. Essien will play in Kanu's testimonial match then catch an instant flight to France (From Ghana) to get to Drogba's wedding the day after!

Yeah but still. I just don't think he'd perform for us, if he leaves it should be abroad, as a player it's better for him. I hope not. He's a fantastic player, but won't work for us to be honest.

Carlo Ancelotti to take a year out of football. So he won't be Villa manager either http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11668_6968149,00.html

Okay he's not finished, but he's not in a good state of mind and a prolific transfer to rivals won't do that any better! It's too high risk to buy him from Arsenal. Look what happened with Torres, the transfers play on these players' minds. Right kind of player to be looking for but not this one specifically.

Really hoping these Fabregas rumours aren't true! He's washed out now..

It's an interesting theory, yet it remains to be seen if they're right. If it means we, in return, get some German talent then fine. However I think this is more of a case of Arnesen just making some signings for Hamburg to make himself look like an instant success

To be honest, I don't think he suits their style, will his arrival at Barca see Pedro pushed out? If they do sign him, we should try for Bojan.

Rooney gets a hair transplant

Rather we went to Barcelona than United :champions:

Here's an interesting stat.. BluesChronicle Dan Levene Alleged compensation paid: Ranieri £4m; Mourinho in £1.7m; Mourinho out £18m; Grant £5.5m; Scolari £12.6m; Ancelotti £6m. Total £47.8m.

I'm more annoyed we're not going after Ashley Young. He's perfect. Can play on both wings, can shoot, can cross, can run. Perfect. Why the hell don't we sign a player like him?!

We probably will pay the compensation.. Hiddink must've been contacted by the club by now, or else he'd have committed to Turkey.

The Damned United has been heavily criticised though. Many think it shows Clough in a negative light and in a way he never came across anyway, especially with the drinking and things like that. I remember his son didn't like it at all. It's the same with Munich. The one they showed a few months ago about the Munich Air Disaster, they said Busby was portrayed in a horrible way and there were calls to boycott watching it, again his family hated it.

Turkish FA expect Hiddink to leave http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13665584.stm

Any links to him?
