Fuck off Harry. He'll ruin our defence superiority in 1 season. From Carlo to Harry is, 1 step forward, 2 back

Approximate translation

Don't forget a.. :541: @ Spurs fans!

Remember though, Mourinho's in charge of transfers now that Valdano's sacked. With his 2 players per position philosophy, he will certainly target Aguero 2 strikers. 2x2 = 4 Higuain, Benzema, Adebayor (?), [vacant].

Valdano sacked by Real Madrid Looks like Mourinho will stay at Real then. No way Florentino Pérez would sack his long-time Real associate unless it's to keep Mourinho.

How things have really changed then Was good seeing Docherty at the Player of the Season Awards! Shows he still deeply cares for the club.

Was he the assistant to Drake? Or just brought in after Drake left?

How reliable is Marco Silva?

Ah, train would be easier for me then I reckon. Now to convince some friends

Now there's a blast from the past! Where you around when he was the actual Chelsea manager?

How much did flights cost?

Good to hear! Thought he'd make it to a big club much earlier, but at least better late than never!

He'll pull the same sort of trick to get Platini elected when Blatter has to step down..

You guys misunderstand me here. In Mourinho's mind, Higuain is the premier striker. He can do fine on his own. Benzema can not. He can not play lone striker, I've watched Real Madrid try and it's not pretty. That's why Ade was drafted in, because Mourinho does not play Benzema as a lone striker. He would gladly drop Benzema for Higuain, I guarantee it next season. However if Higuain was to get injured again, he would not play Benzema on his own. Also Max, he was poor when Higuain got injured. He eventually did come to from, but the first 5-10 games, he was awful.

LMAO RG Stadium

How's Diego Alvez doing? Was one of my favourite goal keepers back in the day.

Touche. That's what he said, but I think it goes higher up than that, if you know what I mean. I didn't really follow him with Almeria but I respect him for what he's done at Valencia. After they sold Villa & Silva I thought they'd crumble, they did well to keep on Juan Mata, who could've easily signed for Barcelona. So for him to take them to a 3rd place finish is very commendable considering those 2 big losses to his squad. I don't think he's Chelsea material yet though. I want to see 1 more season from him, he's stayed consistent though, that's a very positive thing.

chelseayouth Chelsea Youth RT @dan_bu: Apparently Chelsea will have option to get Bruma back in 2012. If they don´t take it, HSV will have option to buy him in 2013. chelseayouth Chelsea Youth RT @dan_bu: HSV will sign Chelsea's Jeffrey Bruma on a two-year loan deal in the next few days.

He's out of a job because he quit Season before he guided them to Europa League triumph remember? Benfica were very harsh to him, they only gave him 1 season at the helm, where he'd only lost like 10 games. They should've given him a better chance I think. Pellegrini is not a good choice imo. He's too weak in character, he'd bottle under the egos of players like Drogba and Malouda (should they still be there).

He can't handle big names & egos. Under him Ronaldo was a child. In came Mourinho and you see a new side of Ron. Pellegrini can't keep the dressing room on side & with our team, that's something you need. That's why Hiddink is my selection. He showed he can assert his authority without pissing off the players, he doesn't shout, he's a passive motivator.

Nah, I don't like his management style. Doesn't get the balance right in my opinion, not just talking Real Madrid either. Sanchez is a great coach, quite underrated. Hasn't done that well this season, but a very good coach regardless. He's also quite available right now too.. :eyebrows:

Yeah because he didn't trust Benzema, and he still doesn't.

Anyone got a stream for Essien's Peace Match?

I hope we've never even mentioned his name :\ The only La Liga coach (except Pep & Mourinho) I'd want us linked with is Quique Sánchez Flores
