LMAO great goal from Kalou! Torres must be bricking it now..

Please tell me that's not Gary Neville on commentary......

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a loophole they can exploit. Maybe someone here knows..

City are in a better position to be honest. Since they're owned by a royal family member (forgotten his name) he can give his brother a call. His brother. The one who owns Etihad. Etihad. The company mainly sponsoring Manchester City. See where I'm heading?

Jose Bosingwa out.

Right you are Term! Can't imagine their fans will be too happy.

Yep! Good signs for the Financial Fair Play rules

Kakuta's been praised by his u20 France coach today for his loan spell at Fulham http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6885925,00.html "Gael has been ill, but it is good to see him playing more again now for Fulham." - This explains a lot.

Media-image rights is a very lucrative business. Players have become instant brands so this will generate a lot of revenue!

Maybe we only have a stake in 1 or 2 of the players. I presume we'd have "first call" on others.

It's since emerged, the team in question, is Getafe. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/909448/la-liga-side-to-be-renamed-team-dubai-after-takeover?cc=5739 I find that name hilarious!

I suppose, but this is crazy. We'll have more Brazilians than anyone now Alex, Ramires, Luiz, Paizon, Wallace.. - Maybe it's all an elaborate plan to attract Neymar

To be fair though, Pato was an extraordinary talent when they bought him off the bat.

It is mate. Right at the same time as the senior's game!

I just remember when I last mentioned it, it was to you haha

Oops - Corrected Agree with the rest of your post too there FB!

Happy Birthday!

LMAO hopefully not

Many will remember (particularly Madmax) I always blamed the size of the squad for the failures, back in November. I actually think with a bigger, more dynamic squad, Carlo can bring success back to us. However that, of course, involves him getting more say in transfers. We don't actually know if he's involved or not, Wilkins said he'd wanted Torres since last summer, so who knows. But I do think Carlo, with a larger squad, can achieve success.

The title's somewhat misleading about the actual content of the article. I solely believe though, this has all been over-analysed. Media fails to understand the importance of confidence in a footballer, try playing a competitive game when you know things aren't going well and people are criticising you left, right and centre. Torres is showing his sharp instincts, deft touch and immense finishing ability. Slowly, but surely, Carlo is bringing him out of his shell, his disallowed goal on Saturday demonstrated this very well. Like the commentator (on my replay) said, if it hadn't been ruled offside, everyone would be complimenting the quick touch & finish. Let's not forget the superb volley he struck into the top corner from the D during the United first leg - Ruled out because of a little push in the penalty area, which replays show was on our own player! In recent days and weeks we've seen Torres smile more and more when he's coming on and playing for us. His body language is shifting to a more positive outlook. When he scores that first goal we'll celebrate more than we did for Ramires! On a separate note, I find it highly ironic that United fans can criticise us when Berbatov's debut season went along similar lines to this..

Welcome Now find Lukaku and tell him to sign with us

LMAO I thought it was a Chicken. ..stupid Yids.

A great story published by the Daily Mail tells of how John Terry has saved his childhood club Senrab with an undisclosed donation which should keep the sunday-league outfit alive for a good few years! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1378695/England-Chelsea-captain-John-Terrys-cash-donation-saves-childhood-club-Senrab.html?ITO=1490
