He's man of the match for me. Not been a classic game it must be said but he's been pretty good.

Man of the match for me tonight.

Mexico drag teams down to their level..they Don't have the flair players but quite sound defensively.

Oscar having more of the ball now but not at his best with his passing and movement so far.and as I type that he's coming off...maybe he's tired at last.

Oscar not having much of the ball.seem to not be the same team when he's not setting the tempo.

Since when have players been signed in the order of priority? Glen Johnson was the first signing Roman paid for... We Don't have 3 of him atall. We have players that can also play on the LW. None of which can play in every attacking position like him.

That nose must be broken.oddly enough I've broken my nose 3 times and it never bled.which made me a little scared for David at first with the amount it bled but seems o.k. now. I do think they need to sub him off tho if it continues to bleed...not quite Terry Butcher or Glen Hoddle in those infamous England games style bleeding but not good having blood flowing on a player.

Looks like David has broken his nose tonight in the game with Mexico. Wonder if he'll wear a Zorro mask now...

worth watching for Oscar alone..everything else is just a free bonus. I love watching Oscar play..he oozes class.

I've noticed that too.Don't think I've seen him go on any crazy runs for Brazil. Be interesting to see how Jose plays him..jose may be defense first but Ricky used to like to bomb forward from time to time,which I'm sure was something Jose gave him license to do...he just didn't try to dribble it out from the back,instead he would sometimes join in with counter attacks.

More of a Spurs legend having won a few cups with them but decent player on his day for us. He became a London taxi driver after his playing days for a while..think he may be a coach now.

Yes he's jewish.

I smell fear..fear of the media ,fear of failure,fear of the number 50 and fear of Belgium's World cup chances. Not saying we should spend 50 plus million on Cavani or any striker for that matter..tho definitely do think we need a striker and to offload Torres.

Got a bit of a Pet Shop Boys thing going on...Gerbils run for your lives!!!

Would be good to get him and De Rossi.play them together when we want to lock up shop.but otherwise he can be De Rossi's deputy for 3 or 4 years then take over.

well I did say by my fellow old skoolers..he retired in '94.

Mal Donaghy. Will be remembered by my fellow old skoolers.

I hope we get De Rossi and Van Ginkel instead,with the money it would take to get Witsel. De Rossi and Oscar to be the starters and Van Ginkel as depth.

PSV want Bruma apparently and Bruma apparently wants PSV so we could perhaps strike a player plus cash deal with them. Tho due to our relationship with Vitesse getting Van Ginkel appears easier for us. I'd be very happy with either one.both very good young Central Midfielders. Van Ginkel reminds me of Ballack when he plays for Vitesse.the way he drives forward on attacks..if he grows to become even 70% like our old German master I'd be delighted with him. Really miss being able to watch Ballack playing for us...

And to think,around this time last year some on here were arguing with me about us paying too much for him and saying we should wait till he's more proven and others saying we already have Mata and Hazard,why are we signing him...haha we would have to pay out 45+m if we waited till now.

out of all the players that get tagged world class Hulk is the worst I've seen in recent years. I'll support him if we signed him naturally...spend too much following Chelsea all over Europe to be a cunt. We already got the best Brazilian in Oscar tho..

I'm not passionate about Mikel staying or leaving. I feel so alone..

" The magic comes when you least expect" not exactly something I've heard to describe any great centerback that just can't be sold at any price.

It's extremely debatable between him being our best CB ,our worst defender or not even a defender at all but a DM ...like most who have said they would accept the bid including myself the fee of 45m would have a lot to do with it.

But we can't improve till we offload players is Fernando's point.not understanding my point that we can't afford to wait as our target's will be long gone by then.
