Duppy Conqueror

Welcome to Chelsea Thibaut Courtois.:blue scalf: looks a good keeper from what i`ve seen of him..and hasn`t long turned 19. a bright future ahead.

i thought he was all but a Bayern player a month or o ago.. i`d take him..there`s Mikel but no geniune good alternatives at DM so bring him in..

Carlo Cudicini?:eyebrows:

he`s a quality player,wouldn`t mind us getting him atall. much rather him over walcott.

heartbreaker.

they saying on SSN Man U have yet to put in a formal offer.

indeed...Tore Andre Flo was one of the tallest players we`ve ever had..but wasn`t a target man,he was a great finisher on the counter attack with either foot. not so great in the air..where as 5 foot 8 David Speedie was one of the best in the air.

one thing i`ve not seen yet when talking about us and Barcelona is that when they lose the ball they hussle to get it straight back...in recent years that is something we have been lacking..too often have we let teams stroll into our half before we challenge them..we should hussle for the ball wherever on the field it is.

it used to be "Let`s all do the Seaman" after he got beat from miles out in the almost last second of extra time in the `99 European cup winners cup final for Arsanal..against former sp*rs player Nayim for Real Zaragoza. next game up after that defeat for them we played them and we sung that to him ,with flailling arms etc...sadly he ended up doing it again for England against Brazil.

as pretty much all have said..we need a blend of steel and creativity..if we went all out flair and took away our hard edge completely we would become like Arsanal. we shouldn`t completely follow the blue print of any team anyway..not even the all conquering Barcelona! to be the best we can by all means use some of what they do,but will have to add something else to become better than them,if we just copy them we will always be behind them. good topic to bring up for discussion tho Sam..a whole lot more worthwhile than getting involved in some of these wild never gonna happen anyway, transfer speculation from those never heard of before websites.

SSN reporting PSG have offered £13.5m for him.

well i reckon on her nationality we can call that a Tie as she`s Russian born and her name is Tatiana.. yep retired (or atleast played her last game) at 20. shame it wasn`t to enter porn really...

i wouldn`t mind getting him at the right price..would add some much needed flair..only turned 24 earlier this week and his girlfriend is yet another hot russian tennis player... wouldn`t mind bumping into her at the bridge...

the only way i can see signing either of those two making sense are the following 1.Alex may be on his way out.due to his recent history of injuries,not talent based..Ivanovic is to remain a RB. which would only leave JT and Luiz as CB`s 2.although i am in no way gonna say Andre is the same as Jose. i think it`s fair to say that Andre and Jose are gonna have some things in common,having worked so closely together for so long....for those who recall when Jose first arrived he did state that every club should have a core of players from the same country that they play in and he did back up those words by adding English players throughout his time here..even tho there was a core of English already with us in JT.Lampard,Bridge,Parker,Joe Cole and Glen Johnson..he added over his years with us SWP,Sidwell,Ashley and had before the U-turn pretty much signed Gerrard too. maybe this is Andre looking at the core of English players who are all apart from Josh in the twilight years of their career and it could be a step to top up the English core before JT,Lampard and Ash are gone and we start looking like Arsenal.

it`s clear that they are fabricating the truth to get as much as they can..i hope Roman will call their bluff, put an offer on the table of say £30-35m and tell them that is the final offer. you have 7 days to take it or leave it,once that 7 day period has passed without being accepted it will be withdrawn.

at the start of August if we still haven`t signed someone for the 1st team squad, then i won`t be so calm.

because he has shown himself capable in a few positions FB,CB,DM..i hope that he isn`t used as a utility player but is given one position to be groomed into properly..i think that was something we should have done with Cork and Mancienne..but we have hopefully learnt from that mistake. i would say that position should be CB but then that would probably mean that he would have to be patient and wait perhaps a year or two. as for me the hardest positions for a young player to take the leap into the pros in is CB and DM. i guess he could see some action in the LC,as a sub..a few minutes here and there against lesser teams.... with us being able to name 7 subs these days i don`t see why we couldn`t use say atleast two of those sports with our young ,yet to be established players..Josh would take one spot but the other one could be used by one from a list of a few...mainly being Billy Clifford,Kakuta,Conor Clifford,Chalobah,Lalkovic.. (i`m counting Sturridge as an established player)

cheers for the work you have done for us today guys,in getting it back up. so it was the Indonesian hacking team responsible this time...strange times we live in.

although i didn`t want him,especially at the price..i`m pretty sure that by the time we play Man U in game 5 or 6 of the upcoming season..he will be back to his best. it will depend on us getting better service to him,but i believe AVB will sort that out for him and the other strikers.

he will know the players strengths and weaknesses already, atleast the regular 1st team players. but i think it`s more a case of talking to them one to one and checking the players mindset for the way forward,to see if they are willing to fight for their places,play in the new system etc.. i don`t believe it will be a case of them having a trial on a pitch in Cobham to see if they are still good enough. he will have plenty of time before the 6th to watch plenty of game footage from last year to evaluate their play. the names you mentioned may very well leave but he may want to tell them face to face rather than through the media. all that said..it would not surprise me atall if it`s a smoke screen and we end up buying somebody before the 6th.

well that is the end of that then...and Fibreglass will stay at Arsenal.

nice to see Robbie back..if i recall correctly he was part of the coaching staff under Claudio..can`t remember exactly what his position was but i think it was in some role with the youth team.

AVB likes to play a 4-3-3 but with the front 3 consisting of 1 main striker,1 out wide and 1 tucked in closer. Aguero could fit that last role..but there`s other options about there too.

i guess he`s just one of those guys who likes to parade around in public in pink.

the pieces will fall into place. the club may not be willing to inform us as that would mean they would be informing the football world of their intentions but that is not to say that they don`t have something already in the pipe line.
