Danny!

Zhirkov not even on the bench. He's as good as gone.

Welcome.

Excellent.

It's more likely 'Feroze' than 'Feruz'.

That horrible Inter tie. Ugh. Bad nights, those. On topic : Ryan has more than proved his mettle at the various clubs he's been loaned to. Can't imagine it would be anything other than disheartening for him if he's shipped out again. Be nice to hear AvB's words on the matter, though.

Jovanovic to Anderlecht has been completed. It's just a matter of time now it would seem.

Sergio Canales has been loaned to Valencia. Looking forward to seeing how he goes along this season, very promising player.

dodojojo deserves a mention I feel. Also, Abd Chelseacrazyfan for his relentless work on video compilations of our youth, especially Josh.

I find it amusing.

Expectation - Make me enjoy watching us play again. None of the boring bullshit from last year and I'll be happy.

Happy b-day.

And the point of this thread is ...?

^ Yep, 3rd kit confirmed -

#13, perhaps?

Yeah well as I said it's just a rumour. Think he'll be used straight away. He's decided to move because the presence of Busquets and Mascherano wouldn't let him have games, can't imagine he would agree to come here if he wasn't assured of a reasonably prominent role in the team.

You guys caught on pretty quick haha, just saw our site and edited my post

Interesting rumour - there is a buyback clause at the end of each of first two years (10m €), a first-refusal clause for the next two years and after that CFC have an option to buy him for 15m €.

Barcelona have announced on their official site ----> http://www.fcbarcelo...tbol/index.html

Sport.es : 5 year deal signed in Colombia. MundoDeportivo : 4 year deal signed, buyback option at the end of each of the first two years, first refusal thereafter.

Why oh why does this guy have to be Indian?

Am I the only one somewhat pleased by the fact that (apart from the Modric saga) we're flying under everybody's radar at the moment? All the noise is about what City and Liverpool are doing and what Arsenal are not doing. Having become accustomed to getting all the attention and relentless press coverage over the years, it's nice to sit back and enjoy a few quiet moments. There's a calmness about the place, a welcome change indeed.
