Madmax

I'm currently locked in deep discussion with WeHateScouse's training ground mate over these appointments. EDIT : Those name you mentioned aren't 'sexy' enough for Roman (his words, not mine).

But I am. I'm distinguishing between the two To each his own.

Good player, have seen a bit of him and was impressive from what I saw.

One's with contact, the other's without contact. Feigning contact is unlawful, exaggerating contact isn't, as proved when these acts don't get reprimands from the ref, while diving does.

^lmao.

Just no Diving = feigning contact.

For the last time : Drogba doesn't dive, he exaggerates contact.

Current first choice team : Cech Ivanovic Alex Terry Cole Essien Ramires Lampard Anelka Drogba Malouda Sell Alex to Olympiakos for £2 million and make 100% profit (to be adjusted for inflation).Buy Leighton Baines from Everton for £5.5 million, £1.63 million dependent upon appearances, goals and assists and make him future heir to Cole.Buy Neymar from Santos for £25 million and offer Kalou in exchange.Sell Anelka and Malouda to MLS for £3 million and £0.3 million respectively.Sell Ramires to Inter Milan for Sneijder plus Materazzi.Buy Busquets from Barcelona for £27.38 million. He solves our fantasy problems.Buy Abou Diaby from Arsenal for £6 million and offer Kalou in exchange.Sell Essien to Rio Ave for £18 million plus his blogging rights on TOCFCW, refuse to negotiate if they deny us one-half of their merchandise sales.Swap Mikel, Kakuta and Baines for Lucas Leiva, Fabio Aurelio and Jay Spearing and £25,000 in cash.Sell Zhirkov to Birmingham, because we can.Send Bluelion on a season's loan to Bolton, Owen Coyle will get the best out of him.Retire Terry and make Josh captain and move him to CB, his hormone growth will ensure rapid physical development.Buy Graeme Swann from cricket, he has a good turn of pace. Offer Kalou and Bosingwa in exchange.Straight swap Cech with Gomes and Cudicini of Tottenham. New first choice : Gomes Ivan Materazzi Josh Aurelio Busquets Diaby Lucas Spearing Neymar Swann Total spending : £65.51 million Total income : £23.3 million Difference in spending to be recovered in shirt sales of Madmax and Henrique in Libya and Coventry respectively.

Again :

Magnificent post!

Mid table teams offer more than that. It's unrealistic.

Sarcastic?

?

There's talk he may be coming back, he's had rehabilitation in the Middle East and apparently it's done him real good.

Then how exactly is Lukaku a good signing?

We want the great Lukaku don't you know. Hence we must sacrifice trivial positions like a right winger to win the bigger battle and have another Drogba on the bench.

^Isn't that a bit too long? Thought the last couplet in itself has potential to be a classic Bridge chant.

Exactly. And such devious play is exactly why the player pays close attention to the manager! He wouldn't sign for a club if the manager is known to be manipulative.

Ray Wilkins confirmed that those buys were wanted by Carlo and re Luiz and Torres, he wanted them in July itself. And we need to make a distinction between transfer bids and contract agreements. Sure transfer bids may be initiated by club representatives and player agents, but once a bid is accepted, it is within the player's power to sign a contract or otherwise. And he takes this decision based on factors, a major one of which is of course the manager at the club. The Pastore case is irrelevant because he is moving away. Why would he talk with the club president for this? It's obvious his agent is the go-to man in this regard. But when the time comes to choose a club, he'll be paying damned close attention to that club's managerial situation.

Wenger and Mourinho are both great managers. Would everyone be as comfortable with both just because they're 'great'? It doesn't work that way. A player moving to a new country, a new league has tonnes of things on his mind, not all of them football-related. It's vital for him to be able to rely upon the knowledge that the guy he works with everyday is in agreement about his thinking and development. I'm sure guys who've played football themselves will tell you that the relationship with the manager is the most important, even more so than his teammates. For the player it's important to have a great working relationship with the manager, not the board. At Chelsea, the manager doesn't set the club's direction, the owner's advisers do.

Has the move been confirmed though? If it has, you are correct. Though I really doubt this Malaga rumour. I know they have money and are one of the richest teams in La Liga but seriously ... Pastore? Don't see it.

You are clearly wrong. We must spend 20 million on a Didier lookalike and shunt Studge out on the right wing.
