The Lampard quotes have been posted in another thread already

You don't say? You only disagree with others, and then call them scum because tx = attention whore, just like the Cobham protester.

"Alex isn't going anywhere," Cortese said. "He's a great prospect for the future but not the transfer market. I don't think he would wish to be anywhere else." The view was echoed by Saints manager Nigel Atkins, who denied any suggestions the club have decided a price at which they would be willing to sell Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has already scored six times this season. "I am confident I can keep all my players here during the January transfer window," Atkins said. "There has been a lot of speculation about Alex and there will be throughout the transfer window. But Alex is our player and he's got a smile on his face, so we'll have to wait and see. But let me make it quite clear that Southampton have never put a price tag on anyone's head."

Again, I'm happy if this is true. Ffs people are reacting as if he's going to be a key player. Yes he isn't high profile. So what? Were Alex, Ivanovic or Cech big names before they came here?

The only scum on this board is you.

meh

Welcome mate, stick around

Welcome mate I'm sure you wouldn't mind if we took Henderson We could do with him atm (along with probably half the other team)

Ah ok

I did too

^ That. Every deal is different. Dortmund know we need a defender. Puts them in a better bargaining position than us. They sell out their massive stadium every week. They are top of the league. They don't need to sell their 22 year old CB for money, not in Jan anyway.

Damn ... I don't want my African Lescott at Chelsea FC. My African Lescott is a horrible defender ... is there any injury news?

tbf, calling him an 'unsung hero' so many times takes away the 'un' from 'unsung' lol it's like how people kept saying makelele is unappreciated by they didn't realise that by saying it so many times, they were in fact banishing the 'unappreciated' adjective

Agreed. He's been much better than Essien lately. But still needs a lot of work on his first touch and ball control. He flourishes whenever given space but can't find his way out of tight situations since his touch lets him down.

Daily mail ... Having said that, it'd be a good move if it happens. I watch Dortmund occasionally and the lad is quality.

i thought you hated social networking!

Surely you mean "looov" it?!?

Flo and le Saux - what legends!

Guardian reporting Liverpool are readying a 10 mil bid this window. Interestingly it states their only competitors are Arsenal, we aren't mentioned.

Welcome mate

He would be more like a stop-gap in the team till Josh is ready in a couple of years time. With Lamps 34 and saying he'll have to take care of his injury for the rest of his career, Pienaar would be the perfect choice to replace Lamps when he's injured/rested and at the same time ensure that not too much burden is placed on Josh's shoulders at his young age. Anyway, it's the Daily Mail so the chances of this happening are minimal. And BL, I thought Mail was banned?

He deserves it. But Cole and Drogba should be there imo. Villa and Puyol are there for being the WC top scorer and WC winning captain respectively. And ofc, for being Barcelona guys.
