This PC has to be about Ramires. Haha lovin it.

Good to see he lad hasn't given up on making it with us some day. Not sure if the club thinks that way though. Shame really.

Nice to see Carlo having real faith in him

Arrgh two pointless Championship loan moves in Bertrand and Cork ...

Oh boy *facepalm* Why not just stick with the lovely white kit from last season? Don't get the idea behind having 3 new kits every year. Surely one of the away or third kits can be kept the same for a couple of seasons.

Once bitten, twice shy

I think Frank's too classy to turn his back on England. I don't think he'll ever make himself unavailable for selection.

Does England have no good youngsters in that age bracket? Hope we don't end up in a mess because of his age. Don't want another controversy.

Welcome mate, stick around

I'm not any more or any less worried than what I usually am before the start of a season, and I do hope people don't start comparing every game to last season and getting on Carlo's back if things aren't going as well. That being said, I do think this season will be a 3 horse race between us, United and le Arse.

Ozil .... or maybe Luiz (hope not)

Time to ring Paul the Octopus, if he hasn't ended up on someone's plate

One twat saying another twat is as good as a third twat.

The end of an era at the Bridge. Ballack, Cole and now Carvalho. Great servant to the club, will always be fondly remembered by everyone here. Good luck Riccy

I'm pleased we played good opposition on our preseason tour in Germany. Surely playing against HSV and Frankfurt (who did very well last season in the Bundesliga) is better than beating some unheard of Irish team 7-1.

Or maybe the diamond, which would make me go

I don't know what to believe anymore. One day he says he would love to come to England, next day he says he likes Spain. Then he says he'll stay put and see out his contract. Now this. Ain't gonna believe a word till someone puts pen to paper.

That ends it then. No point pursuing him now.

Never good to see a promising youngster go, but you can't fit them all in so it's probably best for both him and us. Good luck to him, hope to see him in the Premier League in the future.

DM is not his position. But then it isn't Ramires' position either. So Mikel as DM, Essien and Ramires to rotate at RCM.

Shocking. Very likable guy, am sure he will be back soon, maybe to take Mancini's seat when Citeh fail to qualify for Champs League

The cheapest 11 million ever. Hail Ranieri

Better than Hilario, tell you that.

Welcome mate

Well now you do.
