That's the thing about our King Carlo though. He's said before he likes to respect players and have their respect. A thorough gentleman. Welcome, Yossi. There's no fat Spanish waiter here.

Money. Loads of it. Plus, Benitez is not the smartest cookie in the jar.

Why do we need him ffs. JT, Alex and Ivan backed up by Bruma, Hutch and Mancienne. Waste of money and space plus a detriment to the growth of our younger players if this happens.

No doubt who the better player for this club is. Aguero > Higuain any day of the week. But just curious, what is the before tax figure if the after tax amount is 160000 in England?

Slow that he is, that's his delayed reaction to France being knocked out.

Nooo ... tell me this isn't so!

Do our younger keepers train with Cech and Lollichon as well? Or do they have a different GK coach?

http://bit.ly/aBNDwv Mirror Football 'story' here. No quotes from player/agent/Chelsea or Inter club official, but worth a discussion I guess.

Came on for Zhirkov against Wolves at LB. Now I remember

We did play Bruma in Ash's position quite a few times last season, as a sub ofc. Don't know the exact games in which this happened, but it did happen. Who knows, maybe the club are trying to improve his versatility.

JT will start obviously. Riccy being third choice for the second centre-back spot leaving Ivan and Alex to rotate taking into consideration factors like opposition, competition, fatigue, injury etc. Until bos returns, obviously Ivan to start at RB in league matches atleast. Depending on the Ashley-Real situation though, things could get interesting. If he stays, nothing better, but if he doesn't, do we play Bos there once fit, or do we play Yuri/PvA/Bruma? Assuming Ash stays and Bos returns from injury, I would love it if on the day of a big match I wake up to our back line reading Bos-Iva-JT-Ash

Is it true we got 7.5 mn for Stoch? You think di Santo will move on as well?

Link?

Okay. Haven't watched the Reseves play so have no idea about Matic and Cork's abilities. Saw MM play in a couple of his Wolves games and I was impressed. But as someone above pointed out, if we can get around what we got for Stoch, we should probably sell.

BlueLion, how about just closing this thread now? Racism won't be tolerated, the point has been made. Keeping this open will just attract comments and replies. Let's talk football!

Oh ok understood. Cheers!

@ BlueLion : I know this is of topic, but why can't I give neg reps? It says I've utilised my quota for the week, even though I haven't neg repped anyone ever.

Welcome!

Frank Lampard - Premier League Player of the Decade. 'Nuff said. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2783628/Lamps-is-star-of-the-decade.html

What's Farza?

I'm confused about this one. Surely Matic and Cork can't be ahead of Mancienne in the pecking order?

Fair enough, mate. I'm cool. But surely repping kakuta's racist posts is not a nice thing, you'd agree?

The mods made their stance clear, the defaulter has been banned, point made, marker laid down. Shouldn't this thread be closed now?

Sometimes I wonder if Kakuta44 and TX are one and the same But, my post is so I'll shut up.

A one word answer : NO. P.S Were our 20 mn+ bracket signings SWP, Ess, Drog and Sheva?
