Cech Ivanovic Bruma ? van Aanholt Matic Mikel Ramires Kakuta McEachran Lukaku/Neymar/Sturridge Doubt Hutchinson will make it to the highest level, on account of his knee.

That half time was short wasn't it? Less than 10 minutes. Drogba for Kalou.

http://www.record.xl.pt/Futebol/Nacional/1a_liga/Benfica/interior.aspx?content_id=455573 'In negotiations'. Nothing agreed then.

Rost, Diekmeier, Westermann, Demel, Tesche, Ze Roberto, Jarolim, Pitroipa, Guerrero, Petric, Van Nistelrooy. Some decent players there. See they've signed Heikko Westermann from Schalke.

Depending on the fitness of Cech and Alex I'd imagine.

Without us, the fans, these guys would have fuck all. Seriously.

Toure is on £221,000. Absolutely insane. Wasn't even first choice at Barca last season!

:') Spot on.

These all say he's on the bench. http://www.slbenfica.pt/jogosdirectoslb.asp http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/matchtracker http://www.record.xl.pt/emdireto/?id_game=27217&id_post=71639 Spurs winning 1-0, Bale.

Good news, he's joining Zenit. €22m. http://www.fcporto.pt/Noticias/Futebol/noticiafutebol_futacordobrunoalves_030810_54412.asp

Far from a done deal yet. He's on the bench for Benfica tonight.

Better. Don't do it again.

Steve, you've missed something off of that shirt.

Copa America is from July 3-24, so, no.

Blues News headlines at 1: Carlo says he hopes Ramires will become a Chelsea player, but its not yet done. So, as we knew, really.

http://www.chelseafc.com/page/Old_Blue_Eyes/0,,10268~2109469,00.html Open training today apparently. Played the following team: Ferreira - Ivanovic - Terry - A. Cole Lampard - Essien - Mikel Kalou - Anelka - Malouda Paulo playing would surely indicate Carvalho is off.

I'm sure it'll be checked out before its confirmed.

Makes sense to rest Alex and Drogba for it. But I'd imagine Cech will play if hes 100% after Turnbull and Hilario's recent showings.

BBC.co.uk/sport yellow ticker: Benfica's £17m-rated Brazilian midfielder Ramires due at Chelsea on Wednesday for medical. Sounds good to me.

Does anyone know whether Cech has travelled over to Germany? I'm sure Carlo said that he'd play his Community Shield team in this game, but also that Alex and Cech would be available for Sunday. So are they ready to play tomorrow, or does he mean he won't play them against United? Did that even make sense?

Nothing on 'Abola', which is the final Portuguese source. Someone just told me that Radio 5 are reporting Ramires will have a medical tomorrow.

http://www.ojogo.pt/ This is really good news. Their president said yesterday that they would replace Ramires quickly if he went, and Ojogo who, I understand are the most credible source in Portugal, are reporting they've found this guy. They also say:
