Peace.

Word up ! You've taken the words right out off my mouth. The "Sturridge - Torres - Mata" thing ain't a dream team. About Sturridge, I neither think it will work. And even if it happens to work, I believe Sturridge will not fulfil his potential on the wing. I think it is a waste to play him on the wing, even more when you think that the two others strikers are really far to be good at the moment. And I agree with you, I hope to see Danni play in the center. As for Torres, well... He isn't any good. And even if he grabs his confidence back, I do not think he will be as near good as the old Torres. I'll agree to give him two more chances to start a game, but after that if he doesn't grab those chance, we just have to stop wasting time with him. And it's real, at the moment Anelka isn't the worst striker... At least he is better than Drogba, Torres and Kalou. And I do think a "Anelka - Sturridge - Mata" looks a better choice considering the current form of the players. Personnaly, as we do not have a playmaker (we have Josh, but it doesn't look like he will have a regular spot in the starting eleven) I'd like Mata to play as a kind of N°10, behind the two strikers : Mata Sturrdige - Anelka ? or Mata Danni - Lukaku

Ah okay Cheers mate !

What's with the "pies" and "Fat Franck" ? I often see you mention that but I can't understand... Could you explain me where this love story between Franck and pies comes from ? Cheers.

How many games to do have seen of him ?

You are wrong. Piazon plays just behind the striker(s), while Modric is more of a deep lying playmaker. They ain't of the same type.

1 - Nobody want to replace John Terry. We are just saying we should look for somebody who will replace him when his physical condition will no longer allow him to have a spot in the starting team. 2 - I don't really think Roman's dreams of this trophy since his childhood.

He will be the Manager.

We do not have to play Malouda on the wing. We just have to let Mata on the left wing and play in the middle of the park the great young talented playmaker we have bought this summer.

LOL John Terry isn't Paolo Maldini, just as Lampard isn't Giggs. Plus, La Seria A hasn't the same tempo as the Premer League at all ! La Seria A has a slow tempo and a slow building of play. That is why players can last far more than players from other leagues. And maybe John Terry could last as long as Maldini. But nothing is less sure than that, and he is already 31. The bottom line is, instead of waiting our players - John Terry in this case - are finished for good to replace them, we have to act quickly and anticipate their end. I am not preaching to buy, not at all. But we have still a bit of time before Terry becomes not enough good, I do think two years. So we should researche and target his successor from right now.

That's such a bold statement.

Yeah ! If I do recall correctly, it was in october 2010, though I can't remember against who. I only remember he was, hmm, poor xD. He wasn't to do all by himself.

Who is asking for a Lampard 2.0 ? Nobody. People are just asking for someone to play instead of him, not to impersonate him...

That is maybe not a bad new actually. Like this, we will have to play our youngsters

Once again, his performance was abysmal with France. I do not get how he is still being picked. Each and every time he gets the ball, he loses it within five second. He seriously has to be benched, both with France and Chelsea.

Come on, do not start over this "racial" thing. They may have other origin than the german one, but they have grew up in Germany, they have learn football in german clubs.

To be frank, I couldn't care less about the title. As long as we end up within the first four place, I'll be happy. Though, what I am interested in, it is the build of a new era, a new squad, with young and quality players. So, for me, to judge whether our season has been a good one or a shitty one, I won't look at the table. I'll look at the composition of our team. Indeed, If players like Drogba, Anelka, Malouda, Lampard and Kalou are still playing a major part in the starting eleven, while the young players (McEachran, Bertrand, Romeu, Lukaku and Danni (I no longer considere him as a youngster, but you see what I mean)) haven't play that much, and haven't been integrated to a certain level in the starting XI, then I'll say we had a bad season, even if we have finished second or first. And I'll go further. I even wish the club isn't aiming to win the title. Why do I wish such a thing ? Because I do believe it won't go well with the aiming of construct something new. Finaly, I do not think we are strong enough to win the league. But if we win it, then André Villas-Boas will have achieved something really, really great.

^ I get it. We should lock all our young players in a strong-box, so they can't do mistakes, so we can't critisize them. More seriously, I do not think that any member on here would say "we should have played Ferreira at LB" if Bertrand makes a mistake.

^ Don't be too much optimistic, Chalobah is barely 17 years-old.

The only thing German lacks, it is some balls. They are incredible talents, but they doesn't have the german spirit, they are too much nice imo.

Ah okay, apologies then As I didn't included players older than 26 years-old and you had posted just below my post, i thought..

Did I say he was old ? All United key players are [20 ; 26 ] ∩ [30 ; 35+] years old. Just a comparison.

Players who are < 21 years-old : Manchester United :iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiChelsea : - Phil Jones - 19iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- Lukaku - 18 - De Gea - 20iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- McEachran - 18 - Welbeck - 20iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- Romeu - 19 Players who are between 21 and 26 : Manchester United : ggggggggggg Chelsea : - Smalling - 21gggggggggggggggg- Bertrand - 22 - Rafael - 21gggggggggggggggggg- Sturridge - 22 - Fabio - 21ggggggggggggggggggi- Mata - 23 - Cleverley - 22gggggggggggggggii- Luiz - 24 - Evans - 23dddddddddddddddddi- Ramires - 24 - Anderson - 23ddddddddddddddii- Mikel - 24 - Hernandez - 23gggggggggggggg- Kalou - 26 - Nani - 24 - Rooney - 25 - Valencia - 26 - Young - 26

The sentence above is my concern. I do not know from what (web)site it does come from, but come on. To say we have included Ferreira because we do not have cover for Ashley.... And Bertrand is a gardener ? ps : I hope it isn't our official website.

:lolwave: I just can't see anybody offer us more than £5m for him.. By the way, he can go for free as far I'm concerned.

Ah okay. My bad, I thought you were talking about both Lukaku and Bertrand. Though I am disagree on the fact he has to win his place. He is our second LB choice and every few games he has played, he was pretty good. Plus, now we have only one left back and three RB. Who will play at LB if Cole picks up an injury ? Our 32 years-old third choice at RB ?
