Styles

You are a spoilt brat and one of the main reasons why I hate most football fans.

Show some respect. He might not be Messi but he has done some very important things for this football club.

Even they aren't that stupid. This is just a silly rumor, Sturridge is a very important player for us this year. Relax.

Well if as reported the club were trying to move him on then you can safely assume that he isn't getting an extension. I think like Anelka he will finish his contract and then leave.

Why? He was at training just a few hours ago! Calm the fu*k down man. Sturridge is going nowhere.

You have to accept at the end of the day these players aren't robots but humans. If Malouda doesn't want to leave and is happy at Chelsea then fair play to him. he has two years left on his contract, he didn't force the club to give him this contract they gave it to him.

Fair enough bro, although I think our definition of number 10's is different. I think if you can make play then you're a number 10, whether thats from central midfield or in the final third.

Haha yeah, I noticed that too. He said he used to watch the 1 minute updates from training in another interview. His support is real!

Thanks bro. I'm glad he is going to stay, he is only 18 and will definitely gett better. I trust his development with AVB instead of somebody like Pulis who will just throw balls at him and let his technique suffer.

Xavi would be a 10 for any other team in the world except Barca. He has the vision and the playmaking ability to play the role it's just Barca have Messi and Iniesta as well.

Yeah but their style is so fluid and players are encouraged to move and find space. I think playig in DM at least gave McEachran minutes on the field so that is a massive plus even if he wasn't given as much freedom as we all would want.

This is why getting AVB is so imprtant for his development. Boas is very much influenced by Barcelona's style so I'm sure he will encourage him further forward up the field as opposed to Carlo who wanted him as a quarter-back. And we have to be very happy that Mata has arrived and we might get Modric, these players will encourage McEachran's playmaking abilities a lot.

That's exactly what they spoke about because they said Ancelotti wanted to turn him into a Pirlo but they said he can do a lot more further up the field.

They started speaking about McEachran towards the end and said he is the perfect 10 in the making!!! If you go to about 1hr and 18 mins you can hear them speak about him for about 3-4 minutes.

Very interesting, I recommend it. You can listen to it here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014l41y This a more detailed read - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14708094.stm

Maybe they aren't ignoring him but are just incapable of doing what he wants. The truth is most of the players we have just don't suit his style. If you look at his reactions during the game he just seems unhappy most of the time.

Exatly. They're trying to do about 3 or 4 years work in one summer. If anybody who thought Arnesen did a good job then you're seeing just how wrong you are.

Has he ever captained any of the youth teams for club or country? Cech or Ivanovic for me.

We keep signing young players for loans but don't have many 20-25 year old first team players. It seems to be a lot of old players and a lot of very young players, the middle group supposed to bridge the gap is nonexistent.

If we sign Meireles then I give up all hope on anything ever again.

If AVB wants him then there has to be a plan. I think I'm one of the very few people that is starting to think Ashley Cole is on the way down. He seems to have lost 2 yards of pace, can't cross and is very weak physically. Who says Pereira has to play LW? Considering Ashley's current form Pereira could be first choice LB.

I could do better than Torres and I haven't played football in a few months.

AVB is clearly intelligent. He knows like everybody else that our midfield is laughable now. He isn't going to say "yeah, they're all shit mate. I envy Ferguson and Mancini" when asked about the team.

Jeez. Watched the Spurs-City and Utd-Arsenal games and they both looked scary. None of our midfield players would make their teams which says it all.
