It's about time we produced our own right-back, since we struggle to buy any decent ones! lol

Gyan is injured apparently. That simply won't happen. He didn't even make the bench in the last game and that was with Sturridge still suspended. His days are numbered.

Players like Lukaku take years to develop. He has to learn how to use his body and improve his technique. Honestly we won't see the best of him for years. But he's a good young player now and hopefully he will develop. Welbeck is a better player at the moment without doubt because he has shown he is capable at this level. But if you ask me who has the bigger potential then obviously I think Lukaku because he is capable of being an absolute monster i the future.

That's your view, I think they won it because they had the best squad and their players performed. We took them to the last month but they also beat us 4 times out of 5, knocked us out the Champions League and won the title in the end by 9 points. I agree that it takes time to really assess the teams but we have a very slow team with very little energy all over the park. It doesn't take 4 months to decide to come to that conclusion.

Age and experience are not mutally exclusive. Rooney is 25 but is very experienced for example. Utd may have a average CM options but you don't need to have a world class CM options to win the league, they proved that last year. As long as you can defend and score goals then Anderson, Carrick, Cleverly etc are perfectly fine options.

Do you disagree with what he's said about tempo? In our first three games so far it's been the usual slow build-up with very little dynamism where it takes about 20 minutes to get once decent chance. If you look at the top teams in Europe (Real, Barca, Utd etc) they all play with great energy and speed.

If we win the league this year it will be the biggest achievement of all.

The sad thing is that he's right.

100% Good post. He is a great athlete but a pretty average footballer.

Ramires as a DM? Ramires can run all day but his passing is rubbish. It would be suicide to play him there.

We rarely have our best 11 players fit and on form. It's up AVB to pick players on form and rest when needed. If he plays favourites like Carlo did then we're done for.

After a lot of thought I've decided this isn't the worst signing in the world. Sure he isn't exactly what we needed but he provides cover and is a full international so clearly is a decent player. I guess most of us we're hoping we would build for the future in just one summer which was never going to happen. Who knows, some young player somewhere might have a great season and prove to be a better option than an overpriced Modric and McEachran will definitely get more minutes.

He just played the full 90 minutes for Spain u21s who beat Georgia 7-2 away from home.

What pisses me off most about this signing is that we've had about 3 months to either sign Modric or a similar sort of player and have ended with Liverpool's 5th choice utility midfielder. This has been a massive let down.

Me sentimental? Far from it. I don't particularly rate the current Malouda and think he should be nowhere near the starting 11 along with Lampard and a few others. You want him gone, then fine. But show a little class mate.

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.
