More than that, it's the fact that Lollichon would have better career plans with Courtois than with Cech, given that the latter has already got enough experience and knowledge from Christophe.

I wouldn't take Szczesny, we could easily have a good backup GK, and the idea behind taking a HG player from arsenal is minimizing the fact the we strenghten them with Cech, by taking one of their important players, like for example Walcott, Ox or Wilshere ( some are less likely than other for sure ). Plus, I don't think Szczesny would accept, if he leaves Arsenal, it would definitely be to gain playing time, not the bench.

Is it out Yet ?

It was a joke...

Sneijder to MU later today apparently.

Let's not make this a geography topic There are only Nike / Adidas / Reebok / Puma stores here. Plus some Stores that sell all the brands. But the fact Casablanca is a big city doesn't mean it necessarily has an NB store ( I'm pretty sure it doesn't, I live in Casablanca myself ), plus, besides the big brands ( Adidas and Nike are pretty well established here ), there is the factor counterfeit, NB surely have done their studies and realized it's still early for them here. Actually, I've done some research, and they have a few products in a few clothing stores here in Morocco, so that's it, it's quite normal for a Moroccan not to know NB before its introduction in Football.

Well you are Romanian talking to a Moroccan, there's surely a difference from a market reach POV. I had never heard of it before Liverpool tbh, I kinda discovered the brand when they started investing in football ( which means that their strategy pays off )

Rumours say we are looking for a HG on the deal. Chamberlain, Wilshere or Welckeck ( if Remy leaves as reported ) looks fine to me, we would strenghten them in a really crucial area, but weaken them on numbers and have a bonus Premier League level confirmed HG.

If he leaves, farewell, I would keep a lot of amazing memories from his spell here, but two the most defining : - How he was holding our midfield alone in the 2010-2011 season ( he had the second best pass ratio to Carrick in the League ), even with all the problems we had ( Lamps and Essien injured, Ballack and Deco gone, Ramires still haven't found his marks on the PL, etc. ) - His beast performance on May 19th 2012, amazing.

I think it's mainly because NB/WW pay big as well. But the funniest part is, no one knows any of the two.

The picture on your avatar makes this the most thug life post ever.

Not convinced. Plus the kids look like the generic Adidas templates, nowhere near Chelsea GK kit material we're used to.

Yeah, but the "the new kit leaked for a WHOLE GAME" theory is even worse than mine.

Is the "Lampard ans Ashley tried to harm Chelsea under AVB and Drogba under Scolari" myth still going ? Wow. Just because two or three important big players don't play under a manager means you guys have to believe all the BS the journos make ? Oh and everyone is talking about how good Salah was at Fiorentina, when was the last time we heard of a good performance by him since the first 3-4 weeks ? Mata and Shuerrle did not want to fight for their spots, I love those guys but I hate this kind of mentality, if you are not ready to fight for your place at Chelsea, don't wear this kit. And BTW, Shuerrle crying and stuff, he started the season on the XI, and was bad, so he was dropped to the bench, very normal.

I don't think that's the new kit. We changed the sponsor for that game, guess they didn't have the regular one ready, and made one with the closest template.

Mourinho only dropped Oscar because of his bad form, injury, etc. When fit and in form, Oscar is our number 10 choice, Mourinho has always implied it.

When Oscar is fit, there are no questions asked, the 3 interchange positions and Hazard Willian Oscar play equally as 7-10-11. In fact, this is how important Oscar is for us, when he's there and fit, we don't have that kind of problems since he kind of organizes everything, and allows Willian more freedom by tracking back himself. And aside from the fact that he's been playing extremely well on 10 and 11 lately, I believe Willian has unleashed himself offensively in the last months, regardeless of the position, and I believe it will only get better.

In the current market state, 60 Millions for Griezmann is just a bit high, I'd say 45 tops, but if we really want him we have no choice. Anyways, José said yesterday that the main objective is to strenghten the squad, not bringing starting 11 players because we already have enough quality for that, and I agree with him, it oubviously depends on how Oscar will play but Willian-Oscar-Hazard when fit and fresh is top class offense. All we need is rotation players to keep them fresh, that's what Shuerrle and Salah failed to do, Cuadrado looked really good in the last game against Sunderland and the one with the Colombia, so we'll have to see.

Indeed, but weirdly enhanced in your sign particularly.

What's with the belly.

Apparently the contract with Yokohama doesn't start until July.

He was crying on his unveiling as the new RM Manager. I bet that's his face when he saw the size of the Cafeteria at the Bernabeu.

I might agree with the public thing, although it's the Mourinho method : going to the extreme. But as for your second point, Mourinho said that RLC is exactly the type of players which needs to show full commitment in this kind of games since he is a starter on the team, the thing is, if even in these games Matic and Hazard show more desire than you, there is a problem. Finally, that's again the Mourinho method, he's not taking tactically aware players and just putting them into the team, since he came back here, he's taking gifted players and making them work, improving their weaknesses which includes work off the ball, the method has worked brilliantly with Hazard and Willian, and I feel that RLC is tough enough mentally ( mostly by his body language from what I've seen so far ), so I guess José knows what he's doing on this one. He doesn't do that to everyone, he could've smashed Filipe for his lack of defensive efforts compared to Azpi on the start of the season, but he didn't, he could also slam Fabregas publicly week in week out for that, I trust him on this one, I guess he gambles, but knows there are more chances it does RLC good than harm.

Am I the only one shocked by the similarities in term of camera angle, look and feel of the stadium btween the one we played in Yesterday and Parc des princes ? ( before they changed the camera angle on this one ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87QJzY_RP_8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACtNJN8p3HM

Verified it, it was in South Korea, against Suwon Bluewings on May 20th 2005.
