http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2384585/Liverpool-hoping-bring-Chelsea-defender-Kenneth-Omeruo-loan.html Most likely bullshit because their's no quotes, but if Liverpool do loan in any of our young players, will that finally be an admission of their reduced status?

Marin and Benayoun replaced by De Bruyne and Schurrle, and we thought last summer was a successful window. That's not even starting on the changes elsewhere in the team, including the dugout.

To give Lukaku a few minutes.

Is it me or is Hazard's tracking back getting better by the game?

Ba has been here 6 months, considering all the backing off Torres in the same time (when he was only here for 6 months) it's only fair Ba gets the same, no?

Now we are entering the 'business' stage of pre season, this game and Madrid we can make some fair assessment's on our squad (i won't include Inter because they were tragically bad).

This opinion probably belong's in unpopular views, but assuming we don't get another forward in, i think Ba will make more of an impact this season then general opinion would think.

I know it's only pre season, but that was a typical Jose Mourinho team performance.

not playing tonight = getting sold #medialogic expect a back page spread from Martin Lipton tomorrow.

Sorry for the late response Skipper i have stayed away from this for a while and as much as i hate Suarez myself and i am agreeing in tandem with every other mister meaner he does, i just can't condemn him for this. If that goal went in his own country would have gone out of the tournament, any one would have done the same in that situation and it's easy for us to say no we wouldn't but our instints will make us do it, i have done it myself before and that's playing pub league, let alone the biggest stage off all. You get what you deserve for doing that, a red card and a ban, its up to the player then to punish you but scoring the pen, which Gyan didnt' do. Also what's never really noted is that there was the other player on the line that was looking at doing the exact same thing and De Jong admitted before the World Cup final that if he was in a similar situation, he would have had no hesitation doing the same thing.

We need to stop this fantasy we are going to get another Frank, 20 goals a season from central midfield, no one is going to replicate that in our lifetime if ever, we should just be glad we had him instead of trying to fantasize over "potential" other version's.

@CHOULO19, Done.

about to sign up.

One of the few times Google has came up trumps for me!!!!!

I really think some won't rest until we have Gotze, Reus and Neymar as our alternative's for the amigo's

Neymar won't flop, absolutely no chance.

What was the logic off the manager and Canpagnaro leaving Napoli for Inter? Inter maybe a bigger name but their such a shite team these days it's ridiculous.

If Hazard ever wants to go to Madrid, we will use that price for Bale to make him the first £100m player.

If the rumours are true that Hazard might want to go to Madrid in a few years, then because of this he will probably be the first £100m player.

The Skipper for me, although he has been nominated the last god knows how many times, he just continue's to raise the bar. Peace is a close 2nd for me, the definition of quality over quantity, i can't remember his last post that hasn't got a insane amount of reps.

Better not loan any one to Tottenham then with Levy about

I was watching that Swansea City rise and fall programme on BBC 1 and a member of their supporters trust who brought the club when they were shit (and still own it to this day) said one thing that struck me. "to run a successful football club you have to let your head rule your heart". Next time Roman makes an unpopular decision that goes against what our hearts say we should bear that in mind.

Worth a try i was wondering because i remember Wenger seeking guarantee's for Wilshere when he loaned him out.

Think that was Turnbull wasn't it at Goodison? then Cech came on and saved the pen? He did have some shockers in 06/07 after he was playing a run of games (which imo is his weakness, consistency) he seems like a player who performs when the novelty of playing is there but then gets bored. When i saw Blackman he blew hot and cold, i hope your right about him i really do as it would be good to see a homegrown keeper come through (maybe a loan this season see what he can do?) but as it stands i think Sam Walker out of the two has more of a chance of being our #3 when Hilario eventually goes, especially if he impresses again at Colchester.

Is their a playing time clause we can put in? like for example if he doesn't feature for 4 or start for 7 we can re-call him?
