Id rather that happens this season than next as we might be in with a title shout the season after the one coming up.

Modric would be the perfect signing for Chelsea, i would happily see us splash £50m for him he is that good.

To think, in 2008 he was available for £16m, instead we choose an over the hill Deco.

If Tottenham wont sell to us, get them to sell to Madrid and were pay Madrid a "3rd party fee" to sign him from them immediately

Sometimes consistent tactics has worked against them, especially in Europe. In 05/06 our wing play was getting predictable and teams were starting to get results against us so Jose responded by scrapping the wing play and putting Crespo and Drogba up front together and we stormed to the title. Same with Carlo in 09/10 his diamond was getting found out so we went 4-3-3 and we ended up scoring 7 or more in a match 4 times on the way to breaking the scoring record. Their has to be a bit of tactical flexibility because sticking to the same tactic will mean eventually some team will know how to counter it perfectly.

We should not look for a set manager for 10 years just for the sake of longevity, if one comes along that fits that bracket and manages us for the long haul then great and hopefully that man will be RDM. BadBoy i do however see where you are coming from and fully agree, it will be nice to see a manager in for the long haul.

If Robbie ever gets sacked, only Mourinho's return would probably end up winning the fans back in favor of the board Regarding what Bad Boy said, i don't think its solely trophies Roman is looking at winning next season, if we win nothing but their is genuine signs of progression (IE solid 3rd place finish, intergretion of younger squad, strong shot at retaining the CL), then i can't see RDM getting sacked. AVB, Carlo and Scolari got sacked for the way we were appeared to be heading under their leadership more than the fact we won nothing in their tenure's at the club (AVB and Scolari) and during his last season (Carlo). If next season brings positive signs that RDM is taking us in the right direction then he won't get sacked, if we stagnate again then that's a different matter altogether.

Do a Germany? with what players?

If he's patient and good enough he will get in eventually, Ryan is proof of that. Sadly with our young players very few have both, Stoch (judging by the form of Anelka, Malouda and Kalou in 10/11 ) would have forced his way in had he stayed and fought for his place.

welcome mate

Think we in general are starting to get a tad obsessed with his development. If he is patient and good enough he will force his way in eventually, Bertrand is proof of that.

I had a similar expierence flying from Hungary to Bulgaria,not on the same airline tho. Massive turbalance, seatbelt signs on early, machanics being done to the plane just before we got on it and a horrendous landing. I still believe to this day we crash landed.

So close to an extent a bad run could have anyone in shit, and vice versa.

I reckon a couple of weeks before the end we should have another massive marketing campaign for new managers, a lot of user's have joined TC since the last one who i think might be up for giving this a shot (Cap for example).

Credit to Buffon, he did his research and knew Cole was going that way. I said that to my mate before he even stepped up that if Buffon did his research he would most likely save it. Neuer did the same in Munich but thankfully that particular penalty had too much power.

Tore Andre Flo did a lot for us back in the day, shall we give him a contract now solely out of gratitude? Lets be honest tho Malouda wants to see out his contract and thats what is happening , he wont get that much playing time anyway.

I mean like massive arguments like the one between TX and Warnie after the Valencia match at the Mestialla for example.

It has gone a bit off topic lately but as some users said the off season and the quite frankly boring Euro's might be the reason. But lets be honest, this is probably the most user friendly forum on the net, and the staff do a brilliant job. Come August it will be normal service.

Fifa 2001 i can remember you could take out the keeper, at the expense of a red card tho

Zola and Di Matteo

Would apply, but im not sure ill have that much time, plus i kind of like just being a poster.

If a bust up starts between 2 user's in a thread, if there a way that those particular post's can be transferred to a "stupid argument thread" so the user's involved can carry on out of the way of the rest of us?

Put it this way. If we sign him, we will be begging for Bosingwa's return by the end of October.

RDM + Eddie can offer something some Mercenary pairing can't. Love for the club, it seeps out of the paws of the pair of them on the touchline.

whatever you Heart is telling.
