Bosnian Blue

Good performance overall. Nice to see Nando scoring a goal and his body language has changed after that moment. Josh has also been very active passing the ball and finding the space, moving into channels. Keeping clean sheet was also important. Pleased although we still need one or two new players.

Nico is looking pretty sharp out there...Danny too.

Danny will win us this game. Come on you Blues !

I'm just gonna quote my post in Pastore thread : Maybe this is even a good thing. It could show us that AVB is in charge now and he is running our transfer policy. Roman doesn't buy players that he thinks we need no matter the price. So, Pastore at 42M - I'm not disappointed as long as we find someone cheaper and better. KTF in Andre

I was supposed to go next month for the first time, but that plan just failed. This time next year maybe...

We've really strengthened our team with Courtois and Romeu.

But the signings are imminent...

Didn't AVB said something like that after the Kitchee match ? I think he said we will probably try 4-4-2 in this game.

Sometimes makes me angry, but he is funny and a good lad. As long as he doesn't sulk and moan about warming the bench, he can stay.

Finally a real test, we'll be able to see how our lads perform against a very strong and dangerous team. Looking forward to the match.

I don't think we missed out on him big time because 42M is a lot of money, money that we can invest in better and more established players than Pastore. We missed out on Sanchez and Sahin, not on him.

He is very big and strong and his playing style is simple which is a good thing for a defender. Well, we'll see how he reacts against better players than Malasya, Thailand and Kitchee. Really nice test for him on Saturday. So far, so good.

I think he'll go to PSG. Don't know why, but that's my feeling. Like somebody said, if he does choose Paris and Ligue 1 it just shows lack of ambition and maybe even fear of failing on the big scene.

Torres' movement is woeful. He's never ever gonna score if he keeps standing out there doing absolutely nothing.

L'Equipe claims PSG have made a 40M bid for Ganso. http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2011/20110727_084702_paris-offre-40-m-pour-ganso.html Does that mean they're not after Pastore or...

We've seen improvement and these 45 minutes have been very good. Hope we score more goals and finish this game in style. Lampard in that more deeper role lookes quite comfortable with his long range passes and nice through balls to wingers. That's encouraging but despite that we still need someone like Modrić.

Money we used to buy Courtois should of been the money for this lad.

We have our back-up keeper for the next season. Well done Hilario !

This is why we should have more shots but they have to be powerful and on target. Not like Anelka's or Torres'.

More of this. Shoot, don't try to walk into the net like Arsanal.

Couple of nice passes from our midfield.

Bosingwa is woeful...

Crazy junkie RIP
