With the new television deals going through, don't all the clubs in the EPL earn a lot more from TV rights? Like in the region of 20-30mil more? Because I've read that the 20th placed team will earn more money 2013/14 season than ManU did this season. Correct me if I'm wrong though. Could mean that there is a lot more room to play with in the FFP books.

@Stingray, I've sent you an invitation for a friendly match - we'll play in the same league next season

One thing that drags down Jovetic's stocks is his long injury list. He hasn't finished a full season of football for 3 seasons. The most serious injury to his knee kept him away for a full season in 2010/11. Other than that it is a miracle in itself how the Viola have managed to keep him in Florence for so long.

Thanks for pointing that out - even better then isn't it? I've always wondered why did he join Napoli, he was already a beast at Palermo.

Last year it was the UCL win that got us the likes of Hazard, Oscar etc. This year if we do defy the odds and sign Cavani, it must come down to Mourinho's return. In that sense we have been lucky. Fingers crossed for Cavani.

I agree with you completely. Though we have to remember that it is a poll and the most popular wins. That being said, there is a saying that the people are as adequate as is their chosen/voted government.

Then again didn't see anyone crying when we did just that against Barcelona last season. Let's wait and see how Mourinho will play this team. None of the transfers are even confirmed and already some of you know exactly who we have bought, how we will play and how bad we will do UNLESS we break the budget FIFA style.

I don't want to draw any comparisons, because they are different players afterall, but nevertheless isn't Garth Bale all about his pace and shot? Let him first prove himself, 20mil euros for a potential player isn't a bad decision.

Campiones, Campiones olee olee olee! Joke, got relegated, haha. Oh well, never had thought me and Alex would go down but there you go. Well done to everyone, especially TX for the title and Nour for defying the odds and being a nuisance to him. Will be back next season I'm sure. No disrespect meant but getting wins will only boost Sinised JK in the Championship.

Careful, you're still running to be member of the month. I think you already know that supporting the board and not being ignorant isn't the best way to be popular.

There is this saying: only a fool can't find an excuse. I'm with you on this one, mate. Give him a fair chance, he is 22 and under a great coach he could unlock his potential. Plus like said above - we all want starting XI packed with expensive superstars in a formation that might work well in a FIFA game, but if we want quality bench, we must spend.

You're the only one bringing up that only thing he can do is work hard and give his all. Why can't you recognize his other abilities? There is noone in our youth system at the moment that would be even slightly ready for being a dependable squad player. Who exactly do you think you'd get with 20mil euros, someone who is young and better than Marin, Moses?

Maybe you have watched, maybe you haven't. Truth is the strength part is just an excuse. Is it because of that you resort to being passive aggressive? There has been a sudden Belgian invasion here lately, go do your match-making on them, egalitarian. Btw, what term? Muscles? Are you skipping sleep again?

I'm the last person you should explain this. Robert Lewandowski is the same body-type etc as Schürrle and is considered one of the strongest forwards in the world. What has given you the expression that Schürrle is weak? Btw, you can't gain 'muscles', every human being has exactly the same (amount of) muscles - difference is in the hypertrohpy.

No he does not. He is a strong lad, 184-185cm tall and weighs around 80 kgs I presume. That's more than Suarez, Torres, Tevez, Agüero etc. If you are being negative and finding faults then search for them properly. He is 22 and with a proper manager, surroundings he can be a very good asset. I didn't see anyone crying when we bought Zhirkov for nearly the same money, he was older though less proven.

I understand where you are coming from, but why do you think he can't be sincere about really liking Chelsea? This is a breath of fresh air for him after the venomous, hostile environment in Spain.

Don't worry mate. I got the same treatment when I had the nerve to suggest Rafa wasn't our only problem. I'm still here, alive and getting along fine with them.

I was a sceptic, but I'm taking my hat off. More impressive than YouNameIt CL win prediction, which was unamusing.

I've been studying 12h/day for the past 4 days and after hearing this news officially I'm pumped with motivation. Thanks! At last the fans are reunited and backing the team. This is an explosive composition - can't wait for the season to start!

Why is this forum still up? Two miracles in the same day? Welcome back, Jose!

Sorry for ignorance but what's scheduled at 6 30 on CTV?

You misunderstood me, I might have not expressed myself clearly enough. He started to compare Ramires with Schürrle, who are different players although they possess some of the same attributes. As does Ramires and long distance runners, but can really one replace the other just because of that? That's why the 'shooting blanks' remark infront of the comparison.

We don't know if he will be used as winger for striker, both of those suit him. Jovetic type of player, who is best as second striker.
