Slam Dunk

What a surprise, another condescending post. Because an opinion is widely accepted, it means all other opinions are wrong? If you truly believe that, you shouldn't be posting on a forum on the first place.

Your condescension still doesnt change the fact that's its your opinion and I disagree. Anyway, back to Maicon.

In your opinion...

Erm...Who cares?

Ivanovic, despite being decent at right-back, never really struck me as a natural in the position. There will be a lot of rotation between the two anyway i'd imagine (depending on opponent). I see Ivanovic leaving the club in the near future too. Just my opinion, not getting into a debate on who's the better, but Maicon is just a more natural RB.

Optimism is great, but I think this is a little over the top. Our new first 11, including the signings you've mentioned above, has 4 players new to the EPL (possibly 3 depending on who the midfielder is). We're building a new team - it's going to take time, we shouldn't expect instant results. I'd be happy with a top 4 finish, winning the FA Cup and a decent run in Europe.

Cheers mate. Preordered!

Seems like a great move for him. Hope he does well there.

So Marca are reporting that Madrid have ruled out signing Maicon - Despite Mourinho's best efforts to convince them. Maicon preferred Madrid, but will have to settle for Chelsea. Seems like this will be concluded soon (this week). I still think he'll come here and be first choice.

That training kit is a beaut.

I think you're reading entirely too much into it.

Not that it really matters, but Kakuta has 31, Hazard 17, KdB 14 & Marin 21.

True. Have to say I don't mind them playing Joy Division at halftime when it's on tv though.

Sick and tired of seeing the Gallaghers on every piece of City promo.

So...Who do we have here?

It's all over guys. The Malaysian investors have purchased the site and have permission to build shops/hotel/offices etc. What a waste.

I don't think anyone can question Robbie when he says the deal took so long because he was on a long holiday - That's one hell of a man-tan.

No chance.

Jarvis spotted at Cobham. Sure.

Some choice quotes from the Spurs forum: He must have built it while Mourinho was still his boss. Suppose they have a chance of winning the Europa League - Think the Portuguese league is a little out of the question, although probably more likely than the EPL. ^This ones my favourite.

I can guarantee everybody's answer to your question is less than the number of times that video has been posted.

They're signing Sigurrdson aren't they? Seems inevitable Modric will leave.

Big gamble from Spurs. Wonder if he'll spend all summer assessing his players and then buy Meireles from us instead of keeping Modric?

Which would suggest maybe he might not actually be coming to us as back up, like many think? It all still seems to be just twitter-talk at the moment anyway.
