Is Jack Cork actually eligible to play? I mean, he was on a season long loan and therefore wouldn't have been on our 25 man squad sheet for the season? Does anyone know?
Exactly. I'm expecting Villas-Boas to stay with Porto for at least another season. Well that's your opinion, and as much as I respect that, until he has managed a major club in Europe and experienced CL games, he would not even be on Roman's radar.
...Bielsa?...Who? ANY manager that would join us will at least have to have experience in both CL and european leagues. This also rules out Villas-Boas i'd imagine (for the time being anyway).
Josh will be involved with the reserve game on Monday I assume so won't be playing. We still need 4 points to get 2nd and assuming arsenal win. Strongest lineup please Carlo!
If you think about it in the context of our team (4-3-3), Mata & Neymar would both play left wing. It's the only position Neymar could play unless we adopt a new formation. It'll be one or the other i'd say. Not both.
Kaka's mother is going to be in London for a few days in August apparently, not moving here permanently. Can't see him joining us to be honest. I'd imagine he'd go back to Italy (Milan probably) if he were to leave Real.
Lots of talk on twitter and the like today regarding Mata: http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/transfer-rumours/7348/6/chelsea-want-valencia-star-whether-ancelotti-stays-or-not Would be an excellent signing imo.
I'm aware that many do not trust the board. That's why I said 'some credit'. All I meant was that not everything spent by the club contributes to the FairPlay rules, and that the board understands this and are aware of what they can/cannot do with the money they have.
It would be nice to see a bit more energy in our play, nobody is making runs. Rolling it into feet around the edge of the box isn't going to work. Who are we, Arsenal? Fuck that.
The next logical step in the growth of the club. Looking forward to more information, although 'The Samsung Arena' doesn't have quite the same ring to it
