No, mate. Sorry.

Welcome both of you guys!

Good luck Raul. Beast. :cfc:

Don't like him at all.

Čech won't play as long as other goalkeepers into their late 30's, because of all this injuries.

The captain should be a regular starter for the first team so that the role is not wasted on a player who rarely plays and so the team is playing with the same leader consistently. Players may find it difficult to motivate themselves to play with a new captain but consistent use of the captain will help. In addition to this the captain should be one of the side’s better players. He is therefore less likely to be replaced in the side, resulting in the need to appoint a new captain. This will also help with the motivation of the rest of the team to play under the captain. The player should be one of the more senior members of the squad in terms of age. They should ideally also have been at the club for at least a few years. In terms of attributes, the most important to consider is influence. The captain should also be brave, determined, hard worker and b team player in order to be an effective role model on the pitch. The player should preferably be amongst the favoured personnel of other members of the squad. At any rate, you should not appoint a captain who is widely disliked. I go for Mikel as captain and Cahill as vice captain.

If 10% of those players make it to the highest level I'll be more than happy.

/Closed. I've let some disscusion going on...

Media is reporting that he had meeting with Florentino Perez and said that he wants to leave. Perez said that he should say this before window closed, so they could sell him... They also made new buy-out clause 150€M. He could leave in January.

His.

You guys act like we don't spend any money...

I still can't believe someone can be so excited about signing Meireles... WTF?!

Bring back Ballack until the end of this season... He's free agent.

I'm really really pissed off we didn't keep Meireles. He's really outstanding player, With many experience and Capacity. The Mikel-Lampard partnership in the defensive midfield aint working at all, And we all saw the difference between our match against newcastle where it was Meireles and Mikel and between our match against Athletico where it was Lampard-Mikel. I Really think we shouldn't let him go.. Same as 2010.. Selling players without replacing them.. Hopefully that won't cost us anything. All of my love to Meireles.

Slovenian media reporting that Ronaldo is leaving Real. The main reasons are relationships in dressing room. http://tinyurl.com/bqy6832

There are rumours we will sign Vince Grella as one. Are there any quality free agents?

This, we have no depth in central midfield now? What is going on there with Robbie? Is he mad? Can we sign any player or is window closed?

2015

Falcao without doubt.

Slovenian media reports that Abramovich made a bid for Falcao at half time (€40M).
