He probably got a HUGE wage increase for signing that deal. And Porto aren't as pathetic as Sp*rs. If the player really wants to leave and a club makes a good offer they will let him go

Congrats laylabelle! Well deserved! Btw thanks for the nomination and votes guys

true but I think if AVB has identified a target and is serious about bringing him in now then Roman will provide the money to ensure that we can finish in the top 4 at the end of the season

don't think Roman would do that though. He's bothered spending 15m on AVB I'm guessing he's realized the club desperately needs transition so I'm sure he must be willing to spend some money (not the crazy sums thats being reported but still... something)

yep especially when they show him (well they're showing Queen Kenny but he's in the background) when their anthem is being played. bleh.

Think we should wait til 11.59pm on 31st January lol

Paul Clement is apparently going to join Carlo at PSG. Wish him all the best too

CHOULO19 :D

Hope to god he doesn't go to Villa. Shit club shit manager. They'll ruin him lol. Swansea would be best but even Bolton would be better than Villa

Stoke? the first game of the season? lol

Loyalty doesn't really exist anymore, but I get what you mean. Still, JT was *this* close to signing for City. Same with Gerrard and us. They didn't go through with it in the end, sure, but they had, for however short period of time, decided to leave.

haha don't ruin it!

Daily Mail must really be running out of stories but if, IF this actually happened, I will lose all respect for Frank.

Looking forward to the start of the league tomorrow Not had the best of preseasons (drew all three friendlies) tho

The best part is that their left-back has seen Rambo and is initially making a run to stay with him but halfway through he decides "fuck it I'm never going to catch him anyway" and just drifts away :lol:

And if Ivanovic gets injured (like what has happened now) we'll have to play the clown at RB again.

lmao. he's probably right

Really? :doh:

Just made this

What do you mean?

That's because three matches ago he was absolute shit and was showing ZERO signs of wanting to play for this team and lets not get carried away. Good performance against Wolves, his finishing and goal-scoring instincts are still RUBBISH. But I have to commend him for his team-performance. Would like to see a similar performance for his next 4-5 matches before I feel comfortable with him though

Why do you have a Gerrard icon mate :mouthclosed: Anyway, definitely agree with #1. That bugs the hell out of me Also... when players take forever to take a throw-in. Ashley Cole always takes 15-20 seconds to make his mind up and it is unbelievably annoying. Especially when we're trying to score

Looks fabulous. Great work Jim.

IMO they're both pretty equal. If we're looking for other options in the Prem, then we should look at Samba. He might cost a little more (don't know what his contract situation is, but I think we can get him for 10m or 12 at the most) but he is twice the player Cahill is.

Don't base your judgement on highlights. Our final-third passing was slightly better than usual (Torres played some great passes to put the likes of Mata, Lampard, etc through on goal) and our possession was good as well. We are clearly lacking creativity but this performance was by no means as bad as the recent outings against Wigan, Fulham & Villa
