As much as I like seeing our youngsters play, I tend to agree with the manager that we need to have our best shot at the FA since it the tittle we are most likely to win, especially with one of the Manchesters going out so early.

Congrats Laylabelle. You deserve it.

All signs pointing to him staying at Madrid: http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/69/transfer-zone/2012/01/06/2833766/jose-mourinho-affirms-kaka-will-be-staying-at-real-madrid Mou is probably doing us a favour, I could honestly see us bidding about 30m for him if he was for sale.

I totally agree. This is why I've been saying that I would much rather have Cavani than Pato play at chelsea.

I'm not sure we'll go for him in Jan, we have more pressing transfers to make.

I think we should give the club the benifit of the doubt and assume that we are keeping our transfer targets a secret so that the media can't affect the deals.

Every time I hear/read an interview with this guy I come to love him more.

Will we loan him out again? I don't see him getting a look in with Ashley and Ryan in the first team.

Here are the team news before portsmouth:

He was on the bench in the 2-1 victory over wolves if I remember correctly.

Fergie came out and said that mail is writing BS and that Chelsea would never sell Frank to them.

Don't think Blackburn would sell to a team in the relegation battle. Besides I honestly think Samba is worth more than that.

You mean...even better than carrol??

I don't want to turn this into another Torres discussion thread, but I too lost faith of him returning to his form at Liverpool. For me, the Swansea redcard was the last straw.

Our future captain PS: shouldn't we move this to the current squad in player database now that he signed a professional contract?

I agree, but I don't think Coyle will play him even if we don't finish the deal by sunday. LMAO I almost spilled my coffee reading that!

Thank you so much for the nomination guys. It means a lot to me. I voted for francozola because I always find her contributions meaningful.

It'll be broadcasted here in the middle-east, so it will probably be available for download...somewhere.

Hair?

That is just disgusting!

I don't think it is the first time that we go through this kind of "negotiations" with a player we are signing, its just the first time that everything went public in the papers.

Was training with the first team today: Any chance he can feature against portsmouth in the FA?
