Plenty of other defenders I would've chosen before him, though 7m is a very good deal, especially in today's market.

Very well said.

I think modric has been Tottenham's best player, much smarter than Scotty. Parker has been good, I'm not denying that, but he would probably not be on that list if he wasn't an Englishman.

Why is Scott Parker even on the list?

He's a bit like Romeu, only stringer and with no where near Romeu's passing skills. Famous for getting sent off against Liverpool for a tackle that shouldn't have even been given as foul. Hobbies include scoring against man u. s

Has the league started yet? I joined but my team does not have any scheduled matches yet.

Bayern sitting nicely on the top of the table with that win over Koln despite going down to ten men in the first half. They are looking more like champions by the week.

Spot on with the Cole analysis, I thought we would've gotten at least a couple in the first half were he having a better day. In general the work-rate put in by our players was unacceptable, especially by our midfield that was almost static in the first half. I thought that AVB did well with the tactical changes and the subs (considering the players he had on the bench), and maybe the proof that he was let down by the players is the fact that the late goal we conceded was a combination of three schoolboy errors by each of Iva, Bos, and Cech.

This could actually be good news for us, especially with our current thin squad, we'd be more likely to get the three points against Fullham if the match is postponed.

Great to see the boys giving back.

If JT is fit: Cech Iva-Luiz-JT-Cole Romeu Rambo-Lamps/Meireles Danny-DD-Mata This will be the first Chelsea game since last season's opening match that I won't be able to watch live.

Valencia agree terms with Van der Weil. http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2011/11/30/2781177/valencia-keen-to-sign-ajax-defender-gregory-van-der-wiel Manu target Erikson. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Manchester-United-monitoring-Ajax-playmaker-Christian-Eriksen-article844695.html

Great job Jim The loading times are terrific.

The way I see it, Danny's speed is his best asset and the wing the place to take full advantage of it. He has already shown that there are very few fullbacks that can stop him.

It looks like manure will get him.

I like him, but I see little sense in signing him with Romeu and Josh.

If I'm not mistaken he has scored less goals this calender year than Torres.

That is true....but does not change the fact that AVB made the mistake of promising him first team minutes when he can't deliver.

While we're at it, let's bench Mata, sell Danny and....maybe kill JT!

I refuse to believe this until I see them both freezing their butts off in Russia.

This loan move is about 5months over due.

Worst part is, all the reports and media attention actually affect the what type of players we sign and how much we sign them for. If we were going for Gaitan, all the papers would be writing about it, his price will suddenly rocket sky-high and he would probably end up at City!

Roma are hardly a top side, they are 9th (if I'm not mistaken) and their top man is Totti :giggle:

It's not like he has better options. Our squad is already too thin with that Alex and Anelka leaving, if you take out those players as well you'll barely have 11 players left.

No...he's helping the team.
