I think getting an away goal will be crucial. In the return leg at the bridge, it will probably be a good idea to use the same tactic we adopted against Valencia. If we give them possession we'll be eliminating the factor of pace (their best asset imo) from their attack, and hit them on the counter.

You misunderstood me. I meant that Chelsea won't sign a renowned player for less than triple his value. It has nothing to do with Pato, whom I don't think we should sign for any price.

25 millions for Pato? No way we'd take him for less that 75!

I thought we should have a thread to keep up with what every one else is doing in the Transfer market. PS: Please try to stay away from crazy rumors. I'll get the ball rolling here: Landon Donovan is set to rejoin Everton on a two-month loan. http://news.bbc.co.u...ll/16209648.stm http://www.mlssoccer...ortlands-new-dp Trezeguet is moving back to Argentina to join River Plate. http://www.soccernew...a-return/84863/ http://soccernet.esp...r-plate?cc=4716

This is exactly the kind of signing I expect AVB to make. An under-rated player that will cost less but deliver more. Personally I'd take him over Cahil anyday.

Tough Draw. Was hoping for Zenit, but hey, it's more fun to do it the hard way.

Well neither does Llorente or Soldado. He has little choice.

This is no news. He suffered a set back of 10 days a couple of weeks ago which postponed his expected return from the start of Jan to it's middle. I doubt he was going to be chosen to play in the ACoN anyways, Ghana does have other players, you know. It's not that serious, Sky are just being dramatic to get more views.

Hahaha good one!

This is U17, not reserve.

That looks very painful. And at his age he'll be lucky to be back in form in 6 months.

I believe he is fit again. AVB said in the pre-match conference that only Essien is out.

Add to that Josh starting or coming on as a sub, and you have my vote for presidency.

Good win for the boys yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3dNgFMqwvo&feature=g-u&context=G192abFUAAAAAAACAA Any one got a link for the Piazon goal please?

I have a feeling that our Jan signings will be no one we expected, just like Mata and Romeu. AVB showed he has great ability to spot talent, and I'm hoping he proves that again in Jan.

That does make a lot of sense, because it can't possibly be legal to force someone to sell a property he owns if he does not want to.

You never know, maybe he wants to leave Real Madrid, after all he is second choice to Karim Benzema.

The press must be really running out of shit to write about us if they are going back to this.

Pep said the rumor is a total lie. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/996354/barcelona%27s-pep-guardiola-labels-david-villa-sale-reports-a-%27lie%27?cc=4716

I know Feruz is good, but I don't think he can play in two positions at the same time!

^^ Great finish there!
