To say Tiote was anywhere near Essien before his injuries is a mockery to the Bison.

We need a director of football whos actually got an idea of what hes doing. Louis Van Gaal would have been nice before he got the Holland job or that guy City ended up getting from Barca, could have aided our attempt to get Pep too... That Michael Elemano guy has some sort of idea but hes not the right man to be in charge of transfers.

So Mikel since is average... does that mean Jose Mourinho (Chelsea's greatest ever manager), Phil Scolari (WC winning manager), Carlo Ancelotti (CL winning manager), AVB (retard), Robbie Di Matteo (CL winning manager) and Rafa Benitez (CL winning manager) are all utter idiots who don't understand football at all? Comparing the Bison to Tiote is ridiculous. Essien could actually contribute going forward, he was an absolute beast physically and technically he was good, a complete midfield player, where as Tiote is good at running around and throwing himself into needless tackles half the time. There aren't many DMs that I can think of that are better than Mikel either tbh. So yeah hes one of the best in the world imo.

It doesn't take much footballing ability to do what Tiote does - run about like a headless chicken kicking lumps out of everyone getting booked regularly and sent off at least 5 times per season. Even Joey Barton could do a better job than what he does. We have bought technical players so if anyone was to replace Mikel it wouldn't be Tiote, hes one of the worst technical footballers I've ever seen. Mikel is a technical player anyway, so why we need another player there is pointless. Mikel is a fantastic option at DM, underrated by many, perhaps the only better DMs out there right now are Sergio Busquets and Javi Martinez. Personally, I'd prefer to see us going back to 4-3-3 as its a much better system for keeping the ball, better team shape, suits our players better and can go into a 4-1-4-1 / 4-5-1 when defending and when in possession can turn into a 3-4-3. Similar defensive shape to Jose's Chelsea team. Start: Defending: In possession: If Pep was to become our coach I bet you thats what his team would set up like too.

Pjanic in Lampard out, would be a good move.. no offence to Lamps but hes past it

Sign him up then! 7 or 7.5 mil release clause plus he guarantees you 10-15 goals per season. Him, Walcott and Pjanic (since we are linked with both Walcott & Pjanic) in = brilliant window.

Warming to the idea of signing him, 11 goals so far this season I think. Only problem is he goes to ACN in January I think...

Today Luiz was a billion times better than Cahill.

All he done was kick lumps out of our midfield, if we wanted a shit player who could kick lumps out of people we would ask Roy Keane to come out of retirement.

There is but if we can't beat Leeds and get to the final of this cup then surely we have no chance in winning the FA cup or Europa League. Even though I hope we still beat Leeds and win this cup which we are capable of! Just disappointed not to win any trophies so far, should have won that CWC game, we were so poor though.

I've seen stuff that Lyon have financial debt and would probably accept an offer between 10-14 million euros floating about on twitter. Wouldn't be surprised if true. Unsure how good he actually is, maybe worth a punt maybe not.

Lose to Leeds and forgot any trophy this season. Imagine if we lost to Leeds, fucking joke of a team.

We are turning into Arsenal mes think.... fs

Knew I'd got the guys name wrong, was going to check it but I couldn't be bothered, too busy reading inverting the pyramid to check

No did I fuck hahaha, I said hes the next Zidane because he headbutted that gremlin who plays CB for Stoke like Zidane did to Marratti in the WC final in 2006.

Watched a music channel and I see Girls Aloud are back together, what a bunch of utterly untalented, washed up idiots. Wonder how long they'll last? 2 months before chucking the towel in because they are shite. Probably the person you'd least expect that comment to come from too hahaha.

I already done it hours ago.. am I an idiot :( :(

There was a few before, but the CWC has attracted more I think which is great. Nice to have different nationalities joining the forum

Funny they've rated Paulinho better than Ramires, that Emerson Sheik the same as Hazard (LOL WHAT THE FUCK YOU STUPID BASTARDS HAHA), Felipe Santos only 2 stars behind Ashley Cole, seriously do Brazilian football journalists realize Cole has been the worlds best LB since Roberto Carlos retired or what?

Watching the highlights of the Stoke-Everton game. Felliaini should have made an easy interception in the second half, messed it up and Stoke got a great chance to score. For being a 6 ft 5 DM, he should of easily made that interception with his leg. Also the headbutt is disgraceful, he also tried elbowing Shawcross on purpose, then punched him. Hes really good at giving away fouls. I know I said up there it was funny at first but its really ridiculous to do in fact. He didn't offer anything in attack today, was shite. He was totally dominated in the air today, so basically if you can stop him in the air hes not even effective. Anyway if we want to sign a Belgian, lets get Benteke... Haha not just saying that because of how he played today. Watched him since the start of the season, hes a good all round striker, good at holding it up, bringing others into play, strong in the air, strong on the ball, good finisher gives 110%, runs the channels etc. Lambert benching Bent for him has been justified so far.

Looking forward to seeing a Josh - Chalobah midfield pairing sometime in the next couple of years. Along with the KDB, Oriol, Mikel and Ramires our midfield will be excellent.

Ronaldo has won a WC though unlike Klose haha. Ronaldo was a much better player than Klose anyway imo. Still both got great WC records.

God damn you Klose...

I say we sign him now just so he can headbutt that hacking prick Shawcross every time we play Stoke. Hate Shawcross so much, fucking rugby player. But yeah buying a player just to headbutt a Stoke City player is kind of a waste haha.

Fellaini = next Zidane.
