Got to move for this guy. Lacking depth at RB and now that Branna is suspended and misses the next 3 games, we could do with a high quality backup to challenge him for a place in the squad. Have to be honest, if we sign Debuchy I don't see Branna playing at RB any time soon unless Debuchy gets injured. I was speaking to another fan earlier about the Community Shield and he said Branna looked incredibly clumsy. In the pre-season games he didn't look completely reliable and had some bad moments in terms of positioning and when he had the ball at his feet as well, misplacing simple passes etc. He doesn't seem agile enough to be a RB either, hes very ermmm whats the word, lethargic... yeah lethargic. very sluggish.

Deco's chest pass there was absolute genius.

Expecting a win at least. Don't care what the score is. If I was Robbie I'd go for Luiz at RB imo, then take Cahill in to the middle. Unsure who will play there though could be Hutch, Luiz or even Bertrand. He played there with team GB.

I loved Deco, what a player. Even when he wasn't at Chelsea I still thought he was unreal. Such a shame we signed him when he was 30 or something.

Wasn't it not more a 4-3-2-1 with Malouda and Anelka tucked in more rather than out as natural wingers?

Thats it isn't it?

I wrote an idea in another thread about a certain formation we can play. Since others are pasting there ideas I will do the same .

Hope its not true or it looks like Berty will be pushed aside for this big heap of overrated crap. Wtf we aren't in Serie A fuck off SSN lololol!

If Mata and Hazard are going to play in the same team we might as well play 2 defensive midfielders as they offer no defensive cover at all. I'd be up for having Mikel and Witsel in the same team. May look negative but Witsel offers something in attacking anyway from set plays etc plus he is a decent passer of the ball who doesn't always go backwards constantly like Mikel (evidence: both games vs us in the CL). Also its not like they are the same player, they actually complement each other very well. Mikel is better at interceptions and distributing the ball, Witsel is much more aggressive and hard in the tackle compared to Mikel. Plus Witsel is much more mobile than Mikel.

Used to play as a midfielder when he was younger, wasn't good enough to play there, was played at CB, where he was obviously better by the time hes a Brazilian international footballer. End of story.

I remember a few goals from outside of the box. 1st one against Inter Milan, which was fucking amazing. 2nd one against Middlesbrough, which was equally as good. 3rd one against Fulham/Blackburn from a ridiculous place. Anyway hes better at scoring goals from in the box anyway, where we want him, rather than sitting as a CAM, being a useless waste of spunk.

Is there a video of all his touches today? (Except the backheel please I don't want to see that again )

We don't need a new RB lads we have "the golden oldie" Paulo Ferreira and Sam Hutchinson. Good enough cover if you ask me, if we want a RB we should resign Bosingwa.

He isn't injured now I don't think. Only said it because people are thinking Cavani could be Torres' strike partner. We will play with 1 striker likely but if it were up to me David Villa would be the perfect partner for him....as it worked effectively before.

What so if we played against United you'd be happy with Nani/Valencia up against Chalobah or Hutchinson........ I don't think so.

Why not try and sign David Villa if your looking for an ideal strike partner for Torres?? Common sense.

Branna was sent off and it was the right decision imo. I think we need a PROPER right back. Not a center back converted to a right back. Not just because Branna was sent off, just as you seen he was beaten to the ball by Kolarov of all people, hes literally one of the slowest full backs ever. Plus going forward hes too indecisive, he looks like he wants to cross it in, decides not too passes it backwards.

Seen his backheel, lolz. He'll get better in time, had a decent first half I heard, hes for the long term as much as the short term so we should be patient.

I would certainly take a risk on him. Scored 30 goals 2 seasons ago and was close to a move to UEFAlona. Also when he was at United he was there for a few years and was under 20 so wouldnt he not be classed as home grown?

True but we have got to try and take the likes of Zabaleta, Kolo Toure or Savic and expose them as they are ok but not the same quality as Richards and Kompany. We do that and we have every chance. Well if we do better than in pre season anyway...

Hes not that small either though, I think hes 5 ft 11.

No Hart, Silva, Balotelli, Kompany, RIchards and a few other players apparently. Jesus we could win quite easily here if we get our tactics right. Just get pacy players in behind Savic and Lescott if they're playing and score goals

Seen some Liverpool fan say this on faceybook hahahaha HAHAHAHAH LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL WHAT A IDIOT. "better off sticking with downing" hahahahha looooooooool made my night.

Not really Mano Manezes wanted his team to keep the ball, Ramires has a very average technique. His work rate, pace and acceleration is his best attributes. Not his passing, movement, creativity etc.

Why waste our time when we could scout in Brazil and sign youngsters from there as they constantly have promising players coming through OR EVEN BETTER DEVELOP SOME OF OUR OWN PLAYERS.
