We'll win this comfortably, 2-0 or 3-0. Anyone thinking we'll net 12 in the first game back is insane.

Perfect signing, really. If Cech gets injured, we won't be playing Hilario or Blackman, but a man with over 500 Premier League appearances, and over 150 Premier League clean sheets. Him being here isn't going to upset the apple-cart; he'll probably be gone by this time next year, or if Cech decides to leave or for some reason Courtois is farmed off on loan again (can't see this happening, but you never know!), he can stay on for a further year.

He genuinely has the best ass I have ever seen. Imagine that ass on Eva....

Looks like Chelsea listened to me, called this over a month ago! I bet they're absolutely kicking themselves they turned down £7,000,000 for him. FUCKING LOOOOL

I bet Norwich are absolutely KICKING THEMSELVES they didn't accept £7m for John fucking Ruddy! :lol

Called this one ages ago

Said it about ten times... Mark Schwarzer.

^ because to sign him would end his career - he is nowhere near Cech's or Courtois' level. This signing makes no sense, NO SENSE whatsoever. Don't give me the "he's English" excuse. £10 million? Absolute bollocks.

I'm going to pretend that was a deliberate mistake. You noticed it. You pass the test. Well done.

Dave says hi. Makes that 8-3 as far as I'm concerned.

We don't need and out-and-out centre-forward. We need effectively a false number 9, because that's how our team has operated since Drogba left.

^ can see him become part of Mourinho's team here when he retires.

Okay, I'm going to close the poll! Tom is the winner! Congratulations, mate!

That black V spoils it, in my view. Shame, as otherwise it would have been nice. And why is the sponsor so high?!

I like Thorgan because of his name. It has "Thor" in it. Fully expect him to be sent out on loan again next year.

People shouldn't worry about his wages too much. We've just offloaded Malouda, who, if memory serves, was on something close to £90,000 a week. Many rumours suggested Benayoun was on at least £70,000 a week as well. That more than covers the £160ish million it will take to pay DDR's wages.

Also I'm not doing any more username requests this month, unless they're minor. I'm still mourning Artinho RIP!

Seriously? You'd been registered for like, 20 minutes, before requesting a name change! Done! It took longer than I thought it would actually Changed for you, anyway!

^ yeah. They're reliable, unbelievably quick dispatch.

^ best home kit done by adidas this summer after our's, Bayern's, and West Ham's, in my very humble opinion. A brilliant effort.

Better than some of the shit I've read in General Chat this month...

WhY? I tHiNk SkUnK sUiTs YoU rEaLlY wElL!

I think that's part of his medical. Eat twenty Big Macs in five minutes.

^ most people said something similar when Yaya Toure came to City, yet he is probably the league's most dominant central midfielder. DdR isn't as good as he once was, but for £10 million he'll give you three seasons at a level far higher than Mikel or Essien can contribute.

^ I absolutely agree. The sad thing is, I can see the club shitting £25 million on someone like Mario Gomez, just for the sake of him "being available".
