Precisely. That would be like Richard Branson buying a club and having Virgin sponsor them.

I see your point though, for every one Josh there are 100 Walcotts. This could benefit English football... and benefit us (first dibs on the Fabregas/Pique-like rejects of the future )

Olympique de... HULL?

As do I. This is the start of something special, trust me! The last time I was this sure of something we won the fucking Double!

Cannot wait for this game, I know it is only a pre-season game but I have missed my Chelsea!!

When people make a post just with that emoticon it is absolutely pointless, and I have started deleting posts with nothing else in them. As for the emoticon itself, I quite like it!

Billy is one option plus with his versatility you have another midfielder in the squad with him. I'd like to see Todd Kane given a chance, I really rate this kid. Still a couple of years and a loan move away from first team football though.

Pretty funny though!

Haha there's no need to delete it, just some people might take it the wrong way! My sentiments exactly. Precisely, unless you score 30 goals a season you are evidently not good enough for this club.

I'll let you know after four more friendlies

What a fucking numpty. Omar scored against us when we trounced them 4-1 in 2003. That 'famous victory' never even happened

Because that won't happen, we simply don't have the finances.

Next person to mention Torres in this thread gets suspended, I'm fed up of sifting through bullshit not even on target or related to van der Wiel. Justin has been saying to get back on topic and yet people fail to take heed. Fed up of it.

My argument is this - watch Fernando go this season. And while you're at it, have faith that he'll pull through. Class doesn't just desert a man.

I think AC Milan forcing Real to pay £61 million for Kaka beats the lot in honesty. Torres will come good, you'll see. And I'll laugh in the face of those who doubted him.

I agree Torres has to be judged based on this, his first full season, but there is no need to label people idiots.

There's having a good argument, then there's being an ignorant moron. Labelling Torres 'undoubtedly hopeless' is quite simply the produce of a deeply confused mind.

:lol: TROLL!

About time.

For the record, I don't see how people call Zlatan a flop at Barcelona when he scored 22 goals in his only season there. I believe he scored more goals for Barcelona in 09/10 than he did last year for Milan.

When Torres wins the golden boot and we win the league, will you have faith in him then? However this is a thread on VdW, so let's get back on track...

Ivanovic and Bosingwa are better than any other right-back in the Premier League, I really think we're wasting money on buying VdW.

No, because if you sign Cristiano Ronaldo he goes into the first team. A squad signing if a back-up player, ie. Benayoun/Ferreira. First XI signings and squad signings are different.

Only by impatient fans threatened by Liverpool signing the likes of Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson.

AVB double-bluffing, Emperor Palpatine style. He wants the Bothan Spies Daily Fail journalists to see this information, so he can destroy the Rebels opposition with his brand-new Death Star and fleet of Star Destroyers!! Torres and Drogba!
