We missed Ballack, yes, but Deco's creativity would have gone a long way during the 'hard times.'

@TX - that was because of the World Cup. We should see a fair amount of experienced players... probably with four or five of the youngsters? Hilario Ferreira - Bruma - Ivanovic - Bertrand Mikel - Josh - Lampard © Sturridge - Torres - Kakuta I'm not saying that will be the team, but certainly a few youngsters in the squad.

Portsmouth vs Chelsea FC 16 July - Friendly - 1500 BST kick-off :cfc: MATCH CHAT HERE :cfc:

Let him go to Barcelona, and let Cesc rot at Arsenal. We win on two fronts - we buy someone who is neither ridiculously overrated or overpriced, and disenchanted Arsenal fans continue to curse then worship that overrated little runt. Good times!

If AVB pulls this off, I'll have his children.

I heard via Martin Lipton's favourite flipflop that we're in negotiations for Bixente Lizarazu as well.

Yeah, let's blow another £50 million on another player who can't play Premier League football

This is like FIFA 11 manager mode transfer season... ridiculous. Let's sign Messi for £240 million as well.

That's a really good point actually... form. We're not guaranteed Torres will even get fifteen goals next season (although I have faith he'll get double that...), so signing Falcao makes sense.

Yeah, now I am actually going to lock this topic. Maybe I'll re-open it in 2021 when he's suffered six career-ending injuries and well past his peak.

Fucking release clauses... the reason why average players are forcing transfer prices to sky-rocket. We don't need him.

No way will Arsenal sign him, he said he wants to win things.

Haha I think you've been there far too much the last few months anyway Steve, you've already driven me into a jealous craze twice!

You're welcome mate. Eventually we'll keep expanding the staff team as the forum swells in size, but for now we're very happy with the size and activity of the staff team - we just hope you lot are satisfied as well

Its a shame you're an arse as well, otherwise you'd have a nice shiny gold badge and you could be a legend on anotha forum.

Granted he misses chances... but I'd rather have Kalou than Owen or Bendtner...

We already have the world's best left back, there's no need to go out and buy the second best.

Always will love Kalou for his effort and the fact he scores some vital goals, but its time for him to move on and give Sturridge the game time.

Genuinely gutted about Clement. Our medical department is shit though, good riddance.

AVB is a manager as opposed to a first team coach, like Mourinho was... a manager involved in everything from grass roots to first team football.

If Andre comes in and revolutionises this squad, even if we don't win anything, removing the dead wood and the dying embers is FANTASTIC for our future... and for this man:

[Joe Cole]If I was a professional footballer and had the chance to play for Juventus or Liverpool, I'd jump at the chance. [/Joe Cole]

Well, I hate to say I told you so Even so... KING CARLO! A wonderful manager and person, forever etched into our club's history. Grazie!
