G'day from England, welcome to TC.

He isn't a money grabbing cunt at all. He left because he was basically froze out of the team. He's had a good time at Madrid so far, and good luck to him for next year.

Lollichon also worked as a fitness coach alongside Glen Driscoll to replace Rui Faria, I believe. His methods of goalkeeper training are excellent, he certainly works the keepers to their core.

He's already maturing into one of the best centre midfielders of his generation and I'm sure that in a couple of seasons, he will be the first name on the teamsheet.

His record at Chelsea was excellent, noone can deny that. Even if you believe it was all down to Clarkey and the boys, he was the manager and he gets the recognition of getting Chelsea to two cup finals and second in the league by 2 points. Good luck to him.

Same. No deal can be agreed without Kenyon, who's STILL on fucking holiday.

Completely agree. Would be nice to keep him because he is a raw talent, but he needs time to mature into the good player we all know he is capable of becoming, and he just won't get that time at CFC.

I still don't think he'll go. I really don't.

Its very uncommon for deals to be made even this early in the summer. As badboy says, as the window officially opens in July 1, we'll see plenty of players moving to and fro.

I agree. We certainly need to look for the next generation in the likes of Moutinho and Ribery.

I can. Its the final year of his contract, he may wish to play it out.

Seems a good player, but he would never get into the team, I don't think.

XD

I'm on holiday next week So I'll do the results when I get back - gives extra time for people to get their votes in.

Well I'm going to be away in Greece for a week from this Monday, I hope you can cope without me

Lahm

I remember watching him against us at the Bridge in 2005, looked a great player then. He's matured so much and is a cracking player, absolutely cracking.

Hah, his monobrow is great, adds friction for when he's heading the ball in the rain

No-one is forgetting Ballack, its Lampard pure contribution to the team that makes him one of the best in the world.

Ronaldinho has very good pace, actually. Not only that but he's also very strong, I remember him bashing JT to the floor in the 1-1 draw at the Nou Camp in 2005/06 before he smashed it beyond Big Pete. Plus he's got more skill with a ball than any other play, he'll make Ronaldo's showboating look like shite.

That would have been sweet, GZ. Great game.

Because Felipao is Big Phil in Portuguese But yes I agree with you, Scolari is not a long term appointment, he'll be gone before the turn of the decade, most likely.

Ballack will actually be 32 in September, so a two year extension would suit him and the club.

Both are absolutely brilliant

SL gate five, what memories I have of there. Bayern 4-2, Portsmouth 2-1, Spurs 2-0, Wolves 5-2... some great matches.
