Let's not get carried away, he's retired from France duties about 9 times already anyway.

I thought they'd be too busy with Ronaldo's future to pester DD and Lamps again, but their bullshit must extend to the furthest reaches of the world, it seems.

I'd like to see them have a tour of Championship teams, good opposition and locally based. Plus we'd potentially attract more fans from those regions.

No-one will know until 28 days before the match, probably.

I imagine as a second assistant. When José arrived, he brought Brito who speaks word-perfect English apparently. Maybe why.

I swear both Frank and Kenyon are on holiday

You're telling me you wouldn't have Ronaldo in your team? As much as a twat I think he is, he's the best player on the planet.

Standing and singing my heart out in the pouring rain. Perfect.

Sell Belletti, Ben Haim, Alcides and Ferreira. I think we should keep Boulahrouz.

My sincerest condolences.

Its as simple as trusting his judgement. Afterall, he is a manager of top pedigree.

There are many things that give us an edge over Manchester City. Firstly the life and culture in London is something that would surely attract Ronaldinho, especially since there is a restaurant in Fulham called Gaucho Chelsea is a household European name that plays in the Champions League, challenges on four fronts every year, and has an all-round better squad than City. We have Belletti and Alex who are Brazilians and would welcome another to the Chelsea ranks, and we have a manager who Dinho enjoys playing under - plus we have many Portuguese players who he can talk to. Plus Abramovich will offer him a good contract to boot.

There's no need to think like that, Lampard won't leave. If he wants extra money, he will tell Scolari. Scolari is very intelligent and will go to the board and tell them to offer him an improved deal, because I am sure someone of his stature is well aware of Lampard's importance to the team, the fans and the club as a whole.

It would certainly be worth it, in my opinion. Although I may have Lyon tinted contact lenses on at the moment, I genuinely think his pace and dribbling ability would certainly give us another option.

We'll get much more than that for the three of them, but I don't think Belletti will leave. Pizarro will go to a German club, most likely.

Gone for the £10 junior one, it means ticket priority and the free magazine as well. Cracking value.

Yeah, completely agree. Its clear he wants to get his career back on track and LFS can offer that opportunity

I can safely say your English is better than some of our English members. Welcome!

Thats likely, Ferguson is synonymous to whinge.

The end of a golden era for Les Bleus. Time for Benzema, Toulalan, Nasri and company to take centre stage.

Is anyone else getting the vibe that KB dislikes 'Dinho?

I agree. I haven't supported the Blues as long as you, KentBlue, but I understand your concern. My dad always talks about meeting up for pre season games in the 80s and how they used to be up and down the country.

Yup, he was actually very important to what little title challenge Barca posed last season. Scored some vital goals and they missed his freekicks in the CL against United.

Scolari has worked with Deco for years, he knows what he will get. I trust his judgement, and Deco would therefore be a good addition.

Completely agree with Stamford. The money from Sidwell's move would make this effectively peanuts.
