agreed, a retarded law

It's for countries outside EU I believe

He's been waiting for a work permit for 5 years I believe, I think they've given up on it... I don't think he wants to be a loan player forever, some stability will be good for him

Yeah, 4-2-3-1 is a variation of 4-3-3, something similar that City play. I can see it work with Modric and Mikel being deeper and De Bruyne/Mata/Kakuta ahead of them.

First things first, we need to get his signature, I don't think anything has been agreed with Genk and Atletico yet... My dream would be to have wings consisting of Mata, Hazard, De Bruyne, Kakuta and Sturridge... they are all incredibly versatile players, for example all of the first four can play in the hole and Sturridge can play as a striker. No defence in the world would have recipe to counter that kind of talent and versatility. Although I don't think we're gonna get Hazard, maybe he's not needed if Sturridge and Kakuta come good.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that the new winger is De Bruyne

I don't know if it's over, but I think we've milked the best out of him already... Seeing how things are standing and how we are signing youngsters atm, we might see masses leaving next summer, like Anelka, Essien, Drogba, Malouda, Kalou, Alex, Ferreira and Benayoun (if he doesn't leave now)... I think they are most likely to leave, although I don't think all of them will. Hilario or Turnbull might also be on the way with Courtois coming in. This could be the last season with the team that we all know driven by Lamps, Drogs, Essien, Malouda and Anelka... Although Drogba has already been reduced to bench and it's a matter of time before the same happens to Lampard.

This is just ridiculous... How can that fucking "75% of international games" or whatever rule be considered in giving a simple work permit? Fuck's sake what shitty laws do you have there?

You have SB in PES2011?

I agree, a midfield of Modric, McEachran and Mikel would be very creative and solid imho... Question is where do you leave Lampard, Ramires, Romeu and eventually Essien. Somebody will have to make way eventually and I'm afraid it's going to be either Essien or Mikel, but not this season. I think the club is slowly paving way for Essien to leave by bringing in Ramires and Romeu... he's becoming injury-prone and still has a respectable market value at 29 (soon).

CJ Revo, what's up with your grass? It looks like green concrete

What kind of message will that send to him... Be one of the best players in pre-season, sign a new long-term contract, get a new much lower number for new season, and still get loaned out... that won't make much sense.

"We have Ryo and AOC. Don't forget Ryo is our Ronaldo how would Mata improve that?"

Oh come on... Comparing Mata to Rooney is cruel. Actually on different pictures he reminds of different people, on some like AVB, on the others Beckham, Dani Alves or David Villa.

Let's face it, Silva was a bargain for City... Valencia wasn't going to make that mistake again

Torres

BBC Sport: "The deal is subject to a medical, with reports suggesting the 23-year-old could join for the Blues for £23.5m." What sites report £26m?

Howard Nurse or Mata? Mata deal has been confirmed and Mata... well, we'll see how good he is

I'm really hoping to see the new boys + Josh have some minutes in that game.

I hope Mata scores against them, or at least torments their defence

Isn't it 28m €? 28m £ is quite a lot and more than reported

He's about the same height and weight as me Makes me feel proud, representing the small killas (matas) out there
