God help us all if Stingay becomes the new moderator.

But then, Toure isn't a defensive midfielder these days...

Done. If it gets popular, then maybe we can create a sub-forum for it.

Good suggestion but I'm not sure if people would actively use the sub-forum.

So many Tony Pulis/Gus Poyet wannabes in here. No one got Wenger or Pellegrini yet?

"Brendan, is that you? Sometimes ruthless, sometimes democratic, you can make the tough decisions , even if occasionally you get them wrong. You are confident you know best – but you’ve not quite proven yourself at the very highest level yet."

And more taunting more from Mourinho... José Mourinho: I would not endure winless run against me like Wenger We are so going to lose on Sunday, aren't we?

Chelsea bid £17.5m for FC Augsburg defender Baba Rahman And apparently, it was a certain Avram Grant who suggested Baba Rahman to the club...

I nominate @The Skipper.

http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/07/mourinho-conference-live-on-chelseafc-com141111111112121111211.html Mourinho's pre-match presser at 2pm BST.

I'm just saying it's a possibility. City, just like us, are desperate to blood youngsters into the first team and unlike Mourinho, Pellegrini is probably less skeptical in using academy players.

..... Pellegrini has been using a Nigerian named Kelechi Iheanacho in this pre-season and the last. Might actually get into their team now that he's got his work permit in February.

It is risky, unless of course City are looking to buy someone or even promote somebody from their youth academy.

He still played there and did OK for them. And I think Pellegrini has been using him as a ST in pre-season. It's Pellegrini. What do you think? He's likely only to play 1 upfront in the big games.

Well, he did play upfront for Liverpool. So, he is a ST option for City and don't forget they still have Bony.

Chelsea hope third bid for Everton defender John Stones will convince Bill Kenwright to sell England international Bruce Buck is stepping in and hoping to convince Everton to sell Stones. He has a good relationship with Kenwright apparently.

Oh Barbara...

First Jovetic and now Dzeko. It seems City will soon have just 3 strikers (if we consider Sterling as one).

Make that 3 goals now. Netted a hat-trick in 13 minutes.

Bamford just scored for Palace in their friendly against Bromley.
