While I know not everyone is on Twitter, can't help but to think that it will be better congratulating him on that site where he can and will actually see the messages. Anyway, nice to have a World Cup winner in the team. :blue scalf:

Chelsea open discussions to bring Didier Drogba back to Stamford Bridge as a second choice striker and coach

To those who said Willian will be getting a full pre-season or even just pre-season this time, do you realize that by the time he returns from his break, the season will be starting already? Spain got knocked out in the group stage at the end of last month, or more specifically, 23rd June and the Spanish lads will only be back on 21st July.

DEN Y U NO GNAWMEENATE IM?

One of the MOST cringeworthy promotion posters EVER! Liverpool need to overhaul their staffs working at the club. First, that PR debacle with the Suarez situation and now this.

The problem is so much more than just having no one good at playing through balls. How do you expect one to play through ball when the players don't make off the ball movement? Hardly anyone make themselves available to receive the pass, getting in behing defenders and/or even just move about to drag players around and creating space for to play those through balls. I mentioned this several times last season, when we play with Hazard-Oscar-Willian, we don't have enough runners off the ball. All 3 of them like to get on the ball and dictate/create things from there. Only Schurrle and arguably Salah provide off the ball movement. Oscar can do that as well but since his job was to create more than anything else, then we don't get much from him in terms of that.

That's quite a lot of money spent there and we already knew Courtois will be playing for us next season anyway..

Like I said, I don't really agree with TOPTB's point about Bertrand either but just that your counter point wasn't too convincing. That's all.

While I don't necessarily agree with TOPTB's view about Bertrand, not sure that is a good counter point though. I mean, Torres has won an FA Cup, Champions League and Europa League as well but look at his state...
