Not sure how true are those figures but bloody hell, Marin earn more wages than Azpi!

Cheers for the clarification...as if I can't read them on my own.

Hardly detracts the point I made if they are having that thought to begin with, assuming if it's true. Whether we agree to that move is another issue.

Well, this should make things even more interesting...

No disrespect to Essien but blimey, Milan these days is like a home for average, old and crocked players..

Err, yeah...like it's gonna happen. Thread locked...

Kalou's spider hair..is the reason why we won in Munich. All hail King Salomon!

Why on earth would Hazard want to join PSG anyway? They may be rich and can offer him big money but one of the key reasons Hazard left France was to test himself at a higher level and achieve much bigger things elsewhere. Him going back to Ligue 1 right now is like a step backwards and moreover, he's a key figure under Mourinho and seems to be enjoying life here. There's nothing to suggest that he would want to go back to France, despite all these rubbish stories!

That I can see. It's just I dispute the stat in the article about Mata starting in the No.10 role 8 times when it has not been the case. He drifts in there, agree, but starting there, no.

You should be banned for that!

Courtois... http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9108411/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

TBF, think most of the points mentioned there has been discussed quite a lot in the forum. And not too sure if Mata has started 8 of 11 league games this season in the No.10 role. Pretty sure most of the time he started on RW and then rotating positions others in the No.10 position.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/december-manager-month-award-david-3005699 Mourinho has been shortlisted for the Premier League December Manager of the Month award, along with Pellegrini, Martinez and yes, Moyes!

Have found it amusing that Fergie has been criticized by the media for supposedly undermining David Moyes because he is attending every game. Fergie may be an influential and successful figure at United but to criticize him for that is just plain silly and ridiculous especially when the comparisons and whatever the connection those two have are being constantly highlighted by the media, of all people! If Moyes was doing well instead, they would probably be saying Fergie is his lucky charm! United have lots of problems and Fergie undermining Moyes because he attends every United game is not one of them. It's a rather petty excuse for Moyes's current failures, if anything. Weird to be moaning something related to United but gosh, the media can be damn bloody idiotic!

Courtois wants quick decision on future

A drama queen in fact...

And a very 'lusty' figure...

Don't be afraid to admit it Amels. We know you meant to say it's the latter.

You may feel so but there was no need to even say he's shit to begin with. Again, no need for that lads.

What a contribution to the discussion....................

Ah yes, again you're dismissing the value of what experience can bring and what one can learn from it. Not denying that Courtois has those credentials you mentioned but even with that, that doesn't mean he is already god-like and can't learn anymore to be even better than he is right now. I was asking a hypothetical question. You may be right, Schwarzer may stay beyond this season but then again, there is nothing to suggest the opposite won't happen. After all, he only signed a 1 year contract when he joined. So, I don't see how this is a spurious argument and all especially when it's a hypothetical question and one that could well happen.

The more hilarious part, if it happens, is to see the reaction of those delusional scousers.

You speak as though Courtois is this young and fragile child that needs to be protected all the time. I don't see how that is gonna cause problems having those 2 around, unless of course Courtois can't handle the pressure despite supposedly displaying good level of confidence for one so young. Moreover when Cech joined us, he didn't exactly have any issues of establishing himself ahead of Cudicini, did he? Snotty? All I did was being sarcastic, which was what you did in the first place... And again, you speak as though I have said we should keep Cech at the club for the next 10 years! I only said about possibly having those 2 for next season at the very least(!). I don't know whether we'll be having them 2 in the team after 2014/15 season but for the 2014/15 season itself, it's not exactly beyond possibility, is it? You speak of the possible issues it could bring and Cech earning big wages but yet doesn't seem to mention the benefits it can bring such as Courtois learning from Cech's experience. For starters, in training and then arguably in pre-season matches. There's no guarantee he will come in and just fit into what Mourinho wants right away. And just a question. Let's just say if Courtois does become our No.1 and Cech is sold, who do you think then can or would be our No.2? Schwarzer is a possibility but is he gonna continue playing after this season or wanna go elsewhere? Before anyone suggests Blackman, I doubt Mourinho is gonna have another young and inexperience GK as back-up.
