His agent has apparently said the news is nonsense - http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1339960/ter-stegen-barca-link-nonsense?cc=4716

Hiddink talks about Anzhi and more... http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1339978/anzhi-makhachkala-boss-guus-hiddink-not-just-there-for-money?cc=4716

Time for the real Champions League to kick off tonight..

Jose just oozes confidence and class!

Madrid have 2 El Clasicos(1 in CDR and 1 in league) to deal with before facing United in the second leg. Not ideal.

Geoff Shreeves needs to be sacked!

Worth remembering that the last time we played a team in FC Copenhagen just after their long winter break, we comfortably won 2-0 in Denmark in the CL. Sparta Prague could be feeling rusty or perhaps not too rusty. We shall see but if we do our job properly, then we should win this.

True but then, Arsenal won there 2-0 on both occasions in 2005 and 2007.

Can you guys just stop the petty arguments right now? It's getting nonsensical and moving to the point where it is derailing the thread. If you guys wanna have a go at each other, do it via PM or somewhere else outside this forum. That is unless you guys want to end up getting a warning...

Not this argument again.... Just be glad that he joined us instead(due to our CL win) and improving us as a team.

Watched the Celtic v Juventus game earlier. Have to say Celtic were quite average. Attacking wise, it was just cross after cross after cross. Perhaps better quality would have probably made the difference for them but there was hardly any craft/invention that comes from elsewhere. Made it predictable and easy for Juventus to defend.

Poor Neil Ashton. Revealed! Daily Mail scores own goal over Chelsea scouting dossier

Juventus biasness. For Celtic to have a chance of progressing, they need a win or 0-0 draw tonight. A score draw or defeat and they'll be heading out.

Took his goal tonight exceptionally well. Though he still got a few things to work on, he has improved massively since last season.

Never dived in Hazard. Never dived in!!

Oh joy. What is the point of starting him in the U21s when that should be happening in the Europa League this Thursday?!

There is a difference between guessing and just constantly seeming to get things right about us. Neil Ashton seem to have someone at the club providing information like this to him. This doesn't seem to happen a lot with other clubs, does it? If they really want to impress us, it would probably be better of them to release the scouting report on Stoke, Arsenal etc after our wins over them rather than Wigan. They are silly if they think they're gonna convinced us about Benitez with this leak. Furthermore, this is not the first time our scouting reports have been leaked.

Not the first time such information has been leaked though. AVB's dossier for Newcastle under Mourinho was exposed, even AVB's supposed lineup against Napoli was leaked and same thing happened with RDM's plan to play Hazard as the 'False 9' against Juventus. Don't think the entire report was published. There has to be more to it such as pages of analyzing Wigan's style and pattern of play etc.

Seems like Atletico aren't too keen on him...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2276641/Chelsea-scouting-report-Wigan-match-revealed.html?ito=feeds-newsxml#axzz2KZzUOwcu Scouting report for Wigan has been leaked. Another information that should be kept private has been left exposed!

Congrats Mikel! He's now a European and African Champion.

Congrats Moses! Now come back and do your thing for us!

Selling Courtois wouldn't make sense when most of our recent buys have been players for the future and Courtois fits into the bill. And furthermore, does the club know that there are other strikers out there apart from Falcao?! The obsession with him is just plain silly! If Asenjo really is an excellent GK, Atletico probably wouldn't have been so persistent in keeping him previously. And wasn't he dropped for favor of De Gea previously as well??

Surprised to find his thread still in the Transfer Talk section. Have moved it here since he's a player of ours already.
