Look on the bright side, though it is vital to get a RB and a ST, at least we have gotten the big players in already.

Have no problem whatsoever if McEachran is loaned to a Championship team. Right now, he desperately needs to play week in week out to gain experience and get better. A loan to another Premier League club might have been better but given what happened last season, that may not be such a good idea and with the great competiveness in the league and teams afraid of suffering relegation, they might not be so patient with McEachran IF he is not performing well. However, just look at Bertrand. Was loaned out 5 times to 5 different clubs and none of them was in the Premier League and look where he is now. An FA Cup Winner. Has a Champions League Winner Medal. Started & played in the Olympics. And now earning his first England senior call-up.

Lampard in the hole just ain't gonna work. Not suited to play in that role. And Ramires offers lots of defensive protection down the right side. In big games like this, I have not much problem with him starting at RW if our plan is to play on the counter attack.

Hope Steve Clarke utilizes him more than Brendan Rodgers did with McEachran.

Hamstring injury?! Hope it's nothing serious. Just a shame that he won't be available for the game on Sunday.

Yes. That was before I found out the rule has changed. Sorry.

Had the same thought but apparently, they have changed the rule.

Great!

Congrats to the lad. A well deserved reward for all his hard work and patience he had shown.

He obviously has been learning from Hazard. At 0:30..

Seems that Azpilicueta will be cup-tied in the Champions League if he join us UNLESS Marseille fail to qualify for the Europa League group stage. http://sport.stv.tv/...a-competitions/

Liverpool to win the league is arguably the dumbest thing to be listed in there.

Looking forward to the Supercoppa Italiana tomorrow between Juve and Napoli. Good luck Solonapoli.

This 'Park The Bus' issue has been completely blown out of proportion. It would be totally silly to do that and hope for the best. We are most likely to sit back and play on the counter especially when we have better attacking threats now in Hazard and Marin. IF we try to attack and take the game to City, we will be torn apart, just like what happened in the opening 20 minutes or so in the home game against City last season. Our defence are not solid enough and midfield doesn't offer a lot of protection to it for us to do that just yet.

And as if Juventus are gonna sell him to us when they are looking to become a big force once again. IF we don't get Azpilicueta, then we should look to hijack Newcastle's move for Debuchy.

Preparing Hazard as the 'False 9' for when Guardiola to take over eh?

Azpilicueta on the bench for Marseille tonight in their Europa League second leg match.

Safe to say that if Carlo doesn't win the league title at the very least this season, he will be sacked at the end of it.

Erm, no. Right now at his age, he needs to be playing week in week out to gain experience and develop into a better player. Playing the odd game here and there for us is not gonna be beneficial to him.

So? Does that mean we should just keep Mata on the bench whenever we come up against physical opponents?!

1. Win at least 2-3 of the cup competitions we're in this season. 2. Finish in the Top 3 in the league and this is a must! Can't see us winning the title again just yet. This season, it's all about building the foundation to challenge consistently for the league and other competitions in the future.

As you said, that would be in a few seasons time. A loan move for Sahin may not necessarily be a bad thing now though I'm not sure if Mourinho will let him come here even IF we are interested in him.

Can't say I'm excited in any way about this transfer...

Too little too late now...
