IF we are to go get him, I'm afraid Porto will try to rip us off again and demand something like 30m or even more than that!

Liverpool are in the Top 3 there as well...

Our name being thrown into the mix for Walcott is just one of those classic ploy to get a better contract from Arsenal.

Soon to be teammates...

Today.

Decent player. Has a good range of passing and an eye to deliver a pin point defence splitting pass. Getting rid of his hair must have woken up the inner Meireles.

Fair enough then I guess.

Have you actually watched him before or are you just judging him on this one game alone?!

Also said that they will find out very soon enough whether he will miss EURO 2012.

No doubt about that especially when you considered all the odds were stacked against us since that Napoli game.

The transfer is very well likely to be announced tomorrow. Only medical left to be done.

Simply because nothing has been announced yet?

This.

Am I the only one here thinking that Hazard is perhaps better to be used on the flanks? His pace and dribbling would be more useful there than in the CAM role where most teams would probably congest up the midfield. We have lacked that player in recent years who can run at the FBs at pace, getting in behind them and put crosses/create chances etc.

For real! He has not been 100% fit all week. Timmy Simmons will now replace him in defence.

Kompany injured in warm up!

Germany and Turkey but the latter crashed out to Croatia in the play-offs. Belgium finished just 2 points behind Turkey in the group.

Never specifically mentioned you.

Teamsheet: No Courtois. Picked up a minor injury last Saturday against Montenegro. And KDB out for 4 weeks with a broken toe.

Nobody seem to take real notice of it till we got Hazard.

Funny how suddenly most people are jumping into the Belgium bandwagon after we got Hazard...

Under Sam Allardyce? Oh no. Stoke might be a good fit for him.

On one hand, you said we have almost signed VDW(included in the 4 players). Then on the other side, you said there was a "reliable dutch rumour". IF there was a reliable Dutch source to this rumour, then it is not one anymore. Didn't see this "reliable Dutch rumour" anywhere yesterday or today. Right now, there isn't anything really concrete about this yet.

Not sure if there is a big difference in doing that. After all, Swansea just got promoted last season. However, it would be hilarious to see Dave Whelan going to the media and reporting every single move of Martinez again.
