Not sure if we can judge him that way based on two performances against rubbish teams.

Pretty sure he will remember this...

Just came across this... http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/backofthenet/archive/2012/04/18/lionel-messi-thought-gary-cahill-was-just-a-turn-of-phrase.aspx

Rudi Garcia has confirmed Debuchy wants to leave. Will only let him go IF they can get a replacement though. http://www1.skysport...rm-over-Debuchy

Well well well, look what we have here...

Which Pereira can play there as well. Would be a good signing I suppose.

Oh puhleeze. That game was played in November 2010 and we played Copenhagen in February 2011. Stop being pathetic and trying to find excuses for your *ahem* ones!

Pleased for the lad but our pre-season squad seems to be getting thinner as each week passes!

Agree with that. Couldn't care less if he plays for Stoke or not. At least he will be tested in a much stronger league and playing against better players than the ones in Denmark. All I remember is he kept on diving and falling over dramatically when we played Copenhagen in Denmark last year.

Naah. A 'Champions League Winner' vs erm...a 'Europa League Winner'(?) sounds better.

I'm sure he gets that a lot on Twitter too. Doubt he bothers about it really. Most footballers get abused anyway. Just ask Ferdinand...

Just came across this... http://www.telegraph...by-Chelsea.html Mata on RDM getting the job. Slightly surprised to hear that from him. Thought he was a supposed ally of AVB, if you know what I mean... EDIT: Just realized it's the same article as the one I posted 2 pages ago. Completely missed that quoted above.

Found this. http://blogs.bettor.com/Juan-Mata-and-Oriol-Romeu-looking-forward-to-US-tour-a166520 Both Mata and Romeu has said they're looking forward to the US Pre-season tour.

As much as he was in great form last season, I would say no. His best position is in the CAM role and we have enough players for that role. More importantly though, he's already 29 y/o. We should be looking to get players younger than that.

Same here even though I don't agree with the fee for Hulk.

Not sure I would agree with that. They are well stocked in the wide areas and Rooney is United's main man to play behind the striker, which is the role that Hazard allegedly wants.

True but I just think with Hazard's dribilling skills, pace and trickery, he would be suited much more in the wide areas than in the middle. It's what we need and have been desperaely lacking for years now. And you can see that Mata doesn't have that kind of ability to beat his man when being played out wide under AVB.

Yeah but only problem is should we be wasting our time with Porto? They might not even want to sell him to us in the end. Even Moutinho himself said he wouldn't mind staying at Porto till the end of his career. Think it's best to get in all the wanted players ASAP so that the squad will be settled and get into gear when the season starts.

Hard to see Fergie paying higher than that for Hazard. He is after all only 21 y/o.

Ha! So much for trying to be positive. Difficult to imagine a player asking/demanding to play in a certain position during negotiation. Won't be believe all those stories till I see it happens on the pitch. If Hazard wants to play in that CAM, then he has to prove himself there. Won't be fair at all if he just comes in like that and takes Mata's place.

Hulk has been making noise but Porto are still playing hardball over the transfer.

Expected that. Don't see the reason of ditching Eddie after the part he played in our success last season and the fact that he was brought in by RDM himself as well.

Doubt Cabaye would cost anything more than 20m.

Have seen him play many times for West Brom before. A good creative player. Only question though would be, is he a Top 4 quality player? Not too sure about that TBH.

As said before, don't think many of us would mind him here IF you can help us to negotiate with Porto. I'm sure they will be hike up his price after his performances in EURO 2012.
