Somewhat? Could have used the 38m more wisely and perhaps spend on 2 quality players instead.

Lille's 12/13 Home Kit... http://www.losc.fr/actualite-foot-lille/infos-club/umbro-habille-les-dogues-pour-la-saison-2012-2013 That blue part around the neck on the kit...

38 million?! We've been ripped off by Porto!!

Yup. They don't really have a big squad and Bielsa hardly rotates them. Had a long compaign with the Europa League included and it didn't exactly help them either with the fact that they play a high energy pressing, attacking game under Bielsa.

Capital One Cup?! That is just embarrassing! Gonna just continue calling it the Carling Cup or League Cup.

No sign of us of even getting Modric this summer. And a creative midfielder is much more important than getting another defensive midfielder right now.

Apologies. Got flustered last night because over something at the time of post. On the subject, there were plenty of boardroom battles in Barcelona back then, Rijkaard weren't exactly getting the results on the pitch either and if you look through his Barcelona reign and their results, you will see how inconsistent they are compared to Guardiola's Barcelona. As a result of that, players became delusional & weren't performing due to the state of the club and there were some players that just generally weren't performing anymore.

To make matters worse, there are 5 Liverpool players in the England squad now, more than any other team!

The CL final is at Wembley next season. Maybe we should try getting Drogba on loan come then.

Not too serious I would think judging by what Hodgson said about it. http://sports.ndtv.com/euro-2012/news/item/191040-injured-frank-lampard-to-miss-euro-2012?pfrom=home-sports Could be just out for 2-3 weeks or so.

Said this before, why do we need Fellaini when we already have Romeu?! IF we are to purchase a central midfielder, at least go buy a creative one, which we desperately need and not another combative type of midfielder!

Ok, that just sums up the Liverpool fans. Pure delusional.

Marin on securing a first team place... http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2557/news/2012/05/30/3138140/marin-confident-of-first-team-place-at-chelsea-confirms

Maybe you should try doing some research on that. It's quite a drag.

It wasn't the Champions League semi final defeat that was the problem back then. Nothing to do with that. There were tons internal conflict at the club, lots of dead woods, players being delusional with the situation at the club and among others and Guardiola came in revamp the squad and settle things at the club.

Be thankful that he only misses two more games and not more.

Terry has been banned for 3 UEFA European club games after the red card against Barcelona. Will miss the UEFA Super Cup match and the first Champions League group stage game. Already served one of them in the final.

Aah, the 7-1 thrashing of VIlla. Good old days that.

Will not forget this from Zhirkov. An absolute quality goal.

Precisely my point but it's just that Roman may not convinced with that. Knowing Roman's obsession, he would want someone who has done it before and a big name manager to manage the club.

One thing that is probably counting against Robbie now was his playing style when managing us. Obviously, he did the right thing by implementing the style that suits the team to get those results, unlike AVB but that is what Roman probably not conviced with right now.

Everything likely to be done by next Tuesday. Deal to be announced within the next 24 hours. Medical to possibly be conducted this Sunday. Transfer officially announced on Monday.

Yeah. Just do not want the same thing like in the last pre-season to happen again after all the senior players came back looking tired and unfit because of the World Cup & grueling season in England for the new season.

Anything less than a month would be a good news for us.

Nothing on that yet.
