  1. yep. rome wasn't built in a day. if javi garcia is worth about 20mil, then the market is just not right on CM's. we will sign a CM though...eventually moutinho maybe available next window now that he pissed on Tottenham's wounds
  2. they will get it together. anything we do next will be an improvement. but the defensive mishaps are worrying now. a defence which kept an attack of cavani, lavezzi, hamsik and maggio at bay a mere 6 months ago suddenly can't handle falcao and adrian? me thinks its because we are not regaining our defensive shape quickly after an attack
  3. Oriol Romeu <---- that's why Essien was loaned out
  4. atletico just took a piss on us but i don't think it's anything to worry about. just have to concentrate better in defence against quick counter attacking teams.
  5. yeah mate. not serious but what happens exactly though? you look around for english forums of the club concerned and post your questions there?
  6. Steve doesn't deserve the beer... TC members suggested the questions! but if anyone deserves a beer, its Derek Maaijen for the response he has given to the questions
  7. Shakhtar Away 3 days before United at home in the league. Will have to rest players for that. shouldn't be too hard edit: Juve away right before City home. oh dear
  8. this deal makes no sense. letting dan go will leave us with only 7 senior Home-Grown Players - Turnbull, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Bertrand, Lampard and Moses. that means we have to register a reserve player in the 25 man squad. Daniel Sturridge is needed in the squad for this simple reason
  9. Let's see if they can make use of it this time
  10. its allright. as long as we avoid dortmund in pot 4, this is a doable group
  11. wouldn't mind valencia i guess Last two times we've got Valencia we've reached the final. And the final is at Wembley this time
  12. oh come on mate. relax. it'll be fine. we'll probably get a russian or ukrainian team though. there are 3-4 of them in pot 2
  13. the other half of the story
  14. probably but the fixtures we have after the CL games look intimidating. so probably wouldn't want a toughish team as well.
  15. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19385661 A really good read about what actually happens on transfer deadline day across Europe
  16. hazard will be player of the month but i don't think they're gonna name rdm manager of the month.. will the sept 1-2 games be included for the awards?
  17. Switched off is a vague term. we put ourselves under pressure after the 2nd goal and even against reading we were being sloppy and being bombarded with quick counters by mcanuff and mcleary. swansea have controlled the 2 games they have played. that's the reason i said they have looked better..
  18. i want to avoid dortmund. our defence will be troubled by quick tricky players like gotze, blaszczykowski and also lewa up front.
  19. yeah but struggled against wigan and for a moment against reading. swansea completely bossed their first two games. ....laudrup has continued brendan's work.....
  20. yeah.. moreover, they'll now be hurt by sinclair's sale as well assuming he eventually joins city to replace johnson on the bench..
  21. nope. they may have scored scrappy goals against west ham but their play was Boss. controlled aggression.. but yeah, 2 easy games so far
  22. i disagree with valencia. we have faced valencia already last season and a few years ago in the QF's. As Choulo mentioned, it's nice to face new teams.
  23. i would love it if Chelsea were drawn with Celtic, Ajax and Schalke. Celtic because there's less travel, Ajax because they won't defend with 10 men and Schalke because in Pot 2 - Benfica - already STFU'd last season - Valencia - likewise - ManC - impossible - Braga - portugal -shakthar, zenit and dynamo kiev involve a lot of travel. so i hope we get schalke
  24. swansea have been much better than the 2 of us though
  25. Good thing we're settled with our 25-man squad. no late transfer scrambling this time. tottenham look promising if they can get in dembele and hold on to their players. they can challenge fulham for a top ten finish
