Then I disagree with those smart posters Weak mind? You already tried to pass yourself off online as a "big thing" on a computer and admitted to being but a teenager. The fact that you aren't embarrassed by the big thing comment is beyond me and I would die laughing if your friends/family saw that. If that doesn't scream "Internet hardass", I am not sure what does.

If it means a few goals on free kicks, I am for it as long as he isn't signed for much Outside of that, not interested

Agreed. We got it the first 10 times he said it. It still is laughable

Yea, I don't think so

I absolutely can see us being a contender for the Champions League Absolutely

Just reading over United's forums, their fans are justifying it by talking about how they will be a "better team" and "save money" and still be able to buying others I think in a sense they are right about all three but they still will miss his goal-scoring BIG TIME I am sure they will get someone AND they will still have a solid team.....but he will be missed

wow

Pato by far

Agreed Just as I said in another thread, give me the big spending over the big selling I couldn't care less if others think we "bought" a title. Let them complain as we continue winning

Great to hear that he is willing to talk Unlike others, it seems we may have a bit of leverage here if he wants to come. Now, do I think it happens? No but I would much prefer a situation where we have someone who who like to come to us even if the management says no. If the player goes to the management and wants out, it could happen

Good stuff but I will pass on almost all stuff like that

If we offered more and he still choose elsewhere, there isn't much we could do Crap happens We did our best and should move on

Ah, I love it The media creates a story which produced numerous "Chelsea should be embarrassed" articles.....and of course....none of it is true Now, I do believe we showed interest in him (as I said previously) and probably made some waves to get him but the stories going after us were about the record bid, not that we were trying to get him.

I take a bit of comfort knowing people like him must live a miserable life full of anger and hate.

The Club was in bad shape before RA but I don't think it was close to the end for us (as in, a fire-sale around the corner) He has helped tremendously but he took an approach not followed too much in the football owner business....and it has worked I always get a kick reading an article or two about how bad we are financially when the author probably has not the slightest clue about debt management

Just going off the reports, make a high fee and see if they reach it. I am just not sure what that fee would be but more than the 1M mark given. The kid is only 19 and I am interested to see how he would do with the new coach coming in. Coaches can in fact make the difference for players

Everyone feels that way yet I don't find many who take it public to gripe Keep it to yourself and move on

Breaking even doesn't bother me As long as we are continuing to head in the right direction TOWARDS it, I will be happy Things like this take a LOT of time and depend on a LOT of things that can change thus making it incredibly difficult to do

I think many could be deemed greedy mother fuckers in our league I would rather be part of a greedy mother fucker than a cheap son of a bitch

As if CA didn't have enough pressure to win right away here, well.....this is even more on top of that Expect Guus to be rumored to be hired after every bad game

What a freakin pussy

I am not talking about all those names but I am specifically talking about Kaka We heard enough from enough to mean we made waves, imo Now, with others....I couldn't agree more it is funny at times how the media runs with 1-2 reports But, there are other times we deny reports and yet they come from all over which to me means something was done by us whether it is just initial contact or possible secret talks

How would you know if you have only seen in him action a "few times"?

Just reading off of the reports, it seems Ribery's ownership is hell bent on keeping him even with outragous transfer fees

Ugh If we make a big signing, great. As long as we sign a few youngsters and maybe 1-2 contributors, I will be happy with the off-season It seems the last 3-4 years that we hear every big name attached to us followed with this anger from the fans when not all of them are signed. Some times, the only reason we are linked to them is the media and thus....our management isn't even at fault
