News about Bale came best time possible. His girlfriend must be a secret Chelsea fan .

There no difference to us really when we have Oscar, Mata and Hazard. We both have 2 holding mids, then there is 1 being Dembele and Lampard/Ramires who will push further up the pitch. Their wingers are just more faster and direct than ours.

He may be getting ridiculous amount of wages but to say he has "unimpressed?" In a slow start for City this season, he has looked miles apart from everyone in their team and IMO has had a brilliant start. he has been a brilliant signing for City for the seasons they have had him and has been well worth the money. I think you must be getting confused with another player because Yaya is a fantastic all round player. I would love to have him here, even I doubt it will ever happen but he always performs on a consistent basis for City. I don't think there is a current better all round DM/CM than Yaya in world football as it stands

He seems like a 2 year old allowed to surf the forum by his parents judging by his type of posts

Not ready for that kind of move so far. He would not even get into the team tbh. If he goes out on loan would be beneficial that he joins a Championship club. Too early to even think about sending him on loan to a team of Bremen's quality

No it did not. The replays showed he kept it well in. How they ruled that out I don't know. Should of gone to Specsavers

Should of had another when he round the keeper and shot, just went wide. He has been very impressive though, along with Neymar

Doesnt mean Mikel should be thrown out to test him. Maybe in cup games but PL no because Mikel is a starter there and I think he does his role brilliantly. Hopefully Romeu can step up in his absence though

Apparently a clause in his contract allows him to leave for Barcelona next summer so he is being kept under wraps maybe so they are not convinced into taking him back. If true, quite a smart move then considering how impressive he was for us. Then after that clause is finished we can totally focus on developing him without the pressure of Barca trying to get him back

That sounds worrying? Are you sure it is not an injury reason or is it just to give him a bit of a rest?

You sound like another supporter like that. I think many other fans of other teams realize how good of a player Mata is. That is poor statement to make if you only think it is Chelsea fans. Every club supporter knows Mata is talented and him missing out on the Spain squad is nothing to be ashamed of because his form recently has been nothing short of brilliant

When we beat Valencia 3-0 last season Mata was jointly with Drogba our best player on the night. Made 2 assists, with the last 1 a brilliant through ball for the Drog. He was man of the match for sure IMO with Drogba, absolutely bossed that game

Can't see Falcao going to Real anyway when they have 2 quality strikers in Benzema and Higuain. They are both very young as well and Real Madrid usually play with a lone striker so can't see him going there at all tbh

I want to be up for nomination this October, I am a worthy mention

Surprised tbh, they must be down to the bare bones because most of the times he was a sub during his month loan at Pompey

Lmao that would be the worst place to go and I don't get your last sentence at all

His son's head is bigger

You are some clown

Seb I am sure Kojo meant that as an insult, yet you liked his post

Not like they need AC for San Marino anyway. They can put out a reserve team and still score over 10 goals, literally. San Marino are that bad, it is more worth Hodgson trying out players who don't get chances there, whether that be Baines or Bertrand. At least we got a fully fit AC (if suspended) to deal with Lennon then:)

Well he is banging in the goals for them so far this season and keeping Adebayor out. I have always thought he is a good striker and AVB clearly does and in return Defoe is scoring and creating some as well

Hmm I understand you. I definitely think we have a chance of beating Tottenham but I disagree that they are only a one dimensional team of speedy players. We can't underestimate them like that but now with the players at our disposal we look much more threatening for any team home or away as shown with Arsenal and the amount of goals we have scored so far this season.

Tbh despite the hatred to Spurs there is a lot more than just their sprinter athletes. They have 2 fullbacks who provide an attacking threat, even with Vertonghen there yes. Also despite Dembele struggling with fatigue later on he controlled the game and has settled in brilliantly. They also have Defoe who on his day can strike fear into anyone's defence and also can play with Adebayor or put him on later on to change the game. Dempsey who will play in the attacking mid role has quite a good goalscoring record against us as well. I reckon they are improving, by no means average and I find this game a bit more daunting than the Arsenal one and tbh I think they deserved their victory against MU. We havent beaten them at the Lane for a few seasons now and barring any last minute goals from them or so, I would quite happily take a point down there.

In 2010 Drogba won player of the year voted by fans I recall, while Malouda won 'player's player of the year' award.

IIRC Malouda won player of the season award 2-3 seasons back? He was very influential what ever season that was
