Ahh, the annual Kenyon Shirt Selling Tour Chengdu Blades owned by Sheffield United if I remember rightly

English papers are picking it up now; According to The Sun amongst other tabloids, Chelsea are now favourites to land the Barca star as a ₤22million replacement for Didier Drogba, who is on the verge of agreeing terms with AC Milan.

Dont think it will be an Italian. All the silence , the sanctioning of Bosingwa, I think it's safe to say the new manager of Chelsea after the Euros will be....... Scolari

The more I look at this, the more it becomes apparent that the next manager of Chelsea will be Scolari. The waiting, the silence, the sanctioning of Bosingwa -it all points to the moustachioed one

See what I can find; I know it's a profitable business to be in; Ken Bates (Chelsea) Bought for £1 Sold for £17m Martin Edwards (Man Utd) Bought for £100,000 Sold for £90m Milan Mandaric (Pompey) Bought for £5m Sold for £32m Doug Ellis (Aston Villa) Bought for £500,000 Sold for £23m Terry Brown (West Ham) Bought for £2m Sold for £33.4m David Moores (Liverpool) Bought for £8m Sold for £89.6m

Yup the Yids seem to have someone who knows what hes doing in Ramos....

Thats an expensive bit of bugle.... Hes doing alright with Fiorentina now

Was gutted when he went - reckon he would have worked well with Shevchenko. How old is he now 30 ? West Ham are allegedly sniffing round him

Well theres near enough 1 Euro to the pound now, so it'll beat all transfer records. The so called galactico era is long gone but the galactico philosophy is the cornerstone of what makes Real Madrid so special. It is a club that players yearn to feature for, despite the tactics and despite the controversy at management level. Real Madrid has history, it still seen as a special club and players will always want a shot at playing for it. Its the agents that have the power these days, and his is the same cunt who tried to auction him off to the Catalans in 2006 ...

I've seen 50 million bounded about,but 80 million ? Blimey. To be honest I dont think that would put them off -the merchandise, shirts, and having 'the best player in the world' they'd see it as being money well spent

The Glazers would greedily eye the cash as a bit of a plug for their haemorraging debt. The amount of space the Stepover Queen created last year for other players by beating defenders let alone the goals. Teams also had to double up on him as well. With him gone -the future looks bright for us next season.

The Euros are a shop window as well -bound to be some exceptional new players coming into view...

I have a gut feeling Riijkaard will be unveiled once the Euros have started.

Off to Madrid by all accounts -and who can blame the cheeky winker ? Get away from intimidating Red face, better climate and more money. One thing is for sure, the Salford franchise will literally be half the team they were last season.

There are constant rumours..and I can see the merits 4-3-3 with a couple of decent wingers. I wouldnt say strictly neccesary though. Tactically Kalou/Malouda on the left and SWP/Cole on the right should be enough to take a lead. then resort to 4 2 1 2 1 which we invariably did after 35 minutes during the Robben Championship winning seasons. To me its not so much a a case of personnel changing on the pitch -just look how we were a hairs breadth from trophies with a buffoon on the sidelines -we just need a decent tacticain who can react during games

Could do with a decent winger or two -does it matter he doesnt know who his boss is ?

The Spanish dont hide their racism- Lewis hamilton etc and one of the reasons why Eto wants out. I reckon he'd get 25 -30 a season

Fabio Capello has been punished by FIFA officials after they decided he used too many substitutes in last weekend's game against Trinidad & Tobago. The game, which England won 3-0, has now been declared a 0-0 draw. Capello used 14 substitutes in the game, including three fans from Carlisle who were on holiday in Port of Spain. One of them, Roger Smith, 59, scored England's third with a toeprodder from fully 35 yards. Smith, a builder, said: "I was just sitting there in the stands, and this guy in an England tracksuit came up to me and said 'Would you like to have a go, mate?', so I jumped on and had a go. It was fun!" Now though, FIFA have decreed that no more than 13 substitutes can be used, none of whom can be builders, and have said that the result must be changed to 0-0, and the game replayed at the Trinidad & Tobago FA's convenience. Capello, who once used 23 subs in a game in Italy, was unavailable for comment because his English isn't quite good enough yet. The Spoof

Too right. If the club are waiting for Hiddink -which I doubt -they should just say so. Shambles. Is this the same Ken 'Altzeimers' Bates that sacked Gullitt and then Vialli ?

As long as Ronaldo isn't holding up the trophy at the end , I dont care who wins. Sky are probably pissing themselves at no England being there, seeing as they didnt bid for viewing rights. The benefits of England not being there ? Being able to get served in pubs without the bar being clogged up by fat cunts in St George cross T shirts. Not seeing twats in Austria giving nazi salutes getting battered by Austrian police. No media coverage of brainless WAGs. No wanky song. Not going out on penalties in the Quarters. Russia to me are the dark horses -could easily do it, have qualityplayers and a top manager .........who we may get afterwards hence all the silence.

Definitely. Phenomenal scoring record, but he'd probably get a few suspensions. What did he say our stewards called him ? 'monkey of shit' or something

Meanwhile, heres some music

Just heard on the news that Spanish media are saying we'll be signing him. One of the biggest cunts in the game and one of the most talented players as well Thats if he doesnt go to prison -headbutted and fractired the face of a journalist, whilst on International duty at the weekend

Is there a link for this ? Sky are just announcing that the match is void.

The press would mock ceaslessly about 'how no one wanted the job'. Clarke with a Talk Chelsea advisors forum should do it...
