Yes would present a few formation headaches -but Drogba and Torres up front would terrify defences -..if they could play together... Brilliant. We do need back up keeper -would like to see David James -Hilario is suspect and Ross Turnbull is hardly cover for the increasingly injury prone Cech

''Numerous sources, including radio station Talksport, and Guillem Balague via his Twitter account, have been reporting that Fernando Torres’ move to Chelsea is an almost done deal, stating that he should be a Chelsea player by the end of the day. Adding fuel to the fire a number of bookmakers, including Paddy Power have suspended all betting on Torres joining Chelsea after seeing a huge flurry of betting action yesterday.'' Reuters Brilliant to rub the scallies noses in it if he comes -does eem a bit injury prone -but we dont want him to go to Citeh ......

Good shout the yids could sneak a place. Harry seems to know what hes doing (apart from saying England will win the World cup

With Citeh having @40 first team players, theres a distinct possibilty they will break in; Chelsea ManUtd Man City Arsenal

Good shop -you could spend your pocket money there. .... (Or even in WH Smiths on Keystage English Level 1)

Just what I was going to say -they got stuff like that in Poundland, Poundstretchers or fatstretechers whatever its called

....both whining, Gerrard doing his rubbing the nose thing and Joe pinching his ear as he always does. Just listening to Phil 'the nose' Thompson on SSN -hes talking bollox that Cole wanted to further his career etc. Yeah right, nothing to do with money then.....

Lol never mind could have been worse I spose and he'd gone to spuds. Also getting through the medicals not done and dusted. Sorry Joe, hope your career continues on a downward slide....

Lol Well he has the right intellect for scouse land, and although not the accent, his voice is pitched just right for that scouse whine. How the dipper fans must be rubbing their hands at the thought of robbing all his medals when hes playing an away game....

Disagree. Its not on. Trying to bring in cost effectiveness when the club are happy to throw away tens of millions in settlements to coaches because they dont like the way they play, or hundreds of thousands in wages each week. Massive salaries to 'executives' who in reality are ones mans puppets. Football is fucked, sold to Murdoch -and what happens when this current generation of middle aged season ticket holders are gone ? -I dont see any young working class legions of replacements, they even took away the student season ticket discount. True its not extortionate, but its the principle, and yet again they forget that without the fans they'd be nothing....

It might only be a fiver to you BB what with your fancy restaurant n all -but thats bread n dripping for a month round our way....

Some good loan material there. i see spells at Doncater and Wolves looming for most......

Well its the first time I've ever known them to charge -dont know if this is any way linked to We Hate Scouses thread -but seems a bit penny pinching to me. Even Kenyon had the sense to let us in for free.... http://transparentsport.com/cfcuk/story.php?id=101836

Quite tragic this.... http://www.onlybees.com/b/2010/07/gazza-on-real-radio-raoul-moat/ Not just the situation but Gazzas state, and the radio for broadcasting it.....

Think he'd have to go to scouseland to buy -a formal approach. However the Daily Mail reckon theres been a £40m opening bid.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1292380/40million-Fernando-Torres-bid-Chelsea-throw-gauntlet-Liverpool-want-more.html

Positives and negatives with this. Positives are that will probably be a squad player, can come on inject pace, as a supersub. hes also not going to have a timmy tantrum if hes not a regular starter...and 2-3 years out of him, he might just be worth it However, £5.5 m seems a lot for a 30 yearold and will be worth 10p at the end of his contract, and Fenerbache were the only other team interested. Would have personally hung on to Stoch, or gone for Ashley Young -and it doesnt send a very good message to potential youngsters, Benayoun couldnt get into a less than average Bindippers side last season -so what does that say ? i think it also show the club are going all out for thw CL next season....

Thought most of the Aussies were going back ? Economic gloom and all that. You may or may not know Steve, most of the Aussies are based in Earls Court -or 'kangaroo valley' as its known. Tube ride away from the Bridge -properties round there are probably the most expensive in the UK, so prob best to look round Earls Court area. Depends what sort of work you were after -there always seems to be barwork going. Prob best to hook up with an ozzie forum on line where theyll have all the advice

Come on Nadal -in fact anyone but Murray please. Why do BBC licence payers have to tolerate Super Slo Mo replays in HD of his ultra pushy tortoise neck mother doing that hideous screech thing (that she got from Braveheart or something) ? Its enough to make people projectile vomit their tea all over the place.

Good shout for Ivanovich, he has been imperious, and can seem to play anywhere along the back four. I suppose just because Alex wasnt picked for Brazil doesnt mean anything, they have dozens of top Brazilians to choose from. Teryy gives 100% nearly every game -you cant buy that loyalty, but there will come a time when his pace is a real issue..

Lampards goal, Tevez offside -theres strong case for it. But where would it stop ? Every decision being contested in a game would add about half an hour to a match and disrupt the flow -actually Lineker had agood idea on MOTD that teams would only get 3 calls for a replay in a match, like in tennis. So you for or against ? The use of television has been a source of controversy in the sport, but I reckon it offers a fool-proof method for determining whether a team is good at football or whether it is simply a collection of absurdly over-compensated, second-rate commercial brands with ghastly, vulgar wives, locked in a sado-masochistic relationship with a cretinous media that merely reflects a society that has taken its natural intelligence, its sense of perspective and its values and violently drowned them all in a bucket of piss.

Cant see it happening -though it wouldnt be the end of the world -pretty pony WC (ok that could be because of the unrest in the camp), Carvalho was suddenly fit for Portugal and is reputedly looking to get out, and Alex wasnt picked for Brazil squad. Shant be long before we need a top, pacy central defender....

Hi Phil, welcome to TC

Judging by the deep converstion him and Fatfrank had at the end of England Germany + the rumours , I reckon he'll be strutting his stuff at SW 6 next season............

Agree. His stats are very good as well. Chase the ref time
