Reddish-Blue

It was obvious City weren't going to run away with it.. New manager, new players that need time to settle in (only Negredo has done relatively well out of their new signings). I reckon if City end up winning the title, it'll be because Chelsea and United screw up..rather than them being the dominant side in England.

Expecting a draw. Hoping Everton don't win it with a late goal.

That would of made sense 2-3 years ago... But now, Barkley is in Everton's first team, full of confidence, seems to have improved alot from that loan at Leeds, has the potential to become an England regular As for McEachran, he's nowhere near Chelsea's first team, looks like a passive, laid-back player...looked average for Middlesboro last season.

so what if we gave the no.10 shirt to Di Santo? He was an exciting but very raw striker.

Can't wait to see him earn his 100th cap for England. What a player, what a midfielder, Frank Lampard the legend. :blue scalf:

Yeh but the deal makes no sense... they just let go of a quality midfielder at the peak of his ability and now they're going to bring back a past-it Kaká...

I just think Fellaini and Ramires would be a bad combination... We missed out on Capoue for such a low price...I wouldn't mind Gonalons if we're looking at adding a DM.

Lampard really shouldn't be starting this game... I really want to see a Ramires - Mikel partnership under Mourinho.

For me, if Jupp was still in charge at Bayern, I'd put them ahead of Madrid...because he commanded massive respect from the players. Pep has to earn respect from the Bayern squad this season...which may cause them to be vulnerable in certain games and it will be interesting to see his plan B if the tika taka fails.. As for Chelsea, my concern is the CM/DM position...Ramires is a brilliant player who will only get better under Mourinho..but who's going to be his partner against the big clubs of Europe? Do we go with Ramires -- Lampard or Ramires --- Mikel?

HAHAHAHA Arsenal VS Dortmund vs Napoli Who's gonna miss out?

Awesome draw...as long as we avoid Napoli from Pot 4.

Great to see Eto'o join the club...much better option than Torres up front.

Ba going back to Newcastle makes no sense... He should move abroad (if Roma are still interested)..

Lamela, some Romanian defender and Eriksen are all having their medicals at Spurs today. Some very nice signings by Spurs this transfer window...imagine if they fail to finish in the top 4, that would be hilarious.

I don't know what games you've been watching but Paulinho has been one of Spurs' better players so far this season. Both Capoué and Paulinho have added a bit of steel and physicality to their midfield...quite an upgrade from an unfit Huddlestone and an ageing Parker.

Lamela for 30 million isn't a bargain...it's value for money IF AvB utilises his skill-set properly. Spurs have done well in the transfer window, they've upgraded their midfield and found a quality striker to play upfront. Whilst Arsenal have done nothing except re-sign Flamini....should be interesting to see who gets 4th place.

We also have some fans who just can't accept that Chelsea can still be a great club without Mata. If Mourinho wants to build his team around Oscar, De Bruyne, Hazard & Willian...then Mata's role will be reduced. I'm not saying that Mata will be sold..but people are acting like he's a god.

If Moses can't get a game...how in the f*ck will Atsu get game time? I thought if anyone was gonna sign him, it would be Liverpool or Spurs.

To be fair..the only other 'star' player in terms of wages on United's team is Van Persie. If some other player tried to blackmail the club, they'd be sold. I don't know whether Rooney is bigger than their club...but he never seemed likely to be sold. Just imagine the fans reaction if Rooney was sold..particularly when you consider that Moyes has failed to land a single player in this transfer window....

I agree about your opinion on the top 4. It'll be very interesting to see whether Spurs or Arsenal get 4th position. As for Liverpool, would love to see them finish mid-table!

Well said. I'm not going to jump into conclusions..because we have only played 3 games so far...I just hope Lukaku isn't treated like Sturridge. The major problem with not playing talented youngsters regularly is that, once they get the chance to impress...they try too hard to show off all their skills and end up having a bad game.

I think Sir Bobby Charlton convinced Rooney to stay at United. He's only 14 goals away from becoming United's third highest goalscorer of all time... You wouldn't throw away the chance of being mentioned alongside legendary players unless a) you really don't give a shit about the club or you really hate the guts of your manager and feel a change of scenery is needed.

There has to be at least one club that could use someone like Torres... When Torres is on the pitch, we play like 10 men. If you were a tired defender looking at the sideline and you saw Torres coming on, you'd breathe a sigh of relief.

I just hope we don't screw up his development. Time to throw him into the deep end...if he doesn't play, he can't improve.

Yeh, that's what I remember as well...he preferred Ajax due to consistent first team football. Then Vitesse seemed reluctant to sell him to Ajax...and eventually, he ended up at Chelsea. Really hope that he doesn't miss out on the World Cup squad. Quality midfielder in the making...
