Thoroughly proud of the lads tonight, we've had a tough season with lots of games, managerial changes, hindered by injuries yet we've still finished with a piece of European silverware, once again. Not too bad for a transition year. Everything in place for Mourinho to walk in now, couple of transfers needed (particularly a striker to add some pressure on Fernando, who had a brilliant game tonight) and we'll be right up there for the most prized trophies.
I'm on the fence in regards to whether or not I'd like to see Fernando stay with us next season. Performance-wise we certainly haven't seen the best of his ability and I doubt we'll see him recapture the levels he amounted to at Liverpool, although he's undoubtedly been involved in the club's success - be that scoring the (potential) winner against Barcelona to send us through to the Champions League final, securing a corner which Drogba scored off to enforce ET against Bayern Munich or putting us ahead against Benfica tonight in the Europa final to land Chelsea their second European trophy in less than a year is simply remarkable. I'm almost positive Roman would pay fifty million for the duo, in hindsight, in my opinion, a not too bad signing.
