Yeah I agree, I don't know if Kakuta will want to come back here. He's never going to play behind the strikers at this club because we probably will never play with a number 10. There will be clubs wanting to buy him in the summer and I think he will probably leave in the end. I think its a joke that players like John O'shea and Jay Spearing can break through at Liverpool and Man utd but players like Borini, Stoch and Kakuta get shit on by managers who are not allowed to take a chance. We will never see a youngster break through unless we give a long term contract and commitment to a manager.

If he wants to go to City then they can have him and I don't want him. I don't want a player that is stupid enough to sign for a club were he will play Carling cup games. He will not get into their team FACT, he's a good player but he ain't world class already and City have too many players who want to play that role.

@FrancoZola you don't have to be in the dressing room to know what he was like. I know for a fact that he was a disruptive influence because what you must understand is Frank is an educated person. Those comments he made to the media were calculated, he's not stupid he fully understood that the last thing we needed as a club was for a major player like himself to bring out the dirty laundry. I have had conversations with Frank in the past while he has been signing my merchandise and he is extremely calculated and he thinks before he answers your question. He knows that the media will fight to the end to produce any sort of bullshit story to derail us and the last thing he needed to do was give them material to do it with.

I don't think I have ever seen anything as shocking as that in football. Roman will have to write that off too, hopefully it will make Roman stay out of our transfers in future.

Yeah I'm sick and tired of him too. He's finished, he was just one of those players like Kaka who had 3 years of absolute brilliance and then capitulated. I think he's gone 24 hours of football without a goal, that is a whole day and night of football without scoring. The last player I seen have that much of a shocker in front of goal was when Crouch joined Liverpool back in 05, we absolutely ripped Crouch to death on the old forum and now its happened to us.

I certainly would not be ok with Glenn Hoddle, he's been out the game for far too long.

I really really feel sorry for him now. Watching Torres trying to do the things he used to do and watching him fail consistently is just horrible, that chance he had today would of been a goal at Liverpool. He rejected the penalty because if he had missed he would of sunk into a new low and that would of destroyed him.

Torres should of been man enough to have taken that penalty, his confidence is sooo low that he rejected it. Raul, Brani and Mata tried to convince him to take it, I think it would of been wonderful for his confidence. The game was played at a good tempo, Ivo was the man of the match and Ramires was supreme going forward. Mata's game intelligence was brilliant and I thought the defenders had a solid game too.

You know what Sam, that really shocked me. Lampard has always been the superb pro, he has always conducted himself in a brilliant way (except for a few times in his private life allegedly). I think the reason why Frank reacted that way was because he felt that AVB was going to chop him out the team next season, frank is taking a chance on a new manager coming in and looking at his goal record and thinking he still has ''a lot to offer''. That is how a few members of our squad have stayed longer then they should, its because new managers keep thinking they still have it in them. Fergie has been at United that long that he just feels it when an Andy Cole or Beckham is coming to the end.

Yes but its just silly, Roman also ''Officiated Drogba's wedding'' I mean for fucks sake. The new manager has to contend with a group of players who are Roman's pals and if he doesn't do what THEY like then there will be conversations between the players and owner which is unhealthy. I prefer it the Glazer/Mansour way of completely detaching themselves from the club and letting the football people run it. No player should have the owners telephone number or email address and they should only report to the manager, we pay the manager to manage the team. I remember when Real Madrid had the Spanish lobby group in their dressing room it was Raul who was the leader in our case it's probably John Terry, Raul and Casillas basically managed the club for years.

Yes I agree and he looks like he has lost weight and he is a bit more agile. He held the ball up well for Belgium and he was making runs, I would rather see him start tonight !

Apparently Romelu Lukaku was not involved in yesterday's reserve game and RDM has been his mentor since joining the club. I can see Romelu starting this game or he could get the last 30 mins if ladyboy plays.

I really can't be bothered going through the archives but I definitely seen various photo's of the players taking a dip in his Yacht.

I strongly believe that we have a very very powerful lobbyist group at Chelsea. They're the older players who pick and choose which manager is to their taste or not. Terry, Lampard, A.Cole and Cech is what I suspect, Drogba and Essien and a few others are neutral in my opinion. This lobby group have so much power and I suspect they are very close to Roman, if you look at Man utd their owners are hardly ever there and you can't tell me any of the players at City have Sheikh Mansour's telephone number...... they are completely detached from the club and I like it like that. You can see various photo's of the players on Roman's yacht and I don't like that. If you look at most companies and business's you will see the owner does not strike a close relationship with his employee's, its because there are sooooo many problems that can arise from that. First they will have a drink with you and slowly but surely they will get so close to you personally that any new Manager or supervisor that is employed is weaker then the company employee who is supposed to listen to the manager.

We've got enough players who play his role anyway. Essien will settle there and we have Romeu too, why do we fucking love holding players at this club. We are talking about this holding player when we have not had a creative midfielder for donkey's. CLOSE THE THREAD PLEASE !!!!!

If we get SVEN I'll leave a skid mark on my under wear. I'm being serious here, I'll panic because SVEN is one of the few coaches in the world who doesn't have a football philosophy and that could be detrimental to us.

I thought he'd be gutted .

We really need another flair player in this squad.

He's a London man born and bred, good to have someone like that around the club.

What are we going to do after 2 years when he fucks off ???? We don't need to rush it right now, hopefully RDM can steady the ship like Hiddink did but I'm not really confident of that. We need continuity now, we need someone with experience who will be man enough to break the spine of this team and replace it with young hungry players.

I can't believe Mourinho has 77 votes, I think people are voting with their hearts not their heads. Mourinho loves Mourino and Mourinho only, he doesn't give a shit about any specific football club he just wants to win trophies to boost his EGO. We need a manager who will stay at this club and build a culture like Alex Ferguson has at united. Alex Ferguson has been at united that long he just knows when players like Andy Cole, David Beckham, Dwight Yorke are finished. He signed Ashley Young in the summer and now he has 3 of the best crossers of the ball in the league, which perfectly fits the united way of playing the game, get the ball out wide and whip it in. Arsene Wenger has a culture at Arsenal and Pep has a culture at Barca, Chelsea and Real madrid have no culture whatsoever and you know why ???? BECAUSE WE CAN'T KEEP A MANAGER FOR LONGER THEN A FEW MONTHS.

I don't really want Mourinho back because I don't believe in people going BACK. Mourinho is not a long term manager he arrives makes love with the club, he wins things and ties the whole club to him and even the fans want to run through walls for him then he fucks off.

Frank Lampard has really shocked me with his attitude recently, its just so not Lamps to act like twat. These footballers are for the most part all the same though, they don't give a shit about fans its all about lifestyle.

I just hope the players will respect and fight for RDM. My worry is RDM is too friendly with a lot of them and they might see him as '' one of the lads'' which would be terrible in all honesty. RDM needs to use psychology too turn these players into fighters because that is what we need. You know what ? Mata has actually been poor for a while now ( barring Napoli) and he's only getting away with it because his poor performance is sooo much better then the other players. Sturridge has been poor for a while too and he needs to step his game up but we were never going to rely on those 2 young players for the whole season its just not sustainable. Torres needs to bloody get some fire in his belly and so does Ashley Cole, Ramires and maybe Essien but Ramires mainly is the only player to really take the fight to the opposition and that is why I have so much respect for Rami because he tries hard !

EYE OPENER !
