I am just keeping my expectations low, as always, so I don't end up disappointed.

Where is Lampard. Lampard is a starting XI.

Dude Lampard, Drogba, Malouda and Anelka as super sub?

What a bench!!!

[chrismada9 1,948]

I think this is an excellent signing, if Balague's tweet is indeed true!! I honestly thought he was going to join Liverpool at first, but I'm delighted that he's chosen us!! Hopefully, that should be our winger sorted!!

All we need is Modric now!

The AS link (http://www.as.com/futbol/articulo/mata-le-pide-valencia-le/20110820dasdaiftb_24/Tes) suggests Mata is pleading with the coach to let him go, as the Chelsea offer is irresistible. One issue is that Real are demanding part of the transfer fee, at least I think that's what it says, Google Translate isn't as helpful as a native Spanish speaker.

Guillem Balague

Mata: form of payment and other little details delaying confirmation. Clubs talking right now. You'll have to be patient :-)

So now there are reports saying that the man city nasri deal has broken down, god I hope they don't go after mata. I think i' m too paranoid.

I think that article is saying Valencia are reluctant to accept a cash plus player deal and only want 'real' money.

That's how I understood it, could be wrong though.

I am too pessimistic, I just assume something is going to go wrong. Really hope it doesn't. Fucking transfer windows man.

[Laylabelle 9,300]

The transfer windows always horrible...and the way in our case we get so close and something fucks up...every bit of news you think eeeek

Hope it, but if he really wants to come, he will, because both president and vice - president of Valencia are in the talks, and they will accept the 30 mil.

Ever since the robinho fiasco I've been ridiculously pessimistic about these sorts of things and try not to get my hopes up but i cant help it, this one is getting me excited!
