And there goes Romeu's brightest shot at a regular defensive midfield berth.

The song is a let-down.Thats the weakest verse i've heard from Terry.

Lots of positives to take from this defeat.We can now play neat passes and move with fluidity,creating chances after chances AWAY FROM HOME.Mata is a creative beast when deployed in the middle and then having Nic on the left(Torres' two goals have been helped by anelka coming in from the left).An inform Torres is a goal machine.Hence 4-2-3-1 is the way to go.

@nateevs,Spot on.I have never been a fan of Mikel.Dude is a slug and in a team where quick movement with or without the ball is paramout,ningas like him should be flushed out.I have a feeling Romeu will be fully utilized when Mikel leaves for AFCON and the DM would no longer be his.Same with Lamps,Josh will soon take over(if he is given enough games)Hopefully,we wil have MEIRELES-ROMEU-JOSH

Ryan Bertrand also not included

Since we couldn't get Modo,i urge AVB to play Josh Mceachran.United have shown us what youngsters can do when given the chance.Josh is a classic creative outlet and his composure is excellent.I can no longer trust Lamps-Mikel-Ramires.

Krasic?Lets move in quickly before its too late.On the modric thing,i really dont support this 40m price.A fit kaka at 17m should do a good job.

With few days left for the close of the transfer window,Modric is drifting away from our graps.I understand Joao Moutinho is our second option.If we can get both,then fine;we need creative 'ninjas' in the middle.

CHELSEA-Valencia-Bayer leverkusen-Genk.Not the easiest draw but we should go through.Michael Ballacks return to stamford bridge should be a memorable one.

nateevs:

Malouda to Juve?

I'm rather shocked by the transfer fee being qouted.We understand he has regressed but 5M is a fracas.

With the bid for Alvaro Perriera set to go through,what is the fate of PVA and Ryan Bertrand given that both lads recently signed long-tem deals or do we want to have an overload of left-backs.The remaining days left in the transfer window is really going to be interesting especially regarding players moving out.

Nice.Now we have a true wide man whose got plenty of pace,creativity,dribbling ability and an eye for a goal.

I still reckon Mata as a true wide man,reason being he can beat his man/men and make a cross.His assist ratio butresses that point.De bruyne would also be handful in that regard.For tommorow's game,i would like Josh to start.Goodluck to the lads

I just pray this Mata talk sees the light of the day.

@op :Correct your spelling of udinese.Thanks

Nateevs,IMO benayoun has been our best player in pre-season.If not for injuries,we got 2 luka modrics in him.Fine performance at ibrox though.

Is this 20M Pato +Anelka/kalou true?

Blaise is the sickest of all femcees.Modenine admitted he had to double check his verse so as not get murdered by blaise on 'down' off his last album.I dont know whats keeping her from dropping an album.Thank goodness,nobody has said kel

^Get down fully deserves to be there.Since when did we hear pidgin rap filled wiv wordplays and metaphors? How oleku made it in that category mystifies me.

Romeu is a good buy.A product La masia.I'm always a fan of defensive midfielders who combine good tackling with excellent technique,neat passing and vision.

Van Aaholt and Bertrand were handed long-term contracts and if we add Cole and Zhirkov,that means we've got an overload of left-backs.Well,AVB insists he wont alter the squad until after the asian tour.

^^ dude is immensely gifted,a better option than essien and ramires because of his ball-playing attributes which would suit AVB's methods and he's got a year left on his contract.

nateevs:

Chelsea have agreed a deal for the transfer of highly rated Belgian goal keeper, Thibault Courtois.

The new petr Cech

Nice passing interchanges

I'm less concerned with the little transfer activity.As AVB has said,he prefers to work with the squad he has for now rather than a rush into the transfer market. Like nateevs pointed out,the playing methods is under revamp.I'm highly elated kakuta will be in the team next season.Meanwhile,we are at fratton park 3 pm today,who's watching?

This is what too much igbo cause.Dauid Luiz disappointing?

We would be making a huge mistake signing neymar.Not because he is not good but the boy will come with a huge amount of expectation which he may not cope with as well as the astronomical fee that would be paid.Its only a matter of time before our transfer activity picks pace

Everybody in the bar- yell-sir(bayelsa) when i come thru like Yenagoa, . .CLASSIC

Out: In:
essien- Pastore
drogba- Hulk
bosingwa- Van der Weil
malouda- Mata
anelka                    Lukaku

Could have done better

The track is off the chain
