Robinho is £25m-£30m max. Madrid have been wanting to sell him since January. There is a belief in Madrid that he lacks consistency and motivation. He has also been sneaking out of the Madrid changing rooms through the window because he doesn't want to face the Press or Bernd Schuster on his way out. Cassano was the one who showed him how to sneak out of the window. Madrid interpret this as a sign of weakness and have been trying to get rid of him for some time. Read about it:

http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/47083


Also, during a recent Brazil game, Brazilian TV had the bright idea of putting a camera on Dunga for the whole 90 minutes. During the game, Dunga turned to his assistant and said "Robinho is lacking confidence out there". To which his assistant retorted "He always seems subdued in the big games."

Anyway what I am saying is that there are big questions about his temperament and professionalism. During the galacticos era, he was well known for his partying ways. Based on talent alone, he is a superstar, just not sure of his mentality. Madrid have been looking to sell him for some time. So how is he suddenly worth say £40m? £25-£30m is the max I would pay for him. Robben is a bigger player than Robinho. If not for injuries, Robinho should be 2/3 the price of Robben.

Best English players are Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney easily. . . Gerrard is a pile of crap . . . . 7 years of playing utter rubbish for England and he is still coming out with the same excuses of "I am not being played in my best position". . . . They played him behind the striker in 2006 WC and he criticised Eriksson. Now he is playing behind the striker at Liverpool. They played him on the right, left, DM and CM and he is still flopping. Excuses, excuses . . . . the fact is that no manager ever trusts him as a conventional midfielder cos his positioning is awful. His touch is too loose and he can't dribble. Be it against Croatia, Russia or whoever, he just does not have the technical skill, first touch, dribbling or intelligence to control the midfield. Yet the English press always praise him to the rafters. It has become a no-no in the media industry to criticise him but IMO, he is the most overhyped player in the EPL.

@ Poster:

Just let her talk about herself.

@ Ako, I will believe Bridgey is on £80,000 when I see it. Apparently, it is The Sun who are claiming thus . . . . How can they make such a claim when Bridgey signed the contract a month ago and they didn't even know about it? They are just hearing about it now. I checked The Times, Guardian, Telegraph and BBC and none of them claim to know how much the contract is worth. I wouldn't be surprised if Bridgey is on about £60,000. Remember that Ashley Cole is only on £70,000 so how can Chelsea give Bridgey a better contract? BTW, the deal was signed before Scolari came to the club.

[center]Carvalho Decides On Future[/center]
Key Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho, has declared his intentions to honour his contract with the West London club, and not follow former mentor Mourinho to Internazionale.

Despite only a 15-year age gap, Ricardo Carvalho and Jose Mourinho are said to enjoy a father-son relationship. Mourinho coached Ricardo at FC Porto, won a UEFA cup and a Champions League together,  and then Jose put in a sensational bid of over £18million to allow him to follow in his footsteps, to Chelsea.

It was always inevitable, that the 30-year old, who has often been compared to Fernando Couto, was going to be linked with his mentor when Mourinho took up the reins at an £8million per year job at Internazionale.

The Portuguese international even put his current club on red-alert last month when he suggested a move may be on the cards. He was reported to have wanted a meeting with chief executive, Peter Kenyon, so that a deal could be brokered to Inter.

However, Scolari's move to Chelsea proved to be a final twist in the story and the player is keen to extend a working relationship with 'Big Phil', as they know each other through five years through the Portuguese camp.

Carvalho is quoted on the official club website as saying: "Now I am back it is good to see all the people again, fighting for the club together like we have for the past few years."

McGeady plays for Ireland not Scotland. Trust me, if he played for Scotland, you would notice him far and above those ordinary Joe's who play for Scotland.

Thank God Bridge has signed new contract. I was reading some disturbing rumours about him going to Portsmouth. You cannot get a
better back-up left back than Bridge.

Listen oga, no one is against development. But there is no development after war. You are proposing military action and then development - reality check: there will be no money for development after military action because the economy will be brought to its knees by the military action. Thank God we have leaders who are wiser than to implement your proposal. By the time military action is finished, even people in Lagos will be suffering from famine.

My proposal was simple - engage the militants in a productive way, bringing peace to the area, then carry out the development. I pinpointed MEND as the only militant group capable of being engaged by the Government (infact they are the only group BEING engaged) unlike all the other random militant groups. So who is harebrained now?

Wow, duck the issue why don't you? I have just shown you how harebrained your proposal is and you have nothing to defend yourself but throw insults.

Your proposal would have worked 13 years ago - when Saro-Wiwa was agitating for 'development'. Unfortunately, we have past that stage now. The region is too militarised for that. OBJ has been trying your proposal for the last 8 years and the situation has only gotten worse.

Don't sleep on McGeady. Did you see what he did to Barca in Champions League. Anyway, all the latter names I mentioned were as 3rd/4th choice wingers. They are all better than Shaun and Malouda.

buchio7:
The problem in the niger delta is resolvable with 2 appraoches,

1) let there be massive development of the area by the govt using the already developed masterplan by the nddc (which is pretty good)

there is no need for a summit to discuss d problems cause it is d most discussed zone in nigeria history,

2) move the military in and weed out all criminal elements within the region, (as of today the military in the true sense of the word have nt been given a green light to move in )

3.) when the people see that govt is serious in developing there land there is no way they can support such criminals masquerading as freedom fighters ,

4.) bringing mend into the equation will definitely be counter productive if nt immediately then futuristically, all this yarn about parleying mend is

1.) How long is this development phase?

2.) Oh, so you haven't even started the development and you already want the military to move in? So if the military had been given the green light (despite no development seen), your theory would still hold? The fact is you would love the military to go in right now and exterminate all those Ijaw bastards who are slowing up your country's money - but I'm sorry, any military strategist would hence conclude that you are a fool - Unfortunately, we are holding your oil hostage. (By the way it is OUR oil, not yours under true fiscal federalism). Sorry mate, but if you want a war, your economy has to go on holiday for a few seasons.

3.) OK - so the people will invite you with open arms despite seeing no development abi? At the same time you cannot carry out any development whilst those darn militants are still on the ground. WOW! Very insightful comments by your esteemed self. You seem to be in a bit of a quandry there.

4.) The people ARE MEND


You have no clue.

Do you think he knows his birthday? A lot of Nigerian dont. Maybe his culture does not care too much for birthday celebrations.

Akolawole:
We will come back to this.

By the way, how did SAF handles Ronaldo's one?

What magic does Benitez use to increase ASTRONOMICALLY Steven's contract between 10pm till day break after Gerrad's Bye-Bye press conference?

How do Ijebu Wenger break his team's Wage structure to £120,000 to appease Henry and How did he do a similar thing to Wiliams even though he is not even earning as much in stamford Bridge?

Are you now comparing Ronaldo and Henry to Terry? Abeg you don come with your local mentality. If you have been reading the papers, you will know that Alex Ferguson is not amused with Ronaldo wanting new contract. You can also checklist Wenger on any of the follwing names: Hleb, Adebayor, Flamini, Anelka - and check out his attitude toward them asking for more money. A PROPER manager is supposed to protect the clubs wage spending, not inflate it. I have heard many managers complain in the Press that their players are asking for too mcuh. Steve Coppell did it with Nicky Shorey, other managers do it all the time. You check how Alex Ferdinand slated Ferdinand when Ferdinand was asking for £100, 000, then come back and tell me how Jose should have reacted when Terry was asking for 140,000. Who the phock is John Terry to ask for that kind of money? That is the kind of reaction i expect from a proper manager. Then what will you pay someone like Ronaldo - £300,000?

Terry earns more than Ronaldo - and Jose is happy with it and was pressuring Chelsea to give him the contract. Jose also held Chelsea to ransom over his contract. Jose threatened to break his own contract unless Chelsea increased his pay - only one year after signing his contract. What kind of message does that send to the players? Did you see SAF and Wenger acting that way? Now we have problem with Carvalho because of the nonsense contract they gave Terry.

Yeah nobody want Ramos sloppy seconds. it also shows she is a golddigger cos she loves to go out with footballers.

I would have liked Mancini but Inter got him. Also holding out faint hopes for Arshavin . . . and Quaresma. I don't believe Ribery is even a possibility so forget it. I would also like your boy from PSV, Jefferson Farfan as 3rd or 4th choice. Other options are Diego Capel from Seville, Luis Garcia from Real Zaragoza, Luis Suarez from Ajax, Aiden McGeady from Celtic.

I don't care who as long as we sell Malouda and Shaun.

Like I said before he is good but inconsistent.

£48m for Robinho. Yeah right. I nor fit laff.

@Ibime

While I think you made a good point. I would like to add; what assurance MEND would give us that the criminals are not their boys? Isn't Soboma and others part of MEND? Would using MEND as a vigilante not put power in the arms of a militia and give them legal authority to abuse the power when they finally get it?

I remember when everyone applauded bakassi boys for killing armed robbers until they became thugs for people. Wouldn't MEND become political thugs operating legally?

I would believe that a responsible govt would seek to negotiate with MEND as regards disarmament. Let MEND provide intelligence for the Police and Army to finish off the criminals running loose in the area. Thereafter, try to solve one or two problems in the area. Nigerians don't ask for much just no more corrupt governors and LGA chiarmen.

Yeah . . . . you are right . . . .normally, Nigerian Government would enter talks as regards disarmament. . . .but I don't think Naija-Delta people would accept non-Ijaws policing the place hence I suggested that MEND should be turned into a peace-keeping force. I also do not think that Nigerian soldiers or Police would be sufficiently incentivised to maintain law and order. I am sure you know that there are many Nigerian soldiers participating in oil bunkering as we speak. On top of that, Nigerian soldiers will not be used to the terrain and the locals will not co-operate with them if they are looking for vigilantes. But MEND have all these logistical facilities in place.

The fact is that Ijaws are not looking for a seperate state. Our borders are too porous and we would not be able to defend ourselves. We want to be part of Nigeria but Nigeria must give us our due. I think that MEND should be brought under the government wing and have an official position within government. Then, you will not see any break-off groups causing trouble like Soboma George did because it will be suicidal to do so. The people at the top of MEND are educated and highly organised and most importantly, they have the interest of the locals at heart so I do not think that it will become a powerful militia group abusing its power. It is already a powerful militia group and can abuse its power if it wants. it does not need the Nigerian Governments assistant to help it do that.

@ Poster:

I don't agree cos based on your proposal the only top teams in the competition next season will be Man Utd, Real Madrid, InterMilan, PSV, Lyon and Fehnerbahce. I would not even call three of those big teams. It will be very boring.

When the Champions League had one team per country, any team from any league could beat anyone else. We had Champions such as Steau Bucharest, Honved, Celtic, Marseille etc. That would not work now cos the Champions of Hungary cannot compete with the Champions of England. It will be rubbish.

Well RA has decided and his verdict is that Lampard is a greedy sonofabitch . . . who tell you say Lampard dey sell shirt like that sef? He is quite unpopular in England. I never had him down as a shirt-seller.

Plus Maka is not on the same money as the rest of them. I believe he has been earning £70,000. The fact is that Lampards game is based on his energy level, not some supernatural skill. As he gets older his game will decline dramatically. You cannot say the same for Maka.

Thank you Wormy. It is like my eye and your eye are the same because we agree on most things.

Essien is our most potent midfielder simply because when he runs forward, things happen. You can call it chaos, you can call it whatever you want but players in the EPL cannot live with his energy. Look at the game against Man utd at the Bridge. Essien was all over their midfield, they didn't get a chance to breathe. We won the ball back quickly and he drove the team forward by sheer energy. Contrast that with the CL final where their midfield had all the time in the World and dominated Ballack and Lamps in the first half especially. Essien was the difference. He even set up the goal the one time he drove into midfield. He showed in  that solitary run what Chelsea was missing in midfield. Hence he is our most potent midfilder. I did not say most skillful, nor the best, nor is he the classiest. But he is the most potent.

I'm sorry, but Essien at DM is like a fish out of water. Hargreaves is also not a DM although he is good at it. But I wouldn't waste his talents at DM. Possession starts with the DM. It is extremely important to have a DM who can pass, wriggle out of tight spaces and is technically gifted as well as defensively and positionally sound. Telling me Essien is positionally sound is like telling me Gerrard is positionally sound. I don't believe it. The guy is a free spirit and likes to run and wreak havoc. We have a slow defender in John Terry so it is important that the DM is close to the defence. Essien cannot stay close to the defence . . . or wriggle through two men like Maka does from a congested midfield. There are many who do this well, not only Maka.

Essien has been EXTREMELY poor every time I have seen him at DM. I am sure a lot of you would remember my rant at Essien from the Carling Cup final. Should I dig up the archives? That was one of the worst defensive midfield displays I had seen. We could not build up our attacks because Essien was too slow in selecting his pass due to his right-foot-only style of play.

I love Alex Song. He is the best guy to replace Maka but as far as i am concerned Maka at 35 is better than any other option we have.

Somze,

This excuse of yours that Terry and Lampard only want more wages because of Sheva and Ballack is rubbish. There is no excuse for greediness. Ballack and Sheva were paid based on their previous exploits, not on their work for Chelsea. If they flopped for Chelsea, that is the risk that Chelsea took. It had nothing to do with Lamps and Terry. When Recoba was earning stupendous amounts at InterMilan despite being a flop, I didn't hear any player say he must get paid such and such because he is playing better than Recoba. It was just accepted as an expensive mistake made by InterMilan. Even if Terry and Lamps wanted the same as them, why did they not then ask for £120,000? No, instead Terry gets £150,000 and Lamps is rejecting £140,000. Maybe he feels insulted by such a derisory offer, the greedy bastard.

Jose also set example for them by holding Chelsea to ransom over contract. A manager should NEVER act that way. He encouraged the greed culture at Chelsea. It was widely reported that Jose was supportive of Terry in trying to get all he could from Chelsea (before you accuse me of heaping lies on Jose's name):

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2007/jan/24/sport.comment


A proper manager should be in the press telling the media that his player is asking for too much. Like Fergie did with wes Brown or Rio Ferdinand or Cristiano. Like Wenger does with every one of his players. Instead Jose is there putting a gun to Chelseas neck, telling them they must give Terry his new contract or else . . . despite the fact that everybody knows that Terry is asking for a greedy sum.

You never hear Arsene Wenger and SAF fighting with Arsenal and Man Utd for contract. Arsenal even let Wengers contract expire before renewing it, such was the faith they had in him.

MEND attacked Bonga oil platform - or did they? They did not kill anyone, they released their American hostage unconditionally and they did not blow up the platform - or they would have cut 1/10th of Nigerias capacity right there and then. So any reasonable fellow (unlike yourself) should ask - was it a political statement or a rebel attack? A man has a gun to your head but he refuses to pull the trigger. The message is - we can hurt you if we want but we would rather negotiate. MEND are not barbarians and MEND does not act randomly unlike the other gun gangs roaming Niger-Delta. Unfortunately idiots like yourself cannot tell the difference between an emancipation group and a gun gang because Naija media has brainwashed you to believe that every militant attack is from MEND.

And yes, there are many parallels between Iraq and Naija. It is the same thing - conflict resolution. You resolve conflict by incentivising all interested parties. I believe that the Iraq situation is a lot better now that the local warlords have been co-opted into the government process. The British never had this problem because they did it from the start. The Yankees went in with the attitude of "lets send em all to hell". . . and it took about three years for them to realise that that strategy does not work. It is said that the greatest mistake made by the allies was the disbanding of the Iraqi army. Despite the fact that the army fought against the, the army would have maintained peace after the invasion was complete. Same scenario with MEND.

Nateevs, Nateevs . . . . Looking at your line up for the new season, you have just lost my respect. I hope Scolari does not make the same mistake as you . . . .are you wondering what it is?. . . look at your line up again. . . . Essien in DM? HELL TO THA MOTHAPHONKING NO!. . . . the worst game Essien ever played for Chelsea was as DM against Tottenham in Carling Cup. Firstly, Essien is our most potent midfielder. Playing him as DM is an inexcusable waste of his talents. Even Jose said that Essien has too much energy to play DM . . .

http://ghanasoccernet.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=795&Itemid=51

It will be a silly mistake to play Essien as holding midfielder. All his rubbish games for Chelsea came when he was employed in that position.

What a waste! On top of that, he likes to wonder and run everywhere. I definitely do not want my DM running upfront and everywhere at the slightest opportunity. . . . and dare I say this, he lacks the intelligence and positioning to play DM. He has no left foot and cannot pass as well as a DM should. Simply put, Essien is a box-to-box midfielder.

Trust all the idiots to jump in chatting nonsense. Go and ask the Americans how they have managed to stabilise the Iraqi problem - by engaging with the local forces - the same forces who were blowing them up. Go and ask the British how they managed to stabilise Basra whilst the Americans were struggling in Baghdad. They stabilised Basra by making the local militants and warlords a part of their system of government.

It is a well known tactic that the British have employed over the years. Who brought peace to Northern Ireland? Was it not the same Sinn Fein and Loyalist party who were the cause of the conflict in the first place? Do you think the British Government could have brought stability to Northern Ireland by use of arms? I don't know if Nigerian Government play war games - but any war game should produce the same result - a total destruction of our oil facilities. This is not a hare-brained theory. This is a tried and tested formula that has worked in many conflict regions. MEND will police the area if the Nigerian government come to the negotiating table. Simple as.

Like I said, you may be able to secure the oil installations but you cannot secure the pipelines. MEND has the peoples ears. They have the local knowledge, the logistics and they have goodwill. If they decree that nobody should touch any oil installation or pipeline, the people will obey.

I have sat back and watched as many on Nairaland have offered their opinion on the Niger-Delta issue, even when they have no experience of the place. I have heard that Yar'Adua is sending Warships to the Niger-Delta, and yes, that may solve the problem at the oilfields but it does not solve the problems at the pipelines. Unless Nigeria is willing to have a soldier stationed at every quarter-mile of pipeline, there is no way that Nigeria can solve this Niger-Delta problem by military means.

Being from PH, I have heard about all the kidnappings and it has also affected my friends and relatives. A lot of the boys I grew up with from Town and Borokiri now have their little gun gangs and are all into kidnapping and militancy. Basically, Port-Harcourt is now like Mexico City. Businesses are leaving, taking jobs away. I think the most important thing in the Niger-Delta now is security. Put simply, the place must be policed effectively. We have lost 1/5th of our oil production capacity. If MEND had blown up Bonga, we would have lost a further tenth of our capacity. This situation cannot continue.

As a Rivers man, I know for certain that there is only one force that can effectively police the area and that is MEND. In every political stand-off, it is important that the most organised and forthright local force is included in the solution. The only militant group with a political mission in the Niger-Delta is MEND. Why not bring MEND to the negotiating table, agree a deal for a fairer distribution of wealth and allow MEND police the place so that there are no further disruptions to our oilfields? Even if MEND wants 30% of the oil proceeds for the Niger-Delta, is it not worth it? We have already lost 20% of our capacity due to the unrest. We probably lose another 10% due to bunkering and piracy . . . and we may lose 50% if we continue to pursue this military course of action. I know MEND has been demonised in the media but from what I know, they are the only militant group condcuting themselves in the mould of a true liberation group. The rest of the groups are only after money. MEND has returned many Niger-Delta citizens to their families. Sometimes someone gets kidnapped by a gun gang and MEND issues an ultimatum to the kidnappers to return them or else . . . . and they always get returned. If MEND is given the resources to police the place, I believe we will see an end to these random kidnappings and security issues and oil production will get back to what it once was. . . I am interested to see what you guys have to say.

There are less than 2 million black people in the UK so I dont where Da Hitler gathers that there are 5 million Nigerians in the UK. In 2001, there were only 1.2 million Black people in UK as the link below shows:

Well, Man Utd have signed Berbatov from Spurs for 28m. Inter also signed Mancini from Roma for 10m last week. I would have loved both players at the Bridge.

[center]Cech claims Lamps is staying at Chelsea[/center]
Simon Johnson

Petr Cech today claimed Chelsea have won their bid to keep Frank Lampard at the club for next season. Although the midfielder wants to be reunited with former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan, his goalkeeping team-mate believes he will remain at Stamford Bridge.

Lampard is out of contract next summer and although Chelsea have offered a four-year deal worth £140,000 a week, the England international wants a further season, which Inter are prepared to give.

With talks having stalled, Chelsea are determined he sees out the last 12 months of his contract and turned down a £7.95million from the Italian champions last week.

Reports yesterday claimed Lampard had resigned himself to staying for the coming season and then leaving on a free transfer next term.

Inter haven't given up resolving the situation, but Cech is adamant Lampard will be part of new manager Luiz Felip Scolari's revolution.

Talking about Scolari's plans for next term, the Czech international told website Sport.cz said: "To be honest, I don't have much information about changes in the squad.

"Of course, I know about coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, Deco and I know that Chelsea have succeeded in keeping Frank Lampard, which is extremely important."

The news will disappoint Patrick Vieira, who wants Lampard to join him at the San Siro.

The former Arsenal midfielder said: "He is a fantastic player and you want to play with players of that class."

Meanwhile, Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has assured assistant manager Steve Clarke he has a long-term future at the club. Clarke has been part of the backroom staff at Chelsea for eight years, but has enjoyed a more significant role since Mourinho took over as manager in 2004.

The 44-year-old, who also played as a right-back at the club for 11 years, was unsure if he would have a position following the appointment of Scolari.

The Brazilian has brought the trusted aides he worked with while in charge of Portugal and Brazil in Carlos Pracidelli, Flavio Teixeira and Darlan Schneider to Stamford Bridge.

Clarke was considering his future earlier in the summer, but Scolari and the Chelsea hierarchy are aware of his strong relationship with the players as well as his all-round abilities.

The Scot has already agreed to stay on for this season, but Buck believes this is just the start of his working relationship with Scolari. He said: "Steve is Chelsea Football Club through and through. He has been at the club in a coaching role for a long time, even before he took the job with Mourinho.

"We have the greatest respect for Steve and he has met with Felipe a number of times. They are getting along fine and I'm optimistic that he will be an important part of Felipe's coaching staff this season and in the future." Buck is also confident that Chelsea will bounce back from failing to win a trophy for the first time in four years last season to add more silverware to the trophy cabinet.

Chelsea finished runners-up to Manchester United in the Premier and Champions League, but Buck added: "I'm always excited about a new season, but I'm really optimistic at how well we will do. Time will tell, but I think this will be a very successful season for the club.

"I can look back on the Champions League Final and say we almost did it. I'm very proud of what the boys did and it has given us more confidence about the future. Hopefully we will be back for the final in Rome this season."

@Ibime,

Mikel is a few years old than half maka's age. . . Maka was perhaps not even heard of at Mikel's age. . .
Drogba, Lampard all had late peaks in their footballing career. . .

Mikel will grow to to be that big star under Big Phil. . .

I can't believe you guys are here talking about Mikel and Makalele in the same sentence. IMO, he was the best performer for France at the Euro's and he has shown that his fitness and stamina are still there as far as I am concerned. The guy is the most intelligent DM I have ever seen and I always get high BP when Mikel is playing because a red or yellow card is always around the corner. . . as well as a free kick in a dangerous position.

Somze was talking about Maka not having the pace . . . . but even now he has more pace than Mikel. Soon as somebody goes past Mikel it is impossible for him to recover because he lacks fitness and pace to recover his position. People do not usually get behind Maka but when they do he has powers of recovery and is nimble and agile enough to nip the ball round the corner even when the opposition has his back to him.

Comeon . . . it is now a year and a half since Jose started easing Mikel into Maka position and yet Mikel cannot make the position his until today. . . . because Maka is too mcuh for him. . . . IMO, there is onl one guy I prefer to Maka in that position even at this old age and that is Mascherano.

Don't get me wrong, I love Mikel. I just don't think he is a DM.

BTW, Makalele won French league at 22 and reached Champions League semi-final also at 22 so he is not a small boy. Plus Mikel is about 27, not 21 as he claims.

nateevs:
Secondly, we are going to have an argument in the course of the season . . . I am gearing up for it. Let me hint you. . . Deco is the perfect example of a playmaker and one that will in your terms "not adapt to the premiership". . .

When he adapts in the his playmaking role. . . I go bombard you

Bring it on boy . . . .you are going to miss Lampard badly this season. Since you have been shouting playmaker playmaker. Let us see which playmaker can step into Lampards shoes. BTW, Deco is not really a playmaker like VDV because he can handle himself well in central midfield. Anyway, lets see. . . . . it should be interesting.

BTW, I also want Lampard to leave. . . . . . not because I don't like him but because he is greedy and unreasonable. You want him to leave because you don't like his style of play. IMO Lampard does many things that you don't appreciate because he makes the hard things look simple. Granted he can't dribble but his assist ratio is still up there with any playmaker in Europe pluas his defensive input and his goals input are double that of any playmaker.

However, I want all the greedy players to leave especially Lamps and Terry. We are seeing now that Carvalho is angry because Terry is earning more than him. I have a general rule that I would like Chelsea to sell any player who makes unreasonable wage demands.

Infact, they should let that motherphocker rot in reserves for a season, let me see which club is going to give 150,000 a week to a 31 year old for 4 years. Greedy bastard! He is always kissing the badge but he and Terry are the greediest bastards at Chelsea.

Keep kidding yourself. Maybe his recent qwatar with you guys is clouding your judgement. You only have to look at the three games he was suspended at the start of last season to know what life will be like without Ronaldo. Go ahead, sell him . . . we will throw a party at The Bridge.

When you say teenagers, you must differentiate between yuounger teenagers (13, 14, 15) and older teenagers (16, 17, 18, 19) . . . . yes I have loved wholeheartedly in my later teenage years, even a chick that I still think of every now and then although we were only 17 when we fell in love. I did not touch her for the first 6 months. It took a month just to get her phone no and a two months just to kiss her, so no it was not lust.

Wow, that is a hard one. Good luck. I suggest you take a whole day off and do it - but you will have Corpal Tunnel syndrome in your wrist bones by the time you are done. If you had done the originals in Access or SQL, you wouldn't have all these problems. They are all in different files so I don't know of any method to extract the same information from thousands of files at once but there should be one. Hopefully someone can help you with your problem . . . .

It is simple courtesy to stick out an interview till the end. Whatever the case, you should use the interview as practice for the next one if you don't like the role being offered. Also, the Recruitment consultant that set you up for the interview has wasted a lot of time setting up the interview, the HR have spent a lot of time processing your application so it is only right that you see out the interview. If you don't like the role, you can turn it down when it is offered to you, but it is rude to just walk out on an interview.
