Already been confirmed.

That would probably be a breach of contract.

They'd have to delay Kick Off by 15 mins.

Id say Bassong and Beye are more important, maybe even Jonas and Guthrie aswell. By playing for Metz, Mallorca and Bolton Wanderers, they certainly did a better job at keeping us up than Alan Smith.

His corners are rubbish, but there is an area on the right hand side just inside the final third where he'll often carve a chance.

I'd offer him a choice tbh. Move on a free transfer to Gateshead, or fuck off on gardening leave for the rest of his contract.

If I had to list players in order of how crucial they were to rescuing us from relegation last season, I'd say it went: 1. Owen 2. Martins 3. Geremi 4. Beye 5. Barton

Well Maldini has the legs of a forty year old and he's still playing for AC Milan.

He was terrible at right back. He's the third best CM at the club though, and is the best right winger.

I assume that with Gezza gone, someone even worse will have to take them.

Since he's been here though, we have in general played better when he's been in the side.

He's bought out his contract.

Great minds

Is this Gareth Bale who has never won a game for Spurs?

He's not supposed to have the greatest fitness record, if the worse happens it would be a waste, so is a bigger gamble than people are making out.

Say Ashley doesn't want to spend any of his money on the club, but no longer wants to sell. Why doesn't he take out a loan? Would pay off in the long run imo.

What money? Wages. Even Sir Bobby had to clear players out to be allowed to bring others in.

I wouldn't tell Andy what to do if I was you...

Looks like Kinnear has no choice but to play that endless unused sub up front: Likely team: Given Geremi Coloccini Bassong N'Zogbia Duff Butt Guthrie Jonas Owen Harper

We plan to swap Elano with Carroll, without Mark Hughes noticing.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/newsbeat/newsid_7820000/7820412.stm He's currently running an academy in Spain for Brits who have been released by the likes of Liverpool, in an attempt to find the next Stuart Pearce and Ian Wright. Might raise the question of whether clubs ditch players too early and are missing out on late comers. Is it a good idea, or a wasted exercise that will just lead to fresh dissappointment for the youngsters?

For me, it is between Manyoo and Liverpool, and if Chelsea continue to fall away, I can see hungry Aston Villa having them.

I think Mourinho actually broke a lot of Chelsea players, made them worse than what they were when he inherited them, and only made them good for his game plan. Now he's no more, half their team will need replacing if they want to win the league again.
