LRD

Baffles me that we can't score and we can't defend.

Debs gonna be a cripple by the end of this match.

A definite red. It's at times like this I wish our players will pester the ref more.

Ajax desperate to sell too as he's into his last year.

Good thing you still have that season ticket, eh?

Enough said.

I'd want them fighting for one spot, who performs better plays. Would be a waste in any other position.

He doesn't figure in Mourinho's plans. Is he going to get a look in ahead of Torres, Eto'o and Lukaku? I doubt it. Unless he gets a big money move in the next week, I think he'd come back no problem if we were genuinely interested. He's one to fight for his place if that is what he wants. And there will surely be other options, some of which offering European football if he wants to leave. If there are other options which are so attractive you'd think the deal would be more or less done by now. I've not heard anything concrete yet. Cos Chelsea wants to bring in Rooney or Eto'o before letting him go? Lots of things can happen once they sign someone and look to shift one of the 3. Not forgetting too that the Russian window closes at a later date to the rest of Europe.

Anyway, no official contact going by the above posts.

Yup, winners of the 10 groups facing each other in a KO competition to decide the 5 going to Brazil.

Doubt Ba will want to come back here anyway. He seems pretty confident and committed to nicking a place at Chelsea regardless of the competition. And then you have a crap Torres in the equation and a chance to partner his idol if they sign Eto'o.

Incredible wasn't it? Employing the same tactics against Benfica and Brighton.

Probably wont come if he isn't. We can throw him to the reserves this time round or play the WC card after he signs.

Think he's targeting Europe more than anything. Good luck trying to sell his wares with those cheap replicas going around in Bangkok.

Worst case scenario - Ba's knees explode, Remy gets thrown into prison.

If this happen it would be by accident, we haven't the brains to do that and Aulus is so mental i dont think he cares. I'll love to see if he still is that mental once Lyon gets knocked out tonight.

Krul Debuchy Saylor Colo Santon Ben Arfa Sissoko Tiote Jonas Remy Ba What could be Pardew's preferred line-up.

Smokescreen to force Aulas' hand? I hope so.

A week to go and we could end up with potentially 2 loan signings to show for. Good job, Joe.

So, whose fat fingers or are we going RAWK in here?

Took them the whole summer and we are back to these 2 names with 1 week to go.
