Totally fair result so far. Adrien is having a great match, our loaned players really like to screw us when they play against us

Fletcher isn't, particularly; 25-30K, IIRC.
Johnson's our highest earner on ~40K, but we'll be doing our level best to get him sold in the summer, so the transfer fee may well be quite small.
What?!?!?!
He'd be a great buy for Liverpool. Newcastle would do well with him if Tiote goes. Chelsea don't need him.
However this can't be what he's saying. It's too open.
Mulumbu takes his places on the proven cunts list.
Yeah, I'm not saying the teams in La Liga are weak. All the mid table teams are quite solid teams (Bilbao, Atlético, Valencia, Levante).
But I don't rate La Liga as a decent competition because of Barcelona and Real Madrid, they ruined that league for me... of course CR and Messi can score more goals than Falcao because you can't compare the quality of squads of Barcelona or Real Madrid to the squad of Atlético Madrid.
Messi in another team would probably have less than half of goals he had this season. The same goes to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Could be a decent shout at the right price. Won't be us though, we have no-one left to negotiate the deal...
Think Ian Ayre said it would still be possible for transfers to go ahead, speculating, but I'd say it'd be a combination of Clarke-Segura-Ayre making decisions without a manager. I'd like him at Liverpool, much better than Spearing or Adam.

Ah right. It's odd I thought Johnson would be great this season. He's a competent defender, but he's been awful. I can't remember him playing well once.
If Stale can keep Fletcher, Doyle, Milijas and Kightley he's done a good job.
I haven't seen any of their play but glad to hear it. If he does take over I can't wait until Villa come to Old Trafford. He'll get such a good welcome.
Who are you and why do we want you.
Mulumbu's class, he reminds me of Essien when he was good. Admittedly not as brilliant, but I like him. Would be a great buy at Liverpool.
We wont get Hazard, his wages will be too high for us
So another summer of no big buys? I thought Wenger had authority to spend...
Possibly trying to hijack the Kagawa deal from United.
Don't know whats happened to the Yann M'vila deal.
Seems to have gone quiet on that front.

If Torres decides to leave... Who will be the vultures?
Spurs seem to be interested in Lass.

I hate Twitter sometimes. Why is he tweeting about his potential choices. Just stupid.
Maybe he's playing FM or something.

Atletico Madrid, some Serie A teams, and maybe us depending on who takes over.
Yeah its pretty fun. I am really stoked over the idea. Hope it happens.
Actually, this could be an elaborate troll.

Well Lukas Podolski is here already...lol
And I think M'Vila will decide his future after the last league game tonight.

So I'm just having a look around photos from last night and I come across this. Anybody care to interpret?
It's from when the penalties were just about to be taken. Both teams were standing there hugging and getting their shit together. The ball was in the middle of Chelsea bodies and Lahm decided to go over and take it and get ready. They weren't denying him the ball or anything.
How good is Podolski? I thought he was in a team that was relegated.
Nothing much on that since the initial rumour, although this will no doubt spark it up again.
Mulumbu could be good for us as a partner for Lucas in a midfield 2, and a player like that could be vital in taking the pressure of Lucas whilst he geta back into the game.
That being said, if we're on a tight budget this summer, we have more pressing concerns. His wages should be fine, but the fee would have to be really good.
If he plays as striker he could do very well. I think he could even work as second striker behind RvP.

I think he'll thrive at a team that creates lots of chances like Arsenal

Well that is hopeful, I guess. As long as Wenger doesn't mismanage him. Since I brought it up, why does Wenger insist on forcing players outside of their preferred/natural position? Which players has he ruined like that?

It's a bit unfair to judge him based on Køln, especially with their defense in mind. Of course it would be hilarious if Wenger made him play as a winger.
I would disagree. We have:
- Lucas, probably unfit coming back from a major injury
- An injury prone Gerrard
- Spearing, who isn't good enough
- Adam, the world's least mobile footballer.
- Henderson, solid, unspectacular
- Shelvey (no complaints)
- Aqualani, who won't want to come back.
We need to strengthen in the middle, especially the defensive side. In an ideal world, I'd have Moutinho. Seen very little (read: nothing) of Rasmus Elm, but he's seems to be getting rave reviews.
He will do great at Arsenal + he has an awesome song: http://www.myvideo.de/watch/69891/Lukas_Podolski_unser_Held
He has / had all the talent in the world but had trouble putting it all together at Bayern. Still makes me sad that it didnt work out, he went back to his hometown team and became one of the best Bundesliga players but the rest of his team just sucked.
Best Inside City ever!
So many good Aguero bits especially when they play back the winning goal for him to watch during a interview and he just has a huge grin!
Also when he's in the tunnel after the game and he has a vacant look on his face like 'wtf has just happened'.

Piers Morgan must be going crazy right now, thinking he will go to Arsenal.

Woah! Dat final eyy?
I was surprised by how many in the pub I was in wanted Chelsea to win. There was one bloke who went fucking insane when Bayern scored, when full time went on my way to the toilet I stopped to let him know he wasn't alone in wanting Bayern to win...he told me it was because he put 10,000 grand on Bayern to win!
Utter bullshit obviously but man, he sold that lie well.
Congrats to Chelsea-Gaf

Chelsea have been linked to Hulk for some time.. he's obviously one of the best in the world too. I'm sure they will make a move for him if they sell Torres and Drogba leaves.
