And how can I say no to that handsome falla. We would welcome him with open arms here at Everton!

Vidal for 20m? No way. Juve would not sell him, not even for higher, and rightfully so. Also, this info comes from the Sunday Mirror. Though they do list Ramires as a part of the deal alongside the cash.

John Swift and Andreas Christensen have travelled with the first team, oh boy :[

Are Juve shopping Vidal? Didn't he just extend with them....like...this season?

And what's the real deal with Pogba? They want to unload him too? For whom? How broke are they?


edit: Those are some sexy cuticles you've got there Beans.

I think I really dislike the rise of Indie games.

The good thing about the rise of indie games in my opinion is it gives us a lot more variety this generation than previous gens, also at cheaper prices. Some indie games also feel so well polished I can imagine it to be a big-budget game. One example is the game Outlast, can't believe that was made by an indie team!

Does anyone actually believe that Mou will deliberately field a weakened team this afternoon?
Click to expand...

Honestly I think it will be somewhere in between. Thing is, he has no choice on many players. Hazard is still injured and so is Eto'o. Cech is definitely out for a few months and Terry may not even be fit for the return leg of the CL semi final.

He will start Matic and Salah since they are not eligible for the CL and they are definitely not part of a "weakened squad". He'll likely start Ba or Torres up front which IMO will not help CFC one bit as they are VERY inconsistent to the point of hopelessness.

Having Schwarzer as the goalie to stop Sturridge, Sterling, Suarez, Gerrard...will be a big problem.

He will likely field Luiz at centerback which will be a weakness for CFC as he does not do well there at all anymore, otherwise he may field Kalas there who has little to no experience in the league.

Midfield, he may place Van Ginkel which would be crazy as he has not featured in the first team since he injured himself in September! He may also use Ake but that would be suicidal at Anfield IMO.

Lampard and Mikel will start due to their suspension in the 2nd leg.

His weakened team may be:

Schwarzer
Ivanovic - Luiz - Kalas - Cole
Lampard - Mikel - Matic
Oscar - Salah
Ba

No reason to start Ake or Van Ginkel when Lamoard, Mikel and Matic will not feature in the next CL game.

Edit: Oh SNAP. Mourinho hinted he may use Hilario instead of Schwarzer so he will not be risked. Hilario did not feature for Chelsea for 2 and a half seasons. This is horrible. Not looking forward to this match at ALL.

I don't think he'll go that far, Fady.

I doubt he'll field any inexperienced players in defense.

Schwarzer needs match fitness.

I don't think the line up will surprise us. Though at Madrid he did say he'll play a 4-3-3 with Pepe as a DM, which he did.

Possibly, but his reason for likely starting Hilario is, as per the CFC website: "The Australian, our second-choice keeper, is expected to start the second leg against Diego Simeone's side on Wednesday, and the manager is wary of him picking up an injury in today's game at Liverpool, meaning Hilario could be involved for the first time since August 2011."

It was reported last night that Eto'o, Hazard, Terry, Torres, Luiz, Willian, Ramires & Cech all not with the Chelsea team at Formby Hall (their hotel in Liverpool).

Don't know if it's genuine but it was reported everywhere on Liverpool / Chelsea Twitter pages.

It seems he can play anywhere across the front line (so he can interchange like Rodgers likes and provide cover) and is still very young at 22.

It's a name I don't recognise so it looks like a new story as well.

I'll go with it being real and being our Aspas and Borini replacement :(

"Ryan Giggs' managerial debut heaps pressure on Van Gaal"

According to the Mirror.

There is no point Woodward kidding himself - three more wins and Giggs will present a case for ALREADY being suitable to right the wrongs of David Moyes.

They're going to write endless shit about Giggs being poised for a takeover. Must be fucking odd to watch football, presumably enjoy it, and then write utter nonsense about it.

The same people that wanted to keep Moyes, now want Giggs. What goes on in their shit brains?

Telegraph said:
The new manager spent much of his time at the club overhauling antiquated scouting systems and providing a huge and thoroughly modern database on players which will still be used.

It meant that, contrary to some claims, United did trust him to spend the £200 million they found for transfers this summer – and whoever succeeds him will be presented with Moyes’s targets.

Not having that. LvG will hardly have kept his mouth shut.

Materazzi threatening to break Coutinho's legs and send him to the hospital, after a nutmeg in training, is unforgivable.

Please take responsibility for that piece of Merda.
