In my opinion we should have loaned romeo in stead of debrune !R$#

Yes he do not get enough game time tbh and he is a very promising prospect. But he is gonna cover for Mikel when he goes to Africa cup thing, i think that is why they didnt.

Two completely different players mate.

More like mikel instead of essien. BLUEBOY1

Ed, do Chelsea have any interest in signing Fernandinho? I just thought that he was really impressive on Wendesday night, Cheers. {Ed002's Note - Nope.}

We'll finish third in a close fight; next season maybe. But I'm so certain we'll win some silverware this year.

ED001 what do you make of Josh Mceachren? {Ed001's Note - I like him, I remember seeing him play for England U17s, when they won the Euros at that level. He has a lot of ability, I just feared he would struggle to make the breakthrough due to his slight build. Not because it is a bad thing, but because English coaches are still obsessed with brute strength as a deciding factor in whether a player is good enough. He did struggle to establish himself last season, but showed flashes of his ability, which he has a lot of. Since going out on loan he has stepped up, he is beginning to show what he can do and showing some brilliance at times. The only problem is where will he play for Chelsea? I am not sure he would be able to play as one of the central 2, not in the current system, so that leaves him fighting for a spot as one of the attacking 3. That is not an easy fight for anyone!}

I watched the Borough game last night, and was very impressed by the way he played in the middle of the park. He was playing very deep in front of the back 4, with a few forays forward (including one incredible run into the box when he beat 5 players but couldn't quite finish it). Playing a similar role to the one Scholes now plays at Utd. He barely misplaced a pass all night, is comfortable on the ball and has great balance. I agree with Ed001 on his build, and he certainly will not be winning much in the air. He is in good form though, and Borough are playing good football so all this experience will make him a better player. We will have to wait and see what happens when he returns, but there is no doubt the talent is there.

Well he could always start going to fitness and build up, being strong and little isent always bad look at Tevez.

Do you think he can be as good as whitshire?

We will be fine this season and everyone is playing well,sure some things need improving ,but that is always the case as nothing is perfect.Our play has been quite brilliant,true Shaktar dominated the match ,not because they have better players but because they are a better team.Their team game was fabulous.They have three or four decent players,but the team play was spot on,every player knew what they were doing and where the other player would be.

We are the Champions of Europe and have achieved everything as a club,now we are making the transition from an efficient team to a breathtaking ball playing team and we have been doing very well.

What I am saying is stop complaining and enjoy the football.If we are playing this well now imagine us in a years time.
Atleast we are not like the cheater Mancs.Support the team and the way it is playing and as I see it every player is happy and trying thier best,mistakes happen and that is the beauty of the game.As long as a player is playing whole heatedly I have no complaints.They will definitely bring us glory.

Spot on mate. Realistically, I will be content with a Top 3 finish, knock-out stage in the UCL, (and maybe FA Cup and COC, I dnt really care), play a beautiful brand of football (at least like Dortmund or Shaktar), plus if we win the Club World Cup, I'll be in the moon.

Were not playing well though.

hey ed,

any interest in luis muriel from udinese or destro from genoa i believe?

thanks,

cali {Ed002's Note - There was plenty of interest from various clubs in Luis Muriel over the summer but he has signed a new long term contract at Udinese. Destro has moved twice since he was at Genoa.}
