Am sure all will hope that England v France match will be played and watched in a spirit of fraternity and simply in best spirit of the beautiful game. Probably no one minds much about the result. Apparently Griezmann's sister survived the attack on the rock concert -- thank goodness.

I hope Mr Abramovich will be there and have a meeting with Griezmann. We also knew how he changed Hazard mind in the past.

I believe that our ex played lassana diarra had a cousin that was tragically killed in the attacks. He has remained in the France squad too. What an absolutely pointless atrocious event. Pray for Paris.

Yes you are right about lassana diarra, and thanks for mentioning his cousin -- Asta Diakite was killed in the attack on the rock concert.

Lots of rumours about Costa back to Atletico again recently. Don't know how true it is or whether Ed knows. Where do people stand on what they think of him?
IMO he's definately the most impactful striker we've had since the Drog but lately he just seems to want to fight instead of score goals. I don't want to see him go but I would like to see him concentrate more on scoring instead of causing trouble. He also needs to stay central unless it's his only option. He keeps drifting too far side whether it's also due to a lack of service I don't know. I do think changing to a 4-3-3 would help a lot more. I'd add Traore alongside Hazard and Costa on the right because he may take a bit of pressure off. He makes proper strikers runs from the wide areas and he has goals in his game. It's an added bonus he's left footed I think we could have our naturally left footed right winger but whether Jose see's that I don't know.
Cheers anyway.

I'd like to see Traore get more game time. lacked composure in front of goal in Stoke C1C match, but impressed with skill and vision nonetheless.

MagicalEden: You know I think he will go back because I always thought he was coerced into joining. He only had an impact in the first half of last season and then his hamstring situation arose and it is common knowledge that JM was not happy when he was complaining about it but nothing showed on a scan. I agree with him drifting out wide when he is essentially in our league a 'goal poacher'; not good in the air, rarely shoots from distance but was clinical in the box. Sadly I think his performances this season, other issues and this fear that he will miss games through suspension will see him go. I feel we put a marker down for Griezmann pre-season and he may well be used in luring him to us. Once again reports of Juventus wanting to discuss Oscar and I feel he failure to improve could see him finally leaving so we are going either buy or start playing some of the youngsters and I want to see more game time even if they don't start for Traore, Kenedy and Loftus-Cheek.

Ryan Bertrand my friends why in gods name didn't Jose give him a chance a no de bruyne didn't wanna fight for his place but how did Jose not see bertrands potential is very dissapointing he bemuses me at times an then he sticks with players like Oscar who offer zero.

Allegedly, Mourinho is trusting his associates as it seems they were the ones deciding who to sign in various cases. Probably the same people helped him to decide to cut off Lukaku, KDB and Ryan Bertrand (Mata as well) . Personally I can't forgive Mourinho for selling those 3 previously mentioned players. Mourinho is not completely white as he is not completely black but to claim that he is absolutely the best is at least not intelligent.

I don't no about someone else making those kind of decisions antibot but it was definitely an error of bad judgement with Ryan and he never even gave the talented kid a start. we can argue azpilicueta took his chance at rb no one can argue his talents and how he grasped his chance under Jose guy is superb but u can't help feel sorry for Bertrand he deserves to be at Chelsea. I'm not sorry to see lukaku go or de bruyne de bruyne didn't want to fight so it seems he's weak minded. mata was a tragedy let's hope he signs wisely in the summer . would love Morata to come but looks like he's been built up and nurtured at juve to resign for Madrid.

Ed are you suggesting that Mourinho made all those decisions by himself alone?
