Just wanted to say thanks to the editors who keep this site going. It's a great site and I love using it all the time.

I'm really pleased with the signing in the window; however, if i'm completely honest I think Carrol would have been a better purchase for us, but i'll settle for Torres, ha!

Other than that I'm a bit surprised with all the Mikel hate on here. A lot of people seem annoyed he isn't being played in a more advanced role but I don't think he is an advanced midfielder. I watch almost every match and from what I've seen he's been pretty solid, he's no Makelele, but he's definitly not far off. He tackles well, holds the ball excellently and he almost always offers a get out ball.

I understand that he doesn't play many amazing cutting passes, and yes while Lampard was out we missed that, but that's not his job. Having him as an anchor also allows Ramieres and Essien to get forward which they are both much more equipped to do.

Just thought I'd air my view a bit. I really hope he's not sold in the summer because I think he's a good young player who has a lot of potential.

Anyone care to share their thoughts?

Reckoner {ed's note - thanks mate, it has been hard work, have to say I am pleased you got Torres too, I was sick of the speculation every window! My worry with Mikel is that he doesn't seem switched on enough for a defensive midfielder, he seems to be caught out of position a fair bit because he falls to sleep. As a kid he was a great attacking talent, but now he just seems an average player, I just wonder if you are getting the most out of him.}

His armband proved he was a red Torres Torres.

But Roman came and turned his head Torres Torres.

Went to the club that hands out flags

Where the Captain shags the slags

Fernando Torred Chelseas number 9.

I believe we have got the better deal here. You no marks will go mad as soon as he starts mis firing or gets injured. I have a respect for Drogba but I now have none for Torres with his comments and s**thouse tactics. Yo find out who the men are when times get tough. Let's see how it pans out.
