{Ed002's Note - Tony Spearing has been representing WBA at a at least three Vitesse games I am aware of including the win against Ajax in January when van Aanholt scored. Stevie Clarke has attended a game as well. }


I don't want to annoy you, but I watched Kalas in the U19 championship and he looked a "Kalas" act - is it likely we'd let him go or is he one of the future CB's for CFC?

Steeevo. {Ed002's Note - He will be assessed by the new coaching staff in the summer.}

Thanks for the info Ed would that be with a view to a possible loan move next season? {Ed002's Note - Not as I understand it.}

Don't know whether its true or not but I heard if Lukaku stays on loan at west Brom next season then Kalas won't be able to go there on loan either as each team is only allowed one player on loan from the same club.

True Ed?

WelshBlueBen {Ed002's Note - That rule is true.}

ED002 in The Times today there's a interesting piece on how plans are being drawn up in Qatar for a 'Dream Football League' 24-team club tournament to rival UEFA's Champions League have you heard anything on this?

BLUEBLOOD {Ed002's Note - It has been on the cards for a while but there are enormous practical issues surrounding it.}

Do you know if they were to be asked would chelsea consider it joining up? {Ed002's Note - It doesn't really work like that as it would be a major commitment. The primary issues are that the players would be playing year round every year and the damage that can be done from playing in the high summer temperatures in the Middle East. The Qatari's wish to talk with a number of clubs who have been involved in the pan European league discussions to see if there is something that could be done there. In the short-term I don't see anything significant happening with this. In the longer term the entire structure of the game will be changing and there will be options to work together with these potentially significant commercial revenue streams, but as I have explained before, it will completely change the orgainizational aspects of the game world-wide.}

Most ordinary fans care most about the domestic league, but I don't suppose the view of the ordinary fan comes into consideration.
