I see young Josh isn't seeing much playing time at Swansea.
Not sure what that's telling us. Rogers was keen to get hold of him, so I assumed that he might play him. I'd have thought that he'd fit their style perfectly.

Must admit it is a little worrying.
I didn't realise just how good that Swansea side are - especially at home and it might well be that Rodgers doesn't want to upset a winning team. You ncould argue that if Josh is as good as some say he is (like me for example!) then he would get into the side no matter how good it was. I personally think it is down to complete lack of playing time under AVB which would also mean lack of match fitness and confidence. Let's just hope he gets some games soon. He should have gone to Norwich.......!

I suppose the Josh thing may be down to seeing him through optimistic blue-tinted glasses. We're all so desperate for just one youngster to make it here I suppose we probably hyped him up much too much. Hopefully he'll get a go of it next year and break into the side, but my optimism has faded somewhat since the start of this season regarding him.

Rumours circulating around Australian media that the one and only Zola is coming to Melbourne to talk with the board about becoming the new coach for Melbourne Victory.
I was pretty excited about this, but Zola's agent came out today and denied it saying he's been offered jobs from big clubs in Europe.
Should be more on this later today, he was also linked earlier in the season to the Melbourne job when the then coach was sacked and now the spot is open again as the interim manager Jim Magilton is confirmed to be going home

Anelka set to become a player manager.

Good luck to him, always liked him as a player when he was here, probably something to do with how unsettled he'd seemed elsewhere. I wasn't really happy about the way he left either, so I hope he does well.
Can't help thinking he's a bit quiet to be a manager though..

How the hell has that happened, he`s the least likely ex player turned manager I can think off.

Watching the Europa League semi right now (Atletico Madrid - Valencia) and Courtois is doing very, very well in goal for Atletico. For someone so young, he looks very composed and has made some very assured saves. I hope he progresses and we see him in blue in the future.

Atletica have made the final! Chelsea players will play in both European finals this year. Let's hope this holds true in July as well.
Good luck to young Thibault!

The Courtois thing is one of those catch 22 situations, isnt it? If he does really well, that means he is worth of displacing Cech which means, IMO, that we might see a great club servant giving up his place. On the other hand, if he does well and Cech remains at the top of his game another 10 years, we will be forced to sell on another promising youngster.
Oh well, rather an embarrassment of riches at GK than go through them like Man Utd

Apparently Fabio Borini is a serious candidate for a place in the Italy squad at Euro 2012. Roma seem to have successfully converted him (at least partially) into a wide player after all; he has 5 goals in 7 starts on the left wing. Whoops...

What the hell? Marcelo Lippi has taken over as manager of Guangzhou Evergrande.
Obvoiusly not one of our ex's, but considering Anelka's big splash in Shanhai, and the rumors about Drogba joining him, it seems Chinese football is on a meteoric rise.
It would be awesome if China's league became like an eastern MLS, with old stars going to raise the profile of the game in the country, especially if our former players have a role to play in all that.
