In answer to the original Q - No!

Wonder if this is connected to recent 'problems'?

I've heard that Roman is gonna kick Kenyon and Arnesen in the grapes unless they have a good few good excuses as to why recent events are NOT their fault! Apparently he has bought some specialist boots! ;)

Damn straight! ;)

What would Brian Boitano do?

Yes he is 30. Yes he will cost a bit to much. But it seems that this signing is important to Carlo, and every manager surely deserves one. :huh:

That's a pretty good read and does not seem riddled with 'bias'. Which is rare these days.

I think his main use will be for Europe. We need all sorts of quota's now. 24, 6'4! English. Played 20 odd games for Boro. Lets give him a chance. Oddly I am SURE on SSN a few days back it said Hilario had been released. Yet to see who else has been cut but reserves like Cummings, Magnay and Younghusband will surely go.

He's done well. Maybe Gus will get the MK job now!

I desperately want us to develop our own so we do not have to whore ourselves around every year stuffing gold in the mouths of mercenary tosspots to lower themselves to play for us for a measly £100k plus a week. I also fear we are getting so old that our next sponsor will be Saga Holidays! :) Don't even start we on how Pato is not worth more than Kaka!!!! :(

Do not really people hating us. But a certain amount is expected through jealousy, Kenyon, Ashley, Drogba etc. Personally I do not understand how anyone does not hate the scouse scum. maybe their 'best fans in the world' stole the ballot papers.

Yeah, if their 'fly a kite' goes nowhere, then the player a few days later has 'snubbed' chelsea/barca/Real/Man City. Pathetic really. The Daily Star is one of the worst. Most of their stories are not even vaguely believeable.

While i think there is some truth to this, there are 'big name' players at Chelsea with too big a say...I think Scolari was shown as the wimp he was. And relaying this info from his footballing stronghold in Uzbekistan (or where-ever) does not put him in a strong light. Even Avram could get a better job (bless).

Zlatan is a flat-track bully and a total headcase. I used to like him a lot but seriously he is a nutter, dressing room poison.

Starfish? (thats a new one on me)

When fit he is one of the best wide men in the game, and at £7m or so that is a great return on selling him for £24m. He's a match winner and someone who can unlock a side, we have not had enoug of those these past 2 years.

Put simply... Is he worth almost £20m...no Is he better than Bossi...no is it good for the Scouse Louses to 'shoot their bolt' on almost £20m for the player...yes Makes no sense to me. I want us to pursue the Ashley Young thing more...not as RB of course. :unsure:

My theory is that one time in the Chelsea changing room someone laughed at the size of his weener. It's the only explination that makes any sense! :D

Not seen this reported anywhere...yet the original story was EVERYWHERE! That is what is wrong with the press in this country!

In the words of the late great Bill Hicks. It's all about working out this food/air deal" Basically Madrid have plenty of expensive widemen who have a better injury record than Robben. IF rumours of a £7-9m pricetag are true then I think he HAS to be a consideration. He is better than anything we have outwide. And i think it could be time for Joe to go central.

Did I say that? No. :o

Sold for £24m, back for £7m. He will still be good for 30-40 games per season in all comps. And when fit...he is DAMN good.

Who said we had. While you can not believe everything it is equally foolish to just dismiss everything. Most of those we are being linked with (see above) have quotes in the stories fom the agents...who could also be 'flying kites'. I just fear these stories being true. Us signing Deco and Miniero last season made no sense to me...but still they came!

And if we do not get the likes of Mancienne, Sinclair, Di Santo, Stoch etc involved this season they will move on for a pittence, and then become huge! Meanwhile we get a sponsorship from Saga!

Villa was never coming to Chelsea. He's a home boy. Robben available for £7m...so why are we not snapping him back up?
