Sturridge is a must, I'd like us to give Kakuta a chance aswell, I remember when he came on against Apoel in the CL and was brilliant.

Yeah haha but I believe it will be a thread in the general chat when its offical!

Yup indeed he is, could use him at the right wing I believe in 4-3-3 formation.

I can see us loosing out on him, we never seem to push it anymore for a signing, which is a shame because this lad has loads of potential and loosing him to utd would just leave me gutted.

Does he have to be special if he does his job right? It's not a entertainer like Ronaldo and Messi

:( sad to see him go but hopefully we can get good replacement for him!

wow some sh*t coming out of that c**t, we beat them 3 times last season and now even before the seasons has started he comes out with that sh*t, funny how we totally dominated them majority of the game. The reason of them winning was simply because A. Cole had a really bad game.

How do you know that?

Just started watching Lost, season 1 episode 7 so far. Decided to give it a shot even though I always thought it was way to confusing, we will see after awhile what I think about it.

Hahaha holy sh*t, that is just amazing. Joe Cole is now somehow better then Messi.

Awesome, hopefully play against WBA!

Just read the papers and apparently we are "leading" the chase over barca,

amart, small piece of advice to you, think before you post crap like that.

I still think they will play the way I posted, if they wanted Ibra to leave, pep would of said so in their "one on one" talk and there is no way Ibra would want to be a bench warmer all season long.

Afraid he will end up at Barca or Man Utd

Yup, he drops back way to far and to often from that space but I still reckon he is a head in the pecking order for WBA.

Was thinking the same, Van Bronckhorst has not played in ages for barca, Abidal however will be playing there :P Barca will still most likely play like this and I dont buy the fact that they would use Ibra as super-sub, either sell him or use him. -------------Valdes Alves--Puyol--Pique--Abidal -------------Busquets ----------Xavi--------Iniesta Messi-------------------------Villa ------------Ibrahimovic

Since the transfer is complete now, I wish him all the luck at Swansea.

Ah bloody hell.. could it not have gotten sorted before he goes to US to play a friendly!

too bad Hughes ended up at Fulham, could of been the perfect job for him to manage Villa. Who will be O'Neills replacement?

3-1 our attacking play will destroy them, unfortunately we will concede a goal due to a defensive mistake of some sort.

Yup

Yeah, I'd like to see Sturridge get at least 45 min, subbing with Kalou at Half-time.

Sturridge for me, so impressed with this lad coming on against man u and totally rippin them at the end, shame he did not get a goal out of it.

----------------Cech --Ivan----Alex----JT----A.Cole ---------------Mikel -------Essien------Lampard Kalou---------------------Malouda -------------Anelka That would be my starting 11 for WBA. We have a pretty bad pre-season indeed but our offense has been getting a lot better, what needs to be fixed is the defense and the slacking going on in it, especially against the mancs yesterday, to be fair if we get it sorted im not scared to face any team seeing how we pushed them to the limit the last 15 mins.
