I think the proposal was to loan him back to Genk and paying his wages. It seems though that Genk recon that Kevin will develop further and raise his value over the coming season, so they are optimistic they can get more money for him next summer.

Well, that's what you can expect with Matthäus in charge. My sympathies to Virosh and all the Bulgarians.

Please close it before it draws more flies Spuds fans...

Forssell broke his knee multiple times because he was mismanaged? Was Hutch also mismanaged then?

Nobody anticipated Spuds to be absolute c**ts? I did not want to believe it so far, but it seems that this club is really run by amateurs...

i only catched the end of the emenalo interview in HT, who was he talking about who are they sending out on loan?

He broke his collar-bone in the 8th minute, so it wasn't him. Out for 1-2 months right before the EC qualifiers...

Well, Perreira can be a plan B to Modric. Mata pushed in the centre behind the striker and Perreira on the left.

Since when does not rating a player equal to that? Kalou is a likeable bloke, but he is not very good as a football player. Kinda like SWP...

Is that 13 million or 1.3 million I wonder?

And also not playing against us? Can we buy Leverkusen's best player as well just make sure we will win the group easily? :)

erm... Is that a coming out? ;)

I think he made himself available a mere few weeks before his latest injury. He may still be a useful player for us, but he definiately has to change his game to achive that. No more running up and down, he has to convert to a pure dm role. Some weeks ago there was a video on CTV online (Blues News i think) which showed that Maka made a visit to Cobham and had a good time with the boys. I wonder if AVB tried to convince him to come back as a coach. I really hope he did, each and every one of our midfielders (bar Lamps maybe) could learn a sh*tload from Maka. Especially Essien if he accepts my advise to reinvent himself as a player.

Afaik they paid 21m Euros. That is ~18.5m pounds now, but it was ~16.5m when he signed in 2008. Lots of pages do not bother to look up historical exchange rates.

Stella? :S I can't stand it. Give me Leffe Brune anytime, and a good coffee to boost. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Tho my current favourite from Belgium is: Cuvée des Trolls

I thought Qaz was talking about that?

Don't forget Samantha Johnson. Epic cleavages.

That's probably always the actual date, and not the date of publishing. Have a look at the dates of the comments. Not a great layout, that's for sure :)

So you think he will go to L'Arse? ;)

Could this pave the way for Belgian beers at the Bridge? :)

Only if Belgium actually gets to the finals. Germany has already won that group, so they have to beat Hiddink's Turkey for the second place and then probably win a play-off game as well. Not an easy task.

Maybe, but we could name a lot of nations for whom the occupation by the USSR, and the oppression of the totalitarian communist regimes supported by the USSR were the worst things that ever happened to them. The USSR had to go along with communist rot in Europe, the world is better off without them. I much rather freedom of speech and the bunch of neo-nazis that it brings. Also racism was present in the communist era as well, it was simply more hidden. Except when it suited the regimes. In Hungary for example, in the '80s they were spreading anti-Polish propaganda in order to ensure minimal sympathy with the emerging Solidarity movement in Poland. I can not imagine that the big brother USSR was working much differently.
