£18m for an English international at his young age is about right. English cost more. That being said, we weren't right to sell him.

I'm going to go ahead and guess July 1st ;)

1) Real Madrid are none of our concern. I don't think they will even win their league next year anyways... 2) Tevez would be not be "just good enough." The lad is pure class IMO.

This could be a great thing for us if he ends up playing. I would love to see more of this to give the boys some confidence.

What refs do you consider "good" in the premiership?

I would much rather see us buying Zhirkov for 20 than Ribery for 40. We had our chance with Ribery, and that was before he signed for Bayern.

I'm a huge fan of 24, gets me hooked every season...BUT: You would think eventually Jack Bauer, when it looks like the solution is finally solved 16 hours into the problem would say to someone: "You know...the last 8 incidents have lasted exactly 24 hours, I have a feeling we have about 8 more hours of problems"

Next time I'm in Uganda I'm buying him a pint!

All hair Bennyboy for starting an amazing topic!

We should also pay Minero a whole bunch of money to just sit in an office with no work to do.

Nothing becomes official until July 1st. We may well have signed someone already, but we won't know unless it leaks to the press.

I've always thought that Drogba would thrive if given the proper role in a 4-4-2. That way he could team up with a second striker and he could play as a target man.

Let's bring back Robben as our Physio

Haha, gave me a laugh though :P

I would hope (and I think this is probably how it works) that they are trying to make deals with Villa, Aguero, Pato and Sturridge. They see how things pan out, and drop deals if they sign someone more preferable.

Pasadena!

Not to be rude, but in my mind that would be madness. Sell a player for £10million who just got the golden boot? He's the best striker in the premiership at the moment! Bringing in one more striker will slightly diminish his playing time, but not a lot of we use rotations. Using a two striker system he would be playing at least 2/3 games. With the ACON he will play every game, and if injuries arise as well, he will be playing closer to 3/4 or 4/5 of games.

Thanks mate! I look forward to the information.

To be fair I don't think he said he wanted to be a manager, but be involved afterwards. Maybe that's a coach, maybe that's assistant manager.

The figure always starts out higher than it ends up. Thought I remember somewhere he has a buyout in the mid 30's.

Or maybe he is Kun Aguero seeing how well the Chelsea fans would get excited over his signing! :unsure:

Where has that been confirmed?

Ruh Buh Juh, who did Chelsea replace you with? Hiddink?

Well if we want to go down that road: Cech, Ferrerira, Carvlaho, Joe Cole. Am I missing anyone?
