He certainly was not the champion of last summer! It is not inconceivable to see ALL of Jose's signings from last year gone 12 months later. How many clubs can ever say that? (I consider Alex to be a signing from a few seasons ago)

No Kaka? That is ok, let's go for Pato...he looks like a real player.

Gutted. I first wanted Hiddink, but then I really really wanted Hughes. Thought we were going to sign him and set myself up for a major dissapointment here. After I heard Hughes was gone I didn't care who we appointed. Now that I have finished a days work I have simmered a bit and decided the only manager I have any interest in whatsoever is Spaletti, which of course means we will not sign him. Dissapointing day.

I watched a fair number of Sevilla's league matches this year (probobly around 15-20) and barely remember seeing Boula. I have no idea if he was injured or just not up to it, but he did not seem to figure very much, and certainly did NOT enhance his pricetag.

Everybody linked with our managerial vacancy have had something to say on the matter, either personally or through an intermediary. Except Hughes. Does this mean anything? Or have I missed any quotes or feelings attributed to him? After Hiddink ruled himself out my hope is that Hughes will be the man.

Don't forget we have a 13M RB that can't get a game for us at the moment.

Wouldn't be the first time we've done that. I'd love to think we have learned our lesson...but I tend to think we haven't.

I've heard rumblings that Eto'o has lost his ertxa gear of pace that sets him apart from nearly all other strikers. Is this true? I have no idea, but I'd be just a little more then apprehensive if we shell out big money on a striker who may be losing his legs. Kun Aguero please, thogh the BBC very recently did a bit on him where he declared he is definitely staying with Atleti for at least another season or two.

Did we spend 9M on Ivanovic to be 4th choice in the middle and second or third choice on the right? This is, in all honesty, rediculous.

"If only" Robben and Duffer weren't made of glass. We'd have 100 points a year!!!

Really happy for Joe, but it is a crying shame in my opinion that Riccy didn't get it. I don't think anybody came close to him this season for Player of the Year. Popularity contest, but at least he got recognized in some capacity. Shockingly underrated.

In my opinion he is Madrid's best player and is certainly going nowhere. As mentioned before, agent speak.

The most important part of any banner for the site is surely the url!

Great to see Duffer at the end, true Blue.

Agree 100% Loz, however, barring injury does anybody really think Grant will drop one of Essien, Ballack, or Lampard? Perhaps Maka is dropped, however in a match where we need defensive cover I cannot see him on the bench. Essien at RB it is I'm afraid, be shocked to see it any other way. Paulo, unfortunately, is just "easier" to drop.
