Arsenal were the first team in the PL to field an all foreign player team, the story of ruining English home grown started with Wenger. Gutter media are just trying to hide this little fact with there bias and sell papers but the truth has a way of being properly remembered.

I think he will be electrifying, he is one of the fastest ball carrying players in Europe. He's German so he'll be strong and they know how to go down and make it look good. Schurrle is faster than Bale and my money goes on him running straight past most Prem defences or going down in the box, either way a few goals he will have.

Well, that's confirmed it then, he's going nowhere.

Mourinho will either break Luiz or make him, he'll drill him into his defensive role. I expect a few teddies being thrown by Luiz and Mourinho to bench Luiz more than once next season. But... my money is on Luiz being a solid centre back by the end of the season, that or he will be gone.

Mikel rumour is another one from trash gossip media, the channel started it. I don't see him leaving under Mourinho and expect him to improve over the next few months. Mikel can be excellent in one match and lose the plot in the very next game. I suppose some of this could be down to dressing room and motivation. Worth keeping and now at the right age to start dominating his position on the pitch.

Mata to sign new 5 year deal on return from the confederation cup, 120k a week being reported.

The Manc's are as deluded as the scousers, silly fools claiming Utd turned Mourinho down for the job at Trafford...mmmh! Mourinho gave indications he was returning earlier in the year and certainly before old red nose had suggested retiring, his (Mourinho) daughter had also been asked about her future and her fathers return while visiting her new college way back in December, she at the time let the cat out of the bag regarding London. My guess is negotiations on the Mourinho return had started as far back as the end of our CL winning season. Why would CFC take Benitez as temp manager?.. if the club didn't already have the new full timer sitting in the wings waiting for a second entry. The board knew Benitez would be a controversial appointment, they knew there would be a reaction amongst some of the supporters. But... we've know for sometime the marketing and PR need to up it's productivity and it did, it set up a huge platform for the return of Mourinho. The planning was meticulous and before the slating starts of the marketing/PR, let's not forget they are paid a lot more than you are to do their job and I imagine they are far better qualified, not to mention the experience they have certainly been forced to gain this last 3-4 years while under RA. If Mourinho had been looking at the Man Utd job then it would have had to have been during his start to the second season end of his first at Madrid, a little early in a job to be thinking of moving so quickly. Manchester or Madrid?... I know where I'd rather be. He wasn't considered?... b####c#s!.. He might not have been considered but I am sure Utd board would have been well aware, as were the board of City as to where Mourinho was already going. The deal with Mourinho was done at least a year ago, all that was required was for him to manufacture an exit from Madrid and in the right time parameter. The smooching certainly was happening last season, the full entry happened at the end of last year. To suggest Mourinho turned up for an interview in June this year (this month), the meeting lasted 5 minutes, deal was done, agreed and signed is ludicrous. A multi million pound contract already drawn up and signed with legal bodies present takes time to arrange and specifics agreed. The Mourinho return has too much coincidence around it, too many rumours to be anything other than a contractual agreement meticulously drawn up and planned, typical Mourinho. The Mancs can remain both deluded and bitter in the safe knowledge that their era has come to an end. The new United managerial titan known as Moyes will deliver them what they so desperately need..... Welcome back "The Happy One"

Cavani, Hulk, Schurrle IN. Moses, Ba and Torres OUT. Lukaka now returning under Mourinho tutelage.... K.D.B IN now Benayoun gone. Wallace IN to replace Paulo. Essien back for Malouda. Marin?... to be fair to the lad he needs a consistent training programme with the likes of Mourinho and his team, then, a run in the team to make an accurate assessment....... So, sold in January 2014. Ake out on Premiership loan for one season and give the boy a season of constant top flight football. And.... a season introducing one or two of our returning loan players/senior youth to the first team, sifting who will play a future role and who will not. Luiz and Mata for sale = Press mischief... Now, I doubt very much all of this will happen but it could, as we know with Chelsea, anything can happen. But.... be interesting to have a front line to choose from like this, if available. Cavani rumours really heavy last night and wouldn't be surprised if a deal announced this week sometime, not so sure about Hulk and Schurrle could have gone tits up due to K.D.B reported as not going out on loan. Now reported as returning to the Bridge after discussions with Mourinho in the last couple of days. Silly season, hate it or love it... it's here once again. * Please note: Don't be surprised if some bored, lazy hack has this printed in their column tomorrow morning as done deals* Best 3 strikers at the Bridge should be... The above or different?

I have a soft spot for any team that gives us 6 points each season, I love those teams. I also like teams that lose to us in the CL or cup games. I hate any that dare score against us, apart from that I am fine as I am and Chelsea all the way, thank you.

Oh deary me, classless shirt, like the team it was designed for so it'll do well. Looks like an old, cheap, pub league shirt from the States. It's so idiotically gross but if a song is sung they'll claim they're being attacked and want sympathy for the victims of the shirt..

Much news at the moment about Schurrle and his expected/rumoured move to the Bridge but with Isco around the same price it's hard to say who'd be better at CFC. Isco rumours are based around City but I thought CFC had signed a best buddy agreement with Malaga recently which, I imagine, will lead to CFC loaning Malaga FC players for the coming seasons. When we loan we want something in return so, Isco should be first refusal really. Schurrle is said to be faster on the wing but Isco can play right wing/side but is more creative than Schurrle. Or do we just have enough Spaniards and an industrious German be better suited to CFC right now. Which of the two would be a better buy long term?

He does when he's injured.

Nice headache to have though.

I don't think his strength has gone to be honest, his pace I agree but you won't see him treading on other players in the Spanish league, he'd be off straight away. His strength is there as it's the last thing we lose.

He had 31 starts at Madrid last season, played in several positions during his time with them. When fit he's a good addition, who else do we have that could knock Yaya Toure off the ball?.. Essien might not be good for 60 games next season but if managed correctly could do a good job against the likes of City etc..

Hilario and Turnbull's contracts have expired and no news on them being offered further extensions, anybody thinking Courtois will now head back from Athletico and be playing next season at the Bridge?.. I know he's reported as being concerned about getting enough first team football prior to the world cup (Daily Fail) but, surely it's time for him to return and start the process of taking over from Cech.

Totaly agree, the whole country has become a den of drama and hysteria, flowery language of some mass driven by gutter media. All victims, victims who strike first and cry foul when hit back. Tribal animal support helps fuel the idiotic journo but in a nation that has been taught to tell tales and cry foul during the 21st century we should not be surprised at such moronic behaviour. Roll on next season.....
