Very little in the world would make me happier than to see Xabi in a red shirt again. Can see him coming for a season later in his career, but not this Summer. Although that said, Valdano and Perez were never 100% on the signing in the first place, but I can't see them being stupid enough to sell him. Torres wouldn't ever be able to fix his relationship with the club and will never be able to get back to where he was. He's gone, and he should stay gone. Can see him having another shocking season at Chelsea and then moving on to Atleti and salvaging some pride for a few years.

Hadn't realised I'd not done this... Kuyt Suarez Flanagan (just for being so assured)

Happy birthday, big man!

Can't decide on Silva either, he looks to have all the technical attributes but still has a lot to learn. Agree about Adorjan, though, looks a top prospect. Anyone know anything about this Hatch lad? Been impressed with him, sprayed a few good balls around and has been good defensively. Absolutely bossing them off the park at the minute.

The guy's a gentleman and one of us, absolutely love him.

JFT96 YNWA.

Considering we're short of depth in central midfield, and we'd only get a pittance for him, I'd like to think Aquilani will get another shot. Think he can offer something.

Sure Torres enjoys playing for a classy team with classy fans http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2337513,00.html

About a fortnight ago I said to a mate: "I fancy Chelsea or Inter to win the champions league this year".

Good, that. Always looked good when I've seen him play. Think he's just been put up top because he's a tall lad, but there's more to him than that. And flopping in the premiership doesn't mean the player is a s***house. Still rate Morientes as a quality player and he was dire. Not that he's flopped. Yet.

Seen City a few times this season because of work. Kompany aside they are shocking defensively and Joe Hart has the single worst distribution out of any goalkeeper I've ever seen. Think Dzeko is bonza, though. For a team with such fantastic attackers, they are pretty dreadful at attacking with any dexterity and are very nonintuitive. Might be shackled by Mancini, mind.

My younger self decided to get Cheryou on the back of his top. I distance myself from the idiot.

Says it all about Poulsen that he is behind Spearing and Shelvey in the pecking order. Still think Jovanovic should be given a chance. Something must have happened behind the scenes with him. Remember TK Karlsen saying on twitter that his agent was trying desperately to get him a deal.

Hope Flanagan does start, been wanting to see him play over the last couple of months. Can't be as bad as Degen.

Was he not ahead of/in a three with Pizarro and De Rossi?

Can't claim to have watched Roma much whilst he was there, but I don't think he played at the base of midfield like Xabi did.

Aquilani wasn't coming into replace Alonso in the Alonso role, the idea was to obviously change how we were playing because we couldn't break down 10 men. Well, sometimes, anyway. No one can do the Alonso role as well as he can, the only player who comes close is Nuri Sahin.

Want to kick him in the head. That'll stop him.

No chance, unless City come to sit and defend for 90 minutes like they do against most other 'big' teams. Shelvey back on the bench? And Aurelio?
