Thuram - Arsenal Del Piero -Newcastle (ceremonial role)

I know this thread is about Alves (and The Chunk's new found sensitivity) but for all the money at Chelsea, the problem of left back is their as much as anybody elses. If 'Baldy' does end up there in two seasons they will have had him, Del Horno, Bridge, Gallas, Ferreira and Carvalho all play there - maybe offer them Djimi?

Applying this logic, we might never have seen Ray Kennedy in midfield. Coaches, managers etc scout/see players who can do what they want iside their team system. If, and it is a big if, he signs it is because he will fit into how we play, the league we play in and he will add something to the squad we do not have. Also, he will fit within what ever budget we have.

See page 7 for 1st mention of VdV - but no Cherno Samba (as yet)

Excellent, we got to page before VdV was mentioned. FWIW, I'd be happy with Defoe - goalpoacher, greedy in the box, looking to kick on in his career and at the right age.

Walk-in baths in the dressing rooms, Stannah lifts to the top of the Centenary stand? Come on!!!

My view on the man - always thought he was the best of his generation, the World is now beginning to understand that too. Not a midfielder per se but a player that is excellent at any position and as such is likely to influence a game because he will be involved throughout. Other than my dad, not really one for heroes - but this bloke is the nearest thing to one - and Roy of the Rovers!!

He is what we need and we should try and get him but it would never happen. Proven at doing his job in our league, will be very motivated to say the least, be foolish not to try. I cannot stand the bloke as a person but I can see what he would add and the extra points we would gather from having him.

Keeping a player to score us goals without paying a big fee for him? How last century. If we are not buying a player from another country, with a big reputation, costing lost of money - well, we're sking and being badly managed. Doomed, I tell yer, we're all doomed.

Spurs are Spurs - flatter a bit and then fade away but pretty uneventful. Arsenal are the biggest one man team after Man U - and Wenger is a pr ick of late. Both to draw on Sunday with Henry pulling up lame would make my afternoon and then him playing total defensive football in the final because his one man is out.
