Chill out mate. You seem to spend a lot of time defending players reasons for going to Chelsea,your names not Peter Kenyon is it?

Could do with a decent keeper, whats happened to Marcos who played last world cup he was decent for a brazilian keeper. Juan is s***, should have or Filipe(udinese) or Alex(psv) instead. Think Alves is better than Cicinho , and Rob Carlos has looked on his last legs lately. Suprised Alex(Fenerbache) isn't in the squad he's pretty popular in Brazil. Don't rate Robinho myself. I thought Baiano(Celta) had done quite well this season and should have been in with a chance.

How about his team,Ballack is a selfish player who cares more about how he is doing than his team. If i was German I honestly think that playing for Bayern in the Bundesliga would be great. Your right not every player joining Chelsea is a mercenary, i actually don't think many of their squad are except maybe Crespo. Ballack however would not be going to Chelsea if they were not offering him such high wages.

Yeah coz chelsea have one loads more than Bayern haven't they. Ballack is a top player but he only gives a s*** about himself.

I quite like Poulsen but he's too good to be a back up. Anyway we should keep Didi as long as possible even if it just to bring him on in finals, always manages to steady us- pure class he is.

Nasri will be a quality player, he's not a left winger though - not even left footed. He's an attacking midfielder in the Aimar mould, would be a good signing.

I' ve always thought Bellamy was ace, and he's better than Rooney

...they are similar in as far as they both play for Chelsea and are therefore both c****.

Carra is having a go at a bit of punditry on sky one at the mo.

Don't confuse a busy keeper with a good keeper. He always looks pretty dodgy to me and while he has to make a lot of saves his positioning ,command of area and handling have to be questioned.

Think he'd cost quite a bit now, shame 'cause he looks pretty special and is lightning quick. We did try to get him from Leeds in a sort of triple deal with Carson and Walton but obviously that didn't happen.

One of the key players in keeping pompey up imo. He had all but signed for Fulham back in Jan and hadn't played as often under Perrin(sp). I think he'd ve a good signing for us but won't be as cheap as he was then, now that portsmouth have stayed up and seem to have and endless supply of money to buy spurs reserve team.

Milner is a good player but i see him more as an attacking central player than winger,would rather players with more pace to play on the flanks.

JLloyd is s***, i'd have Baines(wigan) or Taylor(porstmouth) . Arca(sunderland) and Gardner(Bolton) are also better left backs than Samuel. Momo has definately got to be in there.

England will have problems if Sven is his usual spineless self and takes Ashley Cole,Rooney,Owen and Sol (have i missed anyone cause Sven won't). None of these players have played enough football , and while you could risk taking one taking them all isn't really a good idea.

agreed until Woolnough ffs he's an absolute c***.

Didn't do a great job and Birmingham though did he. Heskey is the sort of player every manager looks at thinking they can probably turn him into the player his attributes suggest he could be, the thing is they probably can't.

Yes it's the D'allesandro and he's played pretty well for Portsmouth imo.

I'm one of Dudeks biggest critics, but i thought he did very well last night. True,both Boruc and that West Brom keeper are s***

and could have done his groin in, perhaps thats the reason he doesn't often go full tilt.

No definately banned.

Looked a tough game for our lads last night, they dominated us physically and our attacking players didn't get much chance to shine. Thought Hobbs was our MOM and Roque did well when he came on although he did make a mistake for the second goal when he chested it across the box. Don't really mind Hammil getting a bit upset he's still a kid ffs and was frustrated when he got taken off, prefer a player to have a bit of passion.Although he didn't get many chances last night thought Linfield showed some good touches and worked hard. Think the coaches should have told Roberts to stop booting the ball every time he got it. He has quite a big kick but it constantly gave possesion back to City. Well done to the lads, FA youth cup winners 2006.

Is Agger fit? Could we play one of the three at the back variations, JAR as wing back etc. We haven't played three at the back before against Chelsea but they will probably use their diamond formation today which means they have a lot less width and so shouldn't expose us defensively down the flanks.
