Rumour Mill

lol I'm just trolling, you shouldn't agree with me

Everything I said is true if we're honest.

I won't argue with that.
Anyway, here are Costa's highlights from our tie

Second leg

What the hell was Bastian doing, he got hit from behind, took a few steps and clutched his face

Looks all fair to me

It's not Schweini, it's Ribery.

And it's not his face but his neck, because that's where Costa hit him (as well as kneeing him in the butt)

Yes, I guess he would be appreciated at Chelsea

Welcome home, Dougie

You're right, it is Franck. Still looks like he gets his back to me, though.

I like his profile. I think he's going to be good, better than Caudrado. Def an improvement to the impotent Ramires.

According to Rob Beasley, We're selling Cech, starting at 10m pounds.

Real and PSG are leading the race to sign him.

Aké loaned to Reading

Apparently we're getting ready to sell Luis and Van Ginkel, too.

Kinky

Could you imagine a midfield of: Prime Cesc and Matic, and near potential RLC and Van Ginkel.

that would be amazing, and all demons of Mikel and Ramires would be long gone.

Pure fantasy I'm afraid

Saw that, couldn't be bothered moving it or commenting on your mistake.

You forgot the future of England, top lad McEachran.

I feel sorry for Van Ginkel, I do feel he is a capable midfielder in his own right but he's spent so much time on the sidelines this season before being thrown back in, unprepared, during important games and it seems to have shattered his confidence. He's looked a bit better in recent games but he really needs a season at a club willing to play him week in, week out in my opinion.

He should have gone to Ajax, tbh.

His talent is there for all to see, he's just got to play. I honestly would keep him around and loan him out again. Milan was the wrong place to send him, tbh.

Were he half as concerned with his football as he is about snapbacks, Nando's and his poptart [now ex-, I believe] girlfriend, he might have got on better the last few years.

Yes, injuries really have done him in. Both last year, when we were woefully threadbare in midfield and he could have really staked a claim if not for his early season-ender, and at Milan.

Yes, he should have done.

I'm hoping this happens as well. See no logic in flogging him off so quickly when he's still such an unknown quantity. The boy showed heaps of potential at Vitesse and getting shot of him when he's barely had a chance to show what he's capable of yet would be short-sighted insanity.

One thing I'd like to add, look at Ramsey, he had a lot of potential but was our for a large period of time through injury, it took him a few years but he is finally showing what a good player he is.

I'd love us to keep a hold of MVG and send him to Ajax or Vitesse next season.

If he can keep fit for a year, he'll be back playing well.

The Times says we're targeting Rob Green as Cech's replacement

We are linked to Andre Gomes from Valencia. I think this is quite realistic. Fits the profile of a Mou player.

He's English and uhhh, lives in London. He has experience, too.

Spoiler:

He seems like a really good place, let's hope we can swap him for Ramires or Mikel.
