He didn't go out on loan, I think he's just been training in the first team as a backup player this season.

Chelsea changed their logo, and it hasn't done them any harm.

I like going all European with the meaningful stars, but I'd prefer something closer to our current logo.

Obviously some of the best defenders in the last few decades in their peak are better than Phil Jones now.

If he becomes a world-class player who can play defensive midfield, centre-back and right-back, then yeah.

Glad Dortmund won, Real Madrid have been dragged kicking and screaming this far in the competition by terrible refereeing and Cristiano Ronaldo. Without Ronaldo, Galatasaray would have had them ffs. Hope Dortmund win in Madrid just to make the point.

Seems abit excessive, when you consider that Barton got 12 match ban for 3 counts of violent conduct. Ah well, wouldn't surprise me if he was gone in the summer anyway.

Suarez has more than enough counts on his rap sheet.

Wolfsburg are one of the 2 richest clubs in germany with the VW backing behind them.

That's why I said I don't know, I didn't know the extent of their backing. Do you think the point about Dortmund being able to reinvest is valid? Who would you buy with the money if you were the manager?

Up until last season, Man City's transfer policy has been all about strengthening themselves at the expense of their rivals- if you've got the money, it's an excellent way of doing business. When they were a lower mid-table side who were trying to put themselves on the map, they brought in a big name to announce themselves (Robinho) and then players from bigger clubs they could now afford the wages of (Wayne Bridge, Craig Bellamy and Nigel De Jong). The next summer, they went after players from the clubs that were chasing after that Champion's League spot at the time (Aston Villa and Everton, which is why TS's points are valid) but they were the only club of the three that could offer top-level wages. As a result, City brought in Lescott, Barry and Given, whilst also taking advantage of turmoil at Arsenal to get Toure and Adebayor. They also got Tevez and Santa Cruz, both in the form of their lives and both players who were available to only a few clubs.

Once they got into the Champion's League places, they then started to branch out to the bigger clubs of Europe that weren't going to win any trophies, so over the next two seasons they got the likes of David Silva from Valencia, Sergio Aguero from Atletico Madrid, James Milner from Aston Villa, Edin Dzeko from Wolfsburg etc. The problem is that when they should have kicking on with his policy and going after the likes of Hazard, Van Persie and co, for whatever reason, they fluffed this summer's transfer dealings and brought in substandard players. They almost reverted to their 2008/9 strategy by bringing in players like Scott Sinclair, Jack Rodwell and Javi Garcia, which would have been headline news five years ago.

There is also another factor that's being missed here- Everton have/always seem to be in financial turmoil and Aston Villa were actively trying to cut down their expenditure, so they have been using the money from these transfers to put into infrastructure. I don't know about Wolfsburg, but Atletico Madrid and Valencia are in a fuckton of debt too. City's transfer policy is no different from Chelsea's under Abrahmovich in the first few years, and the effects only really dependent on the players people buy with the money they get. The problem with Arsenal isn't that they lost Adebayor, it's that they didn't replace him with Falcao or Hulk, for example. Once City give clubs money for transfer fees, how they use it to remain competitive is their own prerogative and it's the same with Dortmund. Dortmund are now perceived as one of the top clubs in Europe, with an amazing stadium and reputation for playing brilliant football- and now Klopp, one of the best managers in Europe, has £34m to spend on his squad. How do you know he won't manage to make Dortmund even stronger than it is now?

Appeal to overturn Giroud's red card has been rejected, don't see how it was any different to Kompany's red card against us that was overturned. FA baffle me sometimes.

I don't think Giroud's tackle was particularly bad, but I suppose you could argue he could have done some damage and that he lost control of his body in a manner that could have caused injury, which are both valid reasons for not overturning the decision. He's a tad unlucky, but it seems understandable.

He also said Cristiano Ronaldo was going to be the world's best player, so it's not all guff. Fergie sees him in training every day.

Happy to see Carrick get the recognition he deserves, but once again, massively over-rating the English players by having Welbeck and Wilshere nominated ahead of Rafael and Nastasic.

Huth, Fellaini, Wilkinson, Cabaye, Rooney off the top of my head.

He is a truly terrible referee.

Rooney's a bigger prick, but when was the last time he dealt out a horror challenge like Luiz?

Short of Suarez and M'Bia, is there a player more deserving of a two-footed challenge on them in the league in terms of dishing out horror tackles and elbows? Maybe one of the faceless midfield engines at Stoke?

Reading have been fairly defensive this season, with his side having very little possession and little pressing.

Hard to say, but I reckon he may done well for avoiding a Derby/Sunderland points tally. There seems to very little PL quality in that squad.

True, but in the championship they were very attacking. They've been defensive more out of necessity than tactical strength, and I think he was hoping his attacking players would adapt better to the top flight a la Swansea.

I like him, he's very personable, and he's a fan of teams that set up to attack, hence the high-scoring games at Reading this season. The problem is that if I'm not mistaken he was already internally involved with the club before he got the manager's role, so Leeds' dressing room will be the first time he'll have to win over a group of players.

With Scholes retiring and Anderson probably being sold, it could be conceivable that Fergie has talked to Rooney about being that creative hub in midfield.

Yeah, but it's the airport packing that is influencing their decision

In the unlikely event we do actually complete this mooted transfer, we rename this thread 'Old Trafford Lounge now featuring Falcao'.

Not cheap, it's just more economical. You're telling me you've never driven somewhere in the same car with your mates even though you'll all got separate cars?
