Very much this. I'm a Mancini 'fencer' - don't want him to leave but I won't lose sleep if he does. My biggest criticism of him is he's been here 3 and a half years now, apart from that great spell we had between April and December 2011, can we really say that Mancini has consistently got the...

Re: Audi Cup 2013 in Munich Have a look at flying to Zurich mate then getting a train over, not that far.

The End is Nigh

Re: Audi Cup 2013 in Munich It's my birthday on 30th July. Piss-up in the sunshine in Munich for a couple of days - I'll be having some of that thank you very much.

That would look quality. Might be an idea to get about 50 or so then hand them out in the boozers before the game to people sat in the top tier.

Jan Aage Fjortoft ‏@JanAageFjortoft 6m Breaking news at #sky right now! Dortmund have had another meeting with Dzeko! Getting closer! And Lewandowski is nearly in Munich

All this 'Cavani is just another Dzeko/won't fit our system' etc. stuff is a myth. The guy is an outstanding footballer, great technique, touch and control. Quick as well. There is no other (out and out) striker I would rather sign this summer.

Like Fabregas, Oezil would be the missing piece in our jigsaw. Perfect to be the most advanced player in a midfield 3 with Fernandinho and Yaya, with the ability to play wide if necessary. Dare I say it, similar to how Iniesta does at Barcelona. If there is *any* chance of getting him this...

You think it's too early for De Boer to be considered Tolm?

This is the point. If we fail to add real quality this summer we'll get left behind domestically and in Europe. Thankfully, Txiki looks to be getting his act together with the Fernandinho and Cavani pursuits.

Di Marzio is suggesting he stayed there in Jan due to Shakhtar's Champions League commitments, they only progressed at the last minute IIRC

Think a more cultured De Jong, who can actually contribute significantly going forward.

According to LC, Di Marzio calls these things with unerring accuracy. Was first to the Pep to Bayern story despite it being a Spanish (well, Catalan, but let's leave that for now) manager going to a German club. Fingers in a lot of pies with agents etc.

Completely different types of player, but I'd rather Fernandinho in our side than Willian at this point. Just what we need to upgrade the midfield, and that's from someone with major man love for Barry.

Nah that was Luiz Adriano. One of Shakhtar's 623 other Brazilians.

Has looked good when I've seen him, Castiel off here reckons he ran the show in both Chelsea games this season. Age doesn't bother me as Makélélé was 30 when he went to Chelsea in 2003. Not saying he's as good but he's in the same mould again from what I've seen. Link for you non-Twitterers <a...

It is a brave call but his record in Europe with Villarreal and Málaga is nothing short of outstanding given the lack of resources. Has generally favoured 4-2-2-2 which suits our current players, only his version is much, much more balanced than the one Mancini has used. Was on to a hiding to...

On the 08:20 from Birmingham International, get into Euston at 09:35. Drop our stuff off at our mate's in Kentish Town then over to Harrow, should be there for half 10. Potentially get a couple in JJ Moons before the game. Go back there after the game for a couple then out in Camden Town on the...
