Don't forget about Bojan, who once played for Barcelona is playing for Stoke as well. A dangerous forward too.

Yeah, true also. Or maybe they see these small club as a stepping stone for them to hop into a well organized/ better club in 2 years time or so? Yes that could upset the club they are about to sign, but that's the reality. The club should be grateful that a star that once played for a CL club would go to relatively small clubs to share their experience.

Yup yup, many players with big ambition are like that.

Yeah, with their situation, they had to resort to any opportunity given to them. Put up a gamble like what Leeds did last time.

We just go with the flow only la. Media wants to make it a hype ma. We let them hype abit lo. Haha, no point thinking if we are going to bring Messi in. A team cannot have two creative player. See Real Madrid, Benzema and Ronaldo furious on Bale for being too selfish.

I was all the time standing by Lampard but this is really out of my expectation. Now they say he never went there for starting season of MLS, instead he will join MLS on July 1 Lampard oh Lampard, you are making yourself look bad there. Even as a support and a role model since early days, I do not think I can take this excuse.

In other news, Valdes confirmed for Man Utd and Shaqiri goes to Inter on loan deal until the end of the season, but with the obligation to make it permanent in the summer.

30m come knocking? World Cup winner but warming the bench most of the time, only get introduced during second half, and it's not even up to standard, I'd sell him right away. How many opportunity you can get when some other club offers you a 30m for a non-consistent performer?

Anyone fancy seeing KDB in blue shirt again? Or can we knock on Ivan Perišić?

Like Aaron Lennon. That fella now no more sound edi.

Brian, here's your answer.

Cannot let him settle down there! He must come back. Then we have Thorgan on right, Eden on right!

The more people we bring in, the less chance for our academy player will have their chance to step up and shine in blue shirt. If Schurrle does leave for 30m, I reckon we don't sign anyone. Just get someone from our academy or recall back some of the loanee we have outside.

Our depth of squad is so much better compared to other clubs and yet we choose to sign instead of use our resources. It's like Dubai kept on buying petroleum when they are the richest oil based country.

And I benched Fonte and Clyne in my FPL. OH WAI LAAAA?

Okay I feel better now.

Honestly didn't see that coming. I expect Soton gonna struggle, given that the game is playing in Old Trafford. But they just prove to the pundits they are capable of being one of the best this season; putting Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham to shame.

Can't wait this to be happen! Finally my words are heard!

Maybe the lion belongs to the wild. We can only watch it from far. No point taming him.

IMO can tire them during the first half with Ramires pair with Fabregas, Hazard and Matic on midfield. Second half introduce Oscar for Ramires to open up their defense.

This is the kind of Oscar I am looking forward to watch. Not afraid of testing his luck outside 12 yard box. We have been missing that since Lampard is no longer in starting 11 for us. We sorely miss that and we definitely need that back. IMO both Costa goal is too easy for him. Swansea really hampered badly by the first goal. Sloppy defense. Schurrle goal can see Oscar abit disappointed for not picking up the hattrick hero.

Unrelated, just saw the second goal Torres scored. He made Pepe like a 10 year old kid.
