MCGamma...Julian was an absolute nutter wasn't he?Apparently he still works at Upton Park in some capacity. Reminds me of a typical phnarr headline The Sun carried when he got injured and was due to miss an England game - just a picture of his bandaged and iced-up leg with the headline 'SWOLLEN DIC KS OUT!'. Classic!
Yeah JBone I'd kill to be there. Unbelievable. I know I'll get loads of texts from the boys at the game taking the mick coz I'm not there.
As for the trades....Interesting that Jose's moved SWP inside, isn't it? He's working better there and deserves more time (it sure worked for Essien, Drogs etc). Richards or Alves are a must for RB, with Ferriera OK as back up (or Diarra at a push, although I'd rather see him and Essien stary in midfield - interesting debate on that topic on cfc-net, by the way). Geremi can go and I'm not fussed about getting Johnson back. Boulahrouz doesn't seem to be well liked by Jose, and agree Alex looks a better option. I think Sheva and Ballack will both stay, but don't expect to see Crespo back (not really bothered either). Like you I'm a fan of the kids. Mikel looks truly awesome, and I'd definitely try out Sahar (Jose has said he'll give him a run).
Otherwise for me it's just a wish to have Joey Cole and Robben regularly fit. With them on song it's a simply great side. CJ
