The FOOTBALL thread

I don't think Silva will be leaving. It says His lawyer announced his happy at City or something close to that.

If so, then Higuain will be swaped for Silva, and I think It was his agent who announced that, not lawyer

I would prefer to leave City if I was Silva, because City's roster is combined by HUGE names of football players and I wouldn't know what a new year would bring me. A good player like Silva should not make the bench. Same for Balotelli, De Jong, Kolarov, Dzeko and more.

Since when Silva is a bench player?

So, AVB has gone to Spurs. He's got a chance to prove that the hype about him before he joined Chelsea was for good reason.

I feel he was unfairly treated at Chelsea. The amount of expectation put on him was ridiculous... but then again we are talking about Roman Abramovich, the same man who sacked Jose Mourinho despite the fact that he led Chelsea to the Premier League title the very same year.

He was brought to the club with the intention of shaping Chelsea's future team. But as soon as he left out the likes of Terry (who was still recovering from his injury and not fully fit), Lampard and Cole for a couple of games, they started kicking off and soon enough all the players were against him. He only had 8 months before they got rid of him, and then the club decided to appoint Di Matteo who just went straight back to the old setup. Sure, it's paid off hugely, but the likes of Lampard aren't going to be around forever. Not to mention Drogba's now gone, which is going to be a massive gap in that Chelsea squad.

I guess time, the players' attitude towards him and the talent they can bring in and keep a hold of will tell whether it was the right choice to go with AVB. A lot of Spurs fans aren't happy.

I bet AVB will become active in players market pretty soon.

You can have two losses out of two games ( no matter if the predictions were you being champion at the end of the season either way ) and Abe that twat will kick you out either way

Kalou and Bosingwa left Chelsea, we'll see which clubs will take them, most likely Bosingwa will quit.

Silva started almost every game, if not, there was a good excuse.

So, FIFA ranking table was recently updated and Brazil fell out of top 10, and I guess It has never happend. England climbed to 4th spot and Italy 6th. Currently TOP 3: Spain, Germany, Uruguay.

[Dolfagr]

Damn Greece is 12th?! We're even just a bit far from Brazil..

[Alsatian]

England rose to fourth? :trust: I mean, I'm not going to complain, but... why?

[Stefanrsb]

Serbia fell at 37th... We we're 12th before the SA10...

[Sawyer]

I can't even believe it.. 12th? Well, the 4 defensive players are 12th. Great defence is all Greece has.
