Seems the Mourinho formation is coming to an end at Chelsea. So with internationals Mata, Hazard and Marin on the line up, not forgetting Ramires, Lampard, Obi Mikel, Meireles on the side, how do you think Chelsea will line up? My guess is they'll have to adopt a totally new formation, one that will try get the best out of Torres. Kagawa to Man U is good, having gone through the Bundesliga. SAF could partner Kagawa and Carrick in midfield, have Nani and Valencia on the wings, and play Young in the hole behind Rooney or partner Rooney with Welbeck. That's still a good attacking lineup, though it doesn't seem illustrious compared to Chelsea or City.

i beg to differ. i think it will be a 3 horse race in order of likelyhood to win man-city, chelsea and man-u. punda will hustle for 4th

Paul Scholes puts pen to paper. At least one more year of magic.

As others look at the birth cirtificate, I prefer to look at "returns" on the field. Still one of the top mid fielders in the EPL. So I'll take the extra year.

Ben Amos gets a three year deal. There is promise in the lad.

I'm sure the board/management has been working on a succession plan for years. It's only that it has never been made public!

Look at exploits on the field not date of birth on the birth certificate. I thought this was common sense!!!
