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. Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Hazard's deal in detail http://www.goal.com/en-g...es-him-chelseas-highest
I'm trying to imagine next season"s EPL being a 5 horse race - Utd, City, Chelsea & a revamped Arsenal & Kop all vying for Top spot. It will be orgasmic for fans!!! BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

Meanwhile.... http://soccernet.espn.go...dgers---reports?cc=3888
So does this mean Brendan will transfer the passing philosophy to the Kop? Carrol would be the biggest loser... BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

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. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

..@smano i hear what you saying but surely the tide has been changing for some-time and to be honest wages aside rumour has it if Fergie wins the 20th title then he will call it a day and now what will happen to Man U? if what happened to Spurs is anything to go by then players are cautious. Fergie will always be an impossible act to follow and no 21 years old wants to be faced with that uncertainity.
I,m sure Hazard was attracted by the stability at Chelsea which has had "only" five managers in the last five years! Right? Which means at this rate he'd expect to have been managed by "only" 12 managers by the time he attains Drogba's age! Does he even know who will be managing him come August? It's all about the mulla. Don't kid yourself! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

man-u are the new pensioners of english football. while the likes of chelsea are getting rid of their older players, and bringing on-board 21 year olds, man-u are re-signing 38 year old geezers.

It's only that it has never been made public! SAF is not just your ordinary Manager, he commands respect from the Board, fans, Media, Players and the FA....his departure from the club will have an impact on Man Utd regardless of who comes in (especially if he's not British). Whoever comes in will always be compared to SAF and might not even be there for more than 2 seasons. Besides that the club will also have to spend a lot of money to secure a top Manager especially if they are already in another club...at the moment hata Wenger earns more than SAF yet he's not won anything since 2005. I think SAF wants someone who has worked for/with Man Utd before to replace him, probably Solskjaer. Man Utd do not have rich oil owners so they need such sponsorship deals to survive (same goes for Arsenal). http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17116060

A surprise coming up from Fergie in the transfer market. You wont see this one coming. I can't say more. I need to place some bets with some bookie first! I might just get 50 to 1 on this one!

@ Dossy7......I believe Wenger is still in the market for more players although most potential targets have decided to postpone any transfer business till after the Euros. I don't think we can compete with Chelsea and Man City in the transfer market. There are reports linking Arsenal to Barca's Afellay, Cuenca, Dempsey, Doumbia, Kalou, De Jong, M'Villa (who might miss the Euros) , Giroud, Ahmedov (never heard of him) and even Real's Nuri Sahin. It seems Le Prof wants a DM and CAM or another striker, we might end up signing players no one has ever heard of and there's also the possibility of not signing anyone else.
As for the other clubs its more or less the same story, its being reported that Man City are about to sign Bilbao's defender Javi Martinez. They are also interested in Inter's Sneijder and of course RVP. Porto's Hulk has already expressed he 's desire to leave with Chelsea as his likeliest destination. Fulham's Dembele is also interested in a move to Stamford Bridge according to the agent.
As for Man Utd, it doesn't get easier for them in the transfer market. They had been linked with a move for Valencia's Jordi Alba but Barcelona are now the favourites for the Spaniards's signature. They've made inquiries for Modric, Tiote and Baines but SAF has refused to meet their valuations. They are also interested in Ghana's Kwadwo Asamoah but its being reported that Juventus are scheduled to open talks with the player. Kagawa's transfer hit a snag after he was denied a work permit.....apparently he has played in less than 75% of internationals in the past three years. Man Utd will of course appeal the decision and call for a permit on the grounds of 'exceptional talent', Arsenal did the same thing last season with Miyaichi. Nani is also pondering exit from the club despite being offered a new contract.
On a more positive note, the red devils look like the favourites to sign Crewe Alexandra's Nick Powell though I've never seen him play before.......he's in very high demand, Arsenal and Chelsea were also interested. Benfica's Gaitan is also an option for SAF.

Benfica's Gaitan is also an option for SAF. I saw him in the highlights of the match that saw Crew qualify to the championship - he scored a wonder goal, set up his own volley like the way Adebayor did against Spurs sometime back when he was still a gooner - just seasrch for it on Youtube. Other than that I haven't seen him play but he comes highly rated and such a signing should compensate for losing Pogba. BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

Man U have finally captured Kagawa. A very good signing for them in the AM position. http://uk.eurosport.yaho...nnounce-kagawa-deal.htmlWhen I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty
of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator.
