Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

              I think so too, the fact that song curently plays at CB worries because it's not his position and i would have loved to seem him play more regurly as a CDM
              but for the CB , Sandro will find a solution and a good one !

      That's just your prejudice against his rough-looking style. He's a messi in disguise. But seriously he is actually quite good.

    I want to get Mata in, and there's probably no other way to get him in without downgrading Tevez. So the options are.
    A) Tevez and Michu ➡ Mata and Crouch (-4)
    B) Tevez and Michu ➡ Mata and Kone (-4)
    C)(a) Wait for the UCL and then do A
    C)(b) Wait for the CL and then do B
    D) Don't do anything.

    Thanks.

    Bale or Mata? Mata has the form, Bale has the fixtures.

      Bale has the form too. Though Mata's too tempting.

        Did you see him? I don't know whether he broke his nose or it's a camouflage skin-coloured plaster...he looked like his eyes were about a mile apart...bizarre!

    Captained Giroud thinking he would score a hattrick against Norwich... Epic fail...

    Should I trust him and captain him again against QPR...

    Rest of the team:

    Begovic (Foster)
    Wilson Baines Rafael (Demel Fonte)
    Mata Hazard Bale Cazorla (Routledge)
