[flyin']

Yes, but isn't it next next Wednesday/Thursday (I mean not tomorrow).

Btw, it'll be Real/Bayern and some other...

 

[reynaldo]

i wonder if they will show Milan again this season on SBS.. or will the REALMADRID/JUVENTUS/MANUTD bias continue?...

after all, they are the european champions...

Yeah.. but Milan's playing Sparta Prague or Dynamo Kiev or Lokomotive Moscow..(I forgot) teams most people (myself included) know next to nothing about, so I think SBS will be going for a more evenly matched contest

Best player in england at moment?
>>Henry
btw... why doesnt any club show interest in Shaun Wright Phillips (Man City?)

 

[...]

yea, Henry is the best player in england atm...

ah..Walter Smith..he better be as effective as Quizoerz


hmmm...

man, where are they gonna play him, theres hardly any room in the mid/forwards department.

they will probably play him on the right wing position

so they will have duff and robben running down the line and stuff...hmm..not bad

 

[flyin']

Robben's should be used as a Right Flanker or Duff-backup.

I wanna see Wes Brown do anothe classic slip when he's the last defender. Just don't get sick of seeing that!

 

[RUB!X]

yeah that would be gr8, that way ARSENAL can move further in front...
if only we could beat spanish teams...

 

[reynaldo]

Arjen Robben is a left wing just like Reyes but i think he would be more useful in the centre than Duff

Geremi---Makelele(Lampard)---Robben---Duff
---------Mutu-----------------------Crespo---------

within a couple years Robben could ease into to the gap behind Mutu-Crespo as a trequartista - ie playmaker - and maybe even form a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-3 (the latter of which i wouldn't advise - simply because it is Inter's current formation )

by the time he establishes himself in this team he will be one of the world's best players (as he does in CM )

What's this about PSV becoming Chelsea's 'nursery club' though? Does this mean Kezmann will be heading to Chelsea sooner or later rather than Man U as well?

Bring them to PSV (funded by Chelsea), after a few years transferred to Chelsea.

Chelsea get first refusal/option on each PSV player that goes up for sale or a transfer negotiated. The first of this agreement is Robben, to be followed by Santos defender Alex(who will go to Chelsea in 2 years)

So, if Chelsea decide they want even more strikers to put on the bench, they can call up PSV and Kezman is as good as theirs, unless Man Utd put in a much better offer than Chelsea.. but either way Chelsea get the first turn in negotiations, and if that fails then other clubs can try negotiate..

 

[flyin']

I just remembered something. PSV have one the ECL. Arsenal haven't.

 

[RUB!X]

there is no need to bring that up...
Arsenal will win ecl!
