The View From Gate 17

Wish some of these would actually turn in to fact, starting to annoy me. I like that we are acting early so they are with the squad over summer and Pre season, but just announce if it’s true don’t let the media twist it!!

Having said all that about out squad, who on earth is making these decisions? Shouldn’t that be the managers choice, do we have a manager?

Surely Roman has to give RDM a chance, I mean he’s given a chance to a lot less! Maybe he’s already agreed it and these signings are a joint decision, if so great. But I don’t want a new manager to come in and inherit our owners squad and fall out with the players. We need a good man manager and RDM has proven he is just that.

Give him the job Roman and announce it now, the longer it goes on the worse it becomes for the club and the players, not to mention the fans.

With the likely addition of Hazard to our lineup, I’m struggling to see who RDM (hopefully) will pick as a starting 11.

For me the back 6 pick themselves.

Cech
Ivan-Cahill-Terry-Cole
Mikel

After that i don’t know, can’t leave frank out, but them rami has been one of our best players this season? For me Torres down the middle with Mata just behind. But we, the fans, have been screaming for width, so I’d like to see hazard on the right, and Marin on the left. The chances created for Torres from that should be frightening!

Obviously Rami can play out on the right, we have De Bruyne and I think Hazard can play out left too. Not to mention we have not sold Malouda or Studge yet?

We could have a serious counter attacking force with plenty of width and chance creation, I just don’t see the formation yet!

Maybe a style of 4-4-2?

Cech
Ivan-Cahill-Terry-Cole
Mikel-Frank
Hazard - - Marin
Mata
Torres

That would be my preference. Rami can slot in anyone amongst that of needed!

What do you think?

Apparently he is on his way to Chelsea to have a medial!

Follow follow follow, there’s was only two minutes to go, it was Torres’ goal that sent us out of control and put the barca out of Euro!

We were just pulling into Dover! Took us ages to get through the check and then had to wait an hour for the ferry! But the ferry was one of the most amazing parts of the trip, fantastic atmosphere starting from when someone put one step beyond on on the juke box when everyone was queuing for a beer!!

Hearing rumours that we have agreed personal terms with the Porto star. Not sure I want us to be spending almost £80m ona  buy out clause though, however him on the right, Marin on the left and Torres down the middle sounds incredible!!!

is a cock.

He needs to be replaced as soon as possible. Him and Platini.
