Someone explain........

No, the highest we can hope for is 4th. We won't finish ahead of the Manchester clubs, and will only finish above Chelsea if they have a massive collapse.

"I wonder will we have another statement from Usmanov and Red & White Holdings in the next day or so?"

Of course. They won't miss the chance to stick the boot in.

I am absolute convinced he will.

Lex, call me a pessimistic all you like, but I was never, ever confident we would be signing Sahin. We spent far too long on him, coupled with the fact Mourinho preferred him to go to Rodgers' club, tripled with the fact we are just so tight with our money, there was always a chance the deal would fall through.

A ray of light..?

Barcelona only ever have small first team squads too.

"Hello there. My name is Alisher Usmanov, all-round cuddly guy and humanitarian. I am sooooo angry right now. If I was in charge I would spend trillions on all those sexy players you like......."

If Pod or Giroud gets injured then Walcott and Gervinho start on the wings which is more concerning than our midfield!
