PMLF Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 It's not the first time Felipão loses on penalties. Felipão's Grêmio lost on penalties vs Ajax in 1995 (Intercontinental Cup) although he did win on penalties some times too (ex: Libertadores final 1999 with Palmeiras vs Deportivo Cali). By the way, is Belletti going to join Benfica on loan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca69 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 A bit disappointed with last night tbh but oh well. Looking forward to the season but hope we can sign Robinho. Van Der Vaart has joined Madrid now, so hopefully they will let Robinho go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poyplemonkeys Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 By the way, is Belletti going to join Benfica on loan? I hope not. Getting mugged off by letting players go on loan until they have no transfer value is ****. Did it with Crespo too. Just sell him if you don't want him Scolari.

Poyplemonkeys Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 It seems so. We'll see when the real season starts. Drogba injured, Shevchenko recovering from an operation, Kaloooooooooou at the olympics. Means Anelka is guaranteed 2 starts according to Scolari, as that's when Drogba comes back from injury. Maybe we'll see Franco di Santo or Scott Sinclair on the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walrus Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Cracking result versus Milan - their reserves or not. Nice to see a good confidence booster from Anelka, even if he's still a bit of a knob for ECL. Anyhow, where's anyone found good to get the new black away shirt? Think it looks better than the home one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walrus Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Drogba's about to sign a new four year deal according to SSN and other sources. My view is **** him get rid, but I'm sure/know others will have a different viewpoint. He's too much of a ME player. get rid for £20 million and bring in a Villa or someone else. I know i'm not naming names but I'm drunk! Drogba has had his chance to commit. Too much like Adebayor, don't give it all that I love the club really and kiss the shirt, you don't. Take your money and be happy, don't patronise me with your false outpourings of emotion. We're not a tinpot republic here..... or are we? Anyway. Got a good feeling about this season. Got my Annual trip to Wigan already sorted. Plan to go to Liverpool away as well. And try for the local game against Pompey... or the miracle of Saints in the cup!!!! Any other games are bonuses. Although I'm trying to organise a work trip to co-incide with hull away!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted August 5, 2008 Administrators Share Posted August 5, 2008 We'd never get £20m for Drogba, nor find a replacement of his quality for a price less than we sold him for. Also, he's never kissed the shirt, but I don't think anyone can deny his commitment to the club since he's been here. In the biggest games, he's the one driving the team on, trying to get the fans up, he leads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the biggest games, he's the one driving the team on, trying to get the fans up, he leads. Can't deny his commitment to the club? Are you kidding? In the biggest games he drives the team on and leads, or as some might see it, another 'come and get me' call to AC Milan. Did a great job leading by example in the CL Final too by the way. He's wanted a move away for half of the season and maybe his performances on the pitch seem to indicate commitment but I'd wager it's more self-preservation than any true dedication to the club. I'm not knocking his performances at all, he's been a top player for the club, and almost single handedly dragged us through that semi-final against Liverpool. However it's been clear for a while he wanted to leave the club, and now suddenly he's being offered more money he's committed again. We can look to Drogba for many things, goals, performances and perhaps leadership, but commitment I think we'll struggle to find. I seem to have a problem with using commas way too much and stretching sentences out too far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deez0r Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 So pre-season done and dusted, having watched a few games and missed a few the team I would go with to start the season would be: GK: Cech DR: Essien DL: Cole DC: Ricky DC: Terry MC: Ballack MC: Deco MC: Lampard AMR: Joey AML: Malouda ST: Anelka Thats how I would start bearing in mind some injuries. Midfield is the only place I am not sure what Scolari is planning. Perhaps dropping Malouda out and putting Paulo in and moving Essien into the midfield, Kalou close to the starting line up as hes had a very good pre season as well. What do you guys think Scolari will start with? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
