yes,he was very good.I'm not sure,but I remember Burke once said that he is a Bayern player.
IMO,Arsen Wenger is too stupid.I don't understand why he didn't use neither Bergkamp nor Reyes.
and,do you know,what's up for Carvalho?
Reyes injured and recovered but not ready for the game,Carvalho banned and need to pay 200.000 Euros,because of the confrontation with Mourinho.

Speaking of Chelsea, it reminds me of Inter all of a sudden.

You're forgetting Gudjohnsen who has been of great value to Chelsea over the last two or three years. Mourinho basically deploys a 4-2-3-1 system with Makelele anchoring, Lampard next to him, two of Robben, Duff, SWP and Cole in wide positions and Gudjohnsen behind the lone striker.
Very true. However, Mourinho's often played Gudjohnson as lone striker, with three out and out midfielders behind him. Maybe with Crespo available to him now, he won't bother with that much, but it's an option. If Essien's going to break into the team immediately, Lampard's place seems the least secure. His form is supposed to be rather poor. I can't see that lasting though. Makelele's no spring chicken, so maybe he'll go long term.

Agree about switching back to 4-4-2. The 4-3-3/4-5-1 is useful for tightening things up late in a game and hitting on the counter with the likes of Giggs, Park and/or Ronaldo wide though. It's a pretty decent alternative and Man Utd certainly have the players to make it work but 4-4-2 is a better fit.
It's being played right now because Ronaldo wasn't fit. With him injured (and Giggs for that matter, United were down to Fletcher and Miller as their options on the right for a 4-4-2. Neither looks comfortable on the wing. The three-pronged attack seemed far more sensible for the short term. I agree though that with Ronaldo, Giggs, Park, Rooney and Van Nistelrooij all fit, it'd be daft to play only three attackers.

Tottenham are a very capable side with a good mix of experience and youth. Robinson, Davids and Keane have been around for quite some time and then there's the young guns such as Michael Dawson, Michael Carrick, Wayne Routledge and of course Jermain Defoe. I'm backing Martin Jol's team to finish in the top five.

Btw, did anyone see Defoe's goal against Middlesbrough? What a strike!

Do you think they'll win anything? I suppose the European Super Cup is a possibility...
Spurs ahve some quality players - four excellent strikers (Defoe and Keane in particular, though the don't combine brilliantly), a glut of good midfielders (including Davids!), and a solid keeper. Still a bit lightweight at the back though. ing is decent, and they seem to have a new right back who might be up to the job, but they could certainly do with another centre half.

How long is Ledley King out for? If he can stay fit and find some form when he returns I think he'll form a very good central defensive partnership with Michael Dawson. Another CB for squad depth wouldn't hurt though.

They got Dawson? When did that happen? I haven't seen him play, but I've heard good things.

Ferrari agrees Everton transfer Tuesday 23 August, 2005

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matteo Ferrari’s short-lived experience with Roma has come to a bitter end after his agent announced an imminent switch to Everton.

“Matteo did not train with the squad on Tuesday and the time has come to sign with Everton,” Giovanni Corci told Radio Incontro this evening. “It will be a loan move with the option to buy at the end of the season for an agreed sum of around £3.7m.”


The Italian international has never really settled in at the Stadio Olimpico and was often singled out by fans following his mistakes over the last season.


25-year-old defender Ferrari joined Roma from Parma in the summer of 2004, but for some time his future at the club has been in serious doubt and the arrival of Sami Kuffour has pushed him further on to the sidelines.


“The negotiations with Everton were run by a bunch of amateurs,” snapped Ferrari’s agent in a final sideswipe at the Giallorossi directors.


The former Inter man has not been able to replicate the form that made him a key figure of the Under-21 international scene, nonetheless managing 10 caps with the senior Azzurri squad.

Let's see wad happens if Mourinho were to leave the club.
He won't.He can get all the money he want,there.Why would he leave such club where he gets all the monetary capabilities he needs!
And if the miracle happens and Mourinho leaves,Abramovich can bring whoever he wants ,even Capello(who said that he would never coach us but for a solid ammount he moved here).

Does that mean that Madrid had to win the Liga over the past years? Why didn't they then?

Thing is, Chelsea have gathered 6 points in their first two games and the maximum they deserve was 2 points, are the 4 points achieved a reward for the money they spent? Come on, I thought you were smarter than that.

According to giovanotti the 6 points are not luck, they deserved them for the money they paid. It is as if one buys goals :D
