Can totally see it now, he'll move to PSG in the final seconds of the window with us of course having no time to replace him.

Most people thought the same thing the last 2 times we've played them

Must be that line getting in the way.

Good for him!

Is this the new way of doing signings? Having deals 'in place' without official announcements. I wouldnt be sure we've gotten either of Cabella and De Jong until they hold up the black and white shirt.

Great player but 40M is a bit too much for him imo. As someone said before I dont think he's the kind of midfielder they need.

He'd probably play backup/plan B to Remy, till the summer anyway. Cant see us switching to 442 or dropping either of Gouffran or Sissoko in their current form.

Didnt we know that already? The only way we'll try and bring it forward is if there's a situation with Cabaye. Come to think of it we may not even then, with a mid table position virtually guaranteed.

Could we really be interested in Zouma? What a signing that would be. Surely bigger clubs will be interested though.

Rafael's tackle was shocking, Vidic's red harsh. Justice done on the whole. Man Utd would argue otherwise of course as Vidic is a far more important player.

Amongst all the fascinating statistics I'd just like to add something immature and stupid. It kind of makes me sad every time another game starts with Ben Arfa, all the fun and entertainment we miss out on. Isn't football supposed to be fun in the end? Especially a club like ours which isnt winning anything. Completely irrelevant in the modern game I know

I certainly hope that isnt the plan. Because while Anita is coming along nicely, he's nowhere near Cabaye's level at the moment. Seems a different type of player too.

Aye, Sissoko's improved his end product over the last few games. Cant see Pardew dropping him or Gouffran at the minute.

Loving this at Stamford Bridge. Hope they get stuffed by 5 or 6

If this was the first time he'd done it I'd agree with you. Its not though, nor the last Im sure.

You sound surprised.

Was he playing in that no. 10 role yesterday? Couldnt watch the game. When I've watched him play in that position I've thought he's a bit wasted there. He's one of those players you want in the thick of things, and we've often missed his quality in passing bringing the ball forward when he's playing further upfront himself. Fair play if he's grown into the role though, with Anita and Tiote in good form it takes a lot of the pressure off him.

Now that Debuchy will be back I hope Mapou takes his place in the centre.

I know I know. Everybody knows that. And thats just it, everybody knows it. So why go out and say it every other week? He pretty much advertises his players for sale. Its maddening.

Arsenal dont need him. Man Utd on the other hand desperately need a player like him.

Dont you worry, Pards is at it again. "Everybody is for sale at some price" How many managers bloody talk like that?

Its infuriating, even when we need a goal we bring him on too late. I think his days here are numbered, its an utterly depressing thought

Cant really blame Williamson for the goal, hopefully it wont shake his confidence too much.
