It's not a wheat beer, though.

1. Liverpool Don't give a crap about the rest.

If Napoli are negotiating with us for Dossena, wouldn't that leave us a little light on the left, what with Aurelio injured?

I was thinking the same thing myself.

Sneijder is a great player, but he doesn't play in the same position as Alonso, so that means that Rafa will still need to find a replacement for him.

Nothing to do with getting deals done quickly and early, and all to do with Man City being able and willing to pay substantially above market value.

Our espresso machine at work stopped working last week, and while its away being repaired I've had to resort to drinking the instant variety. Vile stuff. No one should be made to work under such inhumane conditions.

Exactly. Besides, not many top class managers around.

It's vile.

I didn't. He just kept running with the ball until he lost it. And yes, Lucas is shit.

Isn't Alonso suspended?

Ranieri signed Makelele. Always had a lot of time for Quaresma, since players of his talent don't come around very often. His problem, however, is that he does not possess the strength of character to complement his talent. He failed in Barcelona, and he failed in Italy. Keep in mind that just because its a loan deal does not mean that he didn't cost Chelsea anything - they probably still paid a nice fee to take him on loan.

Not a bad option, actually. Great player if he could adapt to the Premiership, and our Argentinean players and staff would no doubt help him settle.

Hiddink is clearly sucking up to his future captain.

Must be crap then.
