@Shaun_Payne_7 I've thought the same. Carrick was never a permanent solution, I thought Anderson could be. All that's missing bar a LB.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

Vitor Gomes is a possible target, Sousa has scouted him for a couple of months. Could be the answer at RB for Chelsea.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

@CarloFan Spurs lack the attacking depth to keep a consistent goal threat. AFC losing Gervinho will be a blow. It's early but I'd expect so.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

@Shaun_Payne_7 Just not had much time for tweeting. I see that CM problem has cropped up, at least De Gea's getting a bit of peace though.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

@dmf180593 Alexis Sanchez, both Chilean. Comparisons will be inevitable I think.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

@Galsonfire Alvaro Pereira's agent said that Chelsea are still at the table, chance that could happen. Juan Vargas is available as well.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

@Will_Lumb Bit early. Belgian press reported a scouting interest in Biglia and the Brazilian press said MUFC wanted Sandro. Bit early.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

He is a name to remember, perfect age to move to Europe. Has a build not dis-similiar to AS, potential star striker. DeLa gets another gem.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

Napoli have won the race to sign Eduardo Vargas despite Chelsea and PL interest. Jorge Alvial worked on him for months for CFC.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

@1cornishblue Roman's sacked Ranieri/Ancelotti/Mou, every other sacking was on De Vissers word. All 3 of those coaches got at least 2 years.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

@OhOh255 Emenalo wanted to sell Bosingwa and buy Inkoom. I'd assume AVB said no, De Visser is the stumbling block to reform.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

The overhaul will still happen, over the next to windows I would expect 8 out minimum with 7-9 coming in. Expecting 2 signings in Jan.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

CFC were right to be cautious in the summer, if they sold 7 players that won them the league and it didn't work out they would be crucified.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

There is not a chance Torres leaves Chelsea, the investment is over 5 years not 12 months.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

He has deliberately exposed players, like Alex/Anelka/Malouda, to his system exposing flaws. He's got more license to overhaul than in July.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

The reason AVB did not sign or sell more players in the summer was down to the clubs hesitance to completely back him...

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

@CarloFan If City get their pen and kept their patience they would have won. Drogba has had false praise and NUFC unlucky, hardly convincing

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

Drogba and Kalou have until the summer with Lampard and Malouda's contracts run until the 2013 summer. Can't expect titles from them.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

Torres has a £190k per week contract with 4 years left to run as well as costing £50m. He is still at the centre of the clubs future.

[Jamie Halden @Haldenator]

Saying all of that, this season is all about squad assessment and exposing the old players to AVB's system, still a long term project.
