Well, it seems the big clubs will be attempting to overthrow UEFA's "strict" ruling, though I think this is well made and is necessary for clubs so they no longer "ruin" the transfer market every time the window opens. The point of having youth academies exists for this very reason. UEFA is encouraging the development of younger players instead of having established clubs buy players for long term to replace their stars short term. Trying to overthrow UEFA's ruling just because owners and clubs don't have patience to endure mediocre seasons is ridiculous. Fans will not take their support elsewhere. Otherwise this sport would not be as great as Pips and I state it is. I hope UEFA ban the clubs who do not make profit from major European tournaments. The operating association being strong-armed into submission to rid of the rule would spell corruption even more. I can live with not seeing Barcelona in CL...I hope they are the first club banned !!(Very strong distaste for the Catalan club. Filled with unimpressive talent and even more massive egos.)

Transfer:
Torres to Chelsea. Liverpool play Chelsea this weekend, Sunday!! Perfect time to move. Bookies favourite Jamie Carragher to be first to foul the Spaniard. I put my money on him as well. Liverpool use the cash received on Torres to spend an unprecedented ?35m for the 22 year old striker, Andy Carroll from Newcastle. Liverpool wanted talent up front for Gerrard and since Torres could not fill the void by himself, and believed newly Luis Saurez would be able to pick up the scoring slack all by his onesy. Carroll, only with half of a season of top tier football and with a mere one international call-up where he played less than 90 minutes bought for that amount would scratch the heads of most owners and fans too, but Liverpool believe he is the right man for the job at the moment to help them to glory once more in the long run, but for short term, to help salvage a top ten finish.

All this info on Liverpool bolstering the squad makes it seem as if I am counting out the Blues, but no. This is more than just revenge for Liverpool. But a good match for Torres to prove he is still a world class striker and he could not play at the level Liverpool wanted him to. Deadly the Blues front look(glad we beat Chelsea 3-1 at home) and to add more, they look to have acquired the guy they need to stabilise the defence in David Luiz, something desparately needed. He can provide pace in the back, something Chelsea needs to cover for Terry and a solid consistent performer...the man next to Terry lacked focus often and led to goals for the opposition. Expect that no longer with Luiz in the back.

Also news regarding the suppoed "witch hunt" on Arsenal midfielder and captain Cesc Fabregas after his remarks regarding the offside call on Louis Saha and the goal being allowed after the whistle was not blew when it was clear Saha was in an offside position. Sayin such things as how much was the referree and the linesman paid to throw the match and not make the call. Everton manager David Moyes believed Fabregas deserved to be sent off for it calling unclassy for a player as in Fabregas to say such things.

what else to add before the weekend?
