Pieters will surely be signed in the summer too!
Who is he and what's his position?

There's two Amalfitino's I think. We tried to sign the other one last summer but he ended up staying in France and joining Marseille. Never seen this one play but after seeing how well other signings have done I wouldn't back against Carr having unearthed another gem.

Out of interest lads, what ever happened to that Marveaux? Is he still alive? I haven't heard anything of him in ages but he was highly rated when you signed him.

Jesus. We'll be waiting a while for that

Bad result for you tonight mind. If Chelsea win the CL then 4th doesn't get a CL place.

He got sliced in half by Heitinga earlier in the season. Pity because he looked great that game.

Didn't you get the memo? We're going for 3rd.

French player playing for Reims. Don't know much about him tbh he's a midfield player looks a done deal.

Pieters is a Dutch International left back, and will start in the Euro's it seems. Will be interesting to see how he plays for one of the favourites. Seems almost a done deal tbh. Him, Simpson , Saylor and Colo would be a nice looking backline.

He's out with a groin injury I think. Haven't had much chance to see what he can do. Perhaps next season he can develop into a good player.

Can't see Chelsea winning that final tbh. But it would be heartbreaking if they won and we got 4th!

Santon would surely displace Simpson if Pieters came.

For yer sakes I hope Bayern/Real stuff Chelsea in the final. Would be the biggest injustice ever if ye finish 4th but get it robbed away from those plastics and that poxy Uefa rule..

Tbf you couldn't begrudge them a place in it if they win it But it would be sickening alright. Why there can't be a 5th team in such circumstances is annoying tbh

Could well. But look it'll be great to have greater depth especially as we'll be in Europe. Most of the squad could have a huge role to play next season.

Marveaux and Obertan back in training.

Not fussed about Obertan but interested to see Marveaux back involved. Looked handy against Everton before he got injured.

He has lots of talent but seems very brittle

Can't really comment on how brittle he is but he got halved by Heitinga that day. Pity because he looked great. Solid touch and his crossing was fantastic.

Nice to have players coming back in at the right time. Bench seems to be getting stronger by the week.

I'm going on his time in France too when I say brittle. His injury record has been terrible.
Big push now til the end of the season for you guys.
One game at a time obviously but no reason why you can't win all your games
