Wow tough schedule for us, Chelsea at home and then Klanfield away will not be easy. At least there will be a period of easier games especially during CL.

Man...I've stopped buying products from the 3 stripes very long ago and this new Chelsea kit deal completely confirms that I was right to do so.

I can understand that you want to sponsor teams in the most watched soccer league in the world but 350 mil. € for 10 years? WTFH.

Same with DHL.

He has so much talent, but the guy is an idiot. Remember when he said a move to AC Milan would be a 'stepping stone' to a bigger club? I hope he rots in mercenary purgatory at QPR for the rest of his career.

Taarabt should go to Dortmund. If Klopp can't take him to the next level nobody can.

It's hard to say what the best place for him would be. He never got a fair shake at Spurs because he was too young/inexperienced to break into the senior team, then ended up on one of the most terribly constructed football rosters ever at QPR.

I know some Serie A teams are interested in him, so maybe a disciplinarian Italian approach would instill a better work ethic within him. As you said Dortmund would also be good for him as they seem to have a knack for unlocking a player's inner potential, but even in such a hypothetical I can't imagine Klopp rolling the dice on a headcase like Taarabt. To turn his career around he needs to start with getting a better attitude and a better publicist. He wasn't even picked for the Morocco team in the ACoN because he refused to meet with the coach. :lol:
