Mimi, perhaps there is some truth in that rumour after all!! Why cant AC have a slight strain, tweak or knock, what is it with him that every injury he gets its a major one from a minor incident.

Anyhow, here is an ideal chance for Sam to plan for the next few months at least til 2015 without AC, I'm hoping our style of football now will bring out the best in Downing, Jarvis, Zarate and Valencia and if we have to revert to Carlton upfront on his own that is our plan B!!!

Then again Lukaku is not signed up to anybody yet and another of our targets from last season, Traore from Monaco, still fancy's a move to the Premiership (hamstring permitted}.........................................
