So what does Jamie Redknapp know that hasn't come out in the press? In an off the cuff comment last night before the Chelsea match, Redknapp said, 'well there were a couple of problems with Willians medical at Spurs' , injuries? drug test? or what?
I don't think there were any problems so to speak, I heard a rumour that we now send players blood for tests which take a couple of days to come back - hence the window of opportunity for Chelsea, and the fact we were slow to confirm all our deals this summer.

So far, nobody. Everyone seems to be playing at a decent level, hence we won 6 of our 7 games this season.
Both Dortmund and Chelsea will get out their groups.

Chelsea will give it a right old go for sure, but as long as AVb has kept our 'first XI' free from playing at Villa Park, I fancy us to beat them.
I never wanted us to buy Willian, and said so at the time. To me the stats for Eriksen/Lamela looked more promising, plus it seemed to me that Willian was an 'AVB selection' and for whatever good or bad reasons I prefer Levy and Baldini's 'selections'.
Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes striker Wayne Rooney has rediscovered his best form.
After the win over Swansea in May - his final home game - Ferguson said United had rejected Rooney's transfer request and Chelsea subsequently had two bids for the forward turned down.
"Wayne was fantastic [against Bayer Leverkusen]. I'm pleased to see that," he told MUTV. "He's got his energy back, the determination, his purpose to attack. As a director, I'm delighted to see him back to what we always remember him."
Looking to formulate our "power XI" - a team (in realistic positions) that Stoke would be afraid to play against. I think we could say we could put out what is arguably the PL's "strongest" team ever, with four centre backs in defence and four holding or box to box midfielders.
. . . . . . . Friedel
Kaboul - Dawson - Chiriches - Verts
Dembele - Sandro - Capue - Paulinho
. . . . . . Ade - Kane
Remember, this is nothing about putting out our best team, simply the most powerful one. e.g, Friedel is bigger than Lloris so he gets in. Have I missed anyone?
