From The Sun: ... And the Swiss centre-back, 24, has already shaken off the shock of being thrashed 8-2 at Manchester United on Sunday. Djourou insisted: "I can assure you I was able to sleep after the defeat. My morale is good and I have a smile on my face. "Mertesacker's arrival may mean direct competition for me. "But I am used to it â it does not frighten me." ============ Nice bloke. He was sleeping alright.. smiling. I love him since the day he said that his hobby was pampering himself with creams. Competition... I think it is not even a competiton. It is a bench, my friend.
