Trabelsi, Isaksson, Hamann. Not bad, not bad at all.

breaking news...
Manchester City have accepted an offer from Middlesbrough for central defender Sylvain Distin.
In what has been one of the summer's longest running transfer sagas, City have repeatedly rebuffed Boro's attempts to land the accomplished Frenchman.
Distin captained City last term and was regarded as an integral figure at the club but Middlesbrough chief Gareth Southgate has been persistent in his desire to bring the player to The Riverside.
Portsmouth were also linked with an approach for the 28-year-old but it would now appear he is closing on a switch to the Teesside outfit.
City have confirmed that Distin is in talks with Middlesbrough about personal terms, with a deal expected to be completed before this weekend's Premiership kick-off.
well I remember us rejecting 5M bids for him, so hopefully we got a good sum for him. Don't really mind seeing him go, IMO very overrated, never really did like him. just wondering who's gonna replace him now. probably Richards?
looking pretty good... except for that left side, kinda sketchy

Yeah, left side still dodgy... unless we play 4-3-3 and put vassells pace to good effect... kinda like united used to play with giggs on the left pushing up when he still had pace... guess pearce will see how things go wit the squad and make appropriate changes in the next transfer window... this could be micah richards year

There has been more than a tentative enquiry made with regards to Kewell.
Kewell? "Meh". if he can somehow stay healthy I would like him at the club, but that's a big if given his run at Pool
oh, and apparently Cole is out for the Chelsea game, Hamann's very unlikely and Dunne is nursing a foot injury and is hoping to be match fit... not looking good

Well it could have been worse. Weaver didn't command his box, Dunne had a shocker, Distin looked like his head was already in Boro, and Dabo looked like he needs some time to get used to the prem style. Samaras also looked quiet...
But yes, we certainly missed someone like Hamaan there today, and on the positive side I thought Ryna, Corradi (before he went off), Richards and Vassell when he came on looked sharp. At the end of the day this was CHelsea, not Portsmouth or Watford or anyone like that. First game against defending champs at their place is always gonna be hard, and now its out of the way. With Hamaan and Isaacson, the team will have more spine than today.
Biggest gripe: if SWP was playing for us today, he would have been a different player

OK, so today vs Pompey. Isaksson may start as he is fit again, Trabelsi hasn't started training because of work permit issues so he's out for sure, Hamann just entered training so he's highly doubtful, and Corradi's suspended. and Coley's still out with a knee injury
sooo, probable line-up:
