Rare Zhirkov start, Robinho’s back, and is Vidic off?
Honestly, what’s not to love, Nemanja?
With their safe voyage into the next round already guaranteed, both Chelsea and Man United will be looking to give some lesser known faces a run out tonight. That means a likely start for Welbeck, Gibson and Obertan against Besiktas for United. Whilst Chelsea’s forgotten man Zhirkov steps in for the injured Ashley Cole against Porto, with a possible spot on the bench for Kakuta.
In other Man United related news, the smooth talking businessmen who run things in Holland are once again attempting to lure Edwin van der Sar back into a tight-fitting international shirt for next year’s World Cup. Proceedings are still very much at the “could do” phase, according to The Guardian.
And Nemanja Vidic has seemingly dropped the rather surprising bombshell that not everyone can be seduced by the awe-inspiring panoramic views of beautiful Manchester, with its thick, almost solid, air and impressively grey skyline. The consensus in the Daily Mail seems to be that he and his wife, Ana, shall be tottering around Spanish fish markets in the not too distant future.
Elsewhere in the world, Robinho looks set to pull on his rotting Man City pullover at the weekend, when they take on Hull. Harry Redknapp might be tempted to splash out on another footballer from Honduras, magnificently called Melvin Valladares. And Theo Walcott could soon find himself leading the line for Arsenal, what with Van Persie and Bendtner both crocked until after Crimbo. Word has it that he’ll be over the moon about that.
