CHN Links: Tuesday Edition

Good morning, Toon Army. Plenty of news and transfer rumors to go around today - so much so that I ran out of room to tag people in this post. (Sorry Andy Carroll and Tim Krul...)

Rumored target Adel Taarabt's playing style has been compared to Hatem ben Arfa. The difference is, Taarabt has two good legs at the moment. What, too soon?

Good morning, Toon Army. Steven Taylor isn't going anywhere for five and half years, which is awesome. I'm a little more worried about today, though. Let's hope he can help contain van der Vaart and Bale. Again, we'll have a combination of previews and news today.

Rafael van der Vaart celebrates one of the two goals that he scored against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Good morning, Toon Army. Harper aggravates his injury, Bruce complains about poor treatment, and one more candidate is crossed off the list for assistant...after the jump.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean...

Good morning, Toon Army. Back to the grind.

Stop crying.

CHN Links: Sunday Edition

Good morning Toon Army. A day removed from an very rewarding game-day and the smell is still just as sweet. We predicted the 2-2 tie, but did say that we thought it wasn't out of the realm of possibility for the lads to steal away all three points. Nothing makes up for a loss you should have won like a win you should have lost, and away to boot! Make the jump for today's links.

Good morning, Toon Army. Today is that weird day where we're still looking back while also looking forward.

The memory is starting to fade...
