once CL resumes he will be back in the team and also betting he will play in fa cup against mancity...we have only 4 CB's ... after next week brace yourself for truck load of games and we need this quality depth in squad then!! but i think this is the end of luiz in a blue shirt...next season he will go to barca(they are kinda desperate for one!!) and zouma is really good...he went against ibra and cavani and game on top most of the times...that says a lot!!

Why do all want cech to leave ...is he that bad? is reading the game badly? has he not performed at big stages? is he 38-40 and reflexes not like before? I still think he has invaluable experience and he is one of the most underrated goalkeepers of our time!!...i wouldnt pick anybody over him...not even courtois( hes in top 5!!)... why kick van aanholt out ? hes having a gr8 season at vitesse and will be perfect back up left back to shaw imo also think the same of bertrand...not sure why jose dont trust him...hes been soild at villa(i know its only been 2 games but still...) mikel very good player ...as long as you dont want your cm to make a sensible pass !! good bye and all the best! courtois is a case of overachieving.....chelsea never tought he will peak so soon and worse Athletico would along with him....now hes gonna be demanding... but could sell him with a buy back clause after 5 years... Bamford is impressive(touch wood...) omeru will fight for a spot next season(hes strong and quick , a perfect mourinho player) Torres leavin...keep dreamin ;P costa/rooney/cavani along with torres and lukaku should seal the deal upfront... lamps i fear is nearing his time chalobah should be given a chance along with romeu(hes pretty good...had a gr8 game against barca !!) But my wish list is to bring Kroos to play along with matic...imagine that... hope mourinho has another quiet transfer in the summer :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

the reason why we lost him was inconsitency with managers and the pressure on them..... That is why things looks good now...mourinho gives us 2 bonus...he is here to stay and he knows how to take pressure and man manage... all the board has to do is give him time to bring up players..... never again a player like sturridge will be mishandled.....

15 mils including add ons and bonus...

got this feeling that this match is going to be about one player.... Hazard or Willian is gonna set ethiah ablaze hopefully... or even salah maybe!!

maybe not as much as brazil but between 2006(since d WC) and till today....spain is considerd the most powerful NT around.... only teams to go head to head with them are germany and brazil .... and even now spain is considered at par if not favourites in any match with them....thats says a lot!! Spain was like portugal & england..gr8 on the paper but screws up in real time!! Aragones changed all that and brought the best out of them..... As a manager a legend...as an individual not so much.. RIP

Yup we need to have homegrown players i am told... now the team is balanced but next season leaves a lot to suspense...... When romeu was asked at valencia if he will stay permanently he was very confident in saying mourinho has plans for him.... When mourinho was brought in this season i am sure the agreement was he gets total control of team and strategy but gotta keep a positive budget and bring youth players(<22) piazon and atsu and traore will break into the team and piazon is being used more like srtiker now at vitesse(rumours are players are being played the way chelsea wants @ vitesse ...) Yesterday against barca romeu was really good...positive passing and good reading of the game and this is against xavi and fabregas!! omeru pvg is most certain to break into team next season along with zouma... Zouma, pvg , bamford(gr8 finisher!!) , romeu and lukaku  are my bets for next season... we need one more AM for the bench and hoping for piazon or traore

he also said no more transfers!!...you right ... from the state we where since ancelotti left till the end of last season(15points below manu) to win the title is not easy.....but like you pointed out...to win the other teams should mess up and they have!! the first half of the season has seen lot of upsets... and this is the most toughest fought season of the league apparently !!(just quoting something i heard from tv pundits....) and there is still three clubs in contention.... I am waiting for CL...lets see how mancity do during that time...that will be the deciding period of this season i think ... And we got Mourinho...the best tactician you can find in this game.. he will deliver 99/100 times ... so lets see..fingers crossed

exactly!! who in the right mind would do that? rooney was the best player on the field tonight and he was wasted by moyes.... but there is another look to it...maybe hes lost all faith in this team.... this manu team is not like his model team that he used to have in everton..... but why didnt he bring true cm's during transfer time is beyond me!! i was not worried when they bought mata ...but kroos and other cm rumours with them was... that is what they always needed...for the past 4-5 seasons they had a mediocre CMs feeding worldclass strikers or wingers...that was SAF style...but in moyes model he needs the midfield to win battles physically and technically and the best he got for this is carrick and funny face jones!!! they are apparently going to spend big...but how big? next season without CL they are not going to get anything near worldclass...and who all will leave? RIP MANCHESTER UNITED!! (sad mata will be buried with them )

It always make me feel a little sad when i see mata playing for manu...really liked him..his simple and direct pass that destroyed defences...... And then i see him trying to pass to welbeck.....the joy!!Alls well in the world... And then i see moyes sending welbeck and pushing rooney into midfield....fletcher looks on from bench.... Now i feel sad again....mata deserves to play atleast in europa!! .

always thought milner/barry combo along with yaya toure was the main reason of our undoing last season(physically overpowered us to easily!!)..... look at the match at stamford bridge this season....other than for an aguero brilliance(glad hes not playing!!) they didnt have much answer to our play(more of a stalemate imo)... very evident from pellegrinis expression....and hes seems like a sour loser to me!! And for the joke of hitting past 5/6 goals against us they need to have their FBs very high up....good luck with containing hazard and willian... I truly hope mancity tactics are as stupid and arrogant as their newfound fan base

A beast of a player...reports say he came on top in the duel btw him and ibra and cavani and both the goals his defensive partners where at fault.....thats pretty awesome if true!! imagine two tours next preseason....one with first team players and the other with loanees!!!! both looks awesome on paper :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

:blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: welcome french terry anybody with any doubt against him watch him against ibra psg...he is truly an exciting prospect

liked it till the last paragraph...RDM was never at the level of mourinho and for fat spanish guy...well he just had to go!! do kindly remember we almost beat bayern and we looked more than up for the job that night and it was very early in the season....we are definitely better now we had a setback against west ham....shit happens!! we needed a spark of brilliance for the first goal and it never came that doesnt mean its over...this is the league not a cup competition...anything is possible this season..keep faith in jose

wasnt playing barca in 2009 scary? again playing them in 2012 scary? playing bayern munich in 2012 scary? again playing them this season scary? playing mancity this season @ stamford bridge scary? Winners make a strategy and go out and work their ass to get it... That is why we are in love with chelsea and not supporting and talking history like liverpool shits!! Lets not be afraid

Loads of pessimism going around!!!! There is only one team that can beat mancity or draw them at their home this season and that is CHELSEA!! we may sit back and try choke their midfield (so what!!) ....n without aguero our CBs will have better control of game.... every season is defined by a match...we might be able to look back and say here it began.. who knows this might be it!!! in jose we trust :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

i think this is our strongest 11 but doubt jose would let both ba and eto sit on the bench cahill instead of luiz ....

what i dont understand is ffp!! mancity is apparently going to bid for mangala and fernando @ 58mils(maybe a rumour)...and they just put up a loss of 68 mils... Somebody was pointing out to me that an owner or benefactor can gift a certain amount to the club and its clean slate in ffp.... well then why the fuck is it made anyway?!!!...its just going to keep future big investors from other clubs and keeping the present group of big clubs at the helm permanently!!(not that i care about other petty clubs) but the whole idea of ffp was kinda the opposite,right?!!

If you dont expect much from him because he is not that good i understand... but if its because he's young then not necessarily... remember hazard? And everybody is talking about his pace and left foot already....maybe he is the right winger we been lookin for all this while.........(fingers crossed) hope he makes debut on monday....

barca always wanted him and they need a defender of his mould desperately(and can match the price)..... but maybe mourinho sees a future for luiz ...since terry is getting old (he always like keeping 2 for each position and and 4 CBs )

mata and de bruyne competed with hazard ,oscar and willian ......(all worldclass though de bruyne not that level yet..) ramires competes with lampard & mikel now do you see why?!! as far as cole & bertrand goes even i am confused but as for yesterday mourinho got his tactics wrong yesterday.. he was being precautious and it backfired in his face... i think cole and azpi should have started but guess jose was afraid of west ham targeting cole and azpi during crosses..... as for how bad ivanovic is do you remember the match against napoli when he took a brilliant shot to seal the game?and he is a pretty decent defender!! no player at chelsea is bad...except for our strikers(who arent bad but just not worldclass and misfiring!!)

mourinho says lot of shit... he like to play mind games and he is the best at it... but mourinho always like to play with a solid reliable good in the air CB's .... and we are kinda playing from the back now.....just not AVB style expect to see cahill/ivanovic partnering zouma/terry combo for next year.... the only question is what is going to happen to luiz.?

glad it was not just me who tought that....but the striker situation did come up ....it was that obvious so that there is no pressure or "seems " like there is none .... but we all know he has an eye on the trophy... infact an eye on all the trophies and thats the kinda guy he is....
