That's a possiblity but even so I wasn't talking about Marquinhos' wishes. Talking about if PSG wanted to sell. They paid a lot for him in the first place and I doubt they'd sell him for anything less than like £75M.

Would love to sign him as he's probably the best young CB in the world ATM. But PSG know this so can't see why they'd want to sell.

If it was me, i'd play this team (assuming all injury niggles have recovered and we sign Pogba/Witsel/whoever as our new CM): ---------------------Courtois------------------------- --Azpilicueta-----Terry------Zouma-----Baba-- -----------------------Matic-------------------------- -------------Oscar------------New CM------------- -Pedro-------------------------------------Hazard- ------------------------Costa------------------------- Subs: Begovic, Cahill, RLC, Kenedy, Willian, Remy, Falcao. Really make a statement. Drop Ivanovic and Fabregas from the squad entirely and tell them unless a drastic improvement is seen it will stay like that. I imagine though it will be something like: -------------------------Courtois---------------------------- --Azpilicueta-------Ivanovic-------Terry-------Baba-- ------------------Matic----------Fabregas---------------- -Pedro------------------Willian------------------Hazard- ---------------------------Costa----------------------------- Subs: Begovic, Zouma, Cahill, Mikel, Ramires, Oscar, Falcao. I hope i'm wrong.

They better not.

Ty for reminding me of that. Needed that injection of good news today .

I wanted Pogba before, now I want us to move heaven and Earth to get him . Come on Chelsea, let's get some of that Pogba for our midfield!! We really need it.

Did well today and went some way to justifying being subbed on over Remy. Although i'd still like to see Remy given a few chances in the near future but hopefully he is better than he was against Arsenal cos he was absolutely shocking then. Tbh quite happy that we've got 3 decent strikers in the squad, once the team starts playing well i'm sure all 3 of them will flourish.

To be fair you were not offering any arguments. Just professing how you were right and calling out people who have a different viewpoint to you. I would say that someone that is so joyful to be 'right' as opposed to sad because the team you supposedly support lost paints you as the plastic here, not him.

Please be talking about Ivanovic....

I'm here. Mourinho is still the best coach for us and still the best in the world. All managers go through bad patches and while Mourinho is going through 1 now let's not forget that it was only 3 months ago that we won the title again for only the 2nd time since he left 10 years ago with a squad that was not as good as others in the league. He needs to work hard to change this around, granted, and the first thing he can do is drop/sell Ivanovic, have stern words with Fabregas and maybe drop him too and keep doing like he did today and give RLC, Kenedy and Traore chances as they're hungrier than some of the other players we've got. If we finish outside the top 4 then yes, big panic but this is Mourinho, he won't lead us to outside the top 4 he'll recover cos he's a great coach like he has proved so many times before with other clubs. We need to get much better, I agree, and some of the fault needs to fall at the feet of Mourinho but for me the majority needs to fall at the feet of the players. Ivanovic has been ****************** <-- literally no words to describe, Fabregas has been awful, Matic has been a shadow of his former self, Costa is more interested in picking fights than playing football and Willian needs someone to teach him how to shoot. But these players (barring Ivan) have not become bad players overnight. They're good players going through a bad patch of form and either have to sort themselves out or be dropped from the team. It's up to Mourinho to do so and I believe he will, he's got his favourites but (once again barrring Ivanovic who is some kind of weird anomaly) he's not afraid to drop them and replace them in teams. He's done so at all the clubs he's managed and he just has to here. I still have faith in him, and probably always will because he's proved himself so many times. But as i've said in other threads, this Ivanovic thing needs to stop. God only knows why he keeps picking him and after the international break Baba will definitely be fit enough and has to replace Ivan in the starting line up.

Mistake Ivanovic for one of your goats and we might stop conceding so many goals.

Use Ivanovic as a sacrificial lamb to sacrifice to whatever fucking deity we've pissed off to appease it. We'd be better off with a cone at RB ATM.

Has to drop Ivanovic. Whatever it is from stopping him doing so in the past he has to do it now.

This is un-fucking-acceptable. Hate to say it as i'm his biggest fan but if Mourinho doesn't drop Ivanovic after the international break then that's it, I have no faith in his decision making any more. It's just not ok to keep playing someone who is genuinely the player in the worst form i've ever seen at the club. He has single handedly cost us points and games consistently for the last 13 months and I do not accept that he can carry on playing. Absolutely furious. It's getting towards Mourinho or Ivanovic. One has to go. I have faith that Jose will make the right choice as he has so many times before. He's still the best manager for us after all.

Lol our defence is an absolute shambles. Guess which side it came from?

Lol what a time to score Falcao!!!

Because he's busy being bent over by every LW in the PL?

I was literally shouting at my screen, close him down, CLOSE HIM DOWN! Fuck.

Fuck you Ivanovic. Fuck you so much you ball watching useless fucking cuntfag.

That was very unlucky. Keeper just fell in the way. At least Fabregas shot this time.

Dunno mate. He had 2 holding mids behind him and 2 wingers to each side so I guess a stop gap until Bojan gets fit again then drop back to CM. Not that it's relevant any more though. Stoke have had 2 players sent off and both were fellow midfielders of his. So he'll have to defend big time now. At least it means he'll get a good run of games though eh?

Starting today at no.10 against WBA. Hope to see him have a great game as I still have a lot of faith in the lad.

It'll be one of Hazard and Azpi I'm thinking.
