Exactly! As every match passes, the comment Ba made becomes more and more apparent.

That's better than Willian.

I think Reus going to RM is a done deal. Dortmund have purchased Kampl to fill the void.

It kills me to think we wasted £30m on him to spite Tottenham (only reasonable explanation). He is a decent squad member, but he shouldn't be starting week in, week out.

They would rather prefer Reus, and it ain't a secret. A fee doesn't make a player popular, well known or big.

He isn't a "Big" name.

If we win this, we could be 6 points clear of City before they even play.

Jose Mourinho is top of the league at Christmas for the 8th time in his career. He's won it all 7 times previous. Good omen.

Witsel was a decent prospect at Benfica, but ain't doing much at Zenit. I personally think he wouldn't be worth Zenit's asking price.

Cesc, does it!

We need to bring Schurrle on! Willian ain't offering anything up front.

Probably now, but not in the long run. Pogba would be a better addition to our squad.

Not exactly pleased with that line up, but I hope they deliver on the pitch.

Back up for £30m+? It ain't gonna happen.

I doubt it would be a loan, but I hope he does what Xavi says. This chance won't come again.

A must win for us!

Salah's former coach (Yakin), wants him at Spartak Moscow. http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/spartak-moscow-coach-yakin-admits-he-wants-chelsea-winger-salah-4054660#.VJhhKF4hw

We need to be on the front foot, and attack them from the get go.

I agree, but Jose doesn't like change.

I doubt Luis will start, and I can't see Oscar being effective on the wing.

This match has gone from, we should win, to we must win!

Looks like he's very close to signing a new contract. Great news!

This game could be massive if City beat Palace. Hoping our fellow Londoners do us a favour!

I would LOVE that to be the case, but I doubt it will happen here.
