Ollie

Wow that's impressive, u joined Feb 10th and that was your first post. :offtopic: Sorry

Maybe Lampard should be the holding midfielder, i mean seriously he does it for England sometimes when Gerrard is with him and does a very good job which nonody notices. They say those 2 can't play together because Lampard does a different job for England than he does for us and when you need someone on the ball to just calm things down and pass the ball on or set something up, he can do it. He is still the best player in our squad at distributing the ball and his vision and range of passing is still there. What lets him down is a yard of pace but u don't have to be too agile to do the holding role.What Lampard does now is receives the ball, looks up, and plays it. I'm not saying he should do this every match because we have Mikel but Romeu hasn't played too much football so maybe this year, Lampard and Mikel can carry the water.

Josh is still developing so he'll be ready to fight it out with Modric when he's ready. For now we need a genuine finished article playing there who josh can learn from. I think that pacey left winger is Mata lol, he'll be used there for definite. Him and Malouda, 2 lefties switching. The new Robben & Duff we hope. Danny can play anywhere, blimey another leftie.... Maybe we should sign a right footed winger like Navas.... we might get a bit too predictable with everyone being left footed.

As we're still chasing modric, it means that mata will be bought to play on the wing unless he's thinking of using both in the middle but i can't see that at all.

Love seeing depressed Arsenal fans. Especially as its because of my wonderful team

Yep, he is. Superb signing.

Bit late to clear out all that lol. Drogba should stay to work with Lukaku. The dead shit shoulda been cleared out after the Everton game.

Always wanted Navas but i don't think we'd get both. Would be amazing if we did tho, Navas has electric pace, a front 3 of Navas - Torres - Mata would be frightning and i'm sure we'd make a lot of Spanish friends. Romeu is here too of course. I'm happy tho with Mata, Lukaku, Romeu and Modric if it is to be the case. It would end in a successful summer afterall.

Luka Modric will not play for Tottenham tomorrow and apparently we are trying to get the deal done for him. This is orgasmic times!

Ramires for me.

Lmao that trick on Raul Albiol. You got fucked up my son! Hahaa

The video titles get better. SSN "Valencia confirm deal agreed with Chelsea for Juan Mata" EDIT: Ok Tomo beat me to the vid lol, i reckon everyones looking for vids of him now lol. I admit i don't know too much of him but he's only 23, he's a lefty who can use his right and he's quick who likes to score goals. That's basically what Youtube is showing me anyway. Got ability for sure.

Lets get some more spaniards then next step is to play like Spain/Barca and we're sorted

Welcome to TC, Sydney FC Suck, just thought i'd randomly add that for no reason in particular. Have fun here.

Never had any serious injury. Got hit by a car when i was 10, was going about 30mph so wasn't too bad. Just got up from it unscathed. Never broken anything or fractured anything

Surely against a team like Norwich at home we can actually play Torres and Drogba together and even play Kalou to try n get him a bit of confidence. Atm this is just the same average Chelsea team as last season We should batter this lot whoever we use.

Can't wait til September 1st just to get this all out the way

4-3-3 works if we have the players for that formation. We clearly don't. 4-4-2 is the best formation with the players we have i think.

If we look at it.... We were unlucky last weekend and deserved to win and this weekend we were shit and probably deserved to drop points. Just say we beat Stoke and Drew with WBA, it would seem kinda right lol. They say luck evens itself out.

Theres no difference really. Todays game was as shit as our home games against Bolton, Wolves, Fulham and Wigan last season whereas our away game last week was good a bit like how we played at Sunderland, Bolton and West Brom although we failed to win, we played some great football. Sometimes you'll play well and sometimes you wont. Happens to everyone but you wont play shit or well every week. So far we got unlucky in one match and got lucky in the other so it's 'fair' as of now.

As Anti-Kalou as i am, it was wrong to take him off after 34 minutes when h/t is only 10 minutes away. It is very Jose like tho, memories of Joe Cole against Fulham.... We still lost.

Frode Grodas or... Neil Sullivan lol

I think Ivanovic is our best defender so he's gotta start when fit. He's quick and strong. Anyone ever seen Luiz at Right back? I don't rate Bos as a RB at all. He's a RM imo.

Well this is the Kalou thread so if people wanna hammer him, it's not off topic or misplaced... I think he's actually achieving the impossible and getting worse week by week. He might play against Norwich because it's Norwich but if he has another shocker, he might actually get transfer listed like a DFS sale half price or even better than half price. How much did he join us for? *Checks Wiki* ok £9m so 3-4m could do it. Might do a good job for hmm.... Who will pay £3m for this guy..? Fuck we're screwed! Leicester? Wigan? meh we have no hope.

Who was actually good? I think Mikel was ok, Ramires came into it and Torres was ok with his dribbling in the first half but what else? Hilario didn't have that much to do and that save from Odemwingie was more luck than judgement. Alex was awful, looked shaky as fuck, JT wasn't right, Bosingwa was great for the winner but shit for the rest, Lampard... steady ish but nothing that's gonna scare anyone, Drogba wasn't bothered at all, Ash was caught out a bit as bos was, WBA they shoulda scored 4 by an hour, Kalou I CAN NOT SAY ANY MORE ABOUT THIS WORLD CLASS GENIUS! Malouda was pretty good at times, at least showed a bit of class and direction....... I can't actually believe we won the game. In a nutshell.... Hilario 7 Bosingwa 6 Alex 3 Terry 5 Cole 6 Lampard 5 Ramires 6 Mikel 7 Kalou -1 Torres 6 Anelka 5 Malouda 6, Ivanovic, can't really tell, Drogba 2
