Ollie

Sneijder obviously likes it in Milan so if he wants to stay, he can stay. You would think he'd want the premiership Challenge though wouldn't ya after achieving everything with Inter. 1 last challenge? but if he's happy, he's happy. And also the deal says Essien and Malouda so there's no point discussing Mikel or Anelka or someone else because that's not even an issue. I'm not a Mikel fan i admit, he's always half asleep to me and to name him world class is crazy as he's not actually done anything yet and didn't play lots of the last few seasons. He's strong and can distribute well but he also makes rash stupid challenges, picks up numerous cards and always gives the ball away needlessly. I could name 100 lower league players who can do what Mikel does. The player who is generally world class is Lassana Diarra but he slipped through the net because of his arrogance and attitude. Pity though because he is perfect for us and we wouldn't be discussing this disjointed midfield so much if we'd played him and if he was a bit more patient. Even Arsene got rid of him which says a lot, he likes his young French boys. Hear a rumour and talk about that rumour, don't just make stuff up because it's pointless. There's already lots of annoying stuff in these threads as it is.

Wow the tits on her.... What's with the gold patches? And also on the previous page they have DD with the gold patches and one pic with the white patches and the pic is exactly the same. Anyway.... After thinking about it for the last 3 days, i have come to the conclusion that i really like the kit. Finished.

That actually looks kinda good, wont get too excited tho, this signing would be too good to be true. Even bigger than Torres imo. The guy is absolute class and would probably be the end of Mr. Lampard. Not completely but he's really struggling now.

It's not too bad when u look at the front on picture, it doesn't look too bad. Will get it.

Essien's been crap all season, even when he was fit. His injuries have been in the back of his mind and he's not as strong as he was and his presence isn't the same. He is not the same. End of story.

If i could chose any midfield player i would chose Sneijder so i don't really care who we offer. Maybe offer Lampard and Drogba i'd still probably take it. They like ageing players in Italy. We need a Sneijder desperately.

I'd accept that i must say. Essien aint the same as he was between 05 & 08 and Malouda has never been consistent. I'd say that's a good deal to be honest and i'd take it.

He'll play on for now and he'll never play for England again after Euro 2012. Maybe he should finish before then tho tbh. He's so slow, has no reactions and seems to just get through games as they pass him by. He's on his last legs.

If we don't buy him, it's a huge opportunity lost considering his ability and the price tag. But this is Chelsea afterall...

If i looked like him, my hair would be the least of my worries.

I want the best players playing for Chelsea first and foremost. Carol, Wickham and Henderson are good players but they aint gonna win them the league. I personally think Henderson is very much overrated anyway and 21m? ok have fun with that, i know Sunderland will. Wasn't long ago we had almost half the England team. JT, Lamps, Parker, Johnson, Bridge and Joe Cole in the squad at the same time then Ashley Cole joined us so even when Parker and Johnson left, we had another one. And all our players get booed anyway. Chelsea comes first always for me although i want to see England do well in World Cups and Euro's, the last 2 were a disgrace. Didn't even qualify for Euro 2008 and i kinda wish we never qualified for that awful WC. If i could get a couple of English players, i'd get Ashley Young and Jack Rodwell but i don't want us just getting English players for the sake of it. Look at Arsenal.... They don't give a shit. They've only had Walcott and Wilshere represent England in the last god knows how long and Walcott is NEVER England quality. If a player is good enough, he'll make it to the National team regardless who he plays for as long as the standard is high. HE may need to drop down but if he's genuinely good, he'll come back up somewhere. And for a team like Chelsea to get Lukaku or Neymar, this will help Belgium and Brazil too so it's still good for football. Giving any youngster a chance in a European giant league is good for football, English, or anyone.

It's completely irrational to sack someone who won the double, then came 2nd. End of story.

I really hope Yuri stays because i think he's a very good player and deserves a run in the team. He wasn't exceptional when he played last season but you can't expect him to be after not playing too much and getting no real stay in the line up. We're a club that plays with wingers and he's probably the only natural one we have and we don't use him.... makes no sense to me. He said he wasn't injured, he wasn't injured, Carlo just didn't trust him. He'll probably move on but i hope he has one final crack at it because he has the ability.

It doesn't matter what the situation is, if you win the double, you should not get the sack next season especially for coming 2nd. It's disgraceful and disrespectful. It's not easy winning trophies and nobody has a god given right to win them. Only people who know absolutely nothing about football believe that Carlo deserved the sack and maybe that just means Roman knows nothing about football. He's given a hell of a lot to this club but it doesn't mean he's always right. If he understood football properly, we'd be a great team.

Here's the schedule anyway so everyone knows:

pretty sure the socks would be black. anyway is that really edited? Looks real to me lol. nice job. Crap kit but i will most likely get it...

Now i can see how some ppl have such a huge number of posts. Samir Nasri joining us is about as likely as the philippines having a snow storm next week.

Boring ...

wow another player i've never heard of....

Our home shirt is nice... Wait to see Derby's away shirt then we can judge i guess

Just saw the goal, was exceptional i must say. The run in behind keeping himself onside, the pace, the finish, it was vintage Torres. So happy seeing that.

Because that is their home shirt. Our home shirt is similar and very nice. I notice they have the hooped design too and it works nicely. Away shirts are sometimes for a bit of fun, as long as adidas don't fuck our home kit up, everything's sweet imo.

I liked Umbro because they weren't predictable and didn't have a certain trademark except the obvious diamond on the right tit. They were excellent for us but are getting annoying tho, using this same England kit design for club teams now like Rangers and Forest (And probably more). Takes the prestige out of the idea somewhat. At the moment, Adidas is the best

Rooney has the rapey predator look about him. Experienced hanging around street corners. Van Persie looks like a bit of a poof and is usually the victim by the hands (And fingers) of his own club manager.

Yeah come on Guus, fuck off to Chelsea and hurry the fuck up!
