  1. Cahill would be a perfect backup player. However, Chelsea will soon need 2 cbs after JT retires or declines... Zouma is not ready to take over. I still believe Phil Jones if available would be the perfect cb for Chelsea, but that is a pipe dream.
  2. I have a feeling that Costa will not be great after 30... Kind of a peak version of Lukaku, except with better mentality and agression. Chelsea going to need to find a replacement in 2-3 years imo.
  3. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/eric-garner-chokehold-grand-jury-police/2014/12/04/id/611058/ 1. There is no doubt that Garner was resisting an arrest for illegally selling untaxed cigarettes. Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik put it succinctly: "You cannot resist arrest. If Eric Garner did not resist arrest, the outcome of this case would have been very different," he told Newsmax. "He wouldn't be dead today. "Regardless of what the arrest was for, the officers don't have the ability to say, 'Well, this is a minor arrest, so we're just going to ignore you.'" 2. The video of the July 17 incident clearly shows Garner, an African-American, swatting away the arms of a white officer seeking to take him into custody, telling him: "Don't touch me!" 3. Garner, 43, had history of more than 30 arrests dating back to 1980, on charges including assault and grand larceny. 4. At the time of his death, Garner was out on bail after being charged with illegally selling cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession and false impersonation. 5. The chokehold that Patrolman Daniel Pantaleo put on Garner was reported to have contributed to his death. But Garner, who was 6-foot-3 and weighed 350 pounds, suffered from a number of health problems, including heart disease, severe asthma, diabetes, obesity, and sleep apnea. Pantaleo's attorney and police union officials argued that Garner's poor health was the main cause of his death. 6. Garner did not die at the scene of the confrontation. He suffered cardiac arrest in the ambulance taking him to the hospital and was pronounced dead about an hour later. 7. Much has been made of the fact that the use of chokeholds by police is prohibited in New York City. But officers reportedly still use them. Between 2009 and mid-2014, the Civilian Complaint Review Board received 1,128 chokehold allegations. Patrick Lynch, president of the New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, said: "It was clear that the officer's intention was to do nothing more than take Mr. Garner into custody as instructed, and that he used the takedown technique that he learned in the academy when Mr. Garner refused." 8. The grand jury began hearing the case on Sept. 29 and did not reach a decision until Wednesday, so there is much testimony that was presented that has not been made public. 9. The 23-member grand jury included nine non-white jurors. 10. In order to find Officer Pantaleo criminally negligent, the grand jury would have had to determine that he knew there was a "substantial risk" that Garner would have died due to the takedown. 11. Less than a month after Garner's death, Ramsey Orta, who shot the much-viewed videotape of the encounter, was indicted on weapons charges. Police alleged that Orta had slipped a .25-caliber handgun into a teenage accomplice's waistband outside a New York hotel.
  4. If City payed crazy money for Mangala, you can bet Varane will go for even crazier money.
  5. 2 Brazilians need to start every game for chelsea(not counting luis or costa)... So, rambo/willian, willian/oscar, or oscar/rambo. Chelsea is not athletic enough without them and it will show and expose cesc, matic, jt and cahill.
  6. Aguero has been world class since atletico days...
  7. Torres was done by the time he came to Chelsea. It was evident towards the end of his time in Liverpool, in Spain and now in Milan. Juan Mata situation is a perfect example. Juan Mata didnt just become a fringe player over night and didnt become world class all of a sudden. Lampard the team revolved around his strengths and hid his weaknesses. It allowed a so called CM to be the most forward player on a team in EUROPE. CHELSEA never revolved around stat padding DROGBA. Actually the last statement is where I know you dont watch barca. It is evident in catalonia, that everyone needs to pass it to Messi, which includes both suarez and neymar. Which is why catalonias really are considering whether Messi is the best situation for them moving forward with a team that already consists of 2 high powered forwards in the likes of neymar and suarez. Messi is further back now in enriques team, but Messi is still the key for barcelona and everything still revolves around him... Messi is still playing like a false nine whether its argentina or whether its at barca. Just because he plays a little deeper doesnt mean its a totally different position... How come CESC, AGUERO and Sanchez are playing so great now? Why was villa pushed out wide and ZLatan? NEYMAR will take the rein from Messi just like how Messi took it from ronaldinho and the barca will move on like they usually do. Neymar in 9 starts in la liga= 11 goals after coming back from injury in world cup with 0pks, 0 fks. Messi in 13 starts in la liga= 10 goals with pk and fk responsibilities.
  8. My ass Messi was playing to accommodate aguero. Aguero was playing to accommodate Messi as was Di Maria. And no, the team revolved around Messi, not aguero... AND MESSI SCORED 0 goals in copa america in 2011.....
  9. WTF are you talking about doing bad by their standards...
  10. Why can't it be like BMW or get rid of addidas for Nike... However, Turkish airlines>apple. Or tesla, but definitely not Mercedes and Chevrolet.
  11. Consistency? When the team revolves around you, your stats will be consistent.... Its when the team doesnt revolve around you... Messi has had barcelona revolve around him for how many seasons as did cr7... People think that players just override the system because of their consistency, not the fact the system provides players the opportunity to put up consistent stats.... Kind of like how lampard was always consistent statistically for Chelsea and sucked balls for england. Can you imagine if cr7 didnt get 10 shots a game like he does for Madrid. Wait, I can.. Its called the world cup where he sucked ballz every tournament. maybe you should keep thinking that Mikel is relevant and good.
  12. Mikel cannot provide the same stability as Matic. Mikel can provide another body when a team parks the bus.......
  13. Way to yet miss the point entirely. No surprise though. Aguero has always been a consistent player. Got too much slack for the world cup showing and suarez was always a great player at ajax. When he first got to liverpool, maybe you forgot they had a big signing in the name of andy carroll. Their most expensive signing at the time. Suarez had to be patient at liverpool. In the world cup for both 2010 and 2014, suarez lit up the stage both times. Maybe the fact that xavi and iniesta declined really shows that messi wasnt the primary reason why they won all those TEAM ACCOLADES during their peak... And if you think Messi will retire at barcelona, than your crazy.. NO WAY IN hell are they going to let their investment in neymar and suarez go up in dust like that.
  14. Consistency is overrated. When your team revolves around you, of course your stats will be consistent, unless you pull off a ronaldinho and dont care about winning anymore. Aguero has always been a consistent striker in club level. Suarez scored 1 less goal the season prior.........
  15. I think Luiz would of done a ton better on this team than Cahill.
  16. Kos is argubly the best CB in the EPL and under Jose and in Chelsea, he would sky rocket in status in the world...
  17. Yes, you know every player on every team...
  18. Deep down inside I hope Messi goes to a seria A team and saves the league....
  19. its cool. Gundogan and Reus can finally move to bigger teams... Would be crazy if they both went to united...
  20. You mean Messi will never be on Ronaldo's level.
  21. I dont know half the guys the spurs fielded today. WHo is kane, fazio, bentalb, chilres, and mason? Ericksen should of went to liverpool. Would of been their n10 and upgraded thier team.
