Could be a serious injury...hope not as it would destroy a promising career

I have always wondered what really happened to him...remember that Barca 2010-11 he played virtually every game and even scored against Real Madrid and in the CL final against MU. However from there on he just seems to completely drop off the map for some reason even during Pep's last season. That Pedro 10-11 was as good as any winger at the time, don't think he picked up any serious injury either in the past few years so I am very curious.

Pep apparently agreed to coach City from next season(according to rumor around today). This would be great and will finally the debate once and for all whether he is better than Jose. Jose has adapted in over 4 leagues and going strong still while Pep winning Bundesliga is the equivalance of us winning the League Cup by beating Southend with our strongest starting 11. If he succeed the debate will go on and on like Ronaldo vs Messi atm while if he fails that will end it once and for all. If the rumor is true I can't wait to see next season, will have the potential to be one of the best title race ever in BPL history with Arsene Wenger finally know how to win ugly+keep on winning against shit teams and LVG somewhat found his formula and getting his signings in early like us last summer. If we stand still with our squad and only additions we get are the likes of Green as backup or someone like Benteke I can already see us doing a City this season, WE MUST IMPROVE ALL THE TIME both on and off field and not sleep on victory.

20-30m backup...I will pass. Remy is good enough to be backup, what we need is someone to challenge Costa (who is imo permanently fucked with hamstring unless he undergoes surgery which he clearly won't be doing as it stands) like Lacazette or Vietto or Dyabala.

Too much fifa ultimate team in this thread... Realistically we will probably sign Green as backup to Courtois and that is about it LOL, well unless Oscar leaves which in that case we will get someone like Koke or Pogba but I doubt we will just go out there and throw 50-80m on someone like that unless a big name in our team is leaving for a big fee like last summer.

Not good enough for Chelsea, another Lukaku/Lambert...etc players who are good for midtable sides but no where near good enough for one of the best team in the world. I mean didn't earlier this season he goes on a 10-15 matches goalless run or something under Lambert, this means he is more of a confident player and if he comes he will start on the bench, he will lose it and eventually become a Salah at ST. Basically his best bet is maybe Liverpool as any team above that is a level too high for him. Well this fact stands until he bangs in 30 goals next season

Overrated player, another player that is usually 1st to get substituted in big game because of fitness/mental weakness. For a flat track bully I wouldn't pay more than 20-25m max but the problem is Atletico paid that themselves so they need to make a profit.

Only if you give them the exact same players each. It is debatable maybe Suarez is better than Villa or Neymar is infinitely better than Pedro and others now in the team like Alba. It is the same with Bayern, if this was Heynckes Bayern maybe they would not have been destroyed, remember that team is perfection as well.

If it was us we still would have lost even with hardcore bus parking...maybe not 3-0 but 2-0 is really likely as we won't chase a late goal like Bayern did. Remember 11-12 season with hardcore bus parking they were 2-0 up in the 1st half and we luckily got it back thanks to that Ramires goal. If it was 2-0 at half time it probably would have ended like 5-0.

Terrible game, as good as he is shows anyone can still have a bad game these days.

Anything but FREE FLOWING football here is UNACCEPTABLE. No pressure, no reason to play it safe, this is probably one of those rare big game where WE SHOULD be attacking non stop and destroy them. Expect a 2-0 win but probably a 1-1 draw with neither side care much about it...

Game is reminding me of our game against Inter away 09-10, think Juve will win the tie by parking it hardcore next week and probably score a late goal like Eto'o did against us in that year.

Pre-WC he was a 50m player now probably 20-25m max considering his age and potential long term health problem with that knee.

Didn't Lampard once go like 5 years without missing one? The trick is to smash them in the top corner, they will be in a lot more times than they are saved. Yeah he has missed 3 so far in his Chelsea career including 2 this season already so it is not completely perfect. More and more people will do it from now if he doesn't put them in a corner.

Pen style finally found out...knew it would happen eventually. I think he was lucky to score this one, needs to change it now.

Awareness level is terrible...don't know if it is just down to nerve or he has always been like this. Once your awareness is bad your ability as an attacking player reduces immensely.

Hopefully THIS HAPPENS, I have been a big fan of this guy since 2013, genuinely thinking this season is the season he announces himself as one of the best young ST in Europe like Benzema did. Now around 20-30m should be enough to get him while if he keeps this scoring rate up next season at Lyon can see him being priced at around 50m in 2016. Remy+20m is a no-brainer. This is someone I rate very highly compared with Dybala or Icardi.

Ramires is DEFINITELY BETTER THAN Milner... at running...

No one is good at tracking back and attacking so no one is coming on

If that was Torres it would still be a goal so don't know your point.

Willian best Brazil player in BPL

He should have had a hat trick today, scoring a virtually tap in isn't that impressive. Overall he is still done

Nice now he scores a goal this performance is automatically 'great' ...Then he fucked up another great chance. Meh performance

Agreed it is not enough to do it for half a season either. We have seen what this side can do against someone like Everton earlier this season, this is just fucking awful.

Too much fucking bus parking and play passively. Against one of the worst team in the league...I know we will be champion but this is just SHOCKING.
