Blueboy

Heard that he visited alot of Chelsea matches as a little boy with his dad...

Is it right that he has been a Chelsea fan since he was a little boy? Would like to know that !

No, Ancelotti is fine for us as a coach. And we need some stability for god's sake, not another new manager. If Hiddink would run our academy etc instead of Arnesen, i would be a happy man .

Lol, are we going to see Mikel play again xD?

Yes ofcourse. I already didn't count him anymore because of his long-time absence .

Borini, Kakuta and Matic all are selected for the Wolves match . Out are Ballack, Deco, Lampard and Drogba. All will be available, except Lampard, for the Porto game!

I'd rather say Ancelotti as first goalscorer... Hope we can get a comfortable win out of this, Wolves also know we'll miss some of our vital players. Luckily, it's not one of the better teams in the PL we play after the international break. 3-0

It's true we could need some extra players during the period of the ACON. But i think Ancelotti should balance it. Also give the youth a chance of playing when we are missing players due to the ACON of injuries!

I agree with that, but how you're going to use him in the current situation? When does he fit in? And who do you leave out?

Still, compilations only show the best moments of a player ofcourse, so you don't get a complete image of this guy. And he's 'already' 23, wich is a bit of a high age to still be called a talent if you ask me xD...

Isn't there a special rule for players with 'exceptional talent'? Although the FA isn't really clever about this xD. They rejected Messi, it wasn't an 'extraorindary talent', when Arsenal tried to sign him xD.

And besides that, dutch side Heerenveen is rumoured to pay only 2 million EURO's for him. I'm sorry, but the chance that a dutch eredivisie side like Heerenveen signs a player who is actually good enough for a Pl-club like Chelsea, looks pretty small to me. Don't think we should buy him tbh...

He's is a very good player, but do we really need him? I mean, if Bosingwa returns, we've got Bosingwa, Richards, Ferreira, Beletti and even Ivanovic who could play at right-back. In the centre we also got enough players i think? With Terry, Carvalho, Alex and Ivanovic! Add Richards to that list and we'll have 5 potential right-backs and 4 potential Centre-backs, isn't that a bit overdone?

Fucking AMEN. That would be magnificent to see some of these guys get games in the first team . I (L) Carlo .

Lol, it's probably one of the few things that relies on the truth on tribalfootball :goodpost:.

Well, following the link mentioned by Aesthetic Relic, all injured arsenal players except Djourou and RVP who are long-time absents, are expected to return for the game against Chelsea. Hope we don't get more inuries due to the international friendlies however!

Lampard is almost certain not to play against Arsenal as it stands now, he'll be out for3 weeks. Drogba is bit unclear, depending on the fact if he has fractured or bruised ribs and how bad the damage exactly is:unsure:.

Let's hope it isn't, because then our injuries will really start to have a big influence on our upcoming fixtures :unsure:.

Don't we have enough young players in our academy already that can replace the old dogs? I'm not so sure if he's worth the money, especially when you look at how much playing time our previous purchased talents are getting...

Well, that may be a point, but i see him going the way, all our talent is going at the moment. And that is, mainly playing youth & reserve games. And don't you think 14 million pounds or more is a bit too much for an 18-year old? Besides, Ancelotti is exactly reknown for letting younger players play much in the first team...

Read it this morning. Heard Everton only wanted to sell him for a fee of 18 million quid, wich is way too much imo. And about Sturridge, how much chances did he really get to prove himself? I ain't so sure about the fact if Rodwell is going to perform better than Sturridge. Besides, he is a midfielder, what do we need that for xD?

Okay cool . Thanks for the info , as i said, didn't really believe it xD.

Haha xD, i like all the nicknames over here

Lol xD, it;s 63% for Cole against 37% for Rooney .

I don't see it as as worry tbh, my question was if this was true or not !
