Myself

Why does it matter who wears some plastic armband? A real leader will lead the team, with or without being captain officially. A real leader doesn't need to be named captain for people to have to listen to him.

As much as we all hated him and wanted him gone, Torres is a great man. Not many in football would have said what he did in the Milan press conference.

Those stepovers just complete the goal

Hasn't Mourinho already said that in a few years time we'll be promoting Solanke, Baker, RLC and Chalobah (not sure on Chalobah)? we'll have a good english core in a few years

Oh God no, we have our own academy players you know!! Buying English talents is the same as buying foreign talents, you're not the ones who've produced them.

No, it wasn't him buying his own players. They were Fiorentino Perez signings

Genuinely think van Ginkel will make it here just because of what he showed to Mourinho, wanting to stay here and fight for his place

Thibaut, Oscar, van Ginkel, Dave and Hazard are our new untouchables. 3/5 down, gotta get one soon and then Hazard one in January

I think people are looking at shot stopping alone. Distribution, claiming crosses, controlling your defence is just as important as good shot stopping ability. For instance, Mignolet is a HORRIBLE goalkeeper, but he's one of the best shot stoppers in Europe

People are looking waaaaaay too much at the numbers. Stats don't tell you the whole story, a bit like Oscar against Burnley. Statistically he didn't have a good game, but he actually played very well. another example would be Hazard vs Man City away

YES! Leys just get Thibaut a new contract and my life will be complete

different type of players, and hazard isn't as consistent as Silva.

Prime Cole and Hazard would have been deadly

Completely forgot about Buffon. I'd probably put him in over Asenjo, but then again there's Weiderfeller, Enyeama and Sirigu who I left out, who in my opinion are all better than Buffon currently. imo Lloris, Cech, Neuer, and Courtois have to make up the top 4, no doubt about it

Sturridge would have been an amazing second option. And he's homegrown. He's a great striker now, look what regular playtime does to you. His game has improved so much since he moved to Liverpool

We never should have sold him.

These are my top 7.. 7. Asenho (Villareal keeper) 6. Ochoa 5. Lloris 4. Cech 3. Keylor Navas 2. Courtois 1. Oxlade Chamberlain and neuer too

that's what his role does to him. he's a playmaker, he makes others play well. if they're not making runs and getting in space he won't be effective

I know you just want me to strip for you

GUYS DON'T LET MY FIRST ARTICLE DIEEEEEE i will strip for you if you comment on this thread

He doesn't deserve a club as great as Aletico - should have stayed at River Plate (even they're too good for him, they're a big big club)

Courtois Luis - Terry - Cahill - Brana Matic - Fabregas Hazard - Oscar - Schurrle Diego. Fucking. Costa. Filipe has to start, this would be the perfect game to ease him into the side. We can't let the best LB in the world rot on the bench till the COC games

I hope Falcao stays at Monaco, for his whole career. Hate traitors like him.

Fucking hell you're more dumb than pessimistic. it was one post, one fucking post and im derailing threads

If Man City buy Falcao they're idiots
